Cameron Dollar, fresh off his pro debut victory over Santana Martinez, is slated to face off against Tap or Snap Professional Light-weight title holder Jose Luis Murrillo!  Murrillo just successfully defended his title against Denver sensation Luke Holdorf, and is on a winning streak.  Dollar looks to derail Murrillo, and win the belt for the Agoge Fight Team.

William "Jay" Jackson fought former Kickboxing World Champion and World Combat League Coach Jesse Finney on July 14th in St. Louis, Missouri.  After a tough three rounds, Finney was able to get a tap-out victory, but stated that Jackson was one of the hardest hitting guys he has fought.  Jackson will be looking to redeem himself August 18th against the Tap Or Snap Welter-Weight Champion and former Middle-Weight Champion Frankie McIvery.  McIvery has an impressive 8-1 record, and will be intent on continuing his dominant ways.  Fighting out of the Agoge Fight Team, he is one of the best counter punchers Tap or Snap has ever seen, and won his last fight by a picture perfect triangle choke submission.  This will be an exciting fights, that will be sure to leave the crowd electrified! 

Knockout artist Josh "Hellboy" Huber, representing Team Agoge, is ready to let his hands fly against Jamie Addie, fighting out of Gumm's Mixed Martial Arts.  Both are hardnose fighters who have reputations for slugging it out.  Hellboy Huber has finished five of his eight fights by KO, and will be looking to add another notch on his belt.  Jamie Addie has been training hard with his new gym, and recently defeated a tough Steven Gaylord on a denver show.  This fight is sure to be a fan favorite.  

The last time Matt DeWolfe and Spencer Hooker fought, it was for the Kickdown Classic Light-Heavyweight Championship Belt.  Hooker was able to walk away with the belt that evening, and DeWolfe has been anxious to avenge the loss ever since.  He will have his opportunity at Tap or Snap: King of The Hill, as these two meet again as professionals.  Hooker has a 3-1 pro record, with his last fight being a split decision loss to Chris Camozzi.  DeWolfe is 2-1 professionally, with his last fight also resulting in a loss.  Both fighters are eager to get back on the winning path, and this will make for a dynamic battle.

Tyler Freeland is currently the XFS Champion although this man is considered in our society  a "little person",  you can just look at him and see that he is no Joke! Ryan Axtel will have to bring his A game to take shorty and be one of the top contenders to fight for the title.  $horty will stand and brawl or take it to the canvas and turn on his ground and pound game, and if you have not seen Ryan fight before, you would swear the kid eats gun powder for Breakfast! This guy has no stop in him.  Tap Or Snap is excited for this match-up, as both fighters come highly acclaimed and ready to throw down.

Dwan West, fighting out of Joint Forces fight team, is looking to make a statement by taking on tough Pueblo fighter Dean Trinkline, representing Team Rude Effex.  West is known to be a technical, strategic fighter with a knack for pulling off submissions. Trinkline, on the other hand, is a proficient striker who can hurt you from any angle. Trinkline is coming off of a tough loss to Frankie McIvery, which was a fight for the Tap Or Snap Welterweight title.  West has been taking some time off, focusing on training hard and evolving his game. 

Danny Richards is a highly accomplished submission wrestler, having won multiple honors and recently placing second at grappers quest, losing in the finals to UFC vet Jeff Monson.  He made a splash at Tap Or Snap by defeated a fiercesome Justin Anderson by tap-out, immediately putting himself in contention for the Super Heavy-weight title.  Tony Wozny hails from South Dakota, home to some of the toughest fighters in the west.  Tony will be making his debut on Tap Or Snap, and wants to show the Colorado fans what South Dakota fighting is all about.  This will be for the Tap Or Snap Super Heavy-weight championship belt!

So are you saying this gets you excited in a buttholes kind of way??? cause if you were trying to call people buttholes you would have placed a comma behind way... but you know if you like the whole butthole thing i definately will not be grappling with you anymore even though im always in the dominant position i guess i wouldnt have to worry....

I know this sort of thing happens and I agree it is s**tty. But fighters also have the ability to fight where they want, and it is ultimatley the fighter (or manager) who is responsible for where they fight. All kinds of underhanded s**t happens in this game. And I believe most if not all are guilty but in the end fighters need to have the integrity to stand by there commitment and not get sucked in.

mrmusclemaker said:

IMHO the NME card should be a decent one. We have 3 maybe 4 fighters fighting on the 17th and one on the 18th.
Drew and Josh are fighting on the 17th and there training is going well and there conditioning is obviously incredible.(I am their conditioning coach)LOL. And it looks like Gabe is bringing Drew H up from PWIA in Pueblo and looking for a fight for Haeven. And KO is fighting on the 18th. I have to agree the 18th is likely one of the better Colorado cards this year. The 17th is shaping up quite well also. It looks like Josh is fighting Ryan Ehrlach. They match up quite well I think. Should be a good fight. Drew is hungry and on fire. Getting fast and conditioning like a middleweight. Our Pueblo guys are always well conditioned and Drew H is a good example of that. Hmm Can you tell i am proud of the PWIA and DMD guys? LOL

We seem to go through this everytime with these cards. We have seen the preliminary line-ups from The Kickdown on August 11th, and the Tap or Snap on August 18th.

Where is the preliminary fight card for the No Mercy on August 17th. I know that a couple of DMD fighters are on it and Donnie Liles is fighting. What about the rest?

How about the Big House Productions show on August 31st. I know it's a little early but I guess we've been spoiled by the cards mentioned above.

Then again, Ring of Fire has already released a preliminary card for September 15th.

What does everyone know? What about the promoters?

who cares about cruz the coward? cruz agreed to fight camozi then later after the fact he was offerd liles.cruz knows liles is a joke that chokes under pressure like he did vs cronk and at the IFL so of course cruz wants the eazy fight instead of camozi who is a more solid fighter now.

The poster for NME is out and frankly all I see is the same tired thing with a IV instead of a III. I actually feel sorry for the fighters on this card because they will be fighting in front of a crowd of about 150 people. Mainly corner people and staff. The marketing just hasn't been there, nor the quality of production for the previous 3 shows.

I do wish all the fighters good luck. Even if I don't know who they are, except for Drew Knapp and the guys at DMD. Good Luck Guys, I'm sure all of you have put in a lot of time to get ready for this card. Frankly, this is an insult to all of you for not releasing who is on the card. Recognition needs to be given to all those that lay it on the line.

I and a whole bunch of other fans on this site and in Colorado are going to skip this show and make sure we are in Castle Rock to witness a spectacular card and a top notch promotion.

Sorry to the fighters but that's just the way it is.
