Landon "The Show" Showalter

"Our match maker Rich Geurin has put together some incredible cards for us," said promoter Brian Halquist, "but this might be our best line-up yet. Showalter and Davis should provide a stellar main event and having Blackburn and Caraway on the card only adds to the excitement." 

A former North American Muay Thai and North American Pankration welterweight champion, Showalter has wins over UFC veterans Drew "The Master" Fickett and Steve "Hollywood" Bruno to his credit, while Davis has fought at Strikeforce and Xtreme Fighting Championship events. 

Blackburn made his UFC debut in Las Vegas on July 19, 2008, defeating James Giboo by TKO on the undercard of Anderson Silva/James Irvin main event. 

The Seattle-based welterweight went on to score victories over Ryo Chonan at UFC 92 on Dec. 28, 2008 and Edgar Garcia at The Ultimate Fighter 9 Finale on June 20, 2009 before losing to The Ultimate Fighter 7 winner Amir Sadollah at UFC Fight Night 20 on Jan. 11, 2010. 

Caraway, a featherweight fighting out of Ellensburg, Washington, defeated Alex Zuniga by unanimous decision at the ShoMMA: Strikeforce Challengers event on June 19, 2009. Caraway is a perfect 2-0 lifetime at CageSport events, defeating Daniel Stenovich on Dec. 29, 2008 and Eddie Pelczynski on Oct. 3, 2009 with both wins coming by triangle choke submissions. 

Blackburn is slated to face Jory Erickson, while Caraway will meet Shorty Weikel. 

The undercard will also feature Tyson "Straight Jacket" Johnson facing Matt Coble, Jesus Rodrigues against Mike Riddell, Julian Erosa meeting Omar Avelar, and Tacoma-resident Natalie Evans making her MMA debut. 

First fight on the card will begin at 7 p.m. Tickets are $35, $55 and $100 and are available at the Emerald Queen Casino box office 1-888-831-7655 and at all Ticketmaster outlets.
