MURRIETA, Calif., March 8, 2010 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- ActionView International, Inc. (Pink Sheets:AVEW) and its wholly-owned MatchFights subsidiary today announced the second of two main bouts scheduled for the inaugural World Championship Full Contact (WCFC) live event on April 3, 2010 at The Rail Event Center in Salt Lake City, Utah. The main bout will pit Steve "Razor" Sharp, with a professional record of 25 wins and 10 losses, against Dave Castillo, who has a professional record of 7 wins and only 1 loss.
Steven "Razor" Sharp, who fights out of the Absolute MMA Gym in Salt Lake City, Utah, is one of the most well rounded and popular fighters in the state of Utah, if not the entire West Coast. Sharp has a fierce stand up game and throws everything but the kitchen sink at his opponents. He can also finish a fight on the mat as easily as he can with a knock out. Watching Sharp fight is as exciting as it is brutal.
"Dave Castillo is a great stand up fighter but doesn't have as much experience in the cage as Steve," commented Johnny Riche, head of LBH Productions which is producing the April 3rd event. "Steve plans on standing toe to toe and banging it out with Castillo. You can be guaranteed that this fight won't go the distance."
Castillo, who fights out of Salt Lake City's Elite Performance gym, said, "I feel blessed to be surrounded and supported by so many great people and to be competing in such an awesome sport. I am excited to prove to myself that I have the potential to one day go to the world's biggest stage -- the UFC. The fans can always expect excitement when I enter the cage. I always come to fight and I always come to win. I am constantly improving as a person and a fighter, so maybe you will see something new. I am confident that my training camp is one of the best in the world and I plan on displaying just that. My opponent Steven "Razor" Sharp is a well rounded, aggressive fighter with a big name. I think this has the potential to be one of the biggest fights of the year."
Castillo trains under UFC legend Jeremy Horn of Horns Elite Performance and trains with UFC fighter and Season 10 runner up of Spike TV's "The Ultimate Fighter" DaMarques Johnson.
Johnny Riche added, "While I'm excited about the entire fight card we have assembled for the April 3rd WCFC event, the Sharp versus Castillo fight is the one I am dying to see."
The co-main event match-up announced by the WCFC last week will feature Jordan "They Call Me Mr." Smith, who appeared as a contestant on Season 11 of "The Ultimate Fighter" fighting against "The Slim Shady of MMA" Nick Rossborough, who has also appeared on the "The Ultimate Fighter" show in a middleweight contest.
A 30-second WCFC commercial was in rotation last weekend during the live WEC MMA event on the Versus network.
Gary Nerison, Chairman of ActionView International, stated, "We continue to be elated over the trading activity of our stock and I wish to reconfirm that there has been no change to the number of issued and outstanding shares of the company's common stock since it was last publicly reported. We do expect to continue to generate interest as our April 3rd event approaches and we stage what is anticipated to be a very successful show."
