Bantamweight Championship 
On July 12, Corey Roska of Straight Blast Gym defeated Damon Wood of Team Quest by split decision. Since that night, Roska has not fought and Wood has had two impressive victories over tough opponents. On September 27, these two will meet again with the stakes higher, the winner becomes the new FCFF Bantamweight Champion.

Lightweight Championship
Two FCFF veterans will battle it out for the FCFF Lightweight Championship as Straight Blast Gym's Hamilton Ash takes on Jason Evola of Reality Combat. Evola once fought for the FCFF Welterweight Championship and has moved down 15 pounds since, to the Lightweight division to hopefully earn his first amateur title. Hamilton Ash is one of the most action packed fighters the FCFF has ever seen and is not afraid to get wild. It will be Ash's constant pressure against Evola's superior technique that decides who leaves as champion in this division.

Welterweight Championship
Jay Shaffer of Xtreme Couture returns a title contender and will take on Chris Standing of SAGA for the FCFF Welterweight Championship. Both fighters are highly skilled and have worked their way up the Welterweight division for this opportunity. Standing, who has been absent from the FCFF for close to a year, jumped at this opportunity to become a Champion. Shaffer, disappointed from his last title bout where he got KO'd by former champion Sean Siefke (late in the third and final round) believes he was winning until the KO, and is hungry to redeem himself with this second opportunity to become champion.

Middleweight Championship
Crae Bassett, a veteran of MMA and the FCFF, finally gets the opportunity to claim the Middleweight Championship. He has to face up-and-coming fighter Doug Steinbach, from a tough fight team: Impact Jiu-Jitsu, to claim the Championship. Both of these fighters are very well rounded and don't have a problem standing toe-to-toe and slugging it out. This could be the fight of the night. Due to Bassett's experience and record, many consider him to be the favorite; but Doug has plenty of people (including himself) seeing him leave "The Slammer" as Champion on September 27th.

Heavyweight Championship
FCFF Heavyweight Champion Daniel Stewart has made it known that following this title defense, if he wins; he plans on starting his pro career. He has a very formidable challenge in front of him as Jeremy Rockholt brings his 6 win and 1 loss record into the Roseland to beat the Champion. Jeremy is a champion himself, holding 2 heavyweight titles in two other organizations. Many heavyweights are afraid of Daniel Stewart, but Jeremy is not one of them. This one could be a slobberknocker!

Light Heavyweight Superfight
Rob Gibbs of Xtreme Couture makes his first appearance at the 205 pound division after competing his first seven bouts at the Heavyweight Division. Rob will fight undefeated Chris Velasquez of Reality Combat for the FCFF Superfight Championship. Velasquez has wrestling background with Marine toughness. This combination has become lethal for Velasquez in the MMA world as his undefeated record indicates. Not only does Chris Velasquez plan on staying undefeated on September 27th, he plans on leaving as Superfight Champion. Rob Gibbs plans on showing the Light Heavyweights of the FCFF that there is a new Sheriff in town! This one is going to be a dandy!
