Former UFC Fighter, Forrest “The Meat Cleaver” Petz Replaces Shonie Carter in Co-Main Event on April 11th

“Mr. International” Shonie Carter will be cut from the main event after breaking his arm in training. Carter’s replacement will be former UFC fighter Forrest Petz. Petz, who holds wins over Charles “Crazy Horse” Bennett, Sam Morgan, and Luigi Fioravanti, will now face undefeated Victor O’Donnell in the co-main event. The last time Petz fought in Cincinnati was against Joshua Burkman at UFC 77 at U.S. Bank Arena in 2007.

In the co-main event, Dale, Ind.’s Dan “The Sandman” Christison (14-6), a competitor on “The Ultimate Fighter 2,” and the UFC, takes on fellow heavyweight Marcio Cruz (4-2), a jiu-jitsu expert who defeated current UFC interim heavyweight champ Frank Mir in 2006.

The ICF’s own Chad “The H-Bomb” Hinton, owner of Cincy MMA & Fitness Team Extreme, will be fighting UFC, Adrenaline MMA and King of the Cage vet Jeff Cox on April 11th at U.S. Bank Arena. Hinton is undefeated both as an amateur and as a pro holding a 3-0 professional record and is also currently a Lightweight Champion. This will be a huge fight for Hinton as he pursues his quest for the UFC. Hinton’s gym, Cincy MMA & Fitness located on the West Side of Cincinnati, has produced many up and comers and future stars like Marcus Finch, Matt Egner and Alex Smith to name a few.

Another Cincinnati local and “Ultimate Fighter 7″ star Luke Zachrich will now take on Robert Thompson. Thompson has a record of 7-3 while Zachrich is 8-1.

Additionally, as an added bonus for all the fans who come out to ICF: Breakout, Cincinnati native and MMA superstar Rich Franklin along with former UFC Lightweight Champion and current WEC Featherweight competitor Jens “Lil Evil” Pulver will both be on hand to sign autographs and meet with the fans.
