Gladiator Challenge Newsletter Gladiator Challenge Welterweight World Championship Belt On The Line As Gladiator Challenge Presents "Retaliate"
August 29, 2009 Wendover Nugget Casino Wendover, Nevada
The much anticipated main event will feature current GC Welterweight Champion, Jake “The Snake” Paul (13 - 13), defending his title belt in a rematch against Lee Doss (12 - 9). The two squared off this past June, in a match in which Paul TKO’d (punches) Doss, finishing him in the second round.
Controversy brewed after the fight, as questions arose regarding Paul’s personal relationship (supposed training partner) with the fight’s referee. Those rumors have since been squelched, as both fighters are ready to get it on.
“This guy is a joke [...] I beat him silly June 13th and I will beat him silly again August 29th,” said Paul.
Paul is a well-rounded fighter who is equally liable to knock out his opponent as he is to submit them. He’s won four of his past six fights, and will be looking to push his win streak to three with a victory.
Doss is a striker that is willing to trade blows with anyone in the business. He sports an impressive knockout record of eight (T)KOs in his 12 wins (66.67%).
Former UFC fighter Andy Wang will also be featured at the event, which w ill again be taking place at the Wendover Nugget. The doors open at 5:00 P.M., with fights beginning at 7:00 P.M. Information on the Wendover Nugget Hotel & Casino can be found at www.wendovernugget.com. MMA fans can purchase tickets to “Retaliate” at www.virtualboxoffice.com, or call (888) 826-8858.
