Clovis, NM. – December 20, 2010 – Evolution Combat Sports Championship, a Clovis based mixed martial arts fight organization, announced today that main event fighter Josh “The Lunatic” Luna will face a new opponent on January 7, at the FRIDAY NIGHT FIGHTS event. The former main event bout was to feature KOTC heavyweight contender Tyler “The Beast” East. East was pulled from the fight card due to legalities. Luna will now face Armando “Lumberjack” Quinones in the main event at “Evolution Combat Sports Championship Presents: FRIDAY NIGHT FIGHTS” at the Clovis Civic Center, in Clovis New Mexico.

According to Martin Singleterry, president of Evolution Combat Sports Championship, “We did everything in our power to avoid pulling Tyler East from the card, but certain legalities, un-related to KOTC or our event, forced us to do so. We wish East the best and hope to feature him on a future Evolution Combat Sports Championship card. The sudden vacancy on our FRIDAY NIGHT FIGHTS card has opened the door of opportunity for a very promising heavyweight fighter out of New Mexico, Armando ‘Lumberjack’ Quinones.”

Armando “Lumberjack” Quinones, a decorated champion in multiple mixed martial arts disciplines, will make his highly anticipated professional MMA debut on January 7th, when he steps into the cage to face Amarillo fan favorite Josh “The Lunatic” Luna (6-3-0). Although this is Quinones pro MMA debut, he is no stranger to the game and is a champion in his own right. He is a Muay Thai International Champion, West Coast NAGA Champion, and International BJJ Absolute Champion, two-time Four Corner Golden Gloves Champion, and two-time New Mexico Kickboxing Champion. Not only is Quinones a decorated fighter and active student of the game, he is also a licensed trainer and respected coach.

Singleterry went on to say, “Quinones has proven himself in every individual mixed martial arts discipline and has the true potential to become a break out star in this sport. On January 7th we are giving him that opportunity. A main event win over a notable fighter like Luna would open a lot of doors for Quinones in MMA, but he has one hell of a battle ahead of him. Luna is as tough as they come and plans to show no mercy on Friday night. This is just one of many compelling match-ups on the card.”
