Justin The Purple People Eater Greskiewicz will fight Ryan Vaccaro on Friday night’s Ring of Combat XXIX card. Justin is a Muay Thai fighter under the tutelage of Kru Rigel Balsamico and is trains at Daddis Fight Camps in Philly. Justin (who will be the one with purple hair Friday night) recently won, and someone from DFC can please correct me if I’m wrong, the WKA Northeast Lightweight title up in New York City’s Friday Night Fights. From what I’ve heard floating around the internets, Justin is one of the most dangerous Muay Thai fighters coming out of the east coast, so it’ll be exciting to see him ply his trade in the cage.

Sideco Honor, black belt Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu player and 5-1 professional mixed martial artist representing Daddis Fight Camps is currently medically suspended by the NSAC for a brain aneurysm. NJSACB’s doctors have apparently cleared him to fight, but because commissions honor suspensions, Sideco will be unable to compete in tomorrow night’s M-1 Global show in Atlantic City. Sideco has been replaced on the card by Zach Makovski (7-2) out of Philadelphia’s Fight Factory.

The M-1 Global: Selection tournament comes to Bally’s Casino in Atlantic City NJ this weekend. The event, to be held in a ring, will feature 16 fighters competing in the middleweight, welterweight and lightweight tournaments, along with three non-tournament bouts. Locked in the Cage‘s matchmaker Fran Evans served as matchmaker for M-1 and has put together a pretty strong card. This is night one of the international tournament to decide Team America for the 3rd edition of the global team-based competition which plays out less like the World Cup and more like the Champions League. Not the best each country can produce, but good enough to be a great show. The Mid-Atlantic MMA Blog will be in the building, look for live tweets coming to you on fight night.

First, a little review of the weekend. on Saturday, Daddis Fight Camps hosted a UFC 111 viewing party at their Philly gym on the corner of 17th and Washington Sts. There was a strong turn out, and watching the fights on the big screen with people that know what the hell’s going on in the cage is awesome. This may become a regular event, so if your in the city, drop in on Brad’s place and watch some ultimate fighting. On Sunday Brandt from MMA Opinion and I visited The Grindhouse, Jerry Bradley’s gym in Feasterville PA. We were there to do 2 photo shoots, one with the guys from Grindhouse, and one with MAMMA’s girls. Unfortunately, two of the girls decided we weren’t cool enough to hang out with. But we do want to send a lot of love to Sugako who came out and dealt with all our shenanigans for a couple hours. Look for some shots coming to you very soon.

That being said, let’s jump into it.
