THREE #UNIFIED MMA BELTS ON THE LINE AT #UNIFIED28

Jul 6, 2016

EDMONTON — For the first time in Unified MMA history, three championships will be on the line in a single night when the cage door locks at #Unified28 in Edmonton on September 30.

Edmonton’s Parwez Ghulam will fight Curtis DeMarce to reclaim the vacant Unified MMA Featherweight Championship, undefeated Edmonton fighter Denny Houle will clash with Calgary’s Nick Campbell for the vacant Unified MMA Light-Heavyweight Championship, and Unified MMA Heavyweight Champion Tanner Boser of Edmonton will defend his crown against a to-be-determined international opponent.

The winner of Ghulam-DeMarce won’t just take home the Unified MMA Featherweight Championship — they’ll almost certainly be propelled into the top 10 of the Canadian 145-pound rankings.

That being said, both fighters have gold on their mind heading into battle in “The City of Champions.”

“I’ve been fighting to get that Unified MMA Featherweight Championship belt wrapped around my waist again,” says Ghulam, a six-time Unified MMA veteran. “Fight Night can’t come soon enough. There’s no way I’m going home without my belt. Curtis has no chance to take it from me.”

DeMarce, who’s flying high after a hard-fought battle with Matt Spisak, agrees it’s a blessing to fight for the Unified MMA title.

“The plan is to prove that I’m the No. 1 featherweight in Canada, and that will begin September 30 at Unified MMA 28,” DeMarce says. “Parwez has done well so far, but he just hasn’t been taken into deep waters by someone like myself, with that kind of cage experience. It will be a great scrap, and I’m going to do everything I can to take that belt home.”
