Updated North American Super Lightweight Rankings 7/26/2012

Not much shuffling in the updated Super Lightweight Rankings. The only change that takes place from the previous rankings is that Matt Embree now takes the number one spot after previously being ranked number two.

1. Matt Embree (21-3)
Embree is 2-0 in 2012 so far with a unanimous decision win over Coke Chunhawat in February and a split decision win over Nils Widlund in May. The Siam No. 1 product is now scheduled to face Lerdsila Chumpairtour on August 18^th at Push Kick Promotions “Thailand vs. The Americas” event in Pomona, CA. Embree is known for his technical style and pin point accuracy, something which has many fans clamoring for a fight with American stand out Kevin Ross. The pair was scheduled to fight in May until a knee injury forced Ross to withdraw from the bout.

Justin Greskiewicz out of fight with Gabriel Varga at the Warriors Cup XIII

Muay Thai Authority was informed this morning that The Warriors Cup XIII has lost its main event fight between Justin Greskiewicz and Gabe Varga. Greskiewicz was involved in a motorcycle accident a few weeks back, a knee injury from the accident was made worse by a staph infection.

With less than 48 hours before the event takes place Muay Thai Authority was informed that it is highly unlikely a replacement will be found. The fight between Greskiewicz and Varga would have been a re-match from a few years back, a bout which Varga won.

The loss of Greskiewicz vs. Varga leaves two pro fights for the event. Ognjen Topic will face. Anthony Demaio and James Smith will take on Ryan Murray. The two remaining professional bouts will be sanctioned by WBC Muay Thai. Below is the entire fight card scheduled for the event on December 3rd.
