HALIFAX — Extreme Cage Combat announced its first “superfight” as
Dan Severn (Pictures) faces off against 260-pound Ontario, Canada native
Jim Dobson.
Extreme Cage Combat 2 “Collision Course” is hitting the road and going to the Province of New Brunswick, where the Moncton Coliseum hopes to duplicate the success of the Halifax Forum and have a sellout crowd on June 30.
For the second time the main event will feature
Jason MacDonald (Pictures), victorious at ECC 1 against rumored
The Ultimate Fighter season four fighter
Gideon Ray (Pictures). This time MacDonald’s opponent will be tough Montreal fighter and Brazilian Top Team Canada member
Stephan Potvin (Pictures).
Several ECC fighters besides MacDonald are returning, including
Bryan Edge,
Dave Scholten,
Jason MacKay and Peter Rogers. Fans hoping to see local favorite
Roger Hollett will have to wait though; he’ll be back in the cage for ECC3, scheduled for the end of July in Halifax.
Combat Productions seems intent on keeping to its ambitious plan of holding regularly scheduled events in the Maritimes. ECC 4 is already in the works for Sydney, Cape Breton in September.
One unexpected problem arising for them, however, stems from the current abundance of mixed martial arts events taking place around Canada and the US. While there are countless up-and-coming fighters to its fill cards, ECC is having a difficult time finding a main event for July.
ECC 2 weigh-ins will take place at Naturally Fit on Mountain Road at approximately 4 p.m. on Thursday June 29 and will be open to the public.
