West Coast Fighting in Sacramento this Saturday
SACRAMENTO, Calif. - Questo Sabato mixed martial arts fans will pour into the McClellan Conference Center in Sacramento for West Coast Fighting Championship 16.
The 13-bout card features a main event that’s been dubbed “King of Sacramento” pitting local favorites Max Griffin and David Mitchell.
“It wasn’t easy, but we were able to put it together,” West Coast Fighting Championship matchmaker Jeremy Luchau said. “There was a lot that had to be negotiated between Max and David, but ultimately I feel like both guys were able to concede in some areas to make the fight happen.”
The showdown will take place at a catch weight of 175 pounds and although a non-title affair will be contested with a possible five rounds.
Griffin (11-2) is the current West Coast Fighting 170-pound champ and former Tachi Palace Fights welterweight kingpin. Nel frattempo, Mitchell (19-5) has held titles for the promotion at middleweight and heavyweight.
“I’m not sure there’s been a more significant fight booked in that region in a long time,” said Luchau, who has served as the West Coast Fighting matchmaker since early 2015. “I really believe that with a victory, one of these guys should get the call.”
In caso di co-main, an equally impressive tilt takes place pitting Sacramento’s Josh Emmett against Sothern California’s Christos Giagos.
“Emmett has been the man in the region for a long, a lungo,” Luchau said of the 8-0 Team Alpha Male product. “He has pretty much run the course of competition in the region, defeated all comers and is now looking to make that jump to the next level.”
He will have to do so against the well-versed Giagos (11-4), who held titles at both Tachi Palace Fights and Resurrection Fighting Alliance, before being cut from the Ultimate Fighting Championship after going 1-2.
“Giagos is a game opponent and was just the what the Emmett camp was looking for to give them that boost to the next level,”Ha detto Luchau. “It’s another fight where I feel like the UFC could be the next step for either guy.”
A pair of local heavyweights will vie for the newly vacant strap, as Josh Appelt (11-5) takes on Roy Boughton (12-6).
A pair of UFC vets will also be featured on the undercard, as Turlock welterweight and UFC vet Lewis Gonzalez (10-2) fights Ty Freeman (9-4) e incisiva, UFC vet Scott Smith (18-10) clashes with Bellator vet Baesman (17-8).

Tickets for the GH3 Promotions event are priced at $25, $50, $75 e 100 e sono disponibili per l'acquisto on-line su www.Ticketmaster.comand over the phone at 1 800 736 1420.
An excellent boxer-puncher and tactician that likes to counter, Lopez won his ShoBox debut in his outing before last with a close, hard-fought 10-round majority decision over previously undefeated, DominicanEliezer Aquino (17-0-1 andare in). Lopez is coming off a second-round TKO over Eric Aiken ultimo Dicembre. 12.
Lopez was born in Phoenix, raised in Los Angeles and moved to San Antonio when he was 15. Andò 125-23 in the amateurs and won six national championships before turning pro in February 2012. He’s trained by former two-time world champion Carlos "Famoso" Hernandez.
Munoz will be making his United States debut and first start outside of Mexico. A pro since September 2010, he’s known for his come-forward style, first-rate overall skills and proficient punching power. Andò 140-10 nei dilettanti, winning three national Junior Olympic tournaments and coming away with bronze and silver medals in national championships.
Munoz, who hails from a fighting family, has an uncle who boxed professionally. He’s the one he credits for introducing him to boxing when he was 13. This will be his first fight since he scored a lopsided eight-round decision over Daniel Franco ultimo Maggio 2.
Ellis upset highly regarded Terrell Gausha to win the 2010 Golden Gloves nazionali (Gausha would go on to represent the U.S. alla 2012 Giochi Olimpici). Since going pro in February 2011, Ellis has fought in two countries (Puerto Rico, Messico) and six U.S. città (San Antonio, Carson, Calif., Winchester, Va., Di New York City, Tulsa and Inglewood, Calif.). The 26-year-old has faced mostly modest opposition and has seldom come close to putting in a full night’s work.
Ellis had had a series of delays and restarts since turning pro but feels he’s grown from his mistakes and that he’ll be stronger because of them. Di sicuro, his power hasn’t been affected. Tutto 10 of his knockouts have come inside two rounds (eight in the first). The older brother of boxer Rashidi Ellis has won four straight by knockout, including a second-round TKO over Jas Phipps in his last start last Agosto. 29. But he seems to be taking a sizeable step-up in class here.
Odom is looking to turn it around after losing two of his last three, the most recent defeat coming via a shocking third-round TKO to Samuel Clarkson (14-3 andare in) su ShoBox. The heavily favored, heavy-hitting Odom was dropped three times, once in the second and twice in the third, before the fight was halted at 1:15.
Odom, un dilettante top e 2012 Campione Nazionale Golden Gloves a 178 libbre, ha avuto una vittoria fine striatura 12-lotta su Jan. 9, 2015, when he was disqualified against Andrew Hernandez. In the rematch the followingMarzo 13 su ShoBox, Odom registered a 2:47, first-round TKO.
Nel suo ShoBox debutto, Odom, who makes for exciting scraps, dropped previously unbeaten Vilier Quinonez (8-0) twice before stopping him in the seventh round on July 25, 2014.
Smith won his ShoBox debut in his last start on a hard-fought, eight-round unanimous decision over Benjamin Whitaker ultimo Novembre. 6 in an outdoor fight in Las Vegas. Fighting in memory of his mother who died in late September and going eight rounds for the first time, the 5-foot-7Smith, overcame a nasty cut over the left eye from an unintentional headbutt in the sixth, rallied to score a knockdown in the seventh and triumphed by the scores of 79-73 e 78-74 due volte.
Prima di diventare professionista ad aprile 2010, Smith was a 2008 National Golden Gloves Featherweight Champion and 2007 Junior campione olimpico nazionale. Il suo 74-2 record in the amateurs included two victories overworld-ranked contender Amir I.
Romero had 268 amateur bouts and represented the Dominican Republic at the Olympics in 2012 (he lost to Vasyl Lomanchenko). Shortly thereafter he relocated to New York. He went pro in October 2013, fought four times in 2014 and five times last year.
A slick 5-foot-9 boxer who can punch and gives opponent issues because of his awkward style and movement, Romero, 24, has beat up on ordinary opposition and is coming off a first-round TKO over LuisMeroles ultimo Dicembre. 5. This looks to be his most daunting assignment to date.
Williams, 24, is a boxer-puncher who’s won seven in a row since boxing a draw in his second start in March 2013. This will be his first fight outside of New York. Making his eight-round debut in his last start onOttobre. 8, he won a shutout decision over Czech Republic’s Michal Dufek.
Favorire, 22, gets a quick-fix opportunity to redeem himself after losing hisShoBox debut on an eight-round unanimous decision to underdog Sam Seah (6-1) sul Novembre. 6 card in Las Vegas.
A highly decorated amateur, the 5-foot-8½ inch Foster advanced to the 2012 U.S. Giochi Qualificazioni olimpiche dove ha perso imbattuto pro prospettiva, Joseph "Jo-Jo" Diaz. Prima di ciò, Foster era un 2011 Houston Golden Gloves e 2010 Campione Nazionale PAL, un cinque volte Campione Nazionale Ringside e due volte Campione Nazionale Junior Golden Gloves.
