XFC 27: Frozen Fury
12/13/13
LC Walker Arena
Muskegon, Michigan
XFC 27: Frozen Fury (which I have been calling the "Knockdown in Lumbertown" as a reference to the event's location in Muskegon, Michigan) will go down on December 13th, 2013 and the main event will be XFC newcomer Daniel Swain against former UFC veteran & former XFC Lightweight Champion Júnior Assunção.
From the XFC page on the Main Event:
"Former XFC Lightweight World Champion Junior Assuncao (14-5) returns to the cage ready to face off against newly signed 22 year old Daniel Swain (10-2). The two will collide in the headlining fight, just after the Featherweight Co-Main event which will decide the new champion in the division. As if any more incentive is needed, a new title holder being crowned just 1 fight prior their time to shine is sure to give the two fighters an even bigger reason to get the win that night.
Swain is a Pancrase and MFC veteran that is looking to continue on his winning ways. He is currently riding a four-fight winning streak with his most recent victory against Tomonari Kanomata at Pancrase 248 in Japan. “Agent Orange” is a wrestling standout who is now training with Trevor Prangley’s AKA school.
Assuncao is coming off a big submission victory at Premium Fight Championship 2 against Guilherme Faria de Souza. The Brazlian was on a six-fight winning streak and got a call back to the UFC in 2011 where he picked up a unanimous decision victory over Eddie Yagin. He lost his next match-up to Ross Pearson at UFC 141 in December 2011 and was released from the promotion."
