Tacoma, WA (July 10, 2012) - When Brian Halquist put together "CageSport XX," he followed the same plan that's helped him earn the notation as one of the west coast's top promoters; putting the fans first.
Halquist, along with his reliable staff, worked tirelessly on an exciting fight card slated for Saturday evening at the Emerald Queen Casino in Tacoma, WA.
A limited number of tickets are still available and can be purchased by going to ticketmaster.com or at the Emerald Queen box office.
Headlining the ten-bout event is a three round lightweight battle between Spokane, WA's Sterling Ford, 15-4, and interstate rival James Marohl, 6-1, of Longview. Both fighters are on the cusp of landing a big fight and have been on a hot streak during the last few years, winning 11 of their last 12 fights combined.
Female standouts "Slick" Sally Krumdiak of Bellingham, WA and "Little" Patricia Vidonic will go toe to toe in the highly anticipated three round co-feature. Krumdiak and Medford, OR's Vidonic fought most of the top fighters in and around the strawweight division. Both are regarded as upper echelon fighters and believe a victory will earn them a title shot.
Much like the main bouts, the supporting contests features talented combatants looking to move up the ladder. Unbeaten rising stars Cory Vombaur, Justin Harrington Gustavo Lopez and Shaine Jamie will all look to make waves in separate bouts. Additional matches include Jerome Jones, 4-3, against Byron Sutton, 5-3, along with a battle of unbeaten middleweights when Brent Knopp challenges Darrio Mobley.
"We're putting our best foot forward with this card," said Halquist. "The CageSport staff did a great job of making this exciting event a reality and I consider it extremely important for every fight to be one that the fans want to see. If you live in the Pacific Northwest, I'd definitely come out for fight night because you're in for a real treat of incredible MMA fights!"
Former world champion, Female Fighter of the Year and CageSport veteran Miesha Tate is going to be at the fights as the evening's special guest. A Tacoma native, Tate will be available for a meet and greet, photo ops and autographs throughout the evening for all ticketholders.
