Apr 7, 2011
(PRESS RELEASE) -- Fight Card Entertainment, Chicagoland’s Premier
Mixed Martial Arts Promoter has announced a spectacular heavyweight
main event between Maurice Green and Jeremy Moore at FCE
39/VENDETTA next Saturday night, April 16th at the SportsZone in
Melrose Park, Illinois.
“It took us a bit longer than we would have liked, but we’re very proud to announce this terrific heavyweight bout between Maurice Green and Jeremy Moore” said Brian Angelo of Fight Card Entertainment.
”The FCE 39/Vendetta card was already full of terrific fights, but
adding this main event truly takes it to a much higher level for
the MMA fans of Chicagoland.”
‘The winner of this fight will have excellent opportunities ahead of him with Fight Card Entertainment so there is a great deal at stake for both of these warriors.”
Moore, of Streator, Illinois was a winner in his last outing in August 2009, forcing Christopher Roby to submit with an arm-triangle choke.
Also featured at FCE 39/Vendetta is a highly anticipated women’s bout between FCE fan favorite Esli Kilponen and Elizabeth Roig.
Kilponen made her name with Fight Card Entetainment in January 2008 when she fought in the company’s first women’s battle, beating Ashley Hartonovich with a rear naked choke.
