TWO MORE DYNAMIC FIGHTS ON CAPITAL PUNISHMENT APRIL 25TH CARD

Hometown Hero Marcus Foran Returns while Ron "The Choir Boy" Stallings vs. Damian "The Reach" Dantibo Matchup Rounds Out Patriot Center Show

(PRESS RELEASE) -- The Ultimate Warrior Challenge finalized its card for UWC - Capital Punishment with two additional local vs. national showdowns. Maryland native Ron "The Choir Boy" Stallings will face California's Damian "The Reach" Dantibo, while Marcus Foran will take on last-minute fill-in Joey Kirwan in a battle of Marylanders, on Saturday, April 25 at the George Mason University Patriot Center.

Ron "The Choir Boy" Stallings (7-2-1), a deeply religious man finding tremendous success in the cage, will return for his fourth UWC show. Since falling to now-teammate Reshad Woods last April, Stallings has become a crowd favorite, energizing the crowd with two consecutive knockout victories.

Fighting out of Lloyd Irvin Martial Arts, Stallings is the head instructor at Top Flight MMA in Harford County, MD, an Irvin-affiliated gym. The highly-regarded Irvin raised Stallings' all-around fight game, working on striking and improving his grappling after the Baltimore native came to him in 2006. Since then, he has captured several grappling championships while perfecting his Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu. In his last performance, he delivered a devastating first round knee-to-the-head knockout of former NFL running back Herbert "Whisper" Goodman.

Goodman lost to John Krohn in 2007, and was knocked out in 2008 by Stalling's next opponent, Damian "The Reach" Dantibo (4-0-1) of Los Angeles, CA. A powerful striker and skilled grappler, Dantibo has made a name for himself on the West Coast. MMA isn't his only high-level sport. For two years, he was a pitcher in independent baseball leagues, compiling a 4-3 record in 11 games, and was featured in the minor league documentary, "Playing For Peanuts.".

His focus now is squarely on MMA, which doesn't bode well for anyone sharing a cage with the fiery right hander. He has ended fights via TKO, armbar, kneebar, and guillotine choke, proving his transformation to a complete MMA combatant. From pitching fastballs to throwing fists and locking in submission moves, the undefeated Dantibo is a force to be reckoned with and has an arsenal of weapons to challenge his east coast foe.

The card originally included a highly-anticipated re-match of Marcus Foran (6-2-1) and Richie Hightower after their controversial fight at UWC - Man 'O' War ended in a no contest decision after an accidental foul committed by Hightower. However, the proposed showdown between the 185-pound brawlers recently fell through, and the up-and-coming Joey Kirwan (2-1) stepped in as a last-minute replacement.

Foran is well-known to UWC fans, as the only fighter to appear on every UWC show where he has compiled a 3-1-1 record, including submission victories over Tenyeh Dixon and Chris Reedy. Born and raised in Bowie, MD, Foran achieved national recognition as a wrestler at DeMatha High School where he earned all-American status. He spent time in the U.S. Marines Special Forces, followed by six years in Japan studying Karate, before entering the cage.

Now fighting out of the prestigious Greg Jackson MMA camp in Albuquerque, NM, Foran has always received a warm and enthusiastic welcome as a hometown hero at the Patriot Center shows. An accomplished all-around fighter, Foran is comfortable going the distance to earn a decision, but can shred opponents with his array of submission maneuvers.

Just a few Beltway exits away from Foran's hometown in Millersville, MD, Kirwan has trained as a wrestler, boxer and MMA fighter. When UWC fans met Kirwan, he was making his professional debut against Kris "Savage" McCray at UWC - Confrontation. Since losing that bout , he has racked-up two consecutive victories. Filling-in for a fight at the last minute is a daunting task, especially going up against an accomplished fighter such as Foran who was looking to settle an old score, but Kirwan is to be admired for stepping up to the task.

D.C.'s hometown superstar, Mike "The Hulk" Easton, will defend his UWC Bantamweight Championship title against up-and-comer Josh "Taz" Ferguson in the evening's Main Event. Look for a special guest appearance from legendary superstar Tito Ortiz, the "Huntington Beach Bad Boy.
