[simage=7535,200,y,left] The Midwest Cage Championship Contenders will be hosting a fight night in Knoxville tonight. Promoter Matt Rider tells KNIA/KRLS News that Contenders is an amateur level of Mixed Martial Arts competitions that feeds into the Midwest Cage Championships in Des Moines. He says the experience levels vary among the 32 fighters tonight, ranging from fighters making their debut to those who have had more than a dozen amateur fights. There will be a variety of styles as well, from straight grapplers to ground fighters to those Rider says are very explosive. The event begins at 7pm at Dingus Lounge Friday night. For tickets, call Rider at 218-0711 or call 218-9898.
