IT Fight Series 31

March 21st – Lima, OH

IT Fight Series returns to Lima on Saturday night with its 31st event, at IT Fight Series 31 features a trio of pro bouts to go along with a 13-bout amateur card.

In the headliner, veterans Sean Barnett (4-8) and Matt Montalvo (6-11) will meet at a catchweight of 150 pounds. Other pro bouts feature UFC and “TUF China” veteran Albert Cheng (3-3) vs. Matthew Egner (4-5) at lightweight, and featherweights Curtis Doner (1-1) vs. Tray  Taylor (0-3).

Barnett and Montalvo will both look to snap long losing streaks, as one fighter will get back into the win column. Cheng looks to move his record above .500 for the first time, while Egner looks for what would be the biggest win of his career. Doner tries to get his second pro win, while Taylor is still seeking his first.

On the amateur side, the first IT Fight Series women’s champion will be crowned as Chelsea Faulder (3-1) takes on Anna Abrams (5-1). Faulder put on an impressive performance with an upset of Jayde Sheeley in her last outing at IT Fight Series 30 in January. The 20-year-old Abrams looks to claim her first MMA title before she can even buy a beer.
