“We are really proud to bring such a stacked card to the NAAFS fight fans,”

said NAAFS CEO Greg Kalikas. “This is a big event for us, and I have all

the confidence in the world that our fighters are going to bring every

ounce of fight-finishing ability they have to Cleveland.”

Known as “The Cleveland Assassin,” Chris Lozano (14-4) is a five-time

Bellator veteran who will be making his sixth appearance for the NAAFS. A

member of Evolve MMA, Lozano brings an intensity to the cage rivaled by

few. He has faced well-known fighters such as Karl Amoussou, Douglas Lima,

and Lyman Good, and has defeated the likes of Brent Weedman, Yoshiyuki

Yoshida, and Jason Dent. His opponent, Kyle “Alley Cat” Baker (12-4), is

known for his brutal knockout power. The current 170-pound title-holder in

the NAAFS, he has a big bullseye on his back, but is ready for the

challenge. “The Alley Cat” has quite a fight resume himself, taking on

noted competitors Lucio Linhares, James Warfield, Brian Foster, Drew

Fickett, Chad Reiner, and Douglas Lima during his career.

NAAFS Featherweight Champion Frank “The Tank” Caraballo (17-7) will also

put it all on the line on June 2nd when he battles top contender Antonio

“Mexican Muscle” Castillo, Jr. (12-3) for the belt. Both known for their

ability to go from bell to bell, these 145ers are sure to put on a

crowd-pleasing affair that will showcase what mixed martial arts is all

about. Caraballo is a three-time veteran of Bellator, and brings an edge in

experience against the challenger. Both fighters are from Ohio, however,

and with both the belt and local bragging rights on the line, fists are

sure to fly in this one.

Also fighting at “Fight Night in the Flats VIII” is UFC and *Ultimate

Fighter* veteran Jason “Dynamite” Dent (22-12), who will tangle with James

“The Unbreakable Heavy Hitter” Warfield (22-10). A native of Cincinnati,

Ohio, Dent is an eight-time NAAFS veteran, and he will look to protect his

home turf against Wisconsin’s Warfield. Also on the card are several top

blue chip prospects, including Johny Hendricks training partner Dave

Shepherd, Joe Heiland, Khama Worthy, and George Comer. All will be looking

to make a statement to the local Cleveland crowd, as well as to an

international iPPV audience.
