Gladiator Challenge Newsletter "Champions" This Saturday!
May 1, 2010 Shingle Springs Rancheria Placerville, California
Heavyweight title. Wasson is an extremely tough fighter who will be challenged by a hungry up-and-comer in Thornburg. The co-main event will showcase former arm-wrestling champion Rick Vardell and the massive Gary LaFrankie in a battle of titans. The Gladiator Challenge Super-Heavyweight strap will be on the line in that one.
Also showcased at “Champions” will be local favorite "Bad" Brad McDonald (3-1). This phenom out of Oakdale, California who represents the Last Stand Fight Team. He made his professional debut on November 2, 2008 for Gladiator Challenge in Porterville, California at Eagle Mountain Casino, winning by triangle-choke over Rob Whitlock in under two minutes. In 2009, he went 2-1, delivering a Fight of the Night-worthy performance in his only loss to John Cardoza at GC’s “Chain Reaction” event this past December. “I make sure when I’m training that everyday that I work my hardest so when I go in there I know that this guy didn’t work harder than me for this,” says McDonald. “I make a lot of sacrifices because this is my life. This is all I have and all I want.”
“Champions” will surely bring exciting fight action to Red Hawk MMA fans. GC owner/promoter Tedd Williams exclaimed, “GC is very happy to bring the action once again to the great crowds at The Shingle Springs Rancheria. We look forward to tearing the roof off of Red Hawk with all the red-hot excitement!”
