As you might have heard on our Podcast this week, Garcia Promotions has released the initial card for Cage Combat 6, and part of that card is the first round of their new Featherweight Tournament. Round one will feature 12 fighters from around Texas.
Garcia told TCD that round two will take place 6 weeks later and will have the winners from round 1 facing off against each other, as expected. Round 3 will take place 6 weeks after round 2 and will see all the winners from the second round plus a wild card. Garcia hinted on our podcast that the wild card winner could be determined by a vote held here on TheCageDoor.net.

Bobby Powers will be fighting at 125lbs, my mistake.
The Dat Nguyen that is fighting for bailout. I assume it isnt the same guy that played LB at A&M and for the Dallas Cowgirls? Wouldnt think he could get that light but I guess you never know. Anyone know about that?
Can’t wait to see hector get stomped LMAO

I have a guy who wants into that feather weight tourney if someone pulls out. hes ready to go right now. This would be his debut ammy fight and he will bring the heat for sure.
I would love to fight Eric Caminos or Mike Jackson at 155!! My name is Eric Schechinger age 31 , training out of Champions M.M.A and ready to make ammy M.M.A debut..I already signed up for Garcia Promotions on there website.. Hopefully i could fight one of those guys and put on a show!
Eric- Well looks like boy mike jackson needs an opponent..u might get your wish
Let’s hope so man…good luck on your fight levi..
Thanks bra bra, best of luck to u also!
Were the individuals responsible for the fighting at the last even i dentified?? if so can we be sure NOT to allow them access to any other Garcia Promotion events? I’m just looking out for my teammates and fans as well as the well-being of the MMA scene in and around Houston. I’m not asking for details on the ones involved, just the assurance they will not be granted another opprotunity to hurt the scene.
