The Cage returns for its second presentation in the city of Tijuana, Mexico to be used as the fight arena to some of the best gladiators in the region this Sunday!
Tony Perez and Juan Noriega (also promoters of Reto Maximo) are pleased to announce this their latest edition of their CAGE OF FIRE production.
17 explosive NHB bouts are scheduled in this action packed night’s card.
Among the opening bouts Jose Guardado, reigning Jr. Welterweight World Kick Boxing Champion (IKBA), will be making his MMA debut facing Maurice Eazel, a talented wrestler out of Subfighter Team that will put Guardado to the test in a not so familiar territory for the striking champion.
Marco Soto, judo brown belt and team mate of Guardado in Ensenada, Mexico is also stepping into the Cage once again to face Polynesis Jackson out of Las Vegas in a bout originally scheduled to have taken place a year ago.
Mike “The Math Librarian” Martelle, Muay Thai and Jiu-Jitsu fighter out of Canada, is coming back to Mexico for a tough challenge facing NCAA Wrestling champion Raphael Davis from Hermosa Beach, CA.
Mauro and Rafael Salomao, BJJ black belts under Edson Carvalho in Bahia, Brazil currently fighting out of Guadalajara, Mexico are set to fight in the card, as well as team mate and also BJJ black belt Iure Silva.
Rafael Salomao, originally scheduled to face Yahir Reyes from Tijuana, Mexico is to confirm accepting the matchup versus short notice step up Brandon Gushiken from Ma Du Entertainment. Yahir decided to pull from the bout just this Wednesday … and Salomao Vs. Gushiken looks to be a go.
Mauro Salomao, older of the two Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu champions, is scheduled to face Andrew Sanchez out of West Coast Jiu-Jitsu in Upland, CA in a match which promises to stand out with some of the most technical grappling of the night.
Iure Silva after his two successful first MMA bouts in Guadalajara, Mexico is facing his most experienced opponent to date in Dominique “Fallen Angel” Robinson out of Oakland, CA.
Kyle “Spider Man” Olsen, Champion of one of Mexico’s most prestigious fight promotions and sister organization MMA-FC based in Guadalajara, Mexico returns to the Cage in Tijuana facing equally experienced and talented fighter Albert Rios fighting out of Tracy Hess’ Subfighter Team.Cedric Marks, long time favorite of fight fans from both sides of the border for his talents and always exciting performances is also scheduled to take action in one of the cards main events. Another of the night’s main event bouts pits explosive super heavyweights Adolfo De La Torre Vs. Greg White. Adolfo represents Tijuana’s Entram Gym under Dean Lister’s protégé Raul Arvizu, and Greg White proudly represents Riverside Submission / Joe Camacho fight team under Frank Romero. Although both train extensively in grappling under outstanding MMA instructors… they prefer to bang. Common sense dictates not to blink for the duration of this bout.
