Desert Brawl 28 "Pride" Preview

Press Release from the promoter


Desert Brawl 28 "Pride"
May 17 2008 - Indoor Soccer Center

Doors open at 6 PM, Fights start at 8 PM

Bend, Oregon


Desert Brawl returns to Bend's Indoor Soccer Center with 10 full contact ultimate cage fights. Desert Brawl with its humble beginnings has grown to be one of the premier MMA events in the region. Desert Brawl started in 1999 in Bend, Oregon and has consistently produced local and national champions! Desert Brawl is Oregon's Original MMA Event.

The Main Event features two very game fighters with KO punching power that should give the fans exactly what they're looking for. Desert Brawl champion Derek "Strangler" Jones is stepping back into the cage after an eighteen month layoff due to injuries. A severe bicep injury has kept this Bend native out of action for way too long. "The strangler" Derek Jones has a record of 4-1 and holds the DB Middleweight Belt fighting out of Shawn Jewell's React. Jones will be looking to defend his title from challenger "The Lion" Leo McDonald from Coos Bay, Oregon. McDonald who impressively knocked out his last opponent with precision accuracy will be looking to swing some heavy leather and keep this fight on the feet as these two warriors battle to take the Desert Brawl title to their home town.

The Co main event has two very skilled warriors facing each other. Justin "Freight Train" Fratto with a very impressive record of 7-0 in the cage steps down from his 155lb weight class to battle for the 145lb title that Ryan "Ryful" Fulton is giving up for future endeavors. Fratto who is a Bend native and has an extensive background in boxing and Brazilian Jiu-jitsu will have his hands full with the dangerous 7-2 fighter Will "Headhunter" Hunt from John Day, Oregon. Both of these fighters are highly trained and ready to take the DB title to their hometown . Hunt who is trained by the Redneck Mulitia is known for his KO power and conditioning that could end this fight at anytime. The "Freight Train" Fratto trains at Bend's premier MMA training center Desert Dogs Jiu-jitsu and he will be ready to take on the very tough Hunt for a battle that should keep all of us waiting to see who will emerge as champion!

With a full fight card of highly anticipated fights this event won't be one to miss. Sat May 17 at the Indoor Soccer Center is the stage for Bends premier MMA Event Desert Brawl 28 "Pride". The fights start at 7:30, Doors at 6pm. Tickets can be purchased at National Fitness and at Ranch Records. VIP tables can be purchased by calling the DB info line @ 541-306-0949.
