Video interview with Kyle Hannigan above

Art of War Cage Fighting is smashing their way into the spotlight of Pennsylvania MMA with stacked fight cards on back-to-back nights.  AOW President, Mike Bickings deems this All-Star Weekend on April 1st and 2nd as the promotion’s 22nd and 23rd shows.  This will be the second time AOW has hosted back-to-back shows on consecutive days as back in February of 2019, AOW 10 and 11 took place.

The All-Star Weekend will be hosted at the hottest spot in Philly…Live Casino and Hotel, who just recently celebrated their first-year anniversary and will welcome their first mixed martial arts events to their patrons.  Bickings, and matchmaker Jillian Peterson have worked feverishly and put together some amazing fights.  On the first night, April 1st, heavyweight Patrick “the Brick” Brady will stroll to the cage and take on Cesar Guiterrez in the main event.

Tim Sylvester vs Shawn Steffanelli, and Trent Stump vs Will Dill, also headline the professional portion of the card on the first night.

At AOW 23 on Saturday night, Matt Turnbull and his high energy style cap the night off in the main event against Federico Vento IV and there will also be three championship belts on the line.

MyMMANews will be all over these two cards as I will be on commentary with “Korean Thunder” Ryan Kim Cafaro and Eugene “the Suitcase Kid” Aubry.  The legend himself, Eric Kowal, will be in attendance bringing live results and mega-star photographer William McKee will be shooting tons of amazing photos.

Our pre-fight coverage begins with Kyle Hannigan.  Kyle is 1-1 as an amateur fighter and will test himself against Anthony Hewitt.  Hannigan trains out of Grindhouse MMA and Fitness in Feasterville, PA and is coached by Matt Netterville, James Booth, and UFC welterweight stud, Sean Brady. Jerry Bradley also is very valuable as a mentor. Hannigan has a wrestling background but has been training in the arts for several years now.
