Cochrane vs. Brooks

A native of Kearney, Iowa, Cochrane is in the midst of a career resurgence having won 10 of his last 11 fights, including his first-round submission verdict over Jake Lindsey in their much-anticipated rematch at VFC 55 this past December. The 30-year-old coaxed a tapout from Lindsey in the third round of their original matchup at VFC 47, and also earned submission victories at VFC 52 and at VFC Fight Night at Harrah’s 3. Cochrane has notched finishes in 19 of his 27 career victories, 12 of those via submission.

Brooks, who fights out of St. Louis, Illinois, has two submissions and one TKO amongst his nine wins.

 Rounding out the VFC 56 Main Card:

Tony Ortega (3-3) vs. Terrance Almond (2-2) – All three of Ortega’s victories have been finishes, highlighted his appearance at VFC 45 when he needed just 19 seconds to knock out Jacob Akin. After winning his first two pro bouts, Almond has dropped two in a row including a 21-second knockout at the hands of Arnold Berdon at VFC 54.

Bernard Thomas (3-1) vs. Boimah Karmo (2-1) – On the heels of a 19-bout run in the amateur ranks, Thomas opened his pro career by notching three straight finishes – two of those being first-round submissions. Karmo went undefeated as an amateur and then began his pro career on a high with back-to-back wins.

Kenny Licea (4-1) vs. Corey Davis (1-0) – At VFC 55 last December, Licea earned a first-round submission victory over Gary Westphal. He made his pro debut at VFC Fight Night Junction City 6 where he needed only 30 seconds to get a tapout from Jason Pfeifer. Davis went 7-0 as an amateur and kept his winning ways on track when he turned pro at VFC 54 by earning a first-round TKO over Lucas Dias.

Scott Futrell (5-5) vs. Duane Johnson (2-0) – Nebraska’s own Johnson registered decision wins at VFC 49 against Bernard Thomas and at VFC 52 over Ivey Nixon. Futrell has won two of his last three, both by third-round TKO.

Chuka Willis (9-3) vs. Sodiq Yussef (3-0) – Willis has been on a tear of late, winning five of his last six with three coming via TKO and another with a submission due to strikes when he beat Justin Overton at VFC 50. The VFC cage has brought out the best in Yussef as he notched second-round TKO wins at VFC 52 against John Ramirez and then again at VFC 54 against Devin Turner.

Bryce Logan (5-2) vs. Jeremiah Denson (2-2) – Logan has won two in a row and four of his last five – his last outing providing a first-round TKO stoppage of Robbie Ostovich at VFC 54. Denson arrives in the VFC sporting a pair of wins via first-round submission.

Great Scrap between Burrell and Villefort.

Had a little of everthing in that one. Villefort is a scrappy fighter. Burrell was able to handle him standing and get out of some bad situations on the ground. Awesome way to start off the card.

Two title bouts get top billing for Victory Fighting Championship’s 2017 season debut

Bantamweight & Welterweight belts on the line April 14th in Omaha, Nebraska

 Rob “The Saint” Emerson vs. Raufeon “Supa” Stots – VFC Bantamweight Title

Kassius “Killa Kayne” Holdorf vs. Yuri Villefort – VFC Welterweight Title

 A pair of title bouts will be front and center when Victory Fighting Championship gets its 2017 schedule under way on Friday, April 14th at the Baxter Arena in Omaha, Nebraska, and live on UFC FIGHT PASS®.

Two-division champion Rob “The Saint” Emerson puts his bantamweight belt at stake as he takes on undefeated phenom Raufeon “Supa” Stots in the main event. The co-main event will mark the first title defense for newly crowned welterweight kingpin Kassius “Killa Kayne” Holdorf with challenger Yuri Villefort standing in the opposing corner.

Tickets for VFC 56 will be available at www.ticketmaster.com.

“These are two outstanding title fights featuring four of the very best talents on the Victory Fighting Championship roster,” said Ryan Stoddard, President & CEO of Victory Fighting Championship.

“Rob Emerson is a veteran competitor who still has designs on competing at the highest level but to get back to the UFC, he is going to have to defend his Victory Fighting Championship belt against unquestionably one of the top prospects in Raufeon Stots.

“Kassius ‘Killa Kayne’ is great mix with enough fights to now boast veteran-level experience but he is also a high-end prospect as well. Yuri Villefort has really turned his career around and is now back to competing at level everyone has expected from him.”

 Rob “The Saint” Emerson (19-11, 1 NC) vs. Raufeon “Supa” Stots (7-0)

Emerson returns to the VFC cage after successfully claiming his second title when added the featherweight crown at VFC 54 in December with a first-round TKO stoppage over Ryan Roberts. The Huntington Beach, California, product scored the bantamweight title last June at VFC 51 when he registered a second-round submission verdict against Shawn West. The 35-year-old has notable career wins over Joe Taimanglo and Jared Downing, and also went 3-3 with one no-contest in the UFC. Inside the Octagon, Emerson picked up decision wins over Phillipe Nover and Keita Nakamura, and also dispatched Manny Gamburyan with a 12-second knockout.

Stots, who hails from Houston, Texas, and fights out of Milwaukee, Wisconsin, is one of the most highly prospects in all of MMA. His stock soared after his victory at VFC 53 when he dominated veteran Jeff Curran and took a clear-cut unanimous decision. Prior to that, Stots secured three straight finishes inside the VFC cage. He coaxed a tapout in the second round against Charlie Dubray at VFC 52, knocked out William Joplin in the first round of their meeting at VFC 49, and submitted Demetrious Wilson in the third round at VFC 47.

 Kassius “Killa Kayne” Holdorf (8-3) vs. Yuri Villefort (9-5)

At VFC 52 last December, Holdorf turned in the most memorable and meaningful performance of his blossoming career. After nearly finishing arch-rival Maki Pitolo at the end of Round 1, Holdorf didn’t waste a moment in making sure a sensational verdict was in his grasp as he blasted Pitolo with an uppercut and earned a knockout win only five seconds into the second round to claim the belt. It was sweet revenge for the Omaha, Nebraska, native after he lost a heartbreaking decision to Pitolo in their original matchup – a fight he took on short notice yet went the distance in last July. In a bit of irony, Holdorf had been scheduled to face Villefort at VFC 52 before filling in against Pitolo, which ultimately led to title shot. The 30-year-old had won four of five prior to that narrow decision defeat.

Villefort, who is originally from Brasilia, Brazil, and now fights out of Boca Raton, Florida, had registered impressive finishes in seven of his nine victories, including his first-round knockout (knee) of Kenneth Glenn at VFC 47. The 25-year-old also bested Cody Carillo via decision at VFC 50. Villefort made two previous appearances in the UFC including Fight Night 28 in his home country.
