#Gary #NWIndiana 6/11: Hoosier Fight Club Showdown at the Steel Yard Set for June 11

Posted by CEO on , under Gary Events, June Events, MMA, NWI Events, Press Release | comments (0)

PRESS RELEASE - The burgeoning sport of mixed martial arts is coming to U. S. Steel Yard this summer when the Hoosier Fight Club presents The Showdown at The Steel Yard Friday, June 11 at 7:30 p.m. featuring Portage’s own John Kolosci in the main event, and tickets are on sale now. General admission seats are available for $35 for a night packed with bouts from The Region’s top MMA promoter. Tickets can be purchased through the Gary SouthShore RailCats website at www.railcatsbaseball.com or by calling Hoosier Fight Club at 219.309.1861. VIP tickets are also available, but only by contacting Hoosier Fight Club directly.

The U. S. Steel Yard gates will open at 6 p.m. on the night of the showdown. Kolosci (14-6) is a veteran of the Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) and Strikeforce, and was a finalist on Season Six of Spike TV’s hit show The Ultimate Fighter. Kolosci also fought on the Hoosier Fight Club’s second card, January 2 at The Venue at the Horseshoe Casino in Hammond, and won a decision over Bill Hill. Kolosci’s opponent June 11 will be another veteran of the UFC, Luigi Fioravanti (17-6). The former Marine fights for the highly-regarded American Top Team.

The Showdown at The Steel Yard’s co-main event again has a local flavor, with Chicago’s Anthony Gomez (9-1) tangling with veteran Lew Polley (10-3) in the 205 pound weight class. Gomez hails from Torres Martial Arts in Hammond where he trains with Northwest Indiana legend Miguel Torres. Polley, another dangerous big man, trains with Team Alliance and is a veteran of the International Fight League (IFL).

The rest of the packed card is dotted with local fighters, including Chicagoland native Mark Miller, another veteran of the IFL and a former combatant on The Ultimate Fighter. Four Gary, Indiana natives will also fight June 11 out of Team Colon in Portage: Mike Welch, Lloyd Carter, Brandon Delprado and Jorge Gonzales (as an amateur).

The Hoosier Fight Club, founded in 2009, has quickly become the premier MMA production company in Northwest Indiana. The Showdown at The Steel Yard will be HFC’s fourth event, following a successful April 2 card at the Porter County Expo Center. For more information on the Hoosier Fight Club, visit www.hoosierfightclub.com or call 219.309.1861. The Hoosier Fight Club is MMA Done the Right Way.

The RailCats are Northwest Indiana’s premier professional sports franchise, and have attracted more than one million fans to state-of-the-art U. S. Steel Yard since the 6,000-seat facility opened in 2003. On the field, the RailCats have won two Northern League Championships (2005, 2007) and advanced to the Championship Series each of the last five years.

Malik Yusef featured at Beautiful Soul 2nd Sundays

Beautiful Soul 2nd Sunday Showcase featuring Chicago's Own Grammy, Emmy, Peabody Award winning HBO Def Poet

Malik Yusef The Wordsmyth

Malik Yusef is one Chicago’s Top 5 Most Featured Musical Artist listed only behind R. Kelly, Common, Twista, and Kanye West and is arguably the worlds most renown and famous spoken word musician. His national debut started with his on-set job training actor Larenz Tate for the movie “Love Jones” and was featured in the film. Malik was featured on Actor and Grammy Award wining artist Common’s Platinum selling “One Day It’ll All Make Sense” and Carl Thomas’s debut double platinum album “Emotional.” He served as the poster boy for Russell Simmons HBO’s Def Poetry Jam and won a Grammy with Kanye West for his poetry performance on “Late Registration” alongside The Game on “Crack Music” and is nominated for a Grammy 2010 for his writing on Amazing by Kanye featuring Young Jezzy from the album “808 and Heartbreaks.”

His own album release under Universal Music featured such artists as Kanye West, Twista, Carl Thomas, Common, to name a few and his album features have included Raheem Devaughn (Jive), Shawnna (DTP/DEF JAM), Rhymefest (J-RECORDS), Kindred The Family Soul (Hidden Beach), Barak Obama’s:Yes We Can (Hidden Beach) UK’s Shawn Emmanuel (EMI) and Legit Ballaz (KOCH). His musical prowess has even extended to Hollywood as Malik has had soundtrack songs featured on Top 10 Movies including Coach Carter and My Baby Daddy. His film credits have also been upgraded to writer/producer/narrator for his film short “Hollywood Jerome” which won an IFP Award and 9 other International awards including an appearance in the prestigious Cannes Film Festival. Malik also earned an Emmy from his performance on Russell Simmons HBO’s Def Poetry Jam the show also earned a Peabody that year.

Malik Yusef is a world renowned Fashionista and has been instrumental in fusing European and American fashion creating a symmetry not seen in hip-hop culture prior to his artistic emergence. One example was Malik’s reintroduction of MCM (MCM Worldwide/Germany) as a viable contender in the Fashion Arena in North America.

Malik is a key influencer in the community. His youth literacy foundation, For Yourself Foundation, seeks out and offers alternatives for youth that have mitigating circumstances similar to Malik and his troubled beginnings as a youth. He seeks to use his star power and influence to help curb others from making the same mistakes.

Malik’s street credibility, business acumen, and philanthropic efforts make him an invaluable icon and tastemaker in today’s global industry.
