Top Names, UFC Vet, Square Off in Four Man Tournament to Determine Last Man Standing in MCC 20
Des Moines, IA- March 18, 2009- In a return to a competition steeped in MMA roots and tradition, MCC fans will witness a four man tournament, with only one fighter emerging victorious. MCC 20: Last Man Standing, returns to the Val Air Ballroom on Friday, April 17.
Tom Ahrens goes against UFC vet Ryan Roberts and Will Shutt and Josh Atwell come together in a rubber match to settle the score. The winners of those matches meet again that night in a featherweight tournament that will unquestionably determine the dominant man that night. "Tournaments like this were more prevalent earlier in the evolution of MMA, when there weren't as many qualified competitors as there are today," provided MCC matchmaker Ryan Hass. " It's great to employ an element that has contributed so much to creating incredible fighters. As conditioned as pro MMA fighters have become, it's hard to imagine what it takes to compete twice in one night. The fans had better be prepared as well. This is going to be one wild ride," Hass completed.
In total, fans will see ten action packed bouts including Jesse Lund vs. Chad Vance, Mike "Mini Van" Van Meer vs. Jake Pudenz, and fights featuring Miguel "El Ray" Rios, Shawn McDermott, Mike Miller, and Alivonta Turner.
MCC 20: Last Man Standing, comes fast on the heels of the highly successful MCC 19: The Return, where Joe Brammer not only returned to MCC, he took home the belt. Fans at MCC 20 can look forward to the same giant video screen that debuted at MCC 19, as well as the wealth of products and services offered at the new MCC Merchandise Mall.
