Merciless – MMA in New Zealand

Merciless – MMA in New Zealand

Published on January 21, 2012 by The Editor in Event, Merciless

Saturday 28th January in Hawkes Bay at the Petigrew Green Arena, Napier, New Zealand

This is an exciting charity event and the charities that will benefit are The Womans Refuge and Inspiration for Children.

The event organised by Jerry Sargeant of Fierce Fitness promises to put on an exciting show.

The Undercard

There will be 9 corporate fights as warriors from local companies are hoping to settle some scores in the ring and then of course the real action unfolds.

Gary Wise vs Cliff Dyer

Paul Wise vs Scott Dallimoore

John Brady vs Rob Townsend

Adam Emerson vs Shane Holst

Blayde Truts vs Louis Thompson

Mario Kearney vs Dion Cooper

Ana Morrison vs Gemma Anderson

Nigel Grootjans vs Scott Richardson

Brendon Smith vs Justin Power

Then there are three Pro MMA Bouts

Sadly I only have details of two of the fights but they promise their share of fireworks.

Well known in the Asian scene is the American Will ‘The Kill’ Chope (5-4-0) (Phuket Top Team /Team Buffet) a man who likes to fight a lot and is always looking for fresh challenges, his opponent is Ev Ting (2-0-0)(Auckland MMA)

The Main Event 

Daniel ‘The Grave Digga’ Digby (8-4-0)(Hawkes Bay) (Fierce Fitness) who is also NZ’s ICNZ
Welterweight Champion is stepping up a weight division to Middle Weight to tackle NZ’s ICNZ middle weight champion Forrest Goodwin (3-1-0)(Christchurch) (Strike Force)

We would like to wish the people behind Merciless all the best with the event.
