King of the Cage "Drop Zone"

Time:Details coming soon
Location:Soaring Eagle Casino Detroit, Michigan

GriffonRawl head instructor Jason Dent is scheduled to take on Joe Voisin in a rematch. Jason and Joe fought for the ECC 145lbs title in Indiana not too long ago.

Caged Vengeance Fight Card ReleasedThe Gladiators Fighting Series proudly announces its return to Cleveland, Ohio with another action packed professional MMA fight card set for Saturday, February 18th, 2006.“Caged Vengeance” will be held at the historic Gray’s Armory in downtown Cleveland and will feature as many as fourteen bouts.Special guests will include 4-time Kickboxing World Champion Duke Roufus who will serve as special guest announcer along with former UFC Heavyweight Champion Mark “The Hammer” Coleman.Cleveland’s Jason “Dynamite” Dent (14-6) looks to follow up on an impressive performance during last September’s Fight Nite in the Flats when he clashes with up and coming Clint Zeedyk (8-4). Zeedyk, who’s dropping to 155lbs for the first time in his career, will be looking to put himself in the Lightweight title hunt with a win over Dent, as the winner will likely fight for the GFS Lightweight title this June.Also returning to Cleveland will be Peak Submission’s Allan Weickert (7-1) who went toe-to-toe in his last Cleveland appearance with K-1 veteran and UFC hopeful Ben Rothwell. Weickert will have his hands full with the tough Hammer House veteran Matt Hershberger (10-9) in a featured Heavyweight clash.In another of the night’s anticipated match ups, “The Apostle” Luke Spencer (8-5) will collide with Team Strong Style’s Arman Loktev (2-0). Loktev will need another great performance if he hopes to earn a win over the experienced Spencer who’s been in the ring with some of the sport’s best Lightweights.Jason “Steeltown” Taylor will look to stay unbeaten when he clashes with Tommy “Gun” Ridenbaugh in another Lightweight contender bout, plus the hard hitting Richy Karst will battle the always tough Brandon Lee.
