This card will also headline our second triple header title show, showcasing 3 title fights on this card once again. In our Main Event we have Sepp Maier vs Emo Elmo III. With the first fight being a lopsided victory for the champ, Maier, Elmo worked his way back up to the title and gave Maier a run for his money on the second outing. It is likely that this fight will be even closer then it was the last time they fought. But will we have a returning champion in Maier, or will Elmo be our new middle weight champ? In our Co-Main Event we have a light weight title with two of SP-ICONS top LW fighters, Cottero vs Belvedere. Our third title fight will be between two Heavyweights Jack Calypso and Space Filler.

In our second title fight of the night we bring you Augustus Belvedere (11-7. 27) vs Tommy Cottero (19-8, 28) to determine who our new SP-ICON Light Weight champ will be. Cottero has many great MMA accomplishments, but most people know him as the former #1 Bantam Weight in Tokyo. Cottero decided he wanted to test the waters in LW division again, to hopefully be one of the very few fightes to be a 5 time champ in 5 different Orgs. Belvedere will be looking to do everything in his power to prevent that, and ensure he gets his first title ever. Only one fighter can walk out the cage as a new SP-ICON champ. Will it be Cottero's champion experience that prevails, or will be crown a new Light Weight Champ in Belvedere?
MAIN EVENT- MIDDLEWEIGHT: Maier vs Elmo

With Maier beating Elmo for the belt in there first fight fairly easy, Elmo built his way back up the latter and challenged Maier for the 2nd time with a too close to call fight. With all 3 judges scoring the fight 47-48 for Maier. Maier will be looking to avoid keeping the fight so close this time, but will that be enough. Elmo will more then likely be looking for finish to keep this out of the hands of the judges.
