Fastest submission in the CPWC. Anybody know if Dickie has the record for the state?

A little less than a month away from a best-of-five matchup with Team Benelux, MMAjunkie.com (www.mmajunkie.com) has learned that prospect Charlie Brenneman (8-1), longtime MMAjunkie.com poster Logan Clark (11-3) and John Doyle (7-8) have been added to the M-1 Challenge's Team USA East.

Brenneman, from Hollidaysburg, Pa., is sponsored by Hanover-based MMA company Tap or Sleep. His last win was at Iron Will Fighting Championship. More recently, he was scheduled to fight at WKU Warrior Challenge in the Poconos, but his opponent Marcus Ajian failed his physical.

The two teams will compete at Studio 22 in Hilversum, Netherlands, just outside of Amsterdam, on Aug. 16.

The two-day "mega-taping," scheduled for Aug. 15 and Aug. 16, will feature 50 fights spread between 10 different teams. The event will air as an Internet pay-per-view in all markets outside of the U.S. and South Korea, while HDNet will broadcast the event in North America on Sept. 25.

I checked the Pa. State Athletic Commission Web site for the official results (and injury reports) of the Central Pennsylvania Warrior Challenge II, but nothing has been uploaded yet. No prob., it's still early. I'll check back later and let you know.

Second, I forgot to mention that at the CPWC II, an announcement was made that CPWC III will be held in Lancaster on Oct. 23. This promises to be a huge event - held in one of the halls at the newly-opened Lancaster Convention Center - with possibly some well-known pros on board, not to mention our own home-grown pros and amateurs, who are damn good in their own right. Check out the CPWC Web site for more info. Click "Upcoming events" on the left side to learn more about CPWC III.

Here's a quick run-down of the upcoming MMA events in the state:

7/24 - pro/am at Zembo Hall in Altoona
7/25 - pro/am at Avalon Hotel in Erie
8/8 - UFC 101 at Wachovia Center in Philadelphia
8/15 - pro/am at IceoPlex in Pittsburgh
8/21 - pro/am at Alhambra Arena in Philadelphia

You might have seen the Central Pennsylvania Warrior Challenge highlight video (below this one), which has spots from a number of Saturday's fights at Wisehaven. But, unfortunately, we weren't abel to get all of them. One in particular that stands out in my mind is Mike Oberdick's win over Rob Haley. Oberdick, who had a tough ground-war loss to Lewis Rumsey in the first CPWC, came back with a venegance, tapping out Haley in 17 seconds with an RNC. I know there's only been two CPWCs, but that 17 seconds record is going to be hard to beat. After the bell rung, was it me or did I see Oberdickpointing to hsi wrist, like where a watch would be, as if to say, "Hey, anybody got the time on that one?"

amateur fights:
135: John Andel beat Ryan Heflin by spilt decision. A great back-and-forth battle.
145: Eric Steppe beat Shea Banks by doctor stoppage in the second round.
145: Kevin Michael Flinchabugh won by uananimous decision over Danny Signor.
170: Justin Scott went 7-0 as an amateur by beating Justin Krebs with an RNC.

Tom Joyce and I had the extreme pleasure of sitting cageside for the Central Pennsylvania Warrior Challenge II on Saturday. What a night of fights, people! Truly amazing from start to finish is all I can say. And since I can't say anymore, check out this highlight Tom and I put together. Sorry if I sound a little sleepy, this is after hours of editing video, but well worth it considering the effort all of the fighters put forth. Congrats to all of them and promoter Mark Jovich, his sponsors and the state athletic commission for another successful MMA event in Pennsylvania.

Flinchbaugh

Recently, I blogged about a rematch between Kevin Michael Flinchbaugh and Phil Meck at Central Pennsylvania Warrior Challenge II on July 18 at Wisehaven in York Township. Well, looks like that fight is off for now.

Here's Kevin messaging me on myspace: "Hope you didn't get to excited for my rematch lol, Phil Meck has been medically disqualified to fight. so for the time being its not going to happen. I was offered two other fights, but im not sure what im doing yet. Hopefully ill get the rematch whenever he gets cleared."

I then talked with promoter Mark Jovich who confirmed what Kevin said. "His doctor won't clear him to fight," Jovich said of Meck. Unfortunate, because I'm sure both fighters were ready to go at it again - they definitely gave it their all the first time around.

Here's another update on tickets for the return of the Central Pennsylvania Warrior Challenge to Wisehaven - promoter Mark Jovich tells me there are about 100 tickets left. Get 'em while you can. Click here to go to the CPWC Web site, then go to the left-hand column and click "Ticket Information."

KMF

Got a myspace message from Kevin Michael Flinchbaugh a couple days ago, who had a back-and-forth three-round draw with Philip Meck of Get Real Martial Arts in Lancaster at the first Central Pennsylvania Warrior Challenge: "Get ready for my rematch with phil meck. I've switched schools and have been training with Hanover Academy of Mixed Martial Arts."

According to Lewis "The Beast" Rumsey's myspace, the Williamsport fighter will turn pro in November. Fighting out of Team Vicious, Rumsey has amassed an 8-4 record and recently gained a sponsor in Tattoo Fightwear. Rumsey fought Mike Oberdick at the first Central Pennsylvania Warrior Challenge in April, beating Dickie by unanimous decision. Next, he'll defend the LHW title he won at CPWC II on July 18.

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.

Larry Novak at Tattoo Fightwear sent me an email, listing the fighters he's sponsoring at the upcoming Central Pennsylvania Warrior Challenge at Wisehaven on July 18:

Justin Scott 6-0
Chad Strawbridge 1-1
John Andel 2-0
Duane Bastress 2-0
Adam Hostetter 1-0
Brent Kroh 1-3
Troy Jensen 0-0
Lewis Rumsey, 8-4
