Duane Ludwig to appear on STRIKE FORCE Pay Per View event SPONSORSHIPS AVAILABLE!!
June 22, 2007 HP Pavilion San Jose, California
Denver, Colorado based fighter Duane BANG! Ludwig is currently offering sponsorship opportunities for his upcoming STRIKEFORCE PPV appearance.
Superpowers will go head to head when K-1 and UFC veteran and Strikeforce fan favorite, Duane "Bang" Ludwig, faces EliteXC's British Cage Rage champion, Paul "Semtex" Daley, in a 170-pound limit matchup during "Shamrock vs. Baroni," live on June 22, at HP Pavilion in San Jose, Calif. The mega-MMA fight card, being co-produced by EliteXC and Strikeforce, will be headlined by the long-awaited showdown between former UFC middleweight king, Frank Shamrock, and UFC and Pride veteran, "The New York Badass" Phil Baroni, plus five other explosive bouts airing live on pay-per-view.
"It will be a tough fight for sure," said the 28-year-old Ludwig of Denver, Colorado. "Both of us bring an action-packed fighting style to the cage so we match up in the crowd's favor. It will probably be the fight of the night."
With his crowd pleasing, toe-to-toe fighting style that stems largely from his background in Muay Thai, Ludwig, the reigning International Sport Karate Association (ISKA) World Junior Middleweight Muay Thai Champion, has given mixed martial arts fans some memorable moments, including his willful run to victory over Japan's Genki Sudo during UFC 42. On January 16th 2006, Ludwig returned to the octagon and stopped Jonathan Goulet in a mere 11 seconds with a hard right hand to the chin that put the Canadian on his back. During Strikeforce's last card at the HP Pavilion on December 8th, Ludwig delivered a near flawless performance as he hammered away relentlessly with his hands and feet at Tony "The Freak" Fryklund. A former member of Team Pat Miletich, Fryklund was impressively resilient until he was sent to the mat for the third time in the fight by a Ludwig right hand, which prompted the referee to stop the bout at the 3:37 mark of the third round.
Four and a half years ago, Bang was taken under the wing of mixed martial arts legend, Bas Rutten, who observed the young fighter's talent and fighting spirit during a muay thai kickboxing event in which Ludwig was competing. Soon after the two bonded, Ludwig made his first big mark in mixed martial arts by knocking out former UFC 155 pound limit champion, Jens "Little Evil" Pulver.
Mixed Martial Arts is the fastest growing, most exciting business opportunity in the world.
All interested potential sponsors are encouraged to contact Sven Bean, Ludwig's business manager at 303-246-5237 or via e-mail at beanz4@msn.com.
