			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Despite having lost to <strong>Shinya Aoki </strong>in a match to decide the first-ever <strong>WAMMA</strong> lightweight champion during <strong>FEG&#8217;s</strong> &#8220;<strong>Dynamite!!</strong>&#8221; event on New Year&#8217;s Eve, <strong>Eddie Alvarez</strong> is set to compete again on January 23 during <strong>Extreme Challenge&#8217;s</strong> &#8220;<strong>War at the Shore</strong>.&#8221;</p>
<p>And after traveling half-way around the world to challenge Aoki, Alvarez (13-2) will be fighting much closer to his native Philadelphia when he squares off against <strong>Naoyuki Kotani </strong>(17-8-4) at the Tropicana Hotel &amp; Casino in Atlantic City, New Jersey.</p>
<p>Joining Alvarez on the card will be two of his teammates from the <strong>Philadelphia Fight Factory </strong>with both former <strong>BodogFIGHT</strong> women&#8217;s champion <strong>Tara LaRosa </strong>and former Division I wrestler <strong>Zach Makovsky</strong> scheduled to compete as well.</p>
<p>LaRosa&#8217;s opponent has yet to be determined while Makovsky is set to <strong>John Hosman</strong>, an 11-4-1 fighter who trains out of <strong>Colin Oyama&#8217;s Team Oyama</strong>.</p>
<p>Makovsky, 4-1, is one of the top fighters competing at 135 pounds not currently in the <strong>WEC</strong>.  His most recent fight took place on the undercard of <strong>EliteXC&#8217;s</strong> &#8220;<strong>Primetime</strong>&#8221; event on May 31 in Newark, N.J. Facing <strong>American Top Team&#8217;s Andre Soares</strong>, Makovsky was declared the victor by unanimous decision.</p>
<p>Also scheduled to compete on the card is current EliteXC bantamweight (140 pound) champion <strong>Wilson Reis</strong>. Reis, 5-0, is a native of Sao Paulo, Brazil but has called Philadelphia home for the past four years. His homecoming fight is scheduled to take place against <strong>Josh Ferguson</strong>, 6-1.</p>
<p>Former EliteXC competitor and <em>Pros vs. Joes</em> season one winner <strong>Charlie Brenneman</strong> is also set for action against <strong>Edward O&#8217;Daniel</strong>.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The debut of <strong>Monte Cox&#8217;s Extreme Challenge</strong> promotion at the Tropicana Hotel &amp; Casino in Atlantic City on Friday, Jan. 23 is shaping up to have strong drawing power within the Philadelphia and New Jersey markets.</p>
<p>Already announced as headlining the show against an opponent yet to be determined is top five ranked lightweight Eddie Alvarez, who was raised in the Kensington section of Philadelphia.</p>
<p>Additionally, <a href="http://www.FiveOuncesOfPain.com">FiveOuncesOfPain.com</a> can now confirm that both <strong>Tara LaRosa</strong> and <strong>Wilson Reis</strong> are scheduled to compete on the show as well. The news was confirmed via text message with <strong>Matt Stansell </strong>of <strong>North County Fight Club Fight Management</strong>, which represents both Reis and LaRosa.</p>
<p>Reis, the current EliteXC bantamweight champion, was born in Sao Paulo, Brazil but has adopted Philadelphia as his own town. The 23-year old black belt has developed a strong local following thanks in large part to his nationally televised bouts on SHOWTIME but also because he serves as an instructor at two of the areas largest schools, <strong><a href="http://www.bjjunited.com">Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu United</a> </strong>in Jenkintown, PA and <strong>Daddis Fight Camps</strong> in South Philadelphia.</p>
<p>LaRosa, the former <strong>BodogFIGHT</strong> women&#8217;s champion, was born in Woodstown, N.J. and currently trains with Alvarez out of the <strong>Fight Factory</strong> in Philadelphia. She last competed in the Tri-State area on July 14, 2007 while co-headlining a Bodog event in Trenton N.J. Facing <strong>EliteXC</strong> veteran <strong>Kelly Kobold</strong>, LaRosa improved to 14-1 following a fourth round armbar submission.</p>
<p>According to Stansell, opponents for Reis and LaRosa have yet to be finalized.</p>
