SALEM, N.H., Feb. 13, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Fans of MMA action in New Hampshire will be pleased to know that Century fighting championship is holding an event at the ICENTER in Salem, NH, on March 31st, 2012. The Main Event pits 15-time UFC veteran Marcus "The Irish Hand Grenade" Davis against 2-time Bellator fighter Matt Sung Lee. The Massachusetts resident Lee is coming off of a "Fight of the Night" win in November over veteran Tiawan Howard, following a bloody battle at Bellator with Ben Saunders.
