MMA 145 LBS MAIN EVENT
ARNOLD BERDON
TEAM HAKUILUA
VS
SHANE KAHANANUI
KAUA'I TECHNICAL INSTITUTE
The main event of the evening pits a battle of undefeated fighters, ultra-popular Kaua’i fighter Shane Kahananui puts his perfect 4-0 MMA record on the line against top145 lb. prospect from Team Hakuilua Arnold Berdon, who himself, sports a 2-0 MMA record as well as a 2-0 triple threat match record. Shane will look to use his solid stand-up and sick jiu-jitsu game to nullify Arnold’s lightning fast hands and superior wrestling.
MMA 170 LBS CO-MAIN EVENT
EDDIE OHIA
NO REMORSE
VS
WESTON VICTORINO
DISCIPLES OF COLORADO
In the co-main event, former Kaua’i martial artist of the year, Weston Victorino will look to add to his 1-0 MMA record against tough-as-nails fighter Eddie Ohia from Team No Remorse in Kaneohe. Weston has fought some of the best 170 pounders in the state in kickboxing including Kona Ke, and boasts knockout wins over Zane Kamaka and Frank Robello. Currently traning jiu-jitsu in Colorado, he’s looking to transition to MMA with the same success. Eddie Ohia is 2-1-1 in MMA and trains under ground-and-pound specialist Sean Sakata. He recently fought stand and bang specialist Bryson Okada to a draw so that tells you he can stand with the best of them. Fight of the night written all over this one!
MMA 195 LBS SEMI-MAIN EVENT
TASI “THE TYRANT” EDWARDS
DA HUI FIGHT TEAM/ WAIANAE BOXING CLUB
VS
CATLIN "KADO" STROM
TEAM CHINGASO
In the semi-main event, New Mexico fighter and current Kaua’i resident Catlin “Kado” Strom is looking to improve on his 8-2 MMA record against “The Tyrant” Tasi Edwards from Waianae. Catlin is no stranger to combat competition. He boasts a super impressive jiu-jitsu pedigree from Team Chingaso a Royce Gracie affiliate school in New Mexico and is a skilled MMA veteran having fought in some big shows on the mainland. The last time “The Tyrant” Tasi Edwards traveled off of O’ahu to fight he knocked his opponent out cold in less than 10 seconds so he’ll be bringing the noise come January 23rd. With a work ethic that is second to none, and an all-around solid game, Tasi is one of the top fighters to watch in the state of Hawaii and represents what Waianae fighters are all about. If you’re lucky enough to watch this fight, DON’T BLINK, ‘cause it aint going to the judges…
