LionHeart MMA

State College, Pa — LionHeart announces the West Coast MMA debut of 2008 NCAA Wrestling Champion Phil Davis. Davis will face Josh Green at The Palace Fighting Championship in Lemoore, Ca. on Jan 22, 2009.

Richard Goodman of PFC said he picked Davis for the card because he stood out not only as a fighter but as a person. “We’re excited to have Phil out here at The Palace. It’s the place to be if you want to make a name for yourself. We have a great organization with fighters who have worked their way into the UFC and Phil’s the best of the best when it comes to wrestling. We’re looking forward to working with him as he makes his transition into MMA.”

LionHeart Founder Chad Dubin believes the show will be an important step forward for Davis. “A lot of people back East know what’s going on with Phil but it’s important for him to get out West and be seen by the MMA community out there. Palace Fighting Championship has proven to be a great stepping stone for fighters looking to move to the next level and we’re excited about the opportunity for Phil to fight out there.”

State College, Pa. — LionHeart Management proudly announces the signing of Elite XC fighter Paul Bradley to an exclusive MMA career management contract. Bradley who was seen this season on Spike TV’s “The Ultimate Fighter,” will represent LionHeart and train at the LionHeart MMA complex in State College, Pa. Currently signed to a 3 fight contract with Elite XC, Bradley is undefeated in the cage with a professional record of 5-0.

LionHeat owner, Chad Dubin, who signed NCAA Wrestling Champion Phil Davis earlier this month, believes Bradley will bring an important level of national recognition to his new team. “Signing a fighter with Paul’s reputation and experience is a big step forward for us. With the national exposure of an Elite XC contract, there were plenty of other opportunities available to him. The fact that Paul chose to sign with LionHeart means we must be doing something right.”

Bradley is an Iowa State High School Wrestling Champion and a two-time All-American wrestler at The University of Iowa. “I’m really excited about signing with Lionheart and I am looking forward to representing them in the octagon. This is a great place for me to further my career as a fighter and I really appreciate the opportunity Chad has given me.”
