The Professional Fights
170 Pro: John Bartlett (503 WCJJ) vs. Ryan Walker (Rose City FC)
This Welterweight Professional fight has "Fight of the Night" written all over it. John Bartlett, the FCFF's former amateur Middleweight Champion returns as a new pro to the slammer to face Ryan Walker. Walker has vastly improved and has rounded out his skills at Rose City Fight Club. His pro record sits at 2-1 with the momentum of back-to-back pro wins on his resume. He recently beat William Hunt via a round one submission choke and Justin Milani via a submission neck crank in round two. Bartlett's first pro win was earned in 2013 at "Prime Fighting 1" over Chaz Jordan via judges decision.

145 Pro: Justin Mark (Impact JJ) vs. Ricky Simon (Rose City FC)
FCFF fight fans should immediately recognize these two names as both were "crowd favorite" fighters in their amateur careers within the FCFF. They both return as pros on Saturday, January 24th. Justin Mark was the FCFF's three time 145-pound Featherweight Champion with the majority of his Title victories coming via crowd pleasing submissions. Mark is very eager, as his pro debut fight was an upsetting loss; he's hungry and determined as ever. Mark will face, Ricky Simon who was undefeated as a amateur fighter (with a record of 7-0) and is undefeated as a pro with a 3-0 record. Simon is on a roll with three consecutive professional wins over John Martinez, Kendell Ward and Alex Eastman - all of which were TKO victories coming in round one.

The FCFF Championship Fights
170 Title:  Bryan Nuro (Impact JJ) vs. Chris “Minoskill” Evans (LaGrande, OR)

He will return in a new weight division to fight for the 170-pound FCFF welterweight Title. Nuro first became an FCFF Champion at Rumble @ The Roseland 70 in March of 2013. He defended his belt two additional times at "Battle at the Mountain" and at "Rumble @ The Roseland 76." On Saturday, January 24th he'll face Chris Evans and get the opportunity to regain his Title as Champion. 

145 Title:  Kody Hammond (Head Gear MMA) vs. Dave Robison (Gladiator)
