SportFight X, the Southeast’s Ultimate Proving Ground is back with Project 9-6-1 and REDLINE VPX determined to serve notice with it’s upcoming card set for July 10 at the Georgia World Congress Center in Atlanta, Ga.
The event is appropriately titled SportFight X #3 Undefeated as a record total of 18 undefeated fighters fill in the card. The 2010 REDLINE 155 Grand Prix will also kick off for this years season and eight of the baddest undefeated fighters will battle it out in a tournament to determine MMA’s next break-out star.
Headlining this card is Pan Am BJJ Brown Belt World Champion and Georgia’s own Ethan Garrison 7-0 who is taking on his biggest challenge to date in “Vicious” Sammy Collingwood out of FL.
Collingwood is an MMA badboy who is known for unparalleled strength, KO power and letting emotions get the best of him as several of his previous fight’s have ended in uproar.
Taunts, screams and disrespectful gestures are often thrown at losing opponents from Collingwood. Once even leading into a second fight occurring once the first had been finished resulting in Sammy getting head-butted and retaliating with a front kick to the face of his sitting opponent.
“Am I out of my league? Ethan should be asking is he out of HIS league.” Said Sammy on an interview on Sportfightx.com.
“I like to knock people out, but it doesn’t matter to me how I win, all I can say is he’s gon’ FEEL it. Dhiego, you better be ready to get it on.” Says Keon Caldwell with a thick Georgia accent, who is UNDEFEATED 7-0 and taking on Ascencion MMA’s Dhiego Lima who is 2-0 and one of the southeast’s most explosive up-and-comers.
When asked what he thought of fighting such an experienced opponent Lima replied “I’m not intimidated at all by his record. I will fight anybody. Records are only numbers, and when the cage door shuts, it’s just me and him. And that’s all that matters. We will see if he is still undefeated after this fight.”
Georgia MMA veteran George Allen takes on John Buck of Team Husky. Buck, a regular main event in other local MMA promotions, is known for his outstanding wrestling and legs the size of Volkswagon’s is eager to face the veteran who has fought some of MMA’s elite including a three round war with UFC’s Keith Jardine.
This card is stacked with exciting fights from the first to the last and includes several stand-outs like UNDEFEATED striker and BJJ purple belt Josh Glover taking on Judo specialist Gabriel Abkarian.
Striking phenom Andre “300” Caminera, son of George Allen, takes on KO artist Cody Canada 3-0 (all KO’s) “I just hope he has the balls to stand with me.” Said Canada. “I’m glad he is so confident, I won’t feel so bad when I kick his damn head off,” replies Andre 300.
