For the Main Event at Counter Strike, the only MMA fight of the night, Phil Hunter, fighting out of the Karate Academy, comes back to fight against Matt Dambrogio, a member of Team Top Notch.

Hunter said his training has been going good and he is ready for his fight against Dambrogio.

What does Crabbe, Long, Velasco, Williams, Wright, DeMatteo and Torres all have in common? Their hunger to be champions!!! FCE inked an 8 Man Tournament for the vacant 135lb FCE title with today's up-and-coming talent.  The FCE Bantamweight title was vacated in October of 2008 from one of the most successful fighters in FCE history Lloyd Carter when he decided to excel his career at the Pro-level after dominating fighters in his division.  Carter is now rumored to be fighting for a Web-based reality show but will definitely support the Grand Prix contenders.
