WRECK MMA: FIGHTS FOR THE TROOPS
Oct 20, 2009
(PRESS RELEASE) --Planet Ink Studios and Wreck MMA are proud to
announce new fights for the upcoming WRECK MMA: FIGHTS FOR THE
TROOPS on Dec. 12th, 2009.
In the co-main event of the evening Mark ‘Boots’ Holst returns home to Gatineau to fight one of the top lightweights in Canada, Guillaume ‘Il Toro’ De Lorenzi. De Lorenzi is undefeated since moving down to the lightweight division but Holst is his biggest challenge to date. Fireworks are expected between two of the most exciting lightweights in Canada and the winner could be taking the next step to making an impact internationally.
After an impressive showing in his last bout, Mitch Gagnon steps
back into the Robert Guertin Arena to face Stephane Bernadel. Both
fighters come in with an identical 4-1 record, but with vastly
different styles. Bernadel is one of the slickest stand-up fighters
in the division and Gagnon comes with a devastating ground and
pound to go with a top notch submission game. As is the case for
most MMA bouts, the fighter who can dictate where the fight ends
up, is who will likely become victorious.
Also added to the card is Pembroke’s Chris Myra vs. Ottawa’s Xavier Desrochers in a bantamweight bout. Myra’s last fight was a much publicized win versus Robin Black and Desrochers comes in with a perfect record of 2-0.
