XCF ONLINE PAY PER VIEW TO AID INJURED MMA FIGHTER

With the excitement of the Dyna-Pep Rumble In Race Town being only days away, Xtreme Cagefighting Federation has answered the requests of MMA fans throughout the country, by broadcasting this historic event live with streaming video on Saturday, February 14th at 7:30pm.

FightZone TV is pleased to support the event and worthy cause as FightZone’s Jay Adams will be there to bring fight fans all of the cageside commentary..

“Not only do we want to offer the opportunity for everyone to see this event, but more importantly, Xtreme Cagefighting Federation wants to help raise money for Corey Hill, by providing him with a percentage of the streaming video proceeds.” says Doug Bland, Founder of Xtreme Cagefighting Federation.

Corey Hill who fights out of Rob Kahn’s Gracie Tampa stable, was a junior college national wrestling champion and is considered one of the top up and coming fighters in his division. Hill broke his leg in what many are calling one of the most gruesome sites in MMA history. Hills injury took place in December while fighting on a national televised event for the UFC®.

“This is awesome; I can’t believe the folks at XCF are putting something like this together for me. The doctors say I could be out for 12-18 months so any kind of money coming in is going to be a huge help for me and my family.” says Corey. Rob Kahn, Hill’s trainer / manager also commented, “It has been an incredible experience dealing with XCF on the Daytona event, I can’t get over the generosity and professionalism the Bland brothers have shown in the promotion of this event.”

Fans will be able to access the live video stream at the XCF website by logging onto www.xcfmma.com. The cost to view the live event is $9.95 and can be paid with by Visa®, MasterCard® or PayPal®.

“Xtreme Cagefighting Federation has the deepest appreciation for all MMA fighters. It doesn’t matter what organization you are part of or what school you train with, at the end of the day, we all need to better this sport by helping to support each other.” said Bland.

Scheduled to fight on the card are former UFC® fighter’s Frank Trigg, Terry Martin, Jesse Taylor and Jeremy May. Also competing is former All-Pro Tampa Bay Buccaneers Defensive End, Marcus Jones and Daytona residents Todd Cutler and Byron Byrd.

Last nights Fight For The Troops event had some devastating looking injuries, most notably Corey Hill. The UFC reports that Corey underwent surgery for a broken leg Thursday morning in Fayetteville, North Carolina. The injury was sustained in the second round of his fight versus Dale Hartt on Wednesday night at the Crown Coliseum. He is expected to be out of action for a year to 18 months. He is said to be handling the injury well and is in good spirits a day after suffering the gnarly shin-break. I like Corey Hill, and hope he rebounds quickly.

But.. I’ve got to LOL @ Razaak Al-Homeboy for not tapping to that damn armbar. I thought Al-Hassan said he was good on the ground? He honestly looked like he’s never trained any grappling in his life. I don’t feel bad for pro fighters who refuse to tap. Thankfully, it sounds as though he will be OK. He was treated for a dislocated elbow and released from the hospital.

In other injury updates from the December 10th event, light heavyweight Razaak Al-Hassan was treated and released from the hospital last night after suffering a dislocated right elbow in a submission loss to Steve Cantwell, and welterweights Yoshiyuki Yoshida and Jonathan Goulet were both treated and released for concussions after KO losses to Josh Koscheck and Mike Swick, respectively. Goulet will also have his knee checked out when he returns to his native Canada.

First off, you should go to www.FightForTheTroops.com and donate something to the cause. This was a fantastic event with some awesome finishes and great fights.

Joe Rogan said Jim Miller is a freight train (aka Frate Trane?). Jim Miller definitely looked good, but how about Wiman’s chin? Holy crap that dude takes a punch.

Nate Loughran was taking some good shots from Tim Credeur too, but failed to answer the bell for round three.

OMG @ Razak Al-Hassan getting his arm torqued by Steve Cantwell. That looked nasty, I wanna see a .GIF… also, LOL @ putting a dude with an Al-Quaeda name in a “Fight For The Troops” show.

Damn, there have really been some good fights tonight, and some great finishes. Jonathan Goulet got mess up by that right hand, and Mike Swick adds another quick victory to his resume.

BRUTALITY Ben Saunders with those knees! Homeboy he was fighting, Brandon Wolff, didn’t have a chance once he ended up in that muay thai clinch.

And for the worst thing of the night, poor Corey Hill got his leg broke off. Gnarly gnarly gnarly. My thoughts are with him and I really hope he heals from that injury 100% and is able to fight again. That leg break is a limb-threatening injury.

and my picks to win are:

Yoshida by submission
Swick by TKO
Steve Cantwell by KO
Tim Credeur vs. Nate Loughran – possible fight of the night? both seem to have nice submission skills. I’ll pick Credeur because I’ve seen more of his fights, thanks to the reality show.
Matt Wiman vs. Jim Miller – another possibly great matchup. I’m picking Wiman to win.
Luigi Fioravanti
Ben Saunders by JKD
Corey Hill by being 6’4″ and 155lbs.
