Combat event to debut in Spokane

The World Fighting Championships organization will be holding its first ever event in Spokane this September, featuring a combination of different combat sports.

The card, WFC 178, will be headlined by a heavyweight mixed martial arts contest between Tylor Sijohn and veteran Jared Torgeson. The show will also feature a number of debutants and fighters early in their career, including Jamison Hunt, Ramon Pilarski, and Orlando Morales. In addition to mixed martial arts, the fight card will include kickboxing and muay thai fights, where competitors need to stay on their feet but the action can include kicks, knees and elbows.

Based in Nevada and founded by Matt McGovern, the WFC promotion has become one of the most prolific regional-level MMA shows, with multiple cards a month in different locations. The promotion primarily focuses on fighters who are in the early stages of their career. Local fighting events like this are known for using eye-catching flyer printing and social media advertisements to attract a diverse audience.

Promotional material emphasizes the excitement of the events, saying:

“Presented by World Fighting Championships, this high-caliber event brings nonstop action and raw intensity to the region’s premier entertainment venue. Whether you’re a die-hard fight fan or just looking for a thrilling night out, this is the one to see.”


WFC 178 will take place at Spokane Live at Spokane Tribe Resort & Casino on the night of Saturday, September 6.
