Detroit's Joe Louis Fist

I was going to say it’s another quiet weekend for MMA here in the Mitten State, but I have a feeling that just isn’t going to be accurate. Spartan Caged Combat has a huge event coming up this weekend in Cement City, MI.

There’s been a lot of talk about this show. Promoter Tommy Troyer was recently interviewed on the Rich and Joe show. During the interview, Tommy gives a huge shout out to FightMichigan.com (Thanks Tommy!).

Spartan Caged Combat Championships Presents: Fight for Freedom at Town and Country Sports Center on U.S. 12 in Cement City, MI 49233.

It’s an all day event with a Hot Dog Eating Contest at 2pm, a bikini contest at 4pm, and the doors open for live cagefighting at 6pm.

The cagefights are set to begin at 8pm. The poster also promises Foxy Boxing.

After the fights, there will be a UFC Party (Brock Lesnar vs. Shane Carwin – in case you’ve been living under a rock) at the Artesian Wells (It’s across the parking lot).

There will be live radio coverage by the Rich and Joe show.

And, if that wasn’t enough, UFC fighter James Lee will be there, along with King of the Cage/MTV Bully Beat Down Host Daron Cruickshank, D.A.V. (Disables American Veterans), and Team Darius.

Check out Town and Country for their Stars and Stripes Sale and Specials.

Tickets are $20 each for general admission, $30 each for rows 1 & 2, and $40 each for cageside table seats. Admission is free for the hot dog eating contest and the bikini contest!

The latest news is that the main event will feature Travis Travesty (14-6) and Justin Debarge (12-2) both at 145 lbs.
