Wounded Warrior Project to Help Veterans
On the veteran's day November 11 on Spike TV Mixed Martial Arts
fighter Travis Lutter
(Pictures) will be embarking on the
biggest fight of his career. He will be fighting in Spike TV's
Ultimate Fighter 4 finals against Patrick Cote (Pictures) or Edwin Dewees (Pictures). The winner will receive a title
fight against UFC middleweight World Champion Anderson Silva.
This is a challenge and opportunity of a life time, but Travis realizes that there are many others that face even greater challenges than stepping into the octagon with a talented and determined opponent. It is a fact of life today that many of our real heroes fighting for our safety and freedom are facing even tougher challenges when they return from fighting in Afghanistan and Iraq. Many service men and women return home with severe injuries that take a toll on themselves and their families. Training and fighting in the Octagon cannot compare to the hardships that these military men and women and their families face every day.
On Spike TV, November 11, as Travis fights in front of many Americans, he wants to give back to the real heroes fighting to give us all a chance to pursue our dreams. This is why Travis has decided to use his fight in the finals of The Ultimate Fighter 4 as a vehicle to help those who have sacrificed more than many of us will ever be able to understand. He is teaming up with the Wounded Warrior Project to help those veterans returning from active duty that have suffered serious injuries while putting themselves in harms way.
