As Bout Draws Near, Reality Sets In; DeMoney Pulls Out
Posted by Admin on Feb 22, 2010 in Articles, Featured • No comments
Many times, as fight night nears, competitors are pushing their bodies to the limit- sometimes past their limit. Often, you will read of a fighter who was forced to pull out of a contest due to an injury, a cut, or other physical incapacities. It happens.
Early last week, MCC officials learned that Justin DeMoney, the Ottumwa-based fighter set to take on five-time UFC veteran, Kevin “The Fire” Burns, would not be competing at MCC 25: “Inferno”. What was the reason? Fill in the blank…
“It was very strange. We keep in contact with our fighters- especially those involved in big fights or title fights. A few weeks ago we received a message from Justin DeMoney saying that he was out of the bout due to personal problems. When we were able to reach him, he said he was fine and excited for the bout. Then, last week he called back with a bevy of reasons why he would not be fighting. He blamed his manager. He said he was going to be fighting in a big organization, although he could not come up with a name for the organization. The whole story was just odd. More than likely, reality set in, and he knew the time to back up his talk was coming near. He has a good record, and he is probably more worried about keeping that in tact rather than facing Burns and getting another blemish.”
When one door closes another one opens. In this case, Jason “Type One” Louck kicked the door right off the hinges.
The former MCC Middleweight Champion has fought some of the biggest names in the fight game. An aggressive brawler who is not afraid to exchange punches with anyone, Louck is looking forward to the challenge, and he knows a win over Burns will skyrocket him to the top of the Midwest food chain.
A member of the world renowned, Team Miletich, Louck has a variety of top notch training partners at his disposal. Louck is focused, and ready to put his skills to the test.
MCC 25: “Inferno” takes place Saturday, March 13 at Hy Vee Hall. Tickets are available at www.MidwestCageChampionship.com, by phone at 515-229-8566 or at all Dahl’s ticket outlets. For more information check out the web site.
