Cage fighting returns to its home in central California on Sunday, May 21st, with Gladiator Challenge: TOP GUNZ. 40 of the most talented fighters from central California and around the nation will compete in full contact, no holds barred action at Eagle Mountain Casino in Porterville, CA.
In the main event, Bryan Travers takes on Richard Montoya for the Gladiator Challenge World Light Heavyweight Championship. The undefeated Travers calls Bakersfield home, where he trains at Eric Nolan's Academy of Martial Arts. After rising to the top of the Gladiator Challenge heavyweight division, Travers, a Division 1 college wrestler, cuts down in weight to take his shot at the title at his natural weight. Standing in Travers' way is the highly regarded Reno, NV native Richard Montoya. Montoya , a student at the Lion's Den under legendary submission fighter Ken Shamrock, makes his debut in Gladiator Challenge for the belt. Travers' combination of top-notch aggressive wrestling and crippling jujitsu has proven too much for every opponent that he has faced, but none have carried the pedigree of Montoya. On May 21st, the Lion's Den protege will seek to put an end to Travers' unbeaten streak and take home the Gladiator Challenge World Light Heavyweight Title.
Also in the main event, Erik Apple takes on Steve Ramirez for the Gladiator Challenge Welterweight Superfight Title. Apple, an undefeated student of Marco Ruas, is well known in the MMA community, both in an out of the cage. Outside the cage, Apple is a color commentator for extreme sports on ESPN and for King of the Cage PPV events. Inside the cage, Apple is relentless, with only one of his opponenets making it the distance with him. Recently dropping down to welterweight from middleweight, Apple returns to where his fight career started, this time with his first title belt on the line. Facing Apple is the Gladiator Challenge #4 Middleweight contender, Steve Ramirez. Ramirez also fights for the second time in Gladiator Challenge, moving down a weight clas for this shot at the belt. Ramirez has taken on a "who's who" of the top fighters in central California, and his 'anyone anytime' approach to fighting has made him a force to be reckoned with and a name to take note of in the mixed martial arts scene.
Don't miss these exciting title fights and th mose action packed show of the year at Eagle Mountain Casino! Gates open at 1:30pm, and fights start at 3:00pm on Sunday, May 21st at Eagle Mountain Casino in Porterville. For tickets, call Eagle Mountain Casino at (559) 788-6220.
