"Warpath" Gains The Gladiator Challenge Heavyweight Title

 

September 18, 2010

Red Hawk Casino

Placerville, California

 

 

They say that anything can happen in mixed martial arts. Well, in

Gladiator Challenge, anything can…and usually does happen.

 

“The winner of this fight…and NEW Gladiator Challenge Heavyweight

Champion of the world, Ruben “Warpath” Villareal!!” Those words must

have sounded like music to the ears of the Native American, as

“Warpath” had reached the pinnacle of his career. Also the holder of the

GC Native American Heavyweight title, Villareal snatched the vacant

GC Heavyweight strap after a battle with UFC veteran Wes “The Soldier”

Combs. “Warpath” has faced big-name MMA fighters such as

UFC/Strikeforce veterans Paul Buentello and Mike Whitehead, former

PRIDE fighters Dan Bobish and Travis Wiuff, UFC veteran Justin McCully, former UFC Heavyweight

Champion Ricco Rodriguez, current Strikeforce star Antonio Silva, and fight legends Dan “The Beast” Severn,

Don “The Predator” Frye, and Bas Rutten, but winning the GC Heavyweight Championship has to be at the

top of his list of accomplishments.

 

In addition, this special night saw Jaime Jara inducted into the Gladiator Challenge Hall of Fame. A longtime

veteran of the promotion, Jara showed he deserved the honor he received as he won his fight on this night via

first round TKO.

 

The full results of “Undisputed” are coming soon...
