[tps_title]IT Fight Series 30: Ohio vs. Georgia[/tps_title]
January 31st – Bellefontaine, OH
IT Fight Series returns to Bellefontaine with a pro/am event that features an “Ohio vs. Georgia” theme. In the main event, Georgia flyweight C.J. Hamilton (4-2) is set to face Team Ohio’s Jarred Brooks (3-0). In another bout on the card, Tim McCavit (3-1) will square off with Caleb Fickert (2-1) in a pro welterweight contest.
A pair of amateur titles will also be on the line, as Treg Wells (5-3) will face Bo Smith (6-1), who is returning after a five year absence from the cage. At light heavyweight, Jahci Lyles (3-0) will put his unbeaten record on the line when he faces Georgia’s Jay Gray (5-1) at 205 pounds. Lyles has been incredibly impressive thus far in his career, finishing all three of his bouts via TKO in the first round, with an average fight time of just 57 seconds. Gray has been impressive as well, as he is currently riding a five-fight winning streak after dropping his debut fight.
