After starting with 8 of the top 140lb professional muaythai fighters in North America, the field has been narrowed to two! In an all Canadian final, Toronto's Matt Embree takes on Josh Palmer of Halifax. Both fighters have been very active in 2011 and are looking to get their hands on the $10 000 winner's fight purse! As an extra incentive the bout will be for the vacant WMC North American Title, the first ever North American WMC belt awarded!
This event will also feature hometown athlete "Nasty" Nate Smandych against Mark Deluca. These accomplished athletes battled once before as amateurs with Smandych winning. Deluca looks to even the score as a professional!
Regular Fight of the Night winner Jessica "Thumper" Gladstone steps into the ring bringing her nonstop, action packed style to the fans. "Shotgun" Sean McKinnon and Billy "Kung Fu Panda" Kim round out 5 professional bouts!
