The September 24th fight card marks the first local MMA event in over three years, with the last event prior to the pandemic taking place in May of 2019. His opponent, Antonides comes from Ludus MMA in Petosky, Michigan and sports a record of 3-0. Oliver comes into the event with a record of 3-0 with all three wins by way of TKO or KO in less than 1 minute. His opponent, Patrick Antonides is his toughest challenge to date and I think it’s going to be a hell of a fight” says Yeubanks. “Raiden is super exciting to watch, with TNT in his hands. Steel City MMA will have five athletes in action on the event, including Raiden Oliver, who will be fighting for the amateur Welterweight title.
They always show up, put on a great show for the fans and you can tell they’re up there putting in real work” says Yeubanks of the Sault Ste. “ I’m really looking forward to seeing the new athletes from Canada, especially out of Steel City MMA. Despite the fact that there are bigger names and more experienced MMA fighters on the event, promoter John Yeubanks thinks local Canadian fighters might steal the show at his “Big Johns MMA: Every Victory Earned” event at Kewadin Casino on September 24th.
