FloCombat will LIVE-STREAM Atlas Fights 27 this Saturday, May 14, at 8PM from the IP Casino Resort & Spa in Biloxi, Mississippi.
Atlas Fights strives to bring the best professional and semi-pro fights to the Mississippi Gulf Coast, and this weekend will be no different. The main event will complete the trilogy between two of the top 135-pounders from the area when Aaron Williams (25-23) and Chris Pham (4-4) get after it one more time.
Pham, a Bellator veteran, got the best of Williams in the first fight by scoring a lightning-fast, 28-second knockout at Atlas Fights 22. Afterward, Williams called for a rematch, which took place last year at the Golden Nugget for the Bantamweight Championship. Williams walked away with the title. In the rematch at Atlas Fights 24, Williams, a 48-fight submission specialist, got revenge on Pham with a five-round, unanimous-decision victory.
Regardless of the outcome, the tie will be broken Saturday, but there will be no title on the line. “Yoda” Williams dropped the belt in a fight to Jonathan Mackles by submission at Atlas Fights 26.
Three other fights worth watching Saturday include:
Omar Johnson vs. Josh Davila
In the co-main event of the evening, we'll see a lightweight clash. Johnson, primarily a striker, will put his undefeated professional record on the line in his promotional debut. Davila, who fights out of Baton Rouge and team Gracie United, will try to earn a big win and push his pro record toward the .500 mark.
DeMarcus Sharpe vs. RJ Summerlin
Sharpe is looking to pick up his first professional win after putting together an amateur record of 5-1. Summerlin, who fought at heavyweight and light heavyweight, will drop to middleweight for his second professional fight. Summerlin, out of Pensacola, Florida, will look to move his professional record to 2-0 on Saturday night.
Billy Bradshaw vs. Roland Landry
Bradshaw, with an amateur record of four wins and seven losses on a five-fight losing streak, wants to get back in the win column as he takes on Slidell, Louisiana, native Roland Landry. The latter is a powerful lightweight who is coming off two-straight sub-one-minute TKOs. He's looking to make that three in a row this weekend.
Official weigh-ins, which are open to the public, will take place Friday, May 13, at the Chill Ultra Lounge located on first floor of the I.P. Casino at 6:00PM. The Chill Ultra Lounge is the official after-party location directly following the fights on Saturday night.
