Warrior Challenge Promoter Mark Jovich is excited about this card. “The Warrior Challenge card is stacked with a talented group of upcoming fighters,” he said.  “The main event features two locals battling it at out at 200lbs, Bill Bookwalter of Lancaster vs. Darnel Haynes of Lebanon, Pennsylvania.”

Giving local fighters an opportunity to shine has always been a big part of Jovich’s philosophy.   He has a keen eye for talent and his mix of proven veterans and local up and comers have left audiences wanting more with every event, making Warrior Challenge a major MMA promotion on the East Coast.    But there is more to the Warrior Challenge than just MMA, as Jovich points out:

“The Warrior Challenge continues to grow as Pennsylvania's premier MMA event,”  he said.   “Our goal is to allow martial artists to gain valuable experience through a safe and professionally run martial arts event to include MMA, Submission Grappling and traditional Karate tournaments.”

This Friday, June 3^rd, Mark and his team will be doing just that at Warrior Challenge 12 in Lancaster.
