NORTH AMERICAN FIGHTING CHAMPIONSHIP
Debuts at
POTAWATOMI BINGO CASINO
With
“BAD BLOOD”
Hated Rivals Face Off In Main Event

(Milwaukee, Wisconsin USA): Rising MMA fight promotion North American Fighting Championship (NAFC) announced its next event, entitled “BAD BLOOD,” which will take place Wednesday, November 24th (Thanksgiving eve) in The Expo Center at Potawatomi Bingo Casino, 1701 West Canal Street, in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. Doors open at 5:00 pm, show starts at 7:00 pm.
 
“Bad Blood’s” main event features a highly anticipated bout between two enemies, as WEC and Bellator veteran Jameel “The Real Deal” Massouh and rising MMA prospect Chico “King” Camus lock horns with their pride at stake.
 
Tickets for this cost $35.00, $65.00 and $100.00, and are available at Ticketmaster.com  (event listed under "Bad Blood") or at Potawatomi’s Northern Lights Theater Box Office. Fans can also purchase tickets by calling by Ticketmaster at (800) 745-3000. Must be 21 and over.

Jameel “The Real Deal” Massouh (24-7), who fights out of Milwaukee, Wisconsin, has fought some of the best Featherweights in the world. During his run in the WEC, Massouh faced top-flight competition in Raphael Assuncao, Leonard Garcia and Eric Koch. None of the three was able to finish “The Real Deal,” as Massouh lost all three fights by decision.
 
A strong finisher in his own right, Massouh has defeated Strikeforce veteran Dustin Neace twice and WEC/Strikeforce veteran Ryan Healy during the course of his career. Coming off a submission win victory over Nick Mamalis in his Bellator debut in September, “The Real Deal” is ready to add “King” Camus to his list of victims.

Chico “King” Camus (7-1) is a fast-rising prospect fighting out of Milwaukee’s famed Roufusport Fight Club and is coached by legendary striking and Muay Thai trainer Duke Roufus. Undefeated in the NAFC at 2-0 with two exciting TKO stoppages to his credit, Camus has shown he is equally adept with his strikes as he is with his submissions.
 
Currently on a six-fight win streak, which includes a victory over former WEC Featherweight title challenger Joe “The Triangular Strangler” Pearson at NAFC’s “STAND YOUR GROUND” in April of this year, “King” is ready to show the MMA world who rules. Next up for the Roufusport product: “The Real Deal.” These two were originally supposed to face off at a Bellator card. Unfortunately, Camus suffered an injury, forcing him off the card. Massouh took the opportunity to question Camus’ sincerity, claiming he simply didn’t want to face “The Real Deal.” Now these two can finally settle score once and for all in the cage at “BAD BLOOD!”
North American Fighting Championship is presented by Potawatomi Bingo Casino, Concede Fight Gear, Bell Ambulance and Combat Corner Fight Shop.
A total of 11 bouts are planned for “Bad Blood.”

John “The Goat” Hosman vs. Chico “King” Camus

This bantamweight fight between rising star Chico Camus and former WEC fighter John Hosman earned USCS Fight of the Night honors, and if you were in attendance on Saturday night you would know why.  It was a three round war, where both men took and dished out damage.  Each man scored multiple times in the exchanges with both punches and kicks, however Chico’s overhand right was the story of the night.

Throughout the fight Chico landed that overhand right and staggered John several times, sending him cascading to the canvas.  Chico pounced on him landing big shots, trying to finish him off, but John showed incredible heart and ability to recover by refusing to give up over, and over again.  It wasn’t until the third stanza when Chico again rocked the WEC veteran, that he was finally able to put him away with a fury of punches on the ground.

After the fight, during his interview, Chico pleaded with the WEC to “Please sign me!  Please sign me!”  He makes a strong case considering his last two opponents have been WEC veterans with a total of 47 wins.  This victory puts Chico’s professional MMA record at 6 wins to only 1 loss.  A loss that 3 months later he avenged with an impressive submission victory.


Dustin Block vs. Justin “The Fighting Fireman” Lemke

This light heavyweight fight was short and sweet with Justin “The Fighting Fireman” Lemke submitting Dustin Block in only 37 seconds with a guillotine choke.  Dustin shot in for and secured a takedown.  Justin started to scramble back to his feet, when Dustin lifted him and slammed him down again.  During the slam Justin was able to secure the guillotine choke and finish the fight.


Chris “Golden” Skoglund vs. Kyle “Wicked” Weickhardt

Chris came in aggressive in this fight, throwing punches and attempting a takedown early.  Kyle was able to defend and keep them up on their feet.  Both men traded punches and kicks, until Kyle landed a “Wicked” counter punch that turned Chris’ legs into rubber.  Kyle immediately swarmed him with punches until the referee stepped in at the 1:40 mark in the very first round.

Chris Beck vs. Ryan Mendez

Another quick, but impressive fight rounded out the Professional MMA portion of the fight card.  Bantamweights Ryan Mendez and Chris Beck both came out fast.  Ryan attempted a kick and Chris quickly closed the distance and landed a punch.  In the clinch Ryan was able to side step, elevate and slam Chris to the mat.  While Chris attempted to escape Ryan kept improving his position keeping them both on the ground.  During a scramble Ryan sunk in a darse choke and Chris was forced to tap or go out.  It took Ryan Mendez only 59 seconds to earn himself the USCS Submission of the Night honors.

NAFC’s second event saw an impressive culmination of professional as well as amateur, grappling, kickboxing and MMA.  This event touted WEC and UFC veterans as well as new, young, up and coming talent, and boy did it deliver.  If you missed this show, check out NAFC’s next show on August 7th at the Wisconsin State Fair Park.

If they keep putting on shows like this, it won’t take long for the NAFC to be a dominating factor in the Midwest MMA circuit.  During an intermission, WEC fighter Anthony “Showtime” Pettis came into the cage and talked about an opportunity we have to vote to bring a WEC event here to Milwaukee.  Go to the voting headquarters and vote to bring a WEC event here.  Currently Milwaukee is 11th, but with the MMA following we have here, I’m sure we can quickly move up the ranks.

In addition, local fighter Chico “King” Camus earned a huge victory as well, pulling off the upset over former WEC title challenger “The Triangular Strangler” Joe Pearson. It was a tremendous fight event for the promotion formerly known as Gladiators Fighting, and was labeled “an absolute success” by local media.
 
Both Tim Boetsch (11-3) and his opponent, Wisconsin heavyweight favorite Reese Shaner (13-5), were enjoying winning streaks heading into the bout, but only one would leave with it intact. One devastating head kick later and it was Pennsylvania’s Boetsch who was standing tall. With heavy crowd support behind him, “Old Man” looked to take the fight to the UFC veteran as things got started. After some feeling out, he ate a teep (front kick), a strike Boetsch is known for, and it went downhill from there.

Boetsch followed it up with a nasty kick to the head, and though some in the crowd felt the fight might have been stopped too early, the ref recognized that the Waukesha native was unable to intelligently defend himself and the fight was waved off. “The fight went a little differently than I expected,” said Boetsch.  “I expected Reese to come in and take me down, and I was a little surprised when he came out and tried standing up,” Boetsch told local fight media outlet WI Combat Sports. “Pleasantly surprised I might add…the first minute or so I timed him out and then planted a well-timed head kick on him.  I was very pleased with my performance.”
 
Roufusport’s Razak Al-Hassan (8-2), a slick ground fighter, made his return to Wisconsin a successful one as he withstood the challenge of a very game Richard White (9-4) in earning a submission victory. After stuffing some takedown attempts in the first round and inflicting some damage on his opponent, Al-Hassan clearly won the first round. In the second round, he showed some patience in waiting for his opening to come, and when it did, he capitalized. The fight went to the ground and Al-Hassan caught White in a rear-naked choke for the win. Al-Hassan snapped a two-fight losing streak in the process.
 
Heading into his bout with a former WEC title challenger, Chico Camus (5-1) knew that his work was definitely cut out for him. Joe Pearson (34-16-1) holds 34 MMA victories, with 28 coming via submission. Going to the ground with him is never a good idea. So Camus came prepared to stand, and that’s what he did. However, it was “The Triangular Strangler” who came out swinging in the beginning. Camus was able to avoid any significant damage, and in doing so, he began to respond in kind.

Pearson switched game plans and started shooting in for the takedown, which “King” was able to avoid. He knocked the WEC vet’s mouthpiece out with a stiff left hand, which actually bought Pearson some time as the mouth-guard was replaced. After the fight was restarted, Camus threw a right hand that was the beginning of the end for Pearson. Camus poured it on, throwing rights and lefts until Pearson was no longer defending himself, garnering the ref stoppage. With his huge win, “King” may be looking for his crown soon.
 
UFC/WEC veteran Nick Agallar was supposed to compete on the card, but was unable to fight due to an injury. Look for him on a future NAFC event soon.

Regarding “STAND YOUR GROUND,” NAFC promoter Scott Joffe said, “On behalf of Duke Roufus and Gilbert Brown, the NAFC would like to thank all of our high energy fans who came out to support elite-level MMA in Milwaukee, Wisconsin Saturday night. The event was packed, and the action in the cage was as furious on the amateur card as it was through our main event.

Win or lose, I am very proud of how each and every one of the fighters gave it their all, every second of their fight. Seriously, there wasn't a dud bout on the card. Mike Carbajal did a great job matchmaking "Stand Your Ground." He makes it look like an art when you get a night of fights like we had.

The NAFC is operated by famed fight trainer Duke Roufus and his business partner and producer Scott Joffe, who have joined forces with former NFL nose tackle and Green Bay Packers Hall-of-Famer Gilbert “Gravedigger” Brown to create a formidable promotional team.
 
Roufus is one of the most recognizable striking coaches in North America, and is considered to be one of the top trainers of Muay Thai Kickboxing outside of Thailand. He also runs the Roufusport Fight Club team, which includes UFC stars Ben Rothwell, Eric "Red" Schafer, Alan Belcher, Patrick Barry, and UFC vet Razak Al-Hassan.  Former students include former UFC Lightweight Champion Jens Pulver and The Ultimate Fighter season one star Stephan Bonnar.
 
Roufus and Joffe operate the Duke Roufus MMA Academy with multiple locations in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. Brown is considered by many to be one of the greatest run-stuffers of his era. He played in 125 Packers games, recording 292 tackles (186 solo) and seven sacks. Nicknamed “The Gravedigger” in honor of his celebratory dance following a thunderous tackle, Brown played in 15 Packers playoff games. His best season was 1996, when Green Bay won Super Bowl XXXI. He was also part of the Kansas team that won the 1992 Aloha Bowl, and was selected for the All-Academic Big Eight team in 1991. He fills the role of New Business Development Director for the NAFC.
