In addition to the main event of John Flock vs. Vincent Courts at Central Pennsylvania Warrior Challenge 13 on Sept. 17 in York, promoter Mark Jovich has added a second big bout, making them co-main events: PA’s Lewis “The Beast” Rumsey vs. NC’s Zachary Klouse.
Rumsey, (5-6), who trains out of Williamsport, PA’s Team Vicious, has been a fixture at CPWC events, going back to his amateur days. Rumsey may not have the best record, but one thing fans can be sure of: He comes to fight, every single time. Rumsey was off to a shaky start with his pro career, going 1-5, before taking a trip out west and training with Matt Hughes’ H.I.T. Squad. The change definitely did Rumsey good, as he rattled off four straight wins upon his return. Rumsey’s streak came to a halt when he met Gemiyale Adkins at Locked in the Cage – Thursday Night Fights 2 on Aug. 4, losing by decision. Rumsey is comfortable in nearly all aspects of the game, and really pushes the pace — kind of like a bigger Clay Guida.
Klouse, who trains out of Team Huskey in North Carolina, is 3-0 as a pro. Klouse has fought in Pennsylvania before, defeating Terrill Leech at CPWC X in February in York, by decision. Klouse’ team uses catch wrestling as their groundfighting style. Trainer Johnny Huskey’s mentor, Billy Wicks, is an old-time carny wrestler, where, before wrestling became fake, would take on all comers in real wrestling matches in local carnivals. Klouse will enjoy a two-inch height advantage over Rumsey, and probably a weight advantage, since he is listed as 225. Wherever the fight goes, this one is sure to satisfy.
