Tuesday, July 19, 2005
(Montreal, Quebec) ? APEX Entertainment Group, Inc is proud to announce new information concerning the September 3rd edition of APEX Championship Fighting "Undisputed" which will be held at The Medley in Montreal.
As previously announced, Ivan ?The Pride of El Salvador? Menjivar will once again be headlining an APEX event, this time against Toronto?s Antonio ?Pato? Carvalho from Team Shah Franco. Menjivar and Carvalho, considered two of the top featherweights in the world, will battle it out for the UNDISPUTED APEX Featherweight Title.
In the co-main event, two of Canada?s top middleweights Stephan ?Rudeboy? Potvin will enter the ring against Fritz ?The Animal? Paul. Potvin has been in the ring with some of the best middleweights in the world and is on the road to his rightful place among the country?s best middleweights. Potvin has been on a roll recently by winning his last two fights against Bill Hill and most recently against UFC Veteran Tyrone Roberts at Freedom Fight 2005. Paul is one of Quebec?s rising stars at Middleweight and has a sparkling record of 6-1-0. Facing a veteran like Potvin will be Paul?s biggest test of his young career, but he is confident in his abilities.
Featured on the card will be the return of Brent Beauparlant (2-1-0) to Quebec. Coming off a tough loss against Brazilian phenom Helio Depp in Jungle Fight, Beauparlant returns in front of his home fans to face tough American Jason Guida (9-7-0) of Gilbert Grappling. As a member of the Canadian National Wrestling team, Beauparlant competed around the world and trained with top teams in Brazil and trained Muay-Thai in Thailand. Now ready to get his MMA career on the fast track, Beauparlant faces the Chicago veteran. Guida has won seven of his last nine fights and has recently moved up to the Light Heavyweight Division with a big win against Ron Faircloth.
Also featured on the card is Quebec Kickboxing star Serge Lafond (2-1-0) of Team Bergeron in Drummondville who will be putting his skills to the test against Carlos Newton prot?g? Wojtek Kaszowski (0-2-0). Lafond is one of Quebec?s most highly regarded kickboxers and intends to show Kaszowski the canvas by devastating KO. Kaszowski has other plans for Lafond who despite training with Newton is primarily a kickboxer. Kaszowski fought a tough fight against Brent Beauparlant in April, but is ready to show the fans in Montreal what he can do in all out stand-up war against Lafond.
One of the most talked about young MMA stars will also be on the card as Claude Patrick (2-1-0) makes his much anticipated return to Montreal to face Team Renzo Gracie member Dante Rivera (2-1-0). Patrick returned to MMA after a long lay off to handily take care of Marcus Celestin in the UGC promotion. With a devastating KO, Patrick cemented himself as a fighter that may be the next rising star from Canada. Rivera comes to the fight with a solid BJJ background and a great team behind him. Rivera is a hard-nosed fighter who loves to brawl and is ready to spoil the return of Patrick.
Brazilian sensation Fabio Holanda (2-3-0), coming of a big win on July 15th will be going head to head with veteran Nuri Shakir (6-10-0) of Team Elite. Holanda is a Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu Black Belt and the BJJ instructor of some of Quebec?s top MMA fighters and is coming into his own as a MMA fighter. Shakir is known as one of the toughest welterweights in the world who will will step into the ring against anyone. Shakir is dropping to 155 pounds for this fight and is expected to be a real force at the lighter weight. This fight is an old school battle of grappler vs. striker which will definitely not go to the judges.
Also scheduled to fight is Martin Grandmont (1-1-0) of Team Bergeron who will be going head to head with Garrett Vernoy (0-0-0) of Toronto. Grandmont is also a professional kickboxer and one of Quebec?s rising stars in that sport. Grandmont will bring his excellent striking skills into the ring against Shah Franco team member Vernoy. Vernoy will be making his MMA debut in this bout but is currently training with one of Canada?s top MMA teams. Known for his never say die attitude, Vernoy will take everything Grandmont will offer and come back for more while dishing some punishment of his own.
Also scheduled to appear are Eric Beaulieu (5-5-0), Rowan Cunningham (0-0-0), Francois Flibotte (3-2-0), Mathieu Legare (0-1-0), Sebastien Vachon (1-0-0), Serge Cloutier (0-0-0) and Sean Ragnitz (0-1-0). Look for other fights to be announced shortly as well.
