🚨 ⚡ AMATEUR WAR INCOMING: VUCICK vs. MILLER! 🥊
🔥 Representing @theacademypgh , “The Juggernaut” Joey Vucick burst onto the amateur scene with an explosive debut performance that immediately turned heads. The undefeated 21-year-old featherweight returns to the #247FC cage looking to keep the momentum alive and prove he’s one of the division’s rising names.
💥 Across from him stands Chad Miller of @highgroundjiujitsu , a battle-tested amateur with a dangerous ground game and something to prove. After a tough last outing, Miller comes into #247MMA6 determined to bounce back and shut down the hype.
One undefeated prospect.
One hungry challenger.
Two gyms ready for battle. 🩸🔥

🔥 Featherweight Collision at 247 MMA 6 🔥
💪 Malcolm Harris (@wlkwftht0631 / @theshop_814 ) vs. Jayden Blake (@bigcheesemma / @highground_jiujitsu )
Malcolm “The Alchemist” Harris (3-1) 🇺🇸
The Alchemist isn’t just a nickname, it’s how he fights.
With a well-rounded skill set based in both #boxing and #wrestling, Harris blends striking and grappling like a craftsman. But his last outing didn’t go his way. Now, for the first time in his career, he’s forced to answer a different question:
Was that a setback… or a turning point?
At 31, with experience, structure, and a full team behind him at The Shop 814, this is where fighters either plateau… or level up.
⸻
Across from him is a problem that doesn’t wait…
Jayden “Biggie Cheese” Blake (3-1) 🇺🇸
Three straight wins. No hesitation.
At just 20 years old, Blake is surging—and doing it fast. Training out of High Ground Jiu-Jitsu, he’s built momentum the hard way: by staying active and stacking wins.
Now, he’s winning @stripdistrictmeats #MeatBucks with his performances inside the #247FC cage –– and he’s looking to do it again Saturday, May 30, inside @sunnydaysarena .
While others pause between fights… he keeps going.
This will be his third straight appearance inside the 247 cage, and he’s looking to make it four wins in a row overall. No rebuilding. No reset. Just forward pressure and confidence that keeps growing with every performance.
⸻
Same record. Different realities:
📉 A composed, calculated fighter coming off a loss—looking to reassert control
📈 A young finisher riding momentum—looking to prove he belongs right now
This isn’t just 3-1 vs 3-1.
It’s timing vs experience.
Momentum vs adjustment.
And with these two fighters… it only takes one opening.

One fighter stabilizes his path…
The other refuses to slow down.
👊 The Alchemist… or Biggie Cheese?
🔥 Welterweight War at 247 MMA 6 🔥
Some fighters are built from day one…
Others are built after they get humbled.
Evan Furlong (3-1) 🇺🇸
Furlong learned the hard way in his debut. Since then? He hasn’t lost.
Now riding a three-fight win streak, the 24-year-old Pennsylvania native has turned that early setback into fuel. Three of his four fights have come inside the 247 cage, and he’s already stepping in for his second fight of 2026.
He’s active. He’s dangerous. And when he wins, he doesn’t leave it in the judges’ hands 2 of his 3 victories have come by stoppage.
This isn’t the same fighter who debuted… and that’s exactly what makes him dangerous.
⸻
Standing across from him is a man who knows this stage better than most…
Dan Walters (4-3) 🇺🇸
A five-time 247 Fighting Championships veteran, Walters is no stranger to this moment. But it’s been over two years since he’s stepped into the 247 cage.
Now he’s back with something to prove.
Walters holds a 3-2 record with 247FC, and when he wins, he finishes 3 of his 4 victories by stoppage. With a dangerous grappling game and real experience under the lights, he’s not here to ease back in… he’s here to make a statement.
⸻
Two paths collide:
📈 A rising fighter who’s figured it out and refuses to slow down
⏳ A seasoned veteran returning to reclaim his spot
At 170 lbs, this one won’t be slow.
It won’t be safe.
And it likely won’t go the distance.
Someone’s momentum keeps rolling…
Someone’s gets stopped.
