CORONA DEL MAR, Calif.,
Feb. 8, 2012 /PRNewswire/ --
ActionView International, Inc. (OTC: AVEW) today announced that its
premium mixed martial arts brand, WCFC, will hold Last Man Standing
III on May 11, 2012 in Salt Lake
City. As with the previous Last Man Standing events, this
will be a tournament style competition where the winner will face
multiple opponents in a single night. Last Man Standing III will feature top welterweight
professional fighters from the western United States in one-round, single elimination
mixed martial arts combat.
On January 20th, 2012,
WCFC held Last Man Standing II which featured a welterweight (170
pound) tournament that was won by newcomer Benjamin Smith, who made his pro debut fighting
out of Extreme Couture in Las Vegas. Smith won by defeating
three opponents including Ultimate Fighter alums Brandon Melendez and Kyacey Uscola. In the
heavyweight class, Tyler "The Beast" East handily won a unanimous
decision against Brazilian judo champion and Olympic fighter
Rodrigo Artilheiro before scoring an impressive knockout of former
UFC fighter Fabiano Scherner in the
finals.
Joe Wooten, CEO and President of
ActionView, discussed the upcoming event, "We are excited beyond
words with the quality of the participants in our previous Last Man
Standing tournaments. The fans have loved the shows and
the fighters are begging us to come back and do it again. We
plan on holding two Last Man Standing tournaments in all three
weight classes, 155, 170 and 265 pounds, so that the respective
winners can meet in a Last Man Standing Night of Champions event
this summer to determine the WCFC Belt Champion for each of the
series weight divisions. On May
11th, we will hold our second welterweight 8-man
tournament in Salt Lake City, with
several fighters already committed."
