Pittsburgh native and former LionHeart Fighters trainer Mark "Fightshark" Miller was back in his hometown for the Ultimate Cage Fighting Challenge event and took a couple photos. Mark's still living out in LA, planning his comeback fight, which might occur in the fall.
With Tito Ortiz.
With undefeated LHW Phil Davis.
Be sure to check out Mark's Web site here.
This video was sent to me by Chad Dubin at LionHeart. Here's the lowdown on LH's fighters: "Phil Davis improved his unbeaten professional record to 4-0 with another 1st round TKO over David Baggett. In his first four professional fights, Phil has gone into the second round only once.
Paul Bradley got back to his winning ways to improve his record to 11-1 with a dominating performance over Leonardo Pecanha. Paul won another stand up war by unanimous decision."
Still trying to find results from last night's UCFC "Rumble on the Rivers" event that went down in Pittsburgh and featured LionHeart Fighters Phil Davis and Paul Bradley (word was David Sachs did not fight) plus veterans like Rich Clementi and Cole Miller, not to mention hot female prospect - and new LionHeart Fighter Meghan Wright. I'll let you know when I find out something.
Mixed martial arts has been legal in Pennsylvania for a little over two months and in that time, there have been several events, but the state has yet to see two female fighters step into the cage.
Two amateur fights booked for the WKU Warrior Challenge event on June 26, appear to be the first overall, but probably the first high-profile women's fight will be the next night, June 27, when LionHeart Fighters' Meghan "The Babe" Wright takes on Angela Magana at Ultimate Cage Fighting Challenge's Rumble on the Rivers in Pittsburgh.
Got an email today from Larry Novak, owner of New Cumberland-based MMA clothing company, Tattoo Fightwear. Larry tells me he's sponsoring Pennsylvania fighter Meghan "The Babe" Wright, who, as you can see above, is on the UCFC's Rumble on the Rivers card, fighting Angela Magana.
Meghan's last amateur fight:

This one promises to be a good one, with three LionHeart Fighters on the card, plus one of my favorite former UFC'ers, Rich "No Love" Clementi.
