MMA Returns To Fairfax April 25th!

DC’s Mike Easton to Defend UWC Bantamweight Title against Josh Ferguson

In just over one year, mixed martial arts (MMA) fighters from the nation’s top MMA teams have come to the Washington, D.C. Capital Region to battle top local competitors at Ultimate Warrior Challenge (UWC) shows. Leading the local charge will be dynamic bantamweight Mike “The Hulk” Easton (7-1), who captured the first UWC World Championship in front of the region’s largest pro MMA crowd at UWC – Man “O” War last month. He will defend his 135-pound title against another hot, out-of-town prospect, Josh “Taz” Ferguson (6-1), in the evening’s Main Event.

Rising regional stars expected to dole out their own form of ‘Capital Punishment’ on April 25th will be Kris “Savage” McCray (Woodbridge, VA) from Gold Medal Grappling and Easton’s Lloyd Irvin Martial Arts teammates Ron “The Choir Boy” Stallings (Baltimore, MD), Reshad Woods (Manassas, VA) and Jose “The Pistol” Villarisco (Arlington, VA).

UWC shows have become a staple of the Washington, D.C. sports culture, attracting mainstream celebrities like Alex Ovechkin, Donald Brashear, Mike Green and Nicklas Backstrom from the Washington Capitals, Washington Redskins tight end Chris Cooley, and ESPN’s Tony Reali, among many others.

Fans can expect the same level of explosive cage fights, first-class production and crowd-pleasing environment as the UWC continues to provide the national capital region with the highest level of competition seen on the east coast.

Tickets available at all Ticketmaster outlets and Ticketmsater.com with general admission prices set at $35, $58.50, $78.50 and $128.50. A limited number of Ultimate VIP (UVIP) and VIP packages ($500 and $250) are available, which include cage side seating, UVIP fight night pre-party, UVIP event lanyard, special guest fighter meet and greets, UVIP suite access, full food and beverage service and more.
