Ultimate Force Update Alexandre Izidro vs. Dave Roche Now Signed
April 30, 2005 Xscape Centre Castleford, England
Special Thanks go out to Ian Dean and Cagewarriors.com for the following article:
22nd March - The Cagewarriors “Ultimate Force” promotional team have pulled off another stunning coup by replacing one world class BJJ black Belt with another. As Alexandre Izidro from BTT/Ze Marcello steps in to replace Kazeka Muniz on April 30th in Castleford, England.
Izidro, the “Champion of Shooto Brazil III - Welcome To Hell 2003” was due to fight in Europe last year when he was scheduled to take on Jani Lax at Shooto Sweden - Initial Collision in October '04 (but was replaced by Ollie Ellis).
Izidro has a fine submission grappling pedigree with almost a decade of experience in various Brazilian based BJJ tournaments and most recently fishing the runner up in the Submission Wrestling III RJ/2004 where he lost to the current ADCC Brazilian Trials Champion Rani Yahya).
He is currently the BJJ instructor at Ze Marcello gym and will no doubt be keen to test his skills against the highly touted Irishman Dave "The big bad Wolf" Roche (3-0-0) who is a student of the Irish BJJ maestro John Kavanagh and has a rising reputation amongst those who have trained with thus BJJ purple belt. Roche impressed on his previous Cagewarriors appearance with a sub-1minute submission win over the tough Geordie Gav Bradley and is currently the CWFC number 1 Lightweight contender alongside the American Gerald Strebendt.
On April 30th we will see if Roche can live up to the hype or if will the Brazilian can make a huge impact on his UK MMA debut as the Cagewarriors Fighting Championships unleashes “Ultimate Force” at the Xscape Centre, Castleford.
