Shark Fights Arrives in Nevada on Friday, August 19- 7:00PM PT / Doors open at 6:00PM PT
John Ascuaga's Nugget Casino Resort; Sparks, NV
In the main event, coming off of a 15 month layoff before his submission victory over Jai Bradney in March, popular Ultimate Fighter 8 and UFC vet "Sugar" Shane Nelson (13-5) looks to lengthen his winning streak. Nelson holds notable wins over George Roop and a 44 second TKO win over Aaron Riley in the UFC. His opponent, former King of the Cage Champion Aaron "Slam" Wetherspoon (8-3), holds notable victories over Jeremiah Metcalf, Laverne Clark, and Thomas Kenny. In February, coming off of his own 2 year layoff, Wetherspoon returned to MMA with a decision victory over Nick Reale.
In the co-main event, on a 3-fight win streak with a recent submission win over King of the Cage Champion Tony Lopez, 6'6" Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu Black Belt sensation Ricky "Ice Cold" Shivers (10-5-1) tests his ground skills against the hard-hitting, fast rising super-star Emanual "Hardcore Kid" Newton (15-6-1). Newton, on a 3-fight win streak of his own, comes in to Shark Fights 18 with a hard fought decision victory over Ilir Latifi at Shark Fights 17.
