It was just announced today that the co-main event at UWC: Man "O" War on February 21st at the Patriot Center at GMU will be a Bantamweight (135lbs) title bout between Mike Easton and Chase Beebe for the UWC Bantamweight Belt. Mike Easton is a local guy who fighting out of Temple Hills, MD and is 2-0 in the UWC and has a 6-1 career record. Chase Beebe is the big story here. Beebe is a former WEC Bantamweight Champion which is basically the equivalent of being UFC champion for 135'ers and is currently the #10 ranked Bantamweight in the world by Sherdog.com. **This is definitely the biggest MMA fight ever in the DC area and is going to really legitimize the UWC on a national level.
Ultimate Warrior Challenge (UWC) is owned and run by Marcello Foran whose brother was a standout wrestler at Dematha in the early 90's and currently fights in the UWC.
Hopefully the additional media attention that this fight is getting will discourage Mike Easton from wearing briefs/a speedo in this fight...
