 It’s time we reported some exciting news from our MMA corner... the boys have certainly been busy these past few months!
On the 24th of February, Ben “Manimal” Wall fought Robert Lisita in the Cage Fighting Championship #20 at the Southport Sharks Club. After three rounds of an action packed battle, the judges decided unanimously that Ben was the winner. What a great match!
Ben has been named “one of the top 155 lb prospects in Australia”, and his win against Lisita has sealed him as challenger for the CFC lightweight belt according to James Goyder of CFC World.
You can read the full review of the event by James Goyder on the CFC World site. He also wrote a report on Ben including an interview on MMA Mania. Check out the CFC 20 photo album on Ben’s Facebook Page... some awesome shots there!

 Tonight (9 March 2012), Jarrett “Juarez” Owen is fighting on Reincarnation by Fighting Network Rings in Tokyo, Japan. He weighed in at 59kg yesterday and is 100% ready to take on his Japanese opponent Kenichi Ito. The fights will be streamed live HERE at 7pm Brisbane time, if you want to see the action as it happens. Jarrett’s is the fifth fight from the start, but keep an eye out for the other two Aussies on the team, Brendan O’Reilly in the second fight, and Chris Haseman in fight number 9.
To wish Jarrett all the best of luck in the fight and keep up with his adventures in Japan, check out his Facebook Page!
GOOD LUCK, JUAREZ! We’ll be watching every second and screaming for you even if you can’t hear us!
