Rocktagon MMA Makes its West Coast Debut
Jul 6, 2011
(PRESS RELEASE) -- MMA fans get ready! Ohio’s premier amateur mixed
martial arts promotion, Rocktagon MMA, is bringing its highly
touted “Amateur Elite” MMA series to the West Coast! “Battle on the
Bay” will be Rocktagon MMA’s first fight event in the Western
region. The high-octane fight card is stacked with compelling
match-ups and A-list talent, including many of California’s rising
MMA stars. “Battle on the Bay” will take place on July 23 at the
spectacular Craneway Pavilion in Richmond, California.
Rocktagon MMA has sold out many East Coast shows and continues to take highly skilled amateur MMA fighters from obscurity to the National level. The popularity of this fast-rising Ohio based mixed martial arts organization has grown exponentially over the last year and they are now poised to explode onto the national scene. According to the Company’s CEO, James Jeda, Rocktagon MMA President Lorenzo Gentile will spearhead the organizations efforts to expand into other regions.
Gentile had this to say about Rocktagon MMA’s bold move, “We are
very excited about introducing Rocktagon MMA and our highly skilled
fighters to MMA fans across the U.S. Our organization has
experienced great success on the East Coast and we’re ready to
expand by heading out West.”
Gentile went on to say, “Taking Rocktagon MMA’s “Amateur Elite” series to the National level has always been part of the plan. We are ready… and couldn’t be happier about aligning ourselves with California promoter Johnny Fever for our West Coast debut. California is a hot bed for the sport of mixed martial arts and continues to produce many of the sports rising stars.”
According to promoter Johnny Fever, “Battle on the Bay” will feature many of those rising stars, including a main event title bout between two hard-hitting California knock out artists in the 145lb division. Richmond native Joe “Nine Lives” Neal (3-0) of Crispim BJJ will battle “Team Punishment” fighter Tom “Bam Bam” Pho (4-0), who trains under Tito Ortiz. Who will emerge as Rocktagon MMA’s first West Coast title holder? Fans will find out on July 23rd!
The “Battle on the Bay” fight card will showcase elite amateur MMA talent from California’s top MMA fight camps including “Team Punishment” lead by Tito Ortiz, “Team Black” lead by Dan Black, Crispim BJJ lead by Alexander Crispim, the Assault MMA Team lead by Chris Glynn, and Rogue Empire lead by Eugene “The Wolf” Jackson and many others! The main event title fight is just one of twelve exciting bouts. Celebrity guests Cesar Gracie and Nate Diaz will also be in attendance. Fight fans will not want to miss this event!
