Vancouver, British Columbia’s premiere mixed martial arts promotion, Battlefield Fight League has not one but two events planned for the month of March.

Battlefield Fight League plans two events for the month of March

BFL President Jay Golshani released the following statement on Wednesday evening.

“We will now be holding two events in the month of March. We need to be able to bring our amateur fighters up the ranks and our new amateur champions in the same manner as we did with our former amateur champions in the past before pro MMA was legal in the lower mainland. This is a very crucial step and it is very similar to the UFC and their structure in bringing up guys and introducing them to their fan base through ‘The Ultimate Fighter’. We will now hold two stacked events in March. On Friday March 14th we will be at the River Rock Casino. This event will consist of mostly professional fights. On Saturday March 29th we will be at the Hard Rock Casino in Coquitlam. This event will be headlined by three amateur fights. We will release full fight cards for both events this Thursday on our website. Tickets will be on sale for both cards this coming Monday through www.bfltix.com.”

One name who will be fighting on the BFL 28 fight card on March 14 is amateur middleweight champion Jer Kornelsen. The rest of the fight card will be released on Thursday.

As previously mentioned BFL 29 will be stacked with three amateur bouts. Achilles Estremadura and Eli Wyse will do battle for the vacant lightweight strap. While Craig Mclean will look to defend his bantamweight gold against Oliver Vajda. Finally Curtis Harriot will take on Bryce Gougeon for the vacant welterweight title.
