*Please visit and subscribe to the San Jose MMA Examiner page at http://www.examiner.com/x-9970-San-Jose-MMA-Examiner - GC content will be featured, as well as lots of other MMA news, interviews, analysis, and vlogs.   Gladiator Challenge's "Blood Brothers" event takes place tonight, live from the Colusa Casino in Colusa, CA. Doors open at 6:30 PM, and the fights start at 8 PM.   Jeff “The Monster” Morris (7-5) is a finisher, pure and simple. With six of his seven wins coming by TKO/KO or submission, the Gladiator Challenge Middleweight Champion goes for the kill when he smells blood. Next in line for a shot at his belt is Rafael “The Real Deal” Real (6-13), and he’s hungry to prove that he is better than his record indicates. The fight will fight will happen this Saturday, September 25th at “Blood Brothers,” which takes place at 8 PM at the Colusa Casino in Colusa, CA.

While his les s than stellar record may not reflect well on “The Real Deal,” it is deceiving. He has fought

some of the best competition of anyone in Gladiator Challenge. His list of opponents includes notables like

tough California veterans Jaime Jara, Ruben “Warpath” Villareal, and Buddy Roberts, multi-time WEC veteran

Doug “Rhino” Marshall, UFC veterans Josh “Bring the Pain” Haynes, Lodune Sincaid, and Carmelo Marrero,

as well as recent StrikeForce/EliteXC veteran (and recent UFC signee) Jared Hamman. With a resume

sporting names like that, Real is used to big-time fights with exemplary competition. So standing across the

cage from “The Monster” is not going intimidate him whatsoever.

Jeff Morris is no stranger to hard fights, as he’s tangled with athletes like UFC/StrikeForce star (and former

GC Heavyweight Champion) Scott “Hands of Stone” Smith. He finishes his fights, and he’s not looking to let

his belt go any time soon. Will he defend his belt in his first defense? If he ha s anything to say about it, he

will.

Also featured at this event will be undefeated prospect Josh Appelt, amongst several other great young GC

fighters. Tickets are available on the Gladiator Challenge website, through Video Box Office (VBO), and at

the Casino.
