It looks like Pat smith might be coming back sooner then expected. His manager and promoter of the Ring of Fire events in Colorado has told MMA Ring Report that Pat Smith will be fighting in two weeks at his upcoming Ring of Fire 10 event on October 18th. Pat Smith last fought in 1999 losing to Marcus Silvera at WEC 6 so he will have been away from the game for a total of 4 years! He will take on a competitor by the name of Allan A-Dawg" Sullivan. Sullivan lost to Jeff Newton at KOTC 25 and most recently competed at the IFC 8 man tournament card winning once and losing to Tom Sauer. Sullivan has a journeymans record but he has been active of late so Pat Smith should have his work cut out for him. It will be interesting to see what interest the UFC will have in Pat Smith considering their recent string of bringing back the pioneers of the sport. The TKO organization is also said to be very interested in bringing Pat Smith into the fold and are interested in matching him up with Paul Dube who is a Local Heavyweight boxer out of Quebec. The Full Ring of Fire card is as follows.
RIng of Fire 10
Saturday October 18th, 2003
Douglas County Events Center, Castle Rock, CO
Doors at 6:30, first bout at 7:30 pm
On Saturday October 18th, 2003 the region's top fight promotion, RING OF FIRE, makes it return to the Douglas County Events Center for it's tenth installment of the popular series. The state of the art facility will host 12 action packed bouts featuring a ROF Title bout in the main event. Headlining the show will be former KOTC Light Weight Champion and BJJ Black Belt Alberto Crane facing off against 6 time Brazilian National Submission Wrestling Champion Christian Carvahlo from Manaus, Brazil. This match is a classic BJJ vs. Luta Livre match up. The winner will walk away with the RING OF FIRE Rocky Mountain Light Weight Belt and will be first in line to face champion Leonard Garcia early next year.
In the Super fight of the night UFC veteran Pat Smith makes his long awaited return to the ring. Stepping up against Pat is the ever ready Allan A-Dawg Sullivan from Phoenix, Arizona. Smith is a long time veteran of the game making his MMA debut way back at UFC #1. He has been on a 4 year hiatus and in true ROCKY fashion has sought out long time rival Clarence "The Legend" Thatch to help him get ready for his comeback. A-Dawg Sullivan will be giving up some 20 pounds to face Smith, but the tough Arizona fighter has many wins against the heavyweights in his 27 fight career.
Canadian Thai fighter Nick THE ITALIAN STALLION Rondinelli will make the trip down from the great white north to face ISKA Regional Champion Cruz THE SAINT Chacon in a 5 round Professional Muay Thai fight fought under K-1 rules.
Rounding out the feature fights will be a battle of the young guns. Fabian THE FREAK Acuna (3-1-1) and Danny Jung (4-1-1) have been on a collision course for over a year now. On the 18th we will all find out who will be the top up and coming 155 lb fighter in the region and gain some bragging rights along the way.
Colorado, Wyoming, Nebraska, New Mexico, Arizona, Canada, Chile and Brazil will all be represented by fighters on this talented stacked card.
