ON THE ROPES
Before the UFC jumped on the trend of the U.S. vs. Canada, the creators of South Park, Trey Parker and Matt Stone were already light years ahead of them, and so was the MFC, who had already hosted various U.S. vs. The World bills, including Canada.
So if you want to stay on the edge of trend setting MMA you better come on down to Atlantic City on March 4th and experience the MFC 6 Boardwalk Blitz. This event will feature a superb ladies MMA match up as Tara Larosa takes on Roxanne Modafferi in what promises to be a very exciting technical battle. Roxannne has been training hard in Japan and Tara is more than ready for war, as her last MFC bout with Amanda Bruckner (Smack Girl Champion) was cancelled do to Bruckner suffering from food poisoning.

Also, while the UFC has had a more than just a temporary lapse and forgot about the extremely talented lightweight division (155 lbs.) the MFC has been busy putting on superb shows which have featured the worlds top lightweight fighters such as Hermes Franca, Yves Edwards, Joachim Hansen, and a Rich Clementi who has been going only up since his last Octagon fight against Yves.
And Speaking of Din Thomas, this talented lightweight will be one of a few UFC veterans including the very dangerous striker Dave Strasser (middleweight) who will be fighting in this card. Also from the Strasser Academy are Nick Thompson and Nick Agallar, two rising stars in MMA who are here to show their stuff.
Although the Carlo Prater (ATT) vs. Eddie Alvarez (Fight Factory) fight has been postponed due to injury, you can still see the leader of the Fight Factory Stephen Haigh in action as well as seeing the stellar Prater take on Derrick Noble. Another rising talent is Chris Ligouri who will be taking on the hard working Jay Jack also in the welterweight division. Also there will be some guaranteed slugging in the heavyweight division with three big fights to tilt the scales
It will be interesting to see how MMA fighters incorporate many more different strategies and tactics in the much more challenging environment of the roped ring instead of a cage. The future of MMA is "on the ropes" so come on down to MFC 6 for some close up live action. So before the UFC usurps the ladies MMA circuit, come and see it while it’s still affordable and fresh.
