Emerald Queen Casino
CageSport XI
July 24, 2010

Chanti Johnson vs. Roy Bradshaw
Sarah D'Alelio vs. Melissa Steele

(Tacoma, WA) Brian Halquist Productions brings the Northwest's favorite combative sports event back to the Emerald Queen Casino for CageSport XI on Saturday July 24th, 2010. Doors open at 6 pm, with the first fight beginning at 7 pm. In the Co-main event Olympia's own Sarah "The Monster" D'Alelio (1-0) will face Melissa Steele (0-1) who hails from Long Beach CA. This fight will lead up to an explosive main event that features Chanti "The Brooklyn Knight" Johnson (6-2) and Roy "Precious" Bradshaw (4-2). 

Johnson has compiled a perfect 3-0 record at the Emerald Queen Casino, not allowing a single fight to go all three rounds. Johnson, who has made himself a crowd favorite, comes into the cage ready to fight and has an aggressive style, which gives him an advantage over most of his opponents. His opponent, Roy Bradshaw (4-2) is coming off of 2 submission victories, most recently was a win over previously undefeated fighter John Albert. Bradshaw has won all his professional fights by submission, and may be looking to take this fight to the ground against the striker Johnson.

In one of the featured fights of the evening, Sarah "The Monster" D'Alelio (1-0) will face Melissa Steele (0-1). D'Alelio is a blue belt in Brazilian Jiu Jitsu and holds an impressive 6-1 amateur record. Back at CageSport IX, D'Alelio won her pro debut by submitting fellow MMA fighter Sarah Oriza by guillotine choke in just 29 seconds. Melissa Steele (0-1) also boasts an impressive amateur record of 4-1, both in kickboxing and MMA. Steele will look to get into the win column after losing her pro-debut against Karina Hallinan last January. Both fighters are going into their second professional fight, and will try to make a statement in their young careers.
