1/26/11 (Morgantown, WV): With this Saturdays Caged Fury 16 officially selling out earlier this week, the NAAFS in conjunction with Simon’s Promotions and Go Fight Live have announced that Caged Fury 16 will be streamed live for $14.99. Fans can log on to www.NAAFS.tv or www.GFL.tv  to watch the event which is set to begin at 7 PM EST.

The main event will showcase 3-time UFC veteran Sean “Big Sexy” McCorkle (13-2) as he collides with undefeated slugger Mike Gordon (4-0) in a super heavyweight battle. “The Big Sexy” comes in riding a three fight win streak as he makes his NAAFS debut against a tough young prospect in Gordon. Gordon is 4-0 as a professional and has finished each of his four opponents in the first round. A win over McCorkle will no doubt put Gordon on the map nationally and could earn him a crack at the coveted NAAFS pro series HW title.

NAAFS Caged Fury 16 will mark one of the state’s first ever sanctioned events which will also feature some of the sport’s top young professional fighters as part of this taped for television fight card. Included will be a history making bout between Ashley Cummins and Stephanie Frausto who’ll become the first females to ever compete in a sanctioned MMA bout in the state of West Virginia. Cummins is widely considered one of the WMMA’s top young prospects with an overall MMA record of 7-0. Frausto (1-2 pro), a Bellator vet and the younger sister of current Bellator world champion Zoila Frausto, hopes that a win over Cummins will catapult her in to the WMMA rankings at 115 lbs.

Bellator veteran Joey “The Hitman” Holt (9-5) returns to the NAAFS after a highlight reel KO over previously undefeated Clint Musser at Bellator 51. Holt faces NAAFS newcomer Nate Hall (6-4) who will look to make a name for himself with a won over a highly touted Holt.

Former NAAFS pro series welterweight contender Mickey Hughes (8-7) will face Bellator vet Brandon Sailing (15-8) at 185 lbs. Hughes has been in the NAAFS cage against the likes of Chris Lozano, Travis Clark, Nick Duell and owns a win over UFC vet Justin Edwards early in his career. Brandon Sailing comes in a winner of three of his last four bouts, with his only defeat in that span coming at Bellator 59.

NAAFS light heavyweight contender Josh Stansbury (12-4) will look for his third straight win when he faces John Opfar (10-4) in an NAAFS contender’s bout. The winner will likely face current champion Dan Spohn for the 205 lbs NAAFS title later in the year.
