CAGESPORT MMA TO BE AIRED ON ROOT SPORTS
Three dates announced throughout the Northwest Region!
Tacoma, WA (September 25, 2012) – The “CageSport XXI” card will air
on ROOT SPORTS Friday, October 5 from 10-11 pm, Friday, October 12
midnight-1 am and Sunday, October 21 11 pm-midnight.
The card takes place Saturday evening at the Emerald Queen Casino
in Tacoma. Doors open at 6 and the first fight is at 7.
With a total of ten professional bouts scheduled, “CageSport XXI”
features five undefeated fighters including Brent Knopp, Brandon
Dudley, Emmanuel Sanchez, Jacob Boysen and Julian Erosa, along with
stars such as Brandon Pitts, Sean Villalva and Ryan Mulvihill.
In addition to an exciting night of action, fans will be treated to
expert commentary from a special trio of broadcasters.
The always-entertaining Danny Bonaduce became a star during his
childhood as a member of the hit TV show The Partridge Family.
Bonaduce participated in several celebrity boxing events, competing
against famed attorney Robert Shapiro, actor Barry Williams of the
Brady Bunch and former MLB MVP Jose Canseco, who was 100 lbs
heavier and 1 foot taller than him. Bonaduce can currently be heard
during morning drive time on Seattle’s KZOK 102.5 FM in Seattle and
is a part of the hit TV series World’s Dumbest.
Known for his unbelievable MMA knowledge, Jeff Osborne is a former
UFC announcer who later played an integral part in the rise of
women’s MMA. In addition to being involved in early matches of
Frank Mir, Mike Brown and Jon Fitch, Osborne promoted the first
ever all-female MMA card in 2002, drawing more than 1,800 fans.
Ironically, future Fighter of the Year and two-time world champion
Miesha “Cupcake” Tate was one of the bouts featured on Osborne’s
all-female card. Born and bred in Tacoma, Tate’s match with Rhonda
Rousey on the Showtime Network was the most watched women’s fight
in history.
“I’m very happy ROOT SPORTS is going to play the fights on
three separate occasions,” said promoter Brian Halquist of Halquist
Productions. “We have a lot of hardcore fight fans who’ve been
waiting for something like this for awhile and I believe they’ll
tune in to watch the best fighters that CageSport has to
offer.”
Tickets are available on ticketmaster.com or by going to the
