TITLES ON THE LINE: PLUS THE RETURN OF AARON RILEY!!!

Headlining the event are a pair of HOOKnSHOOT Championship bouts that promise to be spectacular. On track for the Light Heavyweight title is up and coming Curtis Stout, who is coming off of a brutal KO victory in his last HOOKnSHOOT performance. He is contesting for the belt against champion John "The Saint" Renken. Renken is a mainstay in the Midwest scene and is one of the most experienced fighters in the game. This will be a match of striking prowess and athleticism vs. ring savvy andsubmission faculity.

If that wasn’t enough, young gun Yves Edwards and Aaron Riley are scheduled to square off in the Main Event for the HOOKnSHOOT Middleweight title. This is a highly anticipated match, because the champion Riley is returning to HOOKnSHOOT to defend his title for the first time in nearly one year. One of HnS brightest stars, Riley has been training at AMC Pankration ever since, and should come back with more polished skills. There is also the history between these two men. Yves Edwards needs no introduction to the Evansville crowd, as he has eanred numerous victories in impressive style in Evansville. Yves also defeated Aaron at HOOKnSHOOT "Texas Heat" for the Submission-Fighting title that Aaron held at the time (October 1999). Looking for smoking guns as both of these men like to bang with both barrels, Riley looking for a little revenge, and Edwards looking to add another belt to his collection.

The event will showcase 8 other exciting bouts leading up to these feature matches. Included in this the "Battle of Spaniards", which is expected to be one of the most highly skilled matches in HnS history, AMC Pankration student and native of Chile, Ivan Salaverri, will face-off against Manuel Garcia from Austrias, Spain. Garcia is an Abu Dhabi 2000 veteran, and has extensive Vale Tudo training with the Ruas Vale Tudo Team. He hold Vale Tudo titles in every weight class in Spain and is looking to test himself internationally – and HOOKnSHOOT is the place!

"We will be back on September 29^th as well" concludes Osborne, "but we are eagerly anticipating SHOWDOWN first".
