Just heard from Larry Novak, owner of New Cumberland-based Tattoo Fightwear. He told me he's sponsoring Dustin Pague at Friday's PA Fighting Championship. Pague, a 155-pound fighter at 5-2, takes on Andrew Montanez, who is 7-11.

This is the inside of The Arena, just imagine there's a cage there instead of a ring.

Jerod said overall, the event was cool, although the fights were reduced from 11 to 7, for unforeseen circumstances. The Arena, Jerod said, is like a big, stuffy, sweaty warehouse. I remember hearing about ECW fans talking about hot it would get in there and what a great experience it was - it seems to add to the gritty, primal nature of fighting, whether it be real or choreographed.

"The crowd was really into it, it was loud," he said.

Jerod also said the main event between Dutin Pague, who beat Biff at the Respect Is Earned event and Jeff Lentz was an all-out war.,

"Dutin got beat up - Lentz is crazy with his strikes, unorthodox," Jerod said. "It was a hell of a fight."

Dustin Pague

MMAinPA.com, Dustin Pague of Hulstine Athletics in Harrisburg defeated William Childs of Team Husky last night at The Smokey Mountain Brawl in Asheville, North Carolina, via arm bar at 1:30 of round one. This makes two wins in two fights in nine days and ups his record to 4-1-0 since turning pro just seven months ago. You can read a post fight interview with Pague after his R.I.E. win here.

You might remember that Childs was the guy who knee-barred Jay Haas at the inaugural Central Pennsylvania Warrior Challenge in April. Also, Pague's second win mentioned above was a rear naked choke on York County's Biff Walizer at the first Respect is Earned event in Oaks, Pa.
