World Extreme Fighting

Friday, May 20th, 2005 at 8:00PM
Cox Pavilion, Las Vegas NV
Produced by Jamie Levine and Johnny Walls

World Extreme Fighting storms into Las Vegas next Friday, May 20th with a solid fight card featuring excellent main event fights and sporting several UFC veterans.

The headline match is a battle for the WEF Heavyweight title belt between 2 brawlers in Brandon Lee Hinkle and Tom Sauer. Both fighters have won the Light Heavyweight belt (Hinkle in Reality Superfighting and Sauer in the WEF), and now they move up a weight class to collide in the heavyweight division. Both of these athletes are experts at dishing out pain. Who will leave the cage the champion?

The other main event will feature former WEF promoter Jamie Levine against Ohio fighter Marty Helwig. The infamous Levine has noticeably trimmed down and is in great shape for his fight in the Sin City. Helwig has been training for this matchup for over a year and can't wait until the cage door slams behind him and Levine.

Outstanding Superheavyweight fighter and American Top Team member Jeff Monson is also featured on the card. Monson has been on a tear recently winning both fighting and grappling matches at home and overseas. Marvin Eastman is an exciting fighter who comes to bang. Marvin sports some impressive wins over MMA stars like Vernon White, Quinton Jackson and Alex Stiebling. Eastman's career includes fights in the UFC, WFA and multiple wins in KOTC. The cage will rumble when these two superheavyweights do battle!

An awesome undercard is also on slate featuring exciting New Blood along with seasoned MMA veterans!
