Midwest Combat Challenge 8 Fights Announced
The NAAFS is returning to Chapparell's in Akron, OH for the second time in as many months on Saturday May 23rd for Midwest Combat Challenge 8. Originally slated to take place at 356 Fighter Group, zoning issues with the Akron Canton Airport have forced a change in venue and this show will now be taking place at Chapparell's in Akron, OH. This event promises to be another exciting night of NAAFS action, just weeks before the highly anticipated Fight Nite in the Flats V fight card.
The confirmed main event will be a National Amateur Light Heavyweight division fight pitting Edwin Cruz (2-1) of Rising Dragon Fight Team against Instigator Fight Team's Larry Shuck (5-1). Although he has competed previously in the Heavyweight division, Shuck now makes the move to Light Heavyweight division looking to make his mark. Cruz enter this fight looking to establish himself as the man to beat and will no doubt be ready for battle, especially training under the likes of Tiawon Howard at Rising Dragon who is preparing for his main event fight against Forrest Petz at Fight Nite in the Flats V.
One of the most colorful fighters in the National Amateur Featherweight division returns to action when Aaron "Hamburglar" Bartow (3-0) of Instigator Fight Team returns to action against Akron's own Ben "The Slayer" Sayer (3-1) of Pain Headquarters. The winner of this fight will put himself into the mix of what is quickly becoming a very crowded National Amateur Featherweight division.
