MAIN EVENT

UNDERCARD

Cruiserweight Tournament Quarter-Final: Yusuke Kawaguchi (15-5, 2-1 CTC) vs. Dawid Baziak (14-4, 6-2 CTC)

Yusuke Kawaguchi lost to current Cruiserweight Champion Daniel Puder in his CTC debut, but has bounced back since, earning back to back victories by first round submission over Cristiano Kaminishi, and by Unanimous Decision over Joaquim Ferreira! Since losing to Daniel Puder in the Quarter-Finals of the Season 1 Cruiserweight Tournament, Dawid Baziak has won four straight fights, defeating Devin Cole by third round submission, before entering the Sunday Night Fights 14 Cruiserweight Tournament, and earning this tournament spot with victories by first round knock out over Ben Gallant in the Quarter-Finals, first round TKO over Jake Heun in the Semi-Finals, and first round knock out over Mike Hackert in the Finals!

Cruiserweight Tournament Quarter-Final: Pat Barry (8-8, 0-2 CTC) vs. Demico Rogers (3-1, 2-1 CTC)

This could be Pat Barry's final shot to earn a victory in the CTC, as he has opened his career with the organization with two straight unimpressive, uncompetitive losses, being TKOed in just 25 seconds by Ibragim Magomedov in his debut, and losing by first round TKO to Devin Cole in his last fight! Demico Rogers opened his CTC career with a first round submission victory over Martin Desilets, before losing by first round submission to Guram Gugenishvili in the Quarter-Finals of the Season 2 Cruiserweight Tournament, but bounced back quickly, earning a Unanimous Decision victory over Justin McCully in his last fight!

Cruiserweight Tournament Quarter-Final: Mike Ciesnolevicz (21-5, 2-1 CTC) vs. Tyler East (13-7, 2-4 CTC)

Mike Ciesnolevicz opened his CTC career with a first round TKO loss to Ibragim Magomedov, but he is now on a two fight winning streak, with victories by third round submission over Guram Gugenishvili, and first round submission over Gordon Bonnar! Tyler East drops down to Cruiserweight after failing to make an impact at Heavyweight, he is on a two fight losing streak, with losses coming against Konstantin Gluhov, and Levan Razmadze!

Cruiserweight Tournament Quarter-Final: Karl Grove (1-0, 1-0 CTC) vs. Jair Goncalves (11-5, 2-1 CTC)

Devastating Muay Thai striker Karl Grove opened his CTC career with a first round TKO victory over Ben Smith!

PRELIMINARY CARD

Lightweight: Marcus Davis (23-11, 1 NC, 3-2 CTC) vs. Joao Schembri (0-2, 0-2 CTC)

Marcus Davis started out on a good run in the CTC with three straight victories over J.J. Ambrose, Eddie Alvarez, and Paul Sass, he lost to Curt Warburton in the first ever CTC Lightweight Title Fight, and then lost by first round submission to Jacob Volkmann in his last fight! Joao Schembri, a well-rounded mixed martial artist, has yet to put things together in the CTC, losing a Unanimous Decision to Samuel Guillet in his MMA debut, and getting knock out in the first round by Vuyisile Colossa in his last fight!

Bantamweight: Marcos Galvao (14-6-1, 1-1 CTC) vs. Casey Olson (15-7, 1-3 CTC)

Marcos Galvao won a tightly fought Split Decision over Ken Stone in his CTC debut, but lost by first round submission to Masakazu Imanari in the Semi-Finals of the Winter Series Bantamweight Tournament in his last fight! Casey Olson has struggled mightily in the CTC, and this is probably a must win fight for him to keep his job, he opened his career with a Unanimous Decision loss to Antonio Banuelos, then won by first round TKO over Adrian Wooley, but is on a two fight winning streak, with Unanimous Decision losses to Josh Hill, and Jeff Curran!

Womens Lightweight: Joanne Calderwood (8-3, 3-3 CTC) vs. Stephanie Eggink (4-1, CTC Debut)

Joanne Calderwood came into the CTC as one of highest hyped prospects in the division, but has struggled to put it together, losing to high level grapplers Kyoko Takabayashi, and Claudia Gadelha twice, but defeating fellow prospect Seo Hee Ham, and fellow strikers Felice Herrig, and Nicdali-Rivera Calanoc in her last fight! Coming from a boxing background, Stephanie Eggink is an excellent technical boxer, and she has some training on the ground, as two of her four victories have come by submission! She comes to the CTC on a three fight winning streak, with victories coming over Heather Clark, Brianna VanBuren, and Angela Magana!

Welterweight: Karo Parisyan (23-11, 1 NC, 1-1 CTC) vs. Magomed Shikshabekov (8-3, 1-2 CTC)

Coming from a Judo background, Karo Parisyan opened up his CTC career with a first round submission loss to Ryan McGillivray in the Quarter-Finals of the Welterweight Championship Tournament, but bounced back in his third round submission victory over Andrew Buckland! Magomed Shikshabekov opened his CTC career with a first round submission over Matt MacGrath, but has struggled since, losing back to back fights by third round knock out to Dan Hornbuckle, and by first round knock out to Ryan McGillivray!

Womens Heavyweight: Milana Dudieva (7-3, 0-2 CTC) vs. Katherine Appleseed (0-2, 0-2 CTC)

A last chance bout for two highly skilled strikers! Milana Dudieva has lost both her fights in the CTC by first round submission to Cindy Dandois! Katherine Appleseed lost her CTC debut by third round knock out to Chantalle Castellanos, and lost her last fight by first round knock out to Melinda Lawler!

Cruiserweight Bout: Kinney Spotwood (3-3, 1-3 CTC) vs. Ben Gallant (4-5, 2-4 CTC)

Another Bout that will likely end in a cut! Kinney Spotwood beat Martin Desilets by first round TKO, but has since lost back to back fights, losing to Joaquim Ferreira by first round submission, and by Unanimous Decision to Magomed Malikov! Ben Gallant comes into this fight on a two fight losing streak as well, losing to Dawid Baziak by first round knock out in the Quarter-Finals of the Sunday Night Fights 14 Cruiserweight Tournament, and losing by third round knock out to Jae Young Kim in his last fight!
