Global FC Announces Inaugural Event

At Mohegan Sun 

     The action, strategy and violence of America’s hottest growth sport, Mixed Martial Arts, comes to the Mohegan Sun Arena Friday night, August 17.  The event promoters, New York City based Global Fighting Championships, announce the bouts to be the start of a program to bring top level Mixed Martial Arts Championship fighting to the East Coast on a regular basis. 

     The lineup will boast four main events, featuring top Mixed Martial Arts competitors, and a complete undercard of first rate local talent looking to build names for themselves. 

Those signed for the featured bouts are:

• Eric “Butterbean” Esch 
• Mark “Smashing Machine” Kerr 
• Jeff “The Snowman” Monson
• Edwin “Baby Face” Dewees
• Stefan Gamlin
• Sean “Nightmare” O’Haire
• Wes “The Project” Simms
• Mavrick “Soul Collector” Harvey

    Event promoter Wayne DeMilia declared his intention to produce a series of championship level bouts featuring top MMA fighters, saying, “In the past MMA fans had to travel to Las Vegas or California to see the top tier talent in the sport in person.  Global Fighting Championships will bring MMA’s best fighters to the most populated area in the nation, and to its fans who are clamoring to see them live.  The East Coast has always been a Mecca for pro fighting.  Global FC will present MMA events worthy of this legacy.”  Additional signings, and the pairings for the August 17 fights, will be announced shortly.
