PSYCHOUT MMA ….. “BRING IT ON”
LET’S MAKE IT PERSONAL IN 2010
Can you feel it? It is that time again. Psychout MMA is proud to announce its 2010 “Bring it On” schedule. 2009 was a phenomenal year for Psychout MMA. With attendance that was better than expected and fights that were second to none, one can only imagine what 2010 has in store for MMA fans in Central Mississippi. “We really want to thank the loyal Psychout fans that supported us in 2009,” stated Psychout CFO Forest Welker. “Even though times have been tough for a lot of people, our shows drew record crowds each time,” continued Welker.
With the tough economic times that many people in Mississippi are facing right now, Psychout has decided to move all of the 2010 events back to Wahabi Shriner’s in Byram. “We held shows at the Shriner’s for a couple of year. They are great to us and we think with the economy the way it is at this time, we need to go to a less expensive venue so tickets can be less expensive as well as concession can be more affordable,” commented Brian McGuire, Psychout CEO. “Not only will the concessions cost less, but general admission prices and VIP area seating will also be lowered, which is big in my opinion. It may mean that a person who was financially iffy about attending may be able to come experience a Psychout show,” continued McGuire. “We want our Psychout MMA fans to know that we feel the pinch also, so we want to do our part to help get through these times.”
Mississippi Organ Recovery Agency (MORA) will once again be returning as a major sponsor for all 2010 events. Marketing partners, News Channel 12, Rock 93.9 and Jack 94.7 will once again return to the Psychout family of sponsors. Further announcements on new and returning sponsors will be made in the next few weeks.

The first event of 2010 will be held on February 27. Headlining the first event of 2010 will be champion Trey “Smash” Brown vs. John “Hollywood” Harris. The two guys are going to “Bring it On”. Hollywood Harris showed his explosiveness with his quick dispatch of Babalu at the last Psychout event. Harris knows that he will have a fight on his hands with Smash Brown. Look for these two guys to be in each other’s face the entire fight. It should be a war and with these two guys, surrender is not an option. Also on the February 27th card will be Brian Albin vs. Justin Thornton. These guys are going to compete at 215lbs and should be one that the fans will not forget. Albin will be out for Team Hammer Hill revenge against Thornton. Thornton defeated Albin’s training partner, Chris Wright, at the last Psychout event. The other pro event of the night will pit Corey “Train” Holder against Ryan Capari. This will be Holder’s first lightweight fight in a few years and Capari has been training hard at Alan Belchers’s gym, Remix.
The armature fights will be great fights in their own right. Fighters from Team Wardog, Outlaw, Collins MMA and many more will be competing. “We are stoked to have a main event scheduled like this to open up 2010,” stated match maker Jay Duvall. “I can’t begin to express how proud I am of all the talented fighters we have right here in the state of Mississippi–it’s crazy,” continued Duvall. “I get calls every day from every state in the South, but the up and coming talent pool of MMA fighters from our home state will keep us booked with great fights for many years to come. When we book someone from another state, they better be on their “A” game if they are competing against a Mississippi fighter and they know it.”
Other 2010 “Bring it On” dates are: May 1, 2010, July 31, 2010, and September 18, 2010. So mark your calendars now!!!

Need to mention that I think this one is a highly excellent posting. I have forever loved Mixed martial arts and it’s so nice to read a weblog that takes Mixed martial arts so importantly. I’ve recently begun to be able to get in to Mixed martial arts training myself and also I’m really wishing to be able to end up with at the very least a little bit reasonably competitive with this. Not even wanting to move straight into the ring or whatever such as that yet! Any hints when it comes to everything that I should be working on in order to achieve well. Anyhow, pleaqse do continue to keep up the fantastic content for the website and the terrific blogposts.
I’m pulling for my boy Russel Smith in the 155 lb fight. My boy’s a beast and loves what he does,….and what he does is give no pity in the ring. Let’s Get It!
Big thanks to all the fans that came to the show. Big ups to my wife and kids who put up with my mess for almost 3 months. Thanks 2 Coach John Dixson and my training partners on the Dixson’s Dungeon Fight Team. Thanks to Russell Schenck my Manager. Thanks to the bunch of friends and family that made the trip for the show. Last but not least, thanks to the Psychout Crew for another great show and the opportunity to GET THAT BELT!!!
