(PRESS RELEASE) -- X1 World Events in their first ever event on the Big Island has an action packed card lined up featuring some of Big Island’s best talent. The live event takes place 7:00 PM Saturday May 9, 2009, at the Kekuaokalani Gym in Kailua-Kona, Hawaii.
The co-main event will feature two well rounded fighters both from the Big Island. Dominic Ahnee who now resides in Maui will return home to face off against former 155lb MMA Champion Aleka Rincon in a lightweight matchup. Justin Mercado of Team MMAD on Oahu will also be returning home to the Big Island to take on the very talented and very colorful Dave Moreno in a featherweight matchup. Both matches will be non stop action with an exciting mix of ground and standup action.
The grudge match of the evening will pit Kona Boxing’s Pat Fuga against the seasoned veteran Mark Smith. These two have some unfinished business that will be settled in exciting fashion for the Big Island MMA fans. Also that night the always exciting Tyler Kahihikolo will go up against Wyatt Leong of Hawaii International Boxing, and Spencer Higa will take on Peni Taufa’ao for the X1 145lb Kickboxing Title. Both guys are well rounded strikers and will put it all on the line with the hopes of capturing the vacant title.
Also that night will be an exciting Undercard featuring more of Big Island’s top fighters.
