Tickets are available online at Cascade Tickets and at the door on fight night starting at 6 pm, fights at 7 pm. Updated fight cards and more information available at www.thefcff.com and www. facebook.com/fullcontactfightingfedera- tion. Daniel Pihl, who trains at the im- mensely popular gym “Rose City FC” will take on Austin Vanderford for the vacant FCFF 185-pound title. Vanderford had two impressive round-one wins in 2015. This will be Vanderford’s first fight in the FCFF and Daniel Pihl’s fifth, as he’s fought exclusively in the FCFF. Pihl made a name for himself in his very first fight at Rumble @ The Roseland 65 with a round-one keylock submission over Josh Bird. He overcame back-to-back losses with a new found determination. He faced a formidable opponent, Scott Baker of Hood River (who has been a title contender in the past) and won via a round-one TKO/referee stoppage in 95 seconds of the fight. “Both of these fighters are submission experts and possess stand-up power. This fight could be over quickly or be a chess match, it could go either way,” said FCFF matchmaker, Heather Standing.
