Former UFC and WEC light heavyweight “Fury” Carmelo Marrero (9-3) and “Juggernaut” Antwain Britt (9-2) will fight in the first round of Vendetta Fighting Championships one-night eight-man light heavyweight tournament at A Night of Vengeance in Aruba Saturday 5 September, Fighters.com has confirmed.
Marrero will seek vengeance for Britt’s eight-second KO of Marerro’s American Top Team stablemate “Samuray” Antonio Mendes (2-4) in the Shine Fights premier in Columbus last May.
Marrero comes to the tournament from a UD loss to “Darth” Ryan Bader (7-0) at UFC Fight Night 18 in Nashville last April, Marrero’s second, though brief stint in the Octagon.

UFC and MMA veteran “Mr. International” Shonie Carter (45-18-7) is still lighting up marquees and notching new stamps in his passport. MMA’s pimp will headline Vendetta Fighting Championship’s A Night of Vengeance in Aruba 5 September versus Minnesota Martial Arts Academy’ “Eraser” Derrick Noble (24-12-1), a card that will also feature an eight-man light heavyweight tournament that includes Team Quest’s Aaron Stark (8-4), “Juggernaut” Antwain Britt (9-2), and American Top Team’s “Fury” Carmelo Marrero (9-3).
Carter is on a three-fight winning run that most recently included a split decision over George Lockhart (7-3) at Throwdown III in Salt Lake City last February.
One-time UFCer Noble came up short to “Mandingo” Antonio McKee (22-3-2) in a UD loss at MFC 20 in Enoch last February.
