09 Jul Victory MMA 7 July 14th – Ringside Report + Wrestling Uncensored

Quebec’s #1 amateur MMA promotion Victory MMA returns on July 14th with another stacked card from promoter Jamie McGowan. Originally slated for the Victory MMA Headquarters of Academie Sportive Parc, the event has been moved to the new location of the CEDA Community Centre, 2515 Delisle, Montreal.
In the main event,  Featherweight Champion Xavier Aloui (8-1) defends his title against McGowan MMA standout Kevin Walker. Uncharacteristically of a fighter to move up a weight class, the former Victory MMA Bantamweight champion, Aloui relinquished that title to capture  the promotions Featherweight title when Michael Dufort turned pro. Aloui defeated Mathieu Boisvert twice in two fantastic bouts for both the Bantamweight and Featherweight titles. Aloui and Walker have a similar opponent in Samuel Moisan who knocked out Aloui his only loss, but was submitted in 23-seconds by Walker. Walker (4-1) suffered his first defeat at the hands of Steve Rossignol in a controversial decision that is under appeal at Victory MMA 6 on May 26th. Walker plans on redeeming himself by taking the strap from Aloui in what will be a great bout.
In the co-main event newly crowned Victory MMA Interim Welterweight champion Alex Fecteau squares of against Stephen Oppong.  With current Victory MMA Welterweight champion O’Denva Phillips going pro, Fecteau’s interim championship has now become the official title. Nordik Fight Club’s Fecteau (7-3) captured the championship on May 26th with a first minute arm bar submission Matthew Richardson. While his opponent Stephen Oppong (6-1) picked up his a unanimous decision victory over Benjamin Dionne-Houle. With six victories in a row, Oppong has earned himself a shot and now the two will meet in possibly five three minute rounds for the strap.
Samuel Moisan (3-2) and Olivier Carrier (4-3) will meeting again in a rematch from Ring Extreme 19 in October of 2011. Carrier submitted Moisan is the second round with an arm bar. Eight months later, can  Carrier top Moisan again and improve his win streak to three or will Moisan return to his winning ways? With fight night rapidly approaching we can only imagine a great bout from the two Featherweights climbing the ranks to a title shot.
After semi-retirement, Brazilian Top Team Canada’s Rob Rivest returns to action for the first time since December of 2010 to take on Victory MMA Lightweight title contender Joe Elliott.  Rivest (4-1) lost his last amateur MMA bout to now pro fighter Kyle Nelson at Battle at GAMMA 3, but returned to his winning ways at Battle at GAMMA 4 in February 2011 in a Muay Thai fight.  Although losing is his last outing, Elliot brought the fight to Alex Morgan, and is looking to play spoiler for Rivest’s return.
