CSU-Pueblo fights for wrestling

Cameron Dollar (UFC Vet) vs. Brett Roller "We are very excited to have these two guys on our card. They are two of the most exciting fighters in the area and used to train together. There is no love lost between the two. Since competing on the Ultimate Fighter and losing his debut in the UFC, Cameron cut down to 145 and is trying to establish himself as a top featherweight and get signed by a bigger promotion. Brett Roller is one of the toughest guys around. He was actually committed to wrestle for CSU-Pueblo coming out of high school after pulling off the biggest upset in Colorado wrestling history. He beat the 4 year undefeated Tom Clum 11-10 in the state finals. The program was dropped soon after his committment and he chose to pursue MMA instead of wrestling. Brett was originally slated to face Alvin Robinson who pulled off the card due to signing with the Bellator Fighting Championships. Brett didn't hesitate when the opportunity of fighting Cameron came up. There is some bad blood between the two that stems from a falling out when they used to train together and Brett wants to settle it in the cage. Brett is one of those guys that will fight anyone, anytime, any place. This fight is going to be fireworks."

Eliot Marshall (UFC Vet) vs. Adriano Camolese (Jiu-Jitsu Black belt, sparring partner for Anderson Silva) "If you ask any fighter how important this fight is to your career, they will tellyou that every fight they have is the most important fight. This statement couldn't be more true for Eliot Marshall. Eliot is going to fight Josh Haynes on the Ring of Fire Aug. 28th and turn around 2 weeks later and take on a very tough Adriano Camolese. Two back to back wins for Eliot will certainly get him back where he wants to be, the UFC. Eliot had a great start to his UFC career where he went 3-0 before losing a close split decision to Vladimir Matuchenko. Eliot is more motivated now than ever to prove to the UFC why he deserves to be there. Adriano Camolese is no slouch. He is 4-0 and carries a black belt in Jiu-Jitsu. He is one of Anderson Silva's sparring partners so he knows what it is like to be in the cage with top level fighters. Being that both of these guys hold Black Belts in Jiu-Jitsu I am very excited to see how this fight transpires."

Donnie Liles (IFL, Strikeforce Vet) vs. Bill Albrecht (Bellator Vet) "Donnie Liles is a veteran of this sport. When he found out that we were raising money for the wrestling and athletic programs for CSU-Pueblo he told me he wanted on the card. He said to find him someone tough and that he would love to help out. He has fought in some top promotions like Strikeforce and the IFL. Finding an opponent that was willing to face a guy like Donnie was not an easy task. Bill Albrecht out of Fit NHB in New Mexico was the guy for the task. He has fought in Bellator twice and is looking for a win over a high level opponent to get back into a bigger show.

Willie Parks (2x National Champion wrestler) vs. Xavier Sacamano "Willie Parks is relatively unkown in MMA. He has had 2 amateur fights and won them both with ease. If you look up his wrestling pedigree you will see why. He was a Junior College and NAIA National Champion. He then went on to wrestle for the ARMY and did very well internationally ranked as high as 7th in the world. Training out of Grudge Training Center you know he will be well prepared. Xavier Saccamano is another guy that is ready to fight anytime. He sports a record of 4-1 and trains out of SOCO MMA. He is very excited for the opportunity to fight in his hometown and will certainly have the hometown advantage as he is a very popular fighter in Pueblo."

Prentice Ingrahm vs. Nick Macias "This is my pick for fight of the night. Prentice is a 6' 0" tall monster and very exciting to watch. Nick Macias is coming off a big win in the Ring of Fire and is looking to continue that streak over a very tough opponent.."
