Hello HERO fight fans. Its been another busy week for HERO FC. Two great fight cards were offered, both featuring title bouts. The action was top notch as always. Before we get to the good stuff, let's take a minute to check out our great sponsor:


The sponsorships offered by FinnSubs benefitted HERO fighters, putting more money in their pockets and more supplements in their possession.


Another great benefit to HERO has been the additions of two new staff members. For the last several weeks, Bel Ciganin has been giving us lively and interesting event previews, while Vladimir Putin has been designing some cool event posters. Their hard work earned them 3 months of VIP and official job titles within HERO.


Another big announcement was the news that HERO will be live on pay per view on November 24. While most fans already know this news, what they haven't head is that this event is also the 60th event in HERO history. To commemorate this, there will be additions to the HERO Hall of Fame at the pay per view press conference.


While there are great things coming in the future, the present has been pretty damn good as well. There were two great events this week, with the following taking place:

After one title changing hands, fans were eager to see if it would happen again at HERO 41. Newcomer Doug Camcho was a relative unknown, spending the majority of his professional career fighting in Montreal. However, his undefeated record was enough to spark interest in the fanbase in Helsinki.
