It's a format that any longtime follower of mixed martial arts knows
well, and Friday night in Lemoore, Calif. at the Palace Indian Gaming
Center light heavyweight Justin Levens(Pictures) gets his first crack at fighting
in a one-night tournament.
Fighting under the guidance of MMA legend Marco Ruas(Pictures), himself a
multiple-time tournament winner, Levens meets Chute Boxe's Jorge
Oliveira on one side of WEC's four-man 205-pound draw.
Sherdog.com's Greg Savage brings you into Ruas' Laguna Niguel, Calif.
gym as the "King of the Streets" trains and spars with his charge.
After the mid-morning workout, both Levens and Ruas shared their
thoughts on Friday's card as well as what victory could mean for the
24-year-old fighter.
