The Urban Conflict Championship, the newest addition to New Jersey's pro MMA scene, debuts on Friday at the Armory in Jersey City, and the card promises close to a dozen bouts - some of them pretty compelling. Team Tiger Schulmann 145-pound stud Jimmie Rivera is taking on North Jersey MMA's Claudio Ledesma, a fighter with a jiu-jitsu background, knockout hands and enough of an amateur record to be considered "seasoned". Meanwhile, big-punching veteran Josh Key is getting a crack at American Top Team rep at Hitalo Machado, Gold Team Fighters foot soldier Marcos Rodrigues will face up-and-coming Bombsquad powder keg Kenny Foster, and old schooler Glen Sandull and a very badass Dave Branch are returning to the cage. According to the UCC's promoter, Dan Hardy should be in attendance with a "UFC Primetime" camera in tow, but who cares about that? The fights alone should be worth the trip.
