Placer County Fair Grounds

Roseville, California

Gladiator Challenge is proud to return to the Placer County Fairgrounds and present world-class mixed

martial arts (MMA) action at "Point Blank" on Saturday, March 7th at. Doors open at 6 PM, and the fights

start at 8 PM.

In the main event, Rick Randolph and Steve Walston will battle for the Gladiator Challenge Light Heavyweight

Championship strap. Randolph, known for his heavy hands, is coming off a first round TKO of Buckley

Acosta at Gladiator Challenge's "Collision Course" in November, which also took place at the Placer County

Fairgrounds. He is looking to defend his title and cement his place amongst the GC elite. Standing in his

way is submission specialist Steve Walston. Sporting an undefeated record, Walston is looking to make his

name by toppling Randolph and grabbing the GC belt. This anticipated scrap features two gladiators

determined to prove that they deserve the title, and belong on the big show.

Gladiator Challenge prides itself on being a showcase for some of the top up-and-comers in the sport. With

over ten MMA bouts scheduled, "Point Blank" will feature some of the best prospects in the sport, including

undefeated studs Ben Sattler, Doug Diffenderfer, and John Bohl. The action will be hot and heavy, the crowd

will be hot. No MMA fan is going to want to miss "Point Blank!"
