WHIPPANY, NJ (4/11/11)- Cage fighters aren't just extreme mixed martial artists with huge muscles. Outside of the ring, they can also have huge hearts. Billy Dee Williams, an up-and-coming MMA fighter, will be fighting this Saturday to benefit his friend, MMA fighter Scott Fairlamb.
Scott Fairlamb is a mixed martial artist from Butler who was recently diagnosed with leukemia. Like most MMA fighters who have left their day jobs to pursue their dream, Scott does not have health insurance and his new medical bills are staggering. He also lost all his fighting sponsorships after he was diagnosed with leukemia. Before entering the world of ultimate fighting, Scott played on Butler High's State Championship football team, was a collegiate All-American football player and won the NJ Golden Gloves as a professional boxer. He continues to train and fight everyday.
Billy Dee Williams is making his pro MMA debut this Saturday, April 16th, at the Cage Fury Fighting Championships in Atlantic City. He is donating 100% of his fight proceeds to Scott Fairlamb, his teammate from AMA Fight Club in Whippany, the training home to some of the best and brightest in the sport. Billy Dee is not a big-name UFC fighter with tons of sponsorships, just a concerned friend.
The AMA Fight Club will also match some of the donations received for this cause. To send donations, buy tickets to the fight, for more information or an interview, please contact:
