Ultimate Cage Wars Announces September Card

As if his duties to the IFL don't keep him busy enough, Krzysztof Soszynski is already knee deep in preparation for his next Ultimate Cage Wars event that he co-promotes in Winnipeg.

"September to Remember" will feature:

Lindsey Hawkes vs. Kevin Manderson (Pictures)
Jesse Bongfeldt vs. Daniel Grandmaison (Pictures)
Steve Taylor vs. Justin Doyon
Jordan Mein vs. Garret Vernoy
Aaron Basso vs. Dave De Lorenzi
Ryan Brigham vs. Andre Burkovsky
Markhalie Wedderburn vs. Jamie MacDonald

Ultimate Cage Wars promoter Soszynski announced this week several fights that will take place at the organization's "September to Remember" card. The event will of course take place in September, on the 7th, at the Winnipeg Convention Center, in Winnipeg, Manitoba.

Jesse Bongfeldt (10-4) will look to continue impressing, as he is scheduled to fight Daniel Grandmaison (3-3). Last weekend, Bongfeldt stopped Sean Pierson in the second round for the TKO victory at Hardcore Championship Fighting's event in Edmonton. The Lethbridge fighter is now 4-1 in his last five fights, holding wins over Pierson, Sean Huffman, Jason St. Louis and Elmer Waterhen. Bongfeldt's only loss since 2005 is to UFC vet Jonathan Goulet, who defeated him earlier this year in March.

Grandmaison is coming off a win over Francis Flibotte at Ultimate Generation Combat 17 in March. However, many would likely consider it to be quite an upset if he were to get past Bongfeldt. The Canadian Martial Arts Center veteran has had over 20 fights now competing both professionally and in amateur.

One of Winnipeg's more traveled fighters, Kevin Manderson (11-9-1), will take on another of the city's fighters in Lindsey Hawkes (1-1). Manderson is 2-3 in his last five fights; most recently he was submitted by TJ Grant at King of the Cage Canada's "Supremacy" card on July 14. Hawkes was victorious in his last fight, a split decision win over Rory McDonnell at UCW 8 in June.
