Complete Devastation 8 Preview



Complete Devastation 8


Once again, coming to the Blair County Convention Center in Altoona, Pa. on March 2nd is the eighth installment of Complete Devastation MMA, the best & most exciting MMA event in Central Pennsylvania, brought to you by GoTime Promotions. I have attended all but the very first Complete Devastation event, and the fights get better with each successive event. Believe me when I say you do NOT want to miss out on this one! Tickets can be purchased online at the official website.

Brett "Showtime" Shoenfelt is in the main event facing William Ward. Shoenfelt is on a 3 fight win-streak, and the buzz going around is that you could be seeing him fight for larger promotions very soon. Brett has been working to help the Hollidaysburg High School wrestling team by offering to donate money for every ticket he sells for the event.

In a title fight to fill the spot left vacant when former Featherweight (ammy) Champion Charlie Gathers turned pro will be Rich Cantolina facing Zachery Shultz. Originally Cody "Lenny" Karlheim was scheduled to face Shultz, but when he got injured training for the fight Cantolina stepped up on relative short notice to take on Shultz for the belt.

Other Dignan/Brumbaugh fighters scheduled to do battle in the cage on this fight card are Brad "Machine Gun" Mountain, Tyler Updike, Jason Royer, Shawn McMahon, and "The Madman" Charlie Gathers. 

Complete Devastation veteran Clark Young (#2, #3, #4) is set to face Chris Pierce in a Heavyweight (ammy) fight that is sure to be exciting & please the crowd. Young is undefeated in his Complete Devastation appearances, and 3 - 1 overall.

I look forward to seeing cageside commentator Albert Cameron and announcer Drew Shannon do the play-by-play and for the Nova 6 Studios crew (in conjunction with the GoTime Productions crew) to have an awesome lights and audio/video set-up to help make the event look and feel like larger promotions such as XFC, Bellator & even the UFC.

Every Complete Devastation MMA event that I have attended has been PACKED with fans yelling for their favorite fighters on these STACKED fight cards. Tickets start at just $25 and I can tell you that there really is no bad seat in the house at the Blair County Convention Center. The past 2 events at the Convention Center have been pretty much Standing Room Only because of excellent ticket sales - this event could become sold out... so be smart & GET YOUR TICKET(S) NOW!

Several Complete Devastation alums have gone on to fight for the larger promotions on nationally televised events... do yourself a favor and get your ticket NOW for this event. You can thank me later! (and if you do attend the event, feel free to come over and say "Hi")
