International Combat Event 5

Date:September 19th, 2003
Time:Fight Time: 8:00pm
Location:Middletown, Ohio

This event is turning into a popular event quickly and is the premier event for MMA here in OHio. Of course this show will be a MMA cage fights. Jason's fight will take place at the 155lb mark and will be the Main Event of the evening for a possible #1 contender spot at the Lightweight Title of the I.C.E. Promotion. Billy should be a tough opponnent for Jason because he appears to be a good submission artist and striker as many of his wins come by way of Tapout and TKO's. I do not know to much else about this show but MMA fights are always fun to watch, so if are interested in going to this show let me know. Mike and Jason will be leaving Friday morning and have room for one more person if anyone would like to go with them. On an interesting note a guy by the name of Antoine Skinner will be fighting at this show and he is the only man to beat Jason in MMA fighting so far(by decision of course). So if both win this could set up a rematch. GriffonRawl Fighters Jason "Dynamite" Dent (6-1) vs. Billy Rush (7-4)

Extreme Combat Challenge "Mayhem In Muncie"

Date:August 23rd, 2003
Time:Fight Time: 8:00pm
Location:Muncie, Indiana

This will be are second time to this event here in Indiana. One thing I really like about this Promotion in general is that it still allows many techniques that are banned from most of the other shows. This will mark Jason's Pro MMA return to the ECC where he will face hometown favorite Antoine Skinner in the Main Event Fight. Mike Russo will be making his MMA debut and entering the cage for the first time ever instead of the ring in which he is used to. Remember Mixed Martial Arts events allow everyting that Muay Thai does and more, you have to be well versed in stand up as well as the ground game, combatents wear only 4 ounce gloves. This should be an exciting event and I would expect it to be filmed for DVD like the last event was. We wish both of these GriffonRawl Warriors good luck and a safe trip.

GriffonRawl standouts Aaron Veverka, and Mike Russo are both set to compete at this event.

Most everybody here at the Gym usually either competes in Muay Thai or MMA but we like to fight and will deal with the changes and have some fun.I (Jason) will be attending this event to coach and corner our guys, also Tim Stafford, Brett Wessler, and Mike's girlfriend Amanda will be coming to cheer our guys on. If you would like to go and watch these fights please contact me via e-mail at jdent@alltel.net or give me a call if you have my number already. We are meeting at the school around 12:00 on Friday, July 11th, and the drive is estimated to be about 3 hours.
