(PRESS RELEASE) -- Someone's "0" had to go last Saturday, September 22, at the Golden Nugget in Atlantic City, when Ashure Elbanna of Newark took on fellow undefeated New Jersey resident Frankie Roberts and it was Elbanna who emerged victorious via third-round armbar.
Elbanna is now 3-0. Roberts falls to 2-1.
"Ashure was sensational," said Long-time fight manager/promoter Hani Darwish of Extreme Fight Club Gym, Elbanna's manager. "He kept his composure against a strong opponent, waited for an opening and went for it with amazing focus when he finally saw it. Ashure is going to be very difficult to beat for anyone at this weight. He's such a natural talent."
Elbanna will next appear on Saturday, November 24, at Darwish's own "Extreme Fighting Championships 5: Undisputed" event at the Police Athletic League of Parsippany.
