ProFighting-fans.com to Sponsor Forrest Petz at UFC 116

Forrest "The Meat Cleaver" Petz faces Daniel Roberts on the UFC 116 fight card

Forrest Petz defeated Luigi Fioravanti at UFC Fight Night 10 and has a 2-3 mark in 5 career UFC fights.

ProFighting-fans.com has agreed to terms with the representatives of Forrest "The Meat Cleaver" Petz to sponsor Petz for his fight on the UFC 116 fight card against Daniel Roberts (9-1, 0-1 UFC) on July 3, 2010 at the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas.

Petz, a 5-fight veteran of the UFC, has amassed a 24-7 career MMA record and is 2-3 in his 5 UFC fights. Luke Jernigan, Director of Marketing for ProFighitng-fans.com, interviewed Petz in February 2010 and knows of his importance to the Cleveland MMA scene. "Petz is a very accomplished fighter and one of the most successful fighters in the Cleveland area," said Jernigan. "ProFighting-fans.com is pleased to sponsor Petz at UFC 116 and support fighters from our local MMA community as we continue to build our MMA news site and brand for MMA fans across the globe."

At 34 years old, Petz is the reigning NAAFS Welterweight Champion fighting out of the Strong Style Martial Arts & Training Center in Independence, Ohio, a suburb of Cleveland. He was expected to defend his 170 pound title in Cleveland at NAAFS: Rock 'N Rumble in late August, but that title defense will surely be put on hold.

ProFighting-fans.com has sponsored several other UFC fighters in the past year in an effort to better promote their site. Included on that list of fighters is TUF 9 contestant Damarques Johnson at UFC 107, Jake Ellenberger & Dustin Hazelett at UFC 108 and another Cleveland-area UFC veteran in Jason "Dynamite" Dent at UFC 106.
