After losing his Bodog Fight welterweight championship belt, Philadelphia's Eddie Alvarez (9-1) is looking to get back to his winning ways. The explosive striker will face of against Boston's Matt Lee (9-5-1) at this ground breaking American event.  After winning a decision over Fight Factory, Stephen Haigh, last year, Lee is confident he can overcome Haigh's disciple. "I beat the teacher, now I'm going to beat up on the student," warns the competing Team Elite fighter.
Of course, Alvarez has other ideas. Also featured will be a middleweight title fight between rising star Trevor Prangley and MMA legend Yuki Kondo. Fighting out of Niigata, Japan, Kondo (46-19-6) has faced a who's who of the sport, including Tito Ortiz, Wanderlei Silva, Phil Baroni, Josh Barnett, and Dan Henderson. Now, the 31-year-old Pancrase veteran is confident he can whip Prangley. "Trevor is tough, but I've fought some of the best fighters in the world and I believe my experience will serve me well for this fight," warned Kondo.  34-year-old Prangley is a native of South Africa who now trains at the Lion's Den in Idaho. He has a pro record of 14-4 with notable wins over Travis Lutter and Kyacey "Ice Cold" Uscola. He also earned his second unanimous decision over hard-hitting Andrei Semenov in Vancouver at Bodog Fight: USA vs. Russia, and is scheduled to appear on an upcoming episode of the television series Bodog Fight: Costa Rica Combat.
"It's going to be a huge thrill fighting for the title in front of my home fans, and I look forward to hearing them cheer when my arm is raised after the fight," said a confident LaRosa. Other bouts include: Mark Burch vs Yoshiki Takahashi
