Journey Fight Series V set for March 3rd in Calgary

Journey Fight Series V is set to take place on March 3rd at the Century Casino in Calgary, Alberta, Canada. After last years 140lb tournament that saw Matt Embree take home the WMC title and the $10,000 grand prize, the first event of 2012 will not only feature some great Muay Thai action but will also support a good cause. A portion of the proceeds raised from the event will be donated to Sopper’s Drug Mart Weekend to End Women’s Cancer.

Headlining the event is a bout between Jessica Gladstone of Canada and Celeste Saenz of Mexico. Gladstone is coming off a KO victory over Li Hui at the Canada vs. China event that took place November of 2011 in Richmond, Canada.

The event will also feature Nate Smandych as he will be looking to push his pro record to 4-1. Smandych was eliminated by Justin Greskiewicz in the opening round of the 140lb tournament, but has recorded back to back victories including a stoppage of Mark DeLuca at Journey Fight Series IV and a decision over Kiao Jie a the Canada vs. China event. Currently Smandych’s opponent remains to be confirmed.

Sean McKinnon, John Hamm and Melissa Reaume are also expected to be in action at the event. Journey Fight Series V is expected to stream live on www.GFL.tv.
