Kimbo Killa!!!!!!!!!

Art of Fighting will be presenting its fourth event night of professional
mixed martial arts competition for the growing regional promotion at the USF
Sundome this Saturday, August 22.


The two headlining matches include:
*Seth "Kimbo Killa" Petruzelli vs Chris Baten
*Marcio "Pe de Pano" Cruz against Tom Sauer.

Critics and fans alike will be watching this event to see if Petruzelli
(10-4) can build his name as a great fighter after a surprising victory over
the favored Kimbo Slice. This would be his first time fighting in 10 months
since conquering Ferguson. He was booked for a bout in March bout against
former WEC champion Doug Marshall at a event promoted by boxer Roy Jones Jr.
but was forced off the card when he tore his MCL.

Chris Baten (5-4), Tampa police officer and one-time IFL fighter, will be
entering this fight with much more to gain if he takes this opportunity to
make a name for himself. This will mark a chance of a lifetime for him to
show the world his skills.

Before accepting this fight Petruzelli was negotiating a deal with
Strikeforce CEO Scott Coker when Art of Fighting made an offer to compete in
an event only minutes from his Orlando home. Sources say that the UFC has
remained open to giving Petruzelli a second chance despite their past
together.
