Two days ago the state MMA Commission had sanctioned a fight card for July 26th in Rochester, but now it's off the list. I guess the promoters backed out. There is another sanctioned fight in Rochester the next week, August 2nd. Do you know anything about that? |

August 2: MMA @ Rochester This is all i could find. Its being done by Seconds Out Promotions. no details as to who is fighting. MMA doesnt get much coverage in SE MN. EDIT: I also found the July 26: MMA @ Rochester same, no details. |

I don't know, but generally Micky's Pub is a sponsor, so you could probably call over there. I googled and came up w/ this website for "seconds out promotions", but their event page doesn't have Rochester. Maybe check their contacts page and call them: http://www.soboxing.com/events.html I think some guy named Jamie Klar (may not be the correct spelling) has been a promoter for many of the Rochester events. I don't know if he's got anything planned, I think he himself fought recently (within the past year). The other place would be to check w/ Mario Roberto's place (or other SE MN fight training sites). Mario's website is http://www.jiujitsuworld.com/ They're probably not "affiliated", but probably would know as their fighters would most likely be on the card. |

(disappointed) ... "I haven't seen anything about an August show. I know the normal people who promote MMA here were planning an August show, but it was postponed until October. They were hoping to do an outdoor show in August, but things fell through. I'll do some checking to make sure that's the one you're talking about. I know there is a show just across the border from Red Wing this Saturday, and that's being put on by a couple of Team Crazy guys from Lake City. Should be a lot of local guys, though with the CBS card on, I'm going to skip it! I'll actually have a feature on Nick Thompson here before Saturday's fight on CBS ... gotta support Minnesota! Anyway, I'll let you know if I hear anything regarding a possible August show. The October show should be awesome ... sounds like Logan Clark and/or Tommy Speer could be fighting on that card (more than likely will be just one of them fighting, for cost reasons). Glad to hear there are some avid MMA fans in the SE Minnesota area! Ben" 1. I forgot about the EliteXC Card going on this weekend. 2. I don't think they can get Speer to fight in October based on him *supposedly* fighting in August and under contract with WEC. So most likely Logan Clark. 3. It is awesome how quickly he got back to me. Great guy to have in the SE! |

I don't know anything about the planned July 26th or Aug 2nd shows, but we can assume that those aren't happening. Mickey was talking about doing a smaller show in August in Rochester, but he just got busy promoting other events and decided not to do anything until the October show. Jami Klair had been talking about doing an Aug 30th show. But he hadn't locked down a venue yet the last time I asked around. I've talked to a few fighters that he contacted for the show, but they haven't heard anything certain or been given match-ups. Kevin Garlitch of Team Crazy promoted a show up in Ellsworth, WI last Saturday. That is the second event that he put on in the area. It's a good venue for the guys on his team since a lot of them are from the Red Wing-Lake City area. The next local show is this coming Friday at the Elko Speedway near Faribault. This is the second show that Nick Gamst has promoted at the venue. I've got one guy on that show, Zack Strand (2-1). He'll be fighting Chris Finch (2-0). I don't know anything else about that card though. Mickey and I are working on the card for the October 4th show. We would like to have both Tom Speer and me on the card, but I have to find out if I am fighting in Japan again at the end of Sept first. Speer is scheduled to fight though, so we've got at least one big, local draw. He isn't scheduled to fight in the WEC until late in the year, so we have permission for him to fight from that promotion. If we only have one of us on the card, that is a result of scheduling issues not the budget. We've got a meeting this week, so I'll try to get you folks a preliminary card in the next while. |

Oh, and I didn't know anything about Seconds Out promoting in the SE. They have done a few mixed boxing/mma cards in the last year but nothing down here yet. |
