Fight Night Entertainment and West Coast Fight Club presented Round 2 of their

Fight Night series on Saturday, March 27th inside the Bellingham Sportsplex.

A large crowd was on hand for "The Explosion" which started off with a beautiful rendition of the national anthem and then consisted of an opening Muay Thai bout and 10 amateur Mixed Martial Arts matchups. The fighters represented local schools Sedro Wolley Martial Arts Center (SWMAC), Double Action Training Center (DATA) aka THE PIT, Kalahi Martial Arts, and the West Coast Fight Club (WCFC), as well as 2 fighters from Orange County Kickboxing (OC KB) in Irvine, California, 2 fighters of the Revolution Fight Team from Langley, BC, and Ryan Couture who was representing Xtreme Couture from Las Vegas. If that name is familiar it should be as Ryan is the son of the MMA Superstar, Randy "The Natural" Couture who was present, along with Ron Frazier, cornering Ryan.

The main event was for the Fight Night Lightweight Championship Belt and was between Ryan Couture and WCFC's Elisey Yarovoy. This was a exciting, hard fought bout that had the crowd on its feet and both fighters showing tons of heart. In the end, it went to the judges who gave the Unanimous Decision to Yarovoy.

Fight Night Entertainment and West Coast Fight Club will hold Round 3 of the Fight Night series, entitled "THE FURY!!", back at the Bellingham Sportplex on May 15th. They are also co-promoting a fight event, "MMA MADNESS", to be held at the North County Martial Arts Academy in Lynden, WA on April 25th.
