Ricco Rodriguez vs. Jeff Monson to headline CFC event in England

CombatFC

Combat Fighting Championships (CFC) is putting together a card loaded with former UFC veterans for a show scheduled to take place at the Metro Radio Arena in Newcastle, England, on Saturday, May 17 at 6 p.m. local time.

Former heavyweight champion Ricco Rodriguez will take on former number one heavyweight contender, Jeff Monson, in the main event of the evening.

Former 185-pound contender Terry Martin — who is one a two-fight losing streak — will also take on a former division contender, David Loiseau (who has lost four of his last five matches).

This news more or less confirms that Martin has been released from his UFC contract or has been granted a temporary leave to get his career back on track.

In other action, Melvin Guillard, Travis Wiuff, Brad Imes, Melvin Manhoef and others are also expected to compete on the card.

Karl Woolley, Combat FC’s CEO, had this to say about the developing line up:

“Our matchmakers are dedicated to bringing the fans the fights they want to see and we know they won’t be disappointed with this card. We have athletes, like Ricco Rodriquez, who have beaten some of the top names in MMA including Randy Couture and Andrei Arlovsk. We will continue to support the development of top athletes and competitions and are willing to work with and support companies that are dedicated to quality Mixed Martial Arts.”

Color me interested. Stay tuned for more details.

Tickets are on sale now (from March 19) at BookingsDirect.com.

EliteXC: Exclusive updates on Babalu Sobral and David Loiseau

FiveOuncesOfPain.com has learned through EliteXC Live Events President Gary Shaw that the fight promotion has no immediate interest in former UFC fighter Renato “Babalu” Sobral. Shaw said in no way does he condone what Sobral did at UFC 74 and labeled the act as “egregious.” However, he would not rule out the possibility of having interest in Sobral’s services in the future.

I’ve also had several people ask me in recent weeks about the status of David Loiseau. Loiseau, if you recall, fought on EliteXC’s debut card in February and has not been used by the promotion since. There was some speculation that he had been released but Shaw confirmed to FiveOuncesOfPain.com that the promotion does in fact have plans for Loiseau and there’s a chance he could be appearing in December in England on a Cage Rage card.
