Alrighty people, thought i would update all aussie sherdoggians about the local scene.
Firstly i have started a MMA Australia calendar here:
http://www.infinitemma.com/theforum/...ic,6105.0.html
KOTC held a show in Sydney which was very very poorly advertised and a few days before the event i only knew of one matchup and that was a muay thai bout between JWP's wife Angie and Karen Lynch from New Zealand. Angie won via unanimous decision. James Te Huna was victorious over veteran MMA fighter Dave Frendin in a notable MMA matchup. Tony Bonello did not compete.
Got a few massive weeks coming up. XFC is on October 13 and will feature Kyle Noke taking on Frank Shamrocks assistant coach Brian Erbersole from USA. Gonna be a great matchup. Also on the card is the debut of Judo Olympian Ferrid Kheder. The following day, most mma fans will drive an hour up a mountain for King Of the Mountain. The major matchup of this event will be Jacob Sidic who is 18 years old taking on Adrian Pang for the Spartan under 65 Australian title. Adrian wants to add the spartan title to his already Warriors Realm title. Gonna be a corker.
Adrian also has a matchup against Taiyo Nakahara in late November in his Japanese debut. The deal came across as Warriors Realm recently signed to part of the World Wide Cage Network which has some of the best promotions around the world sharing fighters. Will be good to see Aussies flying overseas and having fighters fly in to take on our best.
Also shceduled to fight overseas in October is Ian Schaffa rumoured to be taking on Miyata on Heroes. George Sotiropolous will be participaint in Shooto and Big Jim will fight on a Mars promotion.
Goodluck to all.
