We talked about the toughest aspects of putting together a fight card. Perez explained his procedure to matching up two fighters.

He also announced a fourth title bout for the Feb. 27th ACC 14 show at Queens Theater at Flushing Meadow Park. A light heavyweight bout between  Ken Sweeney and Damilola Ojo Powerson.

  • Director of U.S.M.T.A, Ed Kinner, Called into inform fighters about a promotion lying about being sanctioned-

Ed Kinner called into our show to get import information off his chest. When he called in, he informed us that a promotion had a fight over the weekend, and accused them of lying about being sanctioned by U.S.M.T.A. – Kinner informed us, this is the third show they have had and that they have not been sanctioned and therefore the fighters on the card are not insured.

  • King of the Cage Fighter Heather Bassett talked about her upcoming bout- 

Heather Bassett of Unified Martial Arts is set to step inside the cage again on Feb. 20th. Bassett is looking to string two victories in a row and use this victory to boost her to a 4-2 professional record. A win could launch her to the next level in her career.
