NASHVILLE, Tenn. — Professional mixed martial arts (MMA) returns to Music City this Saturday night, June 19, with another Gameness Fighting Championship event. “GFC 7” will feature Strikeforce veterans Dustin Ortiz and Justin Pennington, as well as long time Nashville MMA coach Ray Casias, who is coming out of retirement for his last fight ever.

Also, Team Lloyd Irvin’s JC Cuffee will be on the card, undefeated Todd Cutller from Daytona beach will be fighting, and local Overton superstar wrestler Charles McTorry will be making his MMA debut.

The action starts at 7:00 p.m. CT at the Tennessee State Fairgrounds Sports Arena. The last event sold out and they had to turn people away at the door. So get your tickets early online at www.NashvilleCageFights.com or by calling 615-777-9350.

In an effort to help the Nashville Ronald McDonald House, Gameness Fighting Championship is asking everyone to please bring a “canned good”, a toy, blanket, or anything that could be used by them.
