Xtreme Cage Combat (The XCC), a Northwest sports promotion company is fired up to partner with High Roller Productions, a nationally renowned wrestling event production company, as together with the Silver Legacy Casino, they stage XCC6 The Western Threat, an all-pro all-out battle in Reno, NV at the Reno Events Center, Saturday, April 5th 2008. This multi-regional event is attracting fighters from all over the West to take on the best of Reno. Drawing on a rich MMA history, Reno is the ideal location to hold such a spectacle event.

Reno’s own Ryan “Darth” Bader (6-0, 205lbs.), now training with Arizona Combat Sports in Phoenix, AZ is making a homecoming for a headline feature bout against Buckley Acosta (4-4).

Cory “The One” Devela (9-1, Victory Athletics) from Seattle, WA is coming off a big win over Joe Riggs to take on Dan Molina (10-7) of Reno.

Several fighters representing Ken Shamrock’s Lion’s Den will defend Reno’s honor against visitors from Alaska, California, Oregon and Washington.

At 170 pounds, Ashe Bowman (8-5-0, Lion’s Den) will be gunning for his 4th consecutive win against undefeated former XCC title holder, Lyle “Fancy Pants” Beerbohm (4-0, Sik Jitsu, Spokane, WA). Ashe has been with the Lion’s Den for 9 years and in Reno for one year. Bowman remarks on the honor of MMA fighting,” We sacrifice our time by spending hours and hours in the gym away from our families, blood, sweat and tears, and at the end of the day all we’re looking for is our hand raised and the respect of our fans- that’s it. I’m not asking for a million dollars, I want to become champion.”

Fans know Lyle Beerbohm for his colorful fight shorts (made by his mother), his opponents know him for his blistering strikes and intense submissions.

Rick Reeves (5-3-0, Lion’s Den) attempts for another mark in the W column against Wes “The Salamander” Welch (5-4, Victory Athletics). Reeves has fought in the IFL with Ken Shamrock’s team, and says of Reno, “I’m really stoked to be here, and give 110% all the way around.”

Welch often appears as a referee in XCC amateur events, yet this time he’s on the fight card. Asked about his intense work-out regimen, Wes responded, “I practically live at the gym… I’m training hard and teaching every day.”
