Chris Brennan To Make Fight Debut in Mexico at

RETO MAXIMO VII - Championship Night

Mixed Martial Arts - Muay Thai - Kick Boxing - Boxing

December  11, 2005

Tangaloo Club

Tijuana, Mexico

Returning to one of the hottest discotheques in Baja as venue for fight fans from both sides of the border,

Reto Maximo VII presents its most ambitious card to date featuring MMA, Boxing, Kick Boxing, and Muay

Thai bouts. The First ever combined professional fight card to be presented south of the border!

The main event of the night will be the presentation of KOTC Champion, UFC, and PRIDE Bushido

extraordinaire Chris “The Westside Strangler” Brennan. Brennan will be making his fight debut in Mexico

coming straight out off quite possibly his toughest challenge when competing in Rumble on the Rock’s star

studded 8-man tournament shortly before stepping in the ring in Tijuana. His scheduled opponent is Brazilian

Jiu-Jitsu and Boxing whiz Joey Alvarado. Representing the Machado brand of BJJ as well as his own team

LA Raza MMA, Alvarado gamely takes on what could be considered for him a dream match and opportunity

so early in his MMA career.

Sharing the spotlight on the card is a scheduled Kick Boxing World Championship bout in which Mexico’s

National Lightweight champion, Jose Guardado, out of Ensenada will dispute the vacant 135 lbs. division

title under the IKBA presided by Mr. Danny Rodarte. His opponent is yet to be determined as negotiations

are on the table with champions from top ranked teams as Valdez Muay Thai in Los Angeles and Fairtex

Camp in San Francisco, CA.

A couple of Muay Thai Mexico National titles are on the line as well.

Omar Jimenez, out of Lozano’s Vale Todo in Tijuana and undefeated in both MMA and Muay Thai, agreed

to face Erik Osorio once again after putting him out via TKO last September in a non title match. Osorio, out

of famed Pedro Fernandez Pit Bull Gym also in Tijuana, currently holds the Light Heavyweight

championship belt and asked Jimenez to a rematch putting his title on the line this time around.

Also out of the Pit Bull Gym in Tijuana, Gabriel Medina faces Ensenada’s warrior Luis Bio, out of

Guardado’s Gym. This should prove to be one of the most exciting bouts of the night as by the time they

step in the ring in RM-VII, they will be facing each other for the third time. In a non title bout, Bio took the

close decision in their first outing last year and they are signed to a rematch coming early in November. This

last episode in their trilogy of encounters should settle matters once and for all between these two gladiators

with the winner coming out of the ring holding the Muay Thai National Middleweight title belt to his waist.

Showcasing the world class talent in Boxing that Mexico is traditionally famous for, two bouts have been

booked.

Out of reigning WBA Junior Middleweight Champion Alex Terra Garcia’s camp, a couple young guns in

Pavel Miranda (8-1, 7 KOs) and Juan Carlos Burgos (6-0, 5 KOs) are set to take action early in the fight

order. Their opponents, Juan Carlos Urias  (4-4, 3 KOs) and Raul Mendoza (4-2, 1KO) respectively, come

from reputable stables Cheto’s Boxing Club and Kid Melo’s Gym to make things even. All four rising fighters

are excited at the opportunity of exhibiting their skills to cross fans of the fight sports.

The full card will be rounded with four more MMA fights. While still in the process of closing matchups,

among the listed fighters to take action are:

- Virgilio Lozano, 185 lbs, 3-0-1, Lozano’s Vale Todo, Tijuana, MX

- Marcos Soto, 170 lbs, 0-0, Guardado’s Gym, Ensenada, MX
