Chris' recent myspace posting says, "Whoo! Fightn @the Coca-Cola event Center in Bricktown,OKC Aug.28th @155."
Mark Jovich tells me there's still a few tickets left if you want to attend the Central Pennsylvania Warrior Challenge II at Wisehaven on July 18. Get your tickets here. The card is stacked with talented local fighters, and there are two re-matches from the last show. It should be an awesome show, as the first history-making event was, and there's not a bad seat in the house.
Marc Slomske had a depressing - but unfortunately, all too common - tale to tell me earlier this week. Late last week, he and his fight crew from Middletown, Pa. were gearing up for an event in Lancaster, OH. His fighters wanted to get a taste of Ohio's amateur rules, which are very similar to professional rules, with no kick pads and striking on the ground. The event was to be held last Saturday, but on Thursday, Slomske received a call from the event's promoter, who said it had been canceled.
"I guess it fell through," Slomske said. "We had four guys on the card. It was disheartening. We were training our rear-ends off."
Not wallowing in despair, Slomske's fight team is focused on the future, which promises to be full of action: the fight team of Brett Evans, Jonathan Weirich, Justin Krebs, Chris Evans and Danny Signor, have fights at both the WKU Warrior Challenge in the Poconos on June 26 and the Central Pennsylvania Warrior Challenge II on July 18 at Wisehaven in York Township.
Next Legend Fightwear, an MMA clothing company owned by Marc Slomske of Slomske's Tae Kwon Do in Middletown, will be releasing a line of clothing on Monday. You might recognize Slomske's name from the Central Pennsylvania Warrior Challenge, where several of his guys competed.
Wanting to get a taste of amateur rules that allow strikes on the ground (contrary to Pa's rules), Slomske has scheduled some fo his guys for fights in an upcoming event in Lancaster, Ohio on May 30. Fighting on the card will be Brett Evans, Jonathan Weirich and Justin Krebs
Brett Evans is also scheduled for the Warrior Challenge at the Poconos on June 26.
And when the Central Pennsylvania Warrior Challenge returns to Wisehaven on July 18, the entire team will be there: Brett Evans, Jonathan Weirich, Justin Krebs, Chris Evans and Danny Signor.
In addition, Ohio fighter Josh "The Bulldog" Riley is sponsored by Next Legend.
Marc told me hats, beanies, hoodies and shirts should be up on the Next Legend Web site early next week. Check them out on myspace too.
