ROCKTAGON MMA PRESENTS “ROCKTAGON MMA XXIII – WARRIORS, RAISE YOUR SHIELDS”
ON COMCAST TCN AND CSN SPORTSNET BEGINNING FEBRUARY 11
New York, NY (February 8, 2013) – This weekend GFL and Comcast continue their weekly combat sports series, “Real Fights” with world class MMA, as Rocktagon MMA presents Rocktagon MMA XXII – Warriors, Raise Your Shields featuring 13 hotly contested matchups inside the cage anchored by a main event that is sure to be all about honor, the warrior spirit and blood sweat and tears as Cody “The Wolverine” Stevens (9-9) and Cory “The Irish Car Bomb” Mahon (9-5) square off in a featherweight battle for the ages.
Stevens and Mahon are two fighters cut from the same gritty cloth and don’t know the meaning of retreat. Expect this bout to be combustible right from the opening bell and a battle of attrition as neither of these fighters will back down.
In the co-main event, and the pride of Indiana, Bellator veteran Anthony “The Recipe” Lapsley (21-5) fights Wisconsin’s own Gerald “The Machine” Meerschaert (15-5) in a battle of Midwest mercenaries in the 175 lb division. Lapsley and Meerschaert are two veteran MMA fighters who have been through wars and have the scars and stories to prove it. Don’t miss this matchup of two grizzled veterans.
