JG Promotions returns to the beautiful Stockton Arena in Stockton California on October 12th 2007 with Mixed Martial Arts action that is sure to bring the house down. "Heath vs. Haynes" will showcase some of Northern California's best young talent. Former boxing promoter James Grunsky of JG Promotions is at it again with an action packed card headlined by a "Barn Burner of a fight."
Steve "South Paw" Heath, a living legend in Stockton, holds an MMA record of 9-3-1 will be fighting for the promotions first ever World Championship that night. Heath has gone to war with the likes of Chuck Liddell (Pictures) and Ivan Salaverry (Pictures) to name a few. He returned after a 3-year layoff due to a near career ending knee injury to take on Phil "The Pain" Collins in a bout last April in which Phil "felt the pain" and was forced to tap in just over 2 minutes of round 1. Heath demanded a tough fight this go around so promoter Grunsky obliged, by finding Ultimate Fighter finalist and reality TV star Josh Haynes (Pictures), with whom to do battle.
Josh "Bring the Pain" Haynes hails from Oregon where he trains with the world famous Team Quest. Haynes holds a record of 8-7, and was a finalist on The Ultimate Fighter season 3. Josh's stand up ability has grown by leaps and bounds and as a member of Team Quest you know he can compete with anyone on the ground. Haynes can be seen currently on CMT's new series, Ty Murray's Celebrity Bull Riding Challenge.
Also on the card, Stockton's own J.C. Cearley looks to stay undefeated when he clashes with consummate tough guy Rafael "The Real Deal" Del Real in a Heavyweight match up that is sure to bring fireworks. Younger brother Bobby Cearley is looking for win number 3 in a row as he faces Wayne Phillips from the prestigious American Kickboxing Academy.
Look for some big slams from both fighters as San Jose's Isaiah Hill looks to stop Turlock's own John Reedy in a lightweight fight that should keep everyone on the edge of their seat.
In Bantamweight action, Sacramento's Joseph Benevides will take on Brian Granados from Stact House team in Merced.
Oakdale MMA's Featherweight bad boy Justin Smitley is looking to put his stamp on the local boy Chuck Booz in a battle that will leave someone sleeping on the canvas.
Steve Hernandez looks to return to his winning ways, as he will step up to face Josh Neal from Turlock in another epic battle.
