Optimus FC starts a New Dawn
09 Jan 2010
Welcome to Optimus Fighting Championship I - The New Dawn.
We are dedicated to bringing professional fighters from all over the globe together to take part in skilful and explosive bouts within the cage.
To coincide with the 16 Man Open Weight Tournament we have a host of quality match ups.
Optimus FC is privileged to host an exciting opening bout which will see Gracie Brazilian Jiu Jitsu practitioner, trainer and UK MMA legend Dave 'Speedy' Elliot taking on the strong and ambitious Steve Douglas fighting out of another Legend of the MMA worlds Ian 'The Machine' Freemans North East based 'Team Machine'.
We are pleased to announce local fighter Scott Rogan will return to his native soil having fought in other parts of the country on the big stage for so long. The man to take on the challenge - Christopher Woolcott who's aim it is to beat the best to reach the top.
Explosive Rob 'Robocop' Mills fighting out of the highly respected Sor Thanikul and Knuckledraggers camp meets well renowned Alnwick School of Boxing and Mixed Martial Arts tough Ryan 'The Bull' Copland.
Our first Headline Heavyweight bout sees Heavy hitter, Powerhouse and Ian 'The Machine' Freeman protégé Darren Towler from 'Team Machine' taking on The All American Wrestler, MMA Legend and UFC Hall of Famer which is Dan 'The Beast' Severn. This may well be the last UK appearance for this Pioneering MMA Veteran before drawing the curtain on a glorious and celebrated career which has spanned decades as he is set to retire from fighting in Professional Mixed Martial Events.
This is Mixed Martial Arts.
This is Optimus Fighting Championship.
