Colorado-based Sparta Combat League (SCL) made their first ever stop in Washington State on February 21st, descending upon the Xfinity Arena in Everett WA with a pro/am event dubbed 'AVM WA'. Partial proceeds from the show went directly to benefit local US military veterans in need. Local matchmaker Will Hammond did an excellent job in putting together a stacked card featuring NW fighters, many of whom have served or are currently serving in the military. In the main event, former Strikeforce fighter Cory "The One" Devela submitted Jared Torgeson via 3rd round rear naked choke. In the co-main event, Heavyweight Richard Foster dropped Paul Hoffman with a head kick and finished with strikes on the ground early in the 2nd round. Videos of most of the fights, including all the pro contests, have been uploaded to the SCL Youtube channel at youtube.com/ruthlessmma. More info on the promotion at spartacombatmma.com.
