Local sensation Yancy Medeiros looks to make the first move in his systematic rise to the top of his division in the ever growing ranks of Strikeforce. His opponent will be Raul Castillo who is a notable Gladiator Challenge and Strikeforce veteran. His marquee win being that over Eric Lawson. Yancy has his hands full with this striker who is well versed in the ground game as well. But never fear, because the big hitter from the Westside is ready to put it all on the line. Make sure to tune in to Showtime on February 26th and prepare for the action that will befall you.

Whether he is your cousin, uncle, nephew, brother, friend or neighbor, he is always prepped to unleash the demons (aka his fists) and put on a show. If you have ever been to one of his fights you will know that there is no lack of action when the thunder of Yancy Medeiros booms. His hands are lightening quick and twice as powerful, which seems to prove troublesome for any and all who catch them in the cage. Congratulations to our local talent for making it to the big stage, and I hope you all tune in to see the action. Once again that is Showtime on Feb. 26th. Prepare to have your jaw dropped.
