Planet Ink Studios and Wreck MMA are proud to announce new fights for the upcoming
WRECK MMA: FIGHTS FOR THE TROOPS on December 12th, 2009.
In the co-main event of the evening Mark ‘Boots’ Holst returns home to Gatineau to
fight one of the top lightweights in Canada, Guillaume ‘Il Toro’ De Lorenzi. De
Lorenzi is undefeated since moving down to the lightweight division but Holst is his
biggest challenge to date. Fireworks are expected between two of the most exciting
lightweights in Canada and the winner could be taking the next step to making an
impact internationally.
After an impressive showing in his last bout, Mitch Gagnon steps back into the
Robert Guertin Arena to face Stephane Bernadel. Both fighters come in with an
identical 4-1 record, but with vastly different styles. Bernadel is one of the
slickest stand-up fighters in the division and Gagnon comes with a devastating
ground and pound to go with a top notch submission game. As is the case for most MMA
bouts, the fighter who can dictate where the fight ends up, is who will likely
become victorious.
Also added to the card is Pembroke’s Chris Myra vs. Ottawa’s Xavier Desrochers in a
bantamweight bout. Myra’s last fight was a much publicized win versus Robin Black
and Desrochers comes in with a perfect record of 2-0.
WRECK MMA: FIGHTS FOR THE TROOPS is shaping up to be the most talent rich event in
Gatineau/Ottawa MMA history. In addition to the fights listed above, the card also
includes the main event of Fabio Holanda vs. Sean ‘The Pimp’ Pierson and the first
Gracie to fight in Eastern Canada; Igor Gracie. Add in the Ottawa region’s own
Louis-Philippe Carle, Nick Denis, Josee Aupry and Anna Barone and this card is
stacked from top to bottom. Tickets for this star studded event are available at
TICKETMASTER.CA or by calling (613) 755-1111. Buy your tickets now to assure yourself a spot for the one show you do not want to miss!!
