Tom Jablonski, VP and Manager of Mad Bomber Productions said, "We decided back in 2006 to start our own production company which evolved into doing our own promotions. This will be Mad Bomber Productions first promotional fight. Jablonski said, "This is a great opportunity for us, we want to thank Promoter, Greg Ahrens and Art Dore without them this wouldn't be possible." Jablonski added, "This is the first time we will be the home-town favorite, we are use to being the opponent, so this will be a nice change for us."
According to Steve Samborn, Head Trainer, Peterson trains hard 6 days a week and is very dedicated and very self motivated. A normal day for Cory is a morning work out at the YMCA for 2 hours, with cardio, including swimming and sauna. Then Cory runs with his brother Scott Peterson about 3 to 5 miles a day. At 6:00 pm till 9:00 pm Cory works out at the gym. Peterson runs 8 miles with the Bay Area Runners Club on Tuesdays. "There are about 20 of us. There are high school kids, older people, young people. It's a great group," Peterson said.
