CHUCK NORRIS ANNOUNCES WORLD COMBAT LEAGUE PLAYOFFS
DURING PRESS CONFERENCE AT ERWIN CENTER

AUSTIN, Texas -

WHO: Chuck Norris Presents World Combat League

WHAT: The Frank Erwin Center is hosting a press conference to announce the World Combat League’s (WCL) West Coast Playoffs, coming September 22 to the Erwin Center. WCL, created by Chuck Norris, is the first-ever professional combat martial arts league. This full throttle spectator sport was established to showcase pure martial arts action; no wrestling or grappling is allowed and fighters are penalized for passivity.

“I have long believed that the martial arts, if presented correctly, could be a major professional sport,” Chuck Norris said. “We have brought together some of the world’s most skilled martial arts experts by region in order to present the excitement of competitive combat martial arts fighting with the thrill of cheering for your favorite team and following their progress throughout an entire league season. Each team member has only one, three-minute round to prove themselves, per half. Sports fans will love the unbelievable athleticism and non-stop excitement the World Combat League provides, in a family friendly environment.”

Chuck Norris will be available for a group Q & A session after the press conference, along with a few exclusive interviews. If you are interested in setting up a one-on-one interview, please contact Codey Allen at 512.471.3678 (office) or 512.748.3125 (cell).
