Last night, Imperial Fighting Challenge and the Muay Thai International Association teamed up to host Striker’s Paradise at they Pyramid Club in Addison, IL.

With fourteen fights on the card, the fans enjoyed a good variety of competition, from exhibition and boxing matches to fights with traditional muay thai rules.

In the first co-main event, Tu Warren from Team Top Notch defeated Julian Collins by knock out as he connected with a powerful head kick in the third round. In the second co-main event, Antonio Sanchez fought against Angelo Walsh and in what many were calling a controversial decision, Walsh was announced the winner by split decision.

In the main event of the night, Axel Mendez became the new M.T.I.A Welterweight Champion by defeating Allan Hollingsworth by knock out in the second round.
