Countries collide in just seven days as Mixed Fighting Championship brings
you its fifth internationally-stacked event “USA vs. Japan,” live November
5th from the Trump Taj Mahal & Casino in Atlantic City, New Jersey.

Ten of Japan’s proudest are on route to America and a worthy team touting
some of the red, white, and blue’s best will be waiting to greet them in a
night of heated action inside the famed MFC ring. Among them, Team Gurgel
heavyweight Mike Patt takes on Yusuke Masuda.

American Top team light heavyweight Wilson Gouveia also joins the roster
against up-and-comer Kazuhiro Hamanaka, and Pitt’s Penn slugger Jose
Rodriguez has his fists locked on target Yuichirou Toshida.

A friendly gentleman’s bet is among the welterweight offerings for the
evening, as Philadelphia Fight Factory’s own Stephen Haigh tackles Yuji
Miyazaki not only for the win, but for the right to keep his precious locks.
  A hair-raising proposition, the loser of the bout has agreed to let his
victorious opponent shave his head.

Bald or untouched, Fight Factory teammate and MFC star Eddie Alvarez will be on hand to lend Haigh his support.  Then the undefeated Alvarez will step
into the ring himself to wage war with returning MFC warrior Daisuke “13”
Hanazawa.

Also on the card, the ladies of MFC finally get their night as New Jersey
native Tara Larosa tangles with Amanda Buckner in one of three MFC Challenge preliminary bouts.
