Prestige FC adds two exciting fights to March 12th event in Regina SK

(PRESS RELEASE) -- Prestige FC, the hottest mixed martial arts show in Canada, continues to stack its phenomenal second event lineup with two additional bouts making their way to the main card.

In a much-anticipated return to action, high-end prospect Mariusz Ksiazkiewicz (4-0) will take on slick submission specialist “Mitey” Micah Brakefield (7-6). Also added on is a welterweight clash pitting Sheldon LeBlanc (3-1) against American invader Andrew Perez (3-2).

Prestige FC 2: Queen City Coronation presented by 104.9 The Wolf takes place on Saturday, March 12th inside the George Reed Auditorium at The Orr Centre in Regina, Saskatchewan. The event airs live on The Fight Network and Access 7. “We set our sights on making Queen City Coronation the best fight card fans will see in Canada in 2016 and it is happening in a big way,” said Cord Crowthers, CEO & Matchmaker for Prestige FC.

“There are a lot of high expectations surrounding Mariusz and he’s going to get a very tough and eager test from Micah. For Sheldon, this is great opportunity to step up in competition and make himself a hot prospect in Canadian MMA. The best part of it all is that the fans are getting an action-packed card loaded with talented and exciting fighters.”

Ksiazkiewicz (Twitter: @IronPolMMA), who fights out of Winnipeg, Manitoba, is back after a hiatus forced upon him by a lack of opponents willing to square-off against him. The 26-year-old, who stands 6-foot-3, has notched three wins via submission – all coming by way of rear-naked choke and two of those coming inside the first round. Brakefield (Twitter: @micahbrakefield), who is 6-foot-4 and 27 years old, is a sly jiu-jitsu practitioner with all six of his career victories coming via submission and four of those coming inside the opening round. The Burnaby, B.C., product has won two of his last three fights both coming by triangle choke.

After a second-round submission at Prestige FC 1, Leblanc returns to action in his home town of Regina. Leblanc bested Corey Atkinson with a keylock back in October to pick up his third win by submission. Perez is from Tucson, Arizona, and now trains under the guidance of colorful fighter-turned-coach Thomas Denny. In addition to the new main card bouts, Prestige FC has added Myles Anderson versus Ryan Rohovich in an undercard lightweight tussle.

Prestige FC 2: Queen City Coronation is topped by a showdown for the featherweight title as Kurt “The Hurt” Southern battles Nick Rhoads.
