Two of the
local Mixed Martial Arts clubs will be participating in
the Battle at the Border 6 (U.S.A. Vs CANADA) Xtreme
Cagefighting Championships at the McMorran Arena in Port
Huron on October 24th.
On the card will be five fighters from the Supreme M.M.A. club
representing Sarnia while Watford’s Pure-Bred fight club
will have two of their fighters on the bill. From the
Supreme club: Woodrow James (180lbs) supporting
an undefeated record of 3-0 will do battle against
Brad Laney who has an impressive record of 20-5.
Marcello Solinas (185lbs) with 5 victories and only
one loss will square off against Brian Wendel who
has an identical record. The winner of this bout will be
the number one contender for the Middleweight belt and
will fight for the title in their next fight. Chris
Logan (155lbs) at 2-2 will face Rob Ross who
is 6-7 while both Jeremy Lambert (135lbs) and
Dean Parsons (170lbs) will be making their MMA debut
that night.
Seeing
action from the Watford club will be Forrest Cable
(145lbs) who remains undefeated with an impressive 5-0
record. Cable will fight Brandon Sturgis
who is 8-3 for the Featherweight title. Also from
Watford is Bobbi Jo Dalziel (145lbs) at 3-1 she
will see action against Erika Bobier who has a
2-1 record. This bout is for the Women’s title.
Supreme
M.M.A. instructor Woodrow James said, “at the
Battle of the Border I am 2-0. In my first fight it went
all three rounds and I won a unanimous decision, but it
was real close. In my second appearance I won by
knock-out in the second round.”

James
opponent Laney has a record of 20-5 so it will be
a huge step up in competition for him. “I’ll soon find
out if I’m ready,” laughs James. “Laney is
a Port Huron guy fighting out of the Gracy Jujitsu
school and I’m assuming he will be a wrestler / grappler
and want to take it to the ground. I’m a kick boxer so I
hope to keep it on our feet. The crowd always wants to
see a knock-out (right) so I’m hoping to deliver,”
mentions James.

Chris Logan,
also from the Supreme club, will also make
his third appearance at the Battle of the
Border. Logan said, “my two losses
were at the Battle of the Border, but I now
have back to back victories elsewhere. In my
first appearance I got fist pumped, I’m not
going to lie about it.
My second was a good stand up battle with
the decision going his way.” When describing
his style Logan said, “I like to
fight standing, but I’ll hold you down and
punch you in the face if you want me too.”
When asked what the crowd could expect from
his next appearance Logan was quick
to reply, “fireworks – fireworks, I want to
put on a show.” |
