“Winning the ISKA World Lightweight Title belt will be a highlight of my career,” he said. “We want the belt for me and my team.”

The Elite XC veteran, Bennett holds respectable victories over former EliteXC lightweight champion Karl James Noons and former featherweight King of Pancrase Yoshiro Maeda. He is coming off a first-round knockout defeat by Bobby Green at King of the Cage “Fight 4 Hope” in California, so expect Bennett to bring the heat.

“I am not a quitter, “he added.

His resilience has proven as he has been preparing for his upcoming bout with top skilled Brazilian Jiu Jitsu trainers part of the Elite Mixed Fighters in South Florida. His new regiment has helped him polish his ground game, which promises MMA fans a more skilled Bennett.

“Training with Brazilians, I must admit is the best feeling in the world, said Bennett. “They add a lot to my art.”

A confident Bennett warns his opponent of his versatile fighting skills. There is no telling what performance Bennett will showcase.

“If a guy is willing to stand up expect a knockout, but if he wants to take it to the ground then am a punish him on the floor,” he said.

Also on the card, for the first time anywhere in MMA, “Rock-n-Rumble 3” will debut the most feared world-class grappler Pablo Popovitch.
