February 7th – Valparaiso, IN
Hoosier Fight Club returns to Northwest Indiana for its 23rd show, as HFC 23 features seven pro bouts and seven amateur bouts as part of a deep card. In the main event, Dustin Pape (5-1) will look for his fifth straight win under the HFC banner when he faces Minnesota’s Kenneth Glenn (5-2). Pape has won four straight bouts via decision after he was stopped via TKO in his HFC debut in 2013. Glenn, meanwhile, returned from a two-year layoff last October, when he picked up his fifth pro win via first round submisison. All five of his wins have been via stoppage, including four in the first round.
In the co-main event, UFC and Bellator veteran Ryan Thomas (20-8) looks for his seventh win in his last eight outings when he faces veteran Bill Hill (20-27). In another intriuging bout, Tom Shoaff (6-1) looks to bounce back from the first loss of his career when he faces unbeaten rising star Cameron VanCamp (2-0-1).
At featherweight, Pittsburgh native Dave Sachs (7-2) will fight for the first time since 2011 when he faces Jared McMahan (10-3-1). Sachs was on a five-fight winning streak when he last competed, including four of those wins via submission and one TKO. McMahan has lost 3 of 4 after starting his career 9-0-1. You can check out some background on the veteran Sachs from Matt Leyshock over at StandThemUp.org.
In another pro bout, Robert Morrow (22-18-1) will be back in action when he faces Anthony Gomez (7-2). Morrow is 10-4-1 in the last two years and has competed reguarly on short notice. Gomez has a 3-1 record under the Bellator MMA banner.
