Florida's #1 Amateur MMA promotion is back as Rise of a Warrior presents Rise of a Warrior 5 at the Havert L. Fenn Center in Fort Pierce, Florida on February 11. Fight fans, this card is stacked with a host of competitive fights that will include the top amateurs in the Sunshine State. Rise of a Warrior is an organization that is making huge strides in the amateur ranks and is a leading MMA organization in the Southeast.
In the main event, for the 155 lb championship, Chad Livingston (5-0) takes on Charles Rosa (9-1). Livingston has been on a tear in the Rise of a Warrior cage, going 4 for 4. Now, as the champion he looks to make it 5 for 5 with Rise of a Warrior as he defends his title against tough challenger Rosa. Rosa's only loss was a controversial split decision and his wins have come a variety of ways, including KO and submission. This will definitely be the toughest test for Livingston. An experienced grappler, Rosa presents a lot of challenges on the ground, but even more than that is he has twice the amount of cage time as Livingston. For Livingston this is a tremendous opportunity to defend his title against one of the very best lightweights in Florida. The winner of this bout should turn pro as they will have nothing left to prove in the amateur ranks. This bout is sure to be "fight of the night" as these two fighters will bring it.
In other action, 16 fighters will compete in a tournament to crown a 170lb champion. The first round will be on February 11, which means 8 tourney fights are scheduled. The eventual winner will become the IFG Welterweight Champion, receive a sponsorship deal and $5,000 signing bonus from apparel giant, Infuse Fight Gear.
