[Press Release from Gladius]
HAMBURG, New York (Sept. 21, 2012) -- New York
fight fans flocked to Buffalo Wild Wings on Friday night to catch their
first glimpse of the fighters involved in the inaugural fight card for
Gladius Promotions.
Saturday night’s event at the Cattaraugus Sports Complex in Irving,
N.Y., will hopefully be the first of many professional MMA promotions
to fill arenas in the Empire state as Gladius Promotions has its sights
set on becoming the No. 1 supplier of mixed martial arts action in all
of New York.
Veteran fighters Don Carlo-Clauss ( 9-7 TEAM BOMBSQUAD ) and Eddie Fyvie
( 9-5 SPA CITY BJJ ) both showed up on time and made weight for their
main event match up at 155 pounds. The pair has over a decade of
combined experience inside the cage and even though they both reside in
New York, they’ve both almost never competed without crossing state
lines. It’s a striker-versus-grappler showdown that’s sure to keep the
crowd on the edge of its seat.
Co-main event combatants Mike Winters ( 6-2 TEAM BOMBSQUAD ) and T.J. Sumler
( 3-4 WNY MMA ). saw a lot of support from their fans at Buffalo Wild
wings where the official Gladius Fights after party will go down
promptly following the fight card on Saturday evening.
All but four fighters made weight the first time they stepped on
the scale, but each of the four to miss their mark made the proper
adjustments in the hour allotted by the Seneca Nation of Indians
Athletic Commission. Featherweight fighter Matt DiMarcantonio found
losing his fight shorts to be a quick fix and his opponent, Desmond
Green, was able to lose 0.4 pounds by simply taking off his gold chain
and a little jewelry.
Fight night is fast approaching and all the action goes down in less than 24 hours!
