FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

CAN YOU HANDLE IT TO THE EXTREME?!
 
RENEGADES EXTREME FIGHTING THROW
DOWN AT THE FRANK ERWIN CENTER

AUSTIN, TEXAS –

Combine wrestle mania, a little Mike Tyson, some Karate Kid and a cage and you’ve got what’s known as Extreme Fighting. Get ready for Renegades Extreme Fighting to KO its way to the Frank Erwin Center on February 10!
 
The Renegades will have 10 different fights during the night, featuring some of the best known names in extreme fighting. Each fight lasts three rounds with each round lasting three minutes. The competitors will fight it out inside of a cage using martial arts, kickboxing, boxing and wrestling moves to best their opponents.
 
Appearing in the ring will be former Ultimate Fighting Championship Heavyweight Champion Riccio ‘Suave’ Rodriguez. At 6’4”, 290lbs, he makes an intimidating opponent no matter how experienced the fighter. Rodriguez has been a fighter since high school; he was the most highly decorated high school wrestler in the state of New York in the ‘90s. After high school, he moved to California and began to mix in a touch of martial arts by training in Brazilian Jiu Jitsu with the Machado Brothers. With this intimidating background, Rodriguez went on to defeat some intense competitors, such as PRIDE FC’s Gary Goodridge and John March.
 
Fight cards are set to come out soon with more information about the competitors of the evening!
