GHULAM, SPISAK SET TO CLASH FOR THE CROWN AT #UNIFIED26

Jan 7, 2016

EDMONTON — Championship gold will be on the line at #Unified26, March 4 in Edmonton.

Complete Fitness and Martial Arts fighter Parwez Ghulam will clash with Hayabusa Training Centre’s Matt Spisak for the #UnifiedMMA Featherweight Championship. The 145-pound crown is up for grabs after Unified MMA and former Champion Sabah Fadai amicably parted ways earlier this month.

Both Ghulam, who formerly held the featherweight belt, and Spisak, a winner of five straight, are coming off huge wins at #Unified25 in December. And both men are looking to keep the great times rolling when they return to the Unified MMA cage in March.

And both fighters are excited to finally have a crack at each other in the Unified MMA cage.

“I’m super excited,” Ghulam says with a big smile. “Finally, I will get to beat him. I hope he shows up. You can run but you can’t hide, homie.”

Counters Spisak: “Every fight camp, I come out as a new martial artist and a new person. I’ve been waiting for this day to happen. Now it’s my time to take this opportunity and capitalize on it … (Parwez) does have skills, but there’s nothing he can learn from his coaching staff that will beat me. I’m not the same fighter as I was a year ago or even a month ago.”

Ghulam has his sights set on re-claiming his championship. Spisak, meanwhile, is eagerly anticipating his long-awaited shot at championship gold.

“A real champion is molded and forged over years of pounding on his craft,” Spisak says. “I have put my time in and deserve what is owed to me. Winning this belt will just bring me one step closer to my main goal of overall success.”

The event is also to include, among other exciting fighters, Tanner Boser, Ty Collier, Clay Dixon and Pat Pytlik.

Tickets will go on sale January 11.
