From the event’s promoter:  IFC WORLD TOUR WORLD SUPERHEAVYHEAVYWEIGHT TITLE ON THE LINE IN BATTLE OF THE UNDEFEATEDS Classic matchup pits a grappler against a striker! Two huge experienced warriors collide in the center of the 24 foot steel cage on September 30th at IFC BATTLEGROUND 2000 when Canada’s "Bad" Brad Gabriel meets "Giant" Gan McGee for the World Super Heavyweight Championship. Both men are undefeated in extreme mixed martial arts fighting where just about anything goes. These two goliaths will try to punch, kick, choke, and throw each other into submission or unconsciousness. Gan, the current World Champion outweighs the smaller Gabriel by nearly 60 pounds. This is one of those battles that will help decide the age old question about which fighting discipline is best – the punching knockout artist or the wrestler. McGee is a world class wrestler while the heavy handed Gabriel has beaten the stuffing out of just about everything that’s crossed his path. Gan McGee is known as "The Giant," and for good reason. He stands 6’10" and weighs 305 lbs. But it is not just McGee’s size that has propelled him to world championship fame, it is his incredible quickness and athletic ability. McGee is a former NCAA Division I wrestler who won the California State Wrestling Championships in 1999. He has put that wrestling experience to good use in Mixed Martial Arts by taking down every opponent he has faced, and forcing them to submit to his massive "ground and pound" attack. McGee looks to extend his winning streak when he puts his title on the line against Brad Gabriel, a Tae Kwon Do and Kickboxing expert who is known for his devastating knock out power. "I know that Gabriel is good at stand up, and is a tough fighter," said McGee. "But I am training like I always do – hard." A member of the Mohawk Nation, Brad Gabriel is an international Tae Kwon Do competitor who has stepped out of the ranks of that sport and into the spotlight in Mixed Martial Arts. Gabriel, who represented Canada in Tae Kwon Do at the Goodwill games in St. Petersburg, Russia, in 1994, also racked up an impressive record in boxing and kickboxing before he got his first opportunity in Mixed Martial Arts. "Mixed Martial Arts was an opportunity that was presented to me, I liked the sport, I am a warrior, so I went for it," said Gabriel. "Went for it," may be an understatement. At the International Fighting Championship ("IFC") show last January, Gabriel showed the crowd an incredible display of punching power in beating Mixed Martial Arts Veteran and pro boxer and champion kickboxer Kevin Rozier by devastating knock out in the first round. Gabriel, who is 6 feet, 245 lbs., will need every bit of that power as he takes on the 6′ 10", 305 lbs., Gan McGee for the IFC United Super Heavyweight World championship. "I know that Gan is really big, but this is the biggest fight of my life and I’ve hit big guys before," said Gabriel. We’ll find whether it’s the striker or the grappler on Saturday, September 30th at IFC BATTLEGROUND 2000 at the Tropicana Casino and Resort in Atlantic City. Tickets are on sale at all Ticketmaster locations or by calling 1-800-736-1420. It’s the IFC, it’s in Atlantic City and it’s real! For further event information please see IFC-USA. com or contact: D.
