Matt Hume's Genesis Fights presented "Coup d'état" on Sept 10th with an evening of 10 amateur bouts of MMA, kickboxing, & a tag team grappling match. Former Genesis Fights champion and current UFC bantamweight #1 contender, Demetrious "Mighty Mouse" Johnson, was in the house and gave away a Microsoft Xbox to a lucky fan. Johnson will be fighting for the UFC 135 lb title October 1st when he takes on current champ Dominick Cruz at UFC Live in Washington DC... Pray4Japan.Org, a nonprofit organization supporting victims of the Japan Earthquake, was also on hand selling shirts and taking donations to support the ongoing disaster relief effort there.

In the main event, Genesis Fights Heavyweight Champion Brent "Mankill" Knopp, fighting out of AMC, successfully defended his title via a unanimous decision over Rude Awakening's Jourdain White.

The co-main event was for the 155 lb title and it was AMC's Anthony Matney scoring an impressive unanimous decision win over Rude Awakening's Neal Anderson. Afterwards, Matney was presented with the belt by former Genesis Fights 155 lb champ and current Strikeforce fighter, Caros "The Future" Fodor.

In a Featherweight Superfight, AMC's Drew "The Eternal Fire" Brokenshire looked sharp throughout in a five-round slugfest with Marcus "Showtime" Enriquez and in the end, all three judges gave it to Brokenshire for the unanimous decision win.
