From the event’s promoter: Warrior’s Challenge XI Mixed Martial Arts fight fans – get ready! January 13, 2001 is the date the IFC is bringing what may be the best card the West Coast has ever seen to the Table Mountain Casino outside Fresno, California, for its Warrior’s Challenge XI. The card, which features an amazing six championship fights, two Superfights and a lightweight tournament, is remarkable not only for the sheer number of title fights, but also for the quality of fighters in them. In the main event, Brazilian jiu jitsu champion Marcos Da Silva challenges undefeated IFC Light Heavyweight champion of the Americas David Terrell for his title. Terrell, a college wrestler and Brazilian jiu jitsu purple belt under Cesar Gracie is sure to be tested by the master Brazilian grappler. The undefeated Gil Castillo, a Cesar Gracie purple belt, will be pushed to the limit in a lightweight super fight against Brazilian Wander Braga, who was victorious in his recent superifht at the Grappling Pro-Am in South Carolina. Floyd Sword, a Warrior’s Challenge tournament winner, will be fighting for the vacant U.S. Heavyweight title against Bobby Southworth, a tough kick boxer who was victorious in the IFC’s Extreme Combat stand-up show. The smooth Sword will have to be at his best if he hopes to defeat Southworh, who was been working on his grappling with Frank Shamrock. The excitement does not stop there as Shonie Carter, the UFC veteran and #1 ranked middleweight in Pancrase challenges IFC America’s Middle Weight champion Martin Armendarez for the belt. Plus, Robert "The Prince of Leg Locks" Ferguson steps back into the ring against IFC U.S. Middleweight Champion Ronald "The Machinegun" Jhun in what is guaranteed to be an action packed title match. If that is not enough, Antonio McKee is going to defend his IFC U.S. Lightweight championship fight against a fighter to be named later. Travis Fulton will also be making his return to the IFC, and will be featured along with an IFC U.S. Bantamweight Championship fight between Philip Perez and Kurt Marble. Throw in the four-man lightweight tournament, and it’s clear that Warrior’s Challenge XI will be show no fan can afford to miss!
