LEGENDARY BUTTERBEAN HEADLINES WEEKEND OF MMA AT EMERALD BALLROOM!
This Friday and Saturday, March 5 and 6, at the Emerald Ballroom in Mt Clemens, Michigan, Greg Ahrens’ TMS Fight Night will present Xtreme Cagefighting Championship’s “Beat Down at the Ballroom 8 and 9” — two spectacular nights of elite mixed martial arts.
This spectacular event is presented in association with Matt Flynn of the XCC, Greg Ahrens of UCF Cage Combat and Carlos Llinas of CLIP Boxing.
The highlight of the weekend will be Saturday’s professional main event when none other than world-famous Eric “Butterbean” Esch will go for the XCC Super Heavyweight Championship against the XCC’s current champ Jeff “The Predator” Kugel of Roseville.
“Most people know Butterbean for his boxing, for being 400 lbs and the ‘King of the Four Rounders’ title he holds. But he’s also an accomplished mixed martial artist,” explained Flynn. “He’s fought in K-1 and in Pride and done extremely well. And his opponent, Jeff Kugel stands 6” 7” tall and was an All-State wrestler and Golden Glove boxer . He’s a bad boy who is suspended for life from the Ontario Hockey League. This is going to be a sensational battle for the fans coming out Saturday night. You know what you get with Butterbean – Jeff Kujel is the same kind of guy. This is going to be a stand-up war between two super heavyweight destroyers and someone is going down.”
On Friday night, March 5, The Emerald Ballroom will be rocking as the State’s top amateur fighters take to the cage for “Beat Down at the Ballroom 8”.
14 fights are scheduled. In the main event Steve Gatto of Shelby Township will face Marcelo Solinas of Sarnia, Ontario, for the title XCC Middleweight Championship vacated by Caleb Grummet (Grummet is now a professional and will fight on Saturday night). Also, XCC Heavyweight champion Carnell Giles will be making his third title defense.
And then on Saturday, March 6, just the second professionally sanctioned MMA event in the state’s history will take place (Flynn and Ahrens also did the first last January), topped by the Butterbean main event and supported by a roll-call of fighters who make up the area’s best, including Miquel Barcelo, Brett Biederman, Chris Bourdon, Parris Boyd, Brad Burrick, Daron Cruickshank, Jeremy Czarnecki, Anthony Gott, Jesse Gross, Caleb Grummet, Bo Harris, Chris Harris, David Herlein, Dan Langbeen, Ray Lopez, Chucky Mady, Steve Milliron, Ali Mokdad, William Penn, Calvin O’Neil, Mike Roberts, Anthony Smith, Michael Sparks, Harley Wallen, Dan Whetsel and TJ Yakuber.
Flynn and his XCC, whose mixed martial arts career began at the very same Emerald Ballroom, says he’s excited about the atmosphere surrounding the weekend. “The fans lucky enough to get a ticket for either night are guaranteed a night of non-stop action – and the best part is it’s where it all started for the XCC right here in the Ballroom.”
