Davion
Peterson, living in Indianapolis and fighting out of the
Modern Gladiator's Gym was a three time all Big Ten wrestler
while at Purdue. Since turning pro in MMA he has notched
first round victories in several promotions including Integrated
Fighting Classic, Hook and Shoot and USMMA events.
Detroit
based Eddie Sanchez, fighting out of the Gomez Academy,
has received boxing training at the legendary Kronk boxing
gym to complement his wrestling and martial arts background.
Sanchez launched his pro MMA career after winning a Michigan
AAU freestyle wresting championship. His MMA opponents have
included former UFC champions and he brings first and second
round pro wins from the King of the Cage and Tournament
Fighting Championships events.
Peterson
has kept his NCAA skills sharp by working on the coaching
staff of the University of Indianapolis wrestling team.
Peterson, while glad to be fighting for a title is not overly
impressed. It's all just part of his plan. ”Total
Domination is the perfect name for this event because it's
also my game plan,” Peterson said. ”If I win
the title and a boxing contract that's just one more arena
to dominate on my way to the UFC. The good thing will be
exposing boxing fans to the conditioning, training and professionalism
that MMA athletes bring to a match. And when it comes time
to knock on the UFC's door I'll be bringing those new boxing
fans with me, which might make the UFC open that door a
little quicker.”
Tickets
are $20 for ga, reserved are $25-$50, $100 on the cage.
Tickets are available through Ticketmaster and the 8 Second
Saloon ticket office.
