Tim Thomas vs. Andy Thrasher and Liam Harrison vs. Andrei Kulebin set for "The Main Event" on March 31, 2012

On March 31, 2012 "The Main Event" in Manchester, England will feature some of the best fighters in Europe going head to head. The three confirmed bouts so fare are Tim Thomas vs. Andy Thrasher, Liam Harrison vs. Andrei Kulebin and Andrew Tate vs. Joe Mcgovern.

Thomas and Thrasher are both coming off excellent 2011 campaigns and will be fighting for three titles. The WMC MAD, ISKA and WKA world titles will all be on the line. Thomas captured the ISKA title in Cambodia in 2011 and posted a record of 7-1-1. Thrasher won the Toyota tournament, something many considered an upset and posted a record of 7-2 in 2011. Thomas and Thrasher have met in the past, a fight which Thomas won via stoppage.

Liam Harrison in considered by many to be the best fighter out of the UK and he will be taking on one of the best from Belarus in Andrei Kulebin. Harrison's year hasn't gone as most though it would, but he has faced some very talented competition. He dropped fights to Petaswin and Saenchai, but followed it up with a stellar KO of Justin Greskiewicz in his American debut. The year for Harrison ended on a sour note
