ON JUNE 18, 2011 A MAN WITH A VISION, MASTER SHAWN SHILATI AND RED SCORPION HELD AN MMA AND KICKBOXING CARD AT THE PICO RIVERA SPORTS ARENA IN PICO RIVERA CALIFORNIA. MASTER SHILATI'S VISION WAS THAT HE ADDED A BOXING WORLD TITLE FIGHT TO HIS CARD AND MADE IT THE MAIN EVENT. THIS IS THE FIRST TIME IN CALIFORNIA THAT A PROMOTER HAS MIXED THE THREE DIFFERENT DISCIPLINES. IN ADDITION TO THIS, THE WBO BANTAMWEIGHT WORLD TITLE FIGHT WAS BETWEEN 2 OF THE FINEST FEMALE BOXERS THERE IS, THE CHAMPION, KALIESHA WEST AND THE CHALLENGER, AVA KNIGHT.
