Ring of Fire brings the HEAT!
ROF #7: MELTDOWN
Hyatt Regency Tech Center,
Grand Mesa Ballroom Denver, CO
Friday March 21st, 2003
ROF promoter Sven Bean is happy to announce the seventh edition of the popular RING OF FIRE series. The event named MELTDOWN will feature a combination of Mixed Martial Arts and K-1 rules bouts. Originally scheduled for Saturday the 22nd at the Mile High Event Center, the event has been moved to Friday night and will take place at the luxurious Hyatt Regency Tech Center, in the 12,000 square foot Grand Mesa Ballroom.
ROF fans will appreciate the new space with secure private parking, easy access, 5 full service bars, and 20 x 20 big screen to watch the action. VIP's will be seated ringside at 8 seat tables with catered dinner, champagne, party favors, and personal cocktail service.
ROF Welterweight Championship:
ROF 7 will mark the return of Colorado favorite Jay Jack, from BJJ Boulder. Jack has spent the last 18 months focusing on training fighters like Amanda Buckner and Cruz Chacon, all the while with the drive to compete laying in the back of his mind. Originally Jack's opponent was to be the always entertaining Thomas THE WILDMAN Denny of Hesperia, CA. but the Wildman chose to compete in his own back yard on the March KOTC show. Taking Denny's place is UFC and PRIDE veteran Anthony MAD DOG Macias. Macias is known for his battles with Dan Severn and Kazushi Sakuraba, and has been staying busy fighting for the RENEGADES event in Texas. This fight will be in the 170 class, which currently Duane BANG! Ludwig is the champion. Ludwig having recently won a World Title in the 155 lb class will be vacating the belt and the winner of this match will be declared the new champion.
ROF Light Weight Championship:
The co-main event will be a ROF Light Weight title match between champion Leonard Garcia facing challenger Justin James. James qualified for the spot by winning a 4 man tournament at ROF 6 in December. Fans who witnessed James fight were quick to note the resemblance in fighting style to that of the popular Garcia. Both fighters have a "balls to the wall" style of fighting that always gets the crowd on there feet. Matches like this are what the true essence of MMA is all about.
Feature Bout
The under card will be comprised of an exciting combination of MMA and K-1 rules 3 round matches. Most notable is the return of Duane BANG! Ludwig protoge Christian RELENTLESS Allen. RELENTLESS was last seen in the epic battle with 145 lb phenom Cole Escovedo on the UA Fighting 3 show earlier this summer. Opposite of Allen is the very tough Wrestler-BJJ stylist, Germund THE NORWEGIAN NIGHTMARE Larsen. Larsen has the edge in MMA experience, but Allen's combined Muay Thai and MMA record make for an outstanding match up in the first ever Super Light Weight match in ROF history.
Local ring veteran and wrestling coach, Eric TAGGER Hines returns to the MMA arena squaring off against Iowa's Aaron THE MACHINE Jerome, both guys are trained in wrestling, submission and kickboxing. This bout is setting up to be the "sleeper" match and could steal the show.
12 exciting bouts, the full card can be seen on
