VICTORY veteran and Minnesota native Zach Wolfe is set to drop down a weight class for VFC 30, down from the 145lb belt he currently holds in the VFC, down to the newly created 135lb Bantamweight class. The 135lb class is a more natural weight for Zach and he is “stoked” to return to the VFC and fight for another belt. Zach is always a crowd pleaser and is know for his interesting hair cuts and vicious striking ability. He will be taking on Last Min replacement Nick Mamalis. Both Bantamweights are brawlers and both are sure to bring every thing they have got to the VICTORY cage on Friday – February 5th for VFC 30.

He is back! Abe Wagner is returning to the VFC cage after nearly a year hiatus to take on Travis “Da Hawaiian Assassin” Browne. Abe Wagner is no stranger to VICTORY fans as he has been in the VICTORY cage several times and has managed to earn a 7-2 professional record. Abe is coming off of a once-in-a-lifetime appearance on the UFC’s Utlimate Fighter reality show. Along with rooming with Kimbo Slice, Abe lived and trained with some of the very best heavyweights in the country. He is bringing his new skills back to the VFC to take on a tough young up and coming heavyweight from California, Travis Browne. Browne fought six times in 2009 alone and has compiled an impressive 7-0 professional record. Brown’s wins include two TKO’s in under a minute and a submission victory in just 55 seconds. One of his most recent victories was a 1:22 second destruction of former Washington Redskin’s wide receiver-turned pro MMA fighter Michael Westbrook. Browne is a brown belt in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu and has highly technical Muay Thai skills as well. As 6’4” and 6’7” respectfully, this will definitely be the battle of the giants as both men will come in with over 250lbs of fight and fury with the VFC Heavyweight Belt on the line for the victor.

There are a total of ten scheduled fights for VFC 30. The doors will open at 6:30 PM with all the live action starting at 7:30 PM sharp. Scheduled to fight on Friday – February 5th in the VICTORY cage:
