Modern Gladiators are brought by King Of The Ring

The 'fight bug' is definitely not getting out of the gym - at least not with guys like Billy Frezza and Omar Santiago. They've both just signed up for a fight at the King of the Ring's Modern Gladiator, in Virginia Beach, this October 17th.

Billy Frezza, KnuckleUp fighter

Omar, after his MMA debut at the AFL VI, is back, fighting at 145lbs.

Billy just had his first fight at AFL VII, is hungry for another one, and will be fighting at 135lbs. His opponent is Chris Huntington (1-1-0).

Omar Santiago, KnuckleUp fighter

The King Of The Ring started when William Varner promoted the very first King of the Ring on February 16, 2001, in a ballroom at the Surfside Oceanfront Inn in Virginia Beach.

From their website:

The event was a huge success among local fighters and MMA fighting fans. With some fighters coming from as far away as Costa Rica to participate, KOTR has grown steadily, beginning to fill the basketball arena at a local university with a capacity of 8,000 spectators. Every KOTR event averages fifteen bouts in a regulation size boxing ring.

We'll surely be there supporting Billy and Omar - and it'd be cool if you could be there too.

See ya there!

AFL Fight To The Finish VII In Elizabeth City 9/26

It's official now: the 7th edition of the Amateur Fight League Fight To The Finish fight card is up, and both Billy Frezza and Gina Elko will have their MMA debuts on the 26th of this month.

Once again, KnuckleUp OBX is extremely proud of both of these students for their dedication and commitment to the training, and we're EXTREMELY confident both Gina and Billy will DOMINATE their opponents in Elizabeth City.

In the last edition of the Fight To The Finish in the Outer Banks, Omar Santiago showed amazing technique and power, in a 4-round battle that he would have surely won if not by an unfortunate accident.

Billy Frezza was supposed to have his debut then, but his opponent was too scared to show up. This time, Billy is twice as hungry for a win, and I'm really sorry for his opponent.

the official fight card for event:

1. Eric Martindale Vs. Mark Franklin
2. Steve Bontatibus Vs. Lindsey Ormsbee
3. Jamie Pickett Vs. Kelly Wilkins
4. Steve Chinners Vs. Jonathan Cornett
5. Donald Tinsley Vs. Travis Searcy
6. Jason Salvo Vs. Christian Brunetti
7. Johnathan Thomas Vs. David Prowse
8. Teruo Mays Vs. Jason Ramos
9. Stephen Henkel Vs. Billy Frezza
10. Aaron Weeks Vs. Richard "2" Riggins II
11. Nick Morrison Vs. David Griffin
12. Ron Lindig Vs. Robert Smith
13. James Crumpler Vs. Clint Starnes
14. Christopher Cain Vs. William Devotie
15. Ashley Nee Vs. Gina Elko
16. Nick Tellez Vs. John White
17. Zed Mitchell Vs. Joshua Munden
18. Wayne Hunter Vs. Mike Kellar

The event will be held at 110 Westover St. Elizabeth City, NC 27909, in the National Guard Armory.

We hope to see you there to support our fighters!

Billy Frezza Will Be Debuting In The First MMA Cage Fight In The Outer Banks

KnuckleUp's own Billy Frezza will make his debut during the first ever MMA Cage Fights in the Outer Banks, to take place July 18th, at the old SeaMark Store in Nags Head.

The Outer Banks club is proud to support Billy and he's been receiving a well-rounded training, worth of a large amateur show.

Billy has been training with all of our highly-qualified instructors, each teaching him their specific areas of expertise, ranging from cardio training to jiu jitsu submissions.

I had the honor to help him with his submission training, and I was flabbergasted by his agility, speed, and technique. Given the approximate 70lbs difference between us, Billy's ground game is effective and sharp.

A very dedicated fighter, he's commited to the training, respects his intructors, and spends an unsurmountable amount of time at the gym. If Morrison had not told me this was his first fight, I'd have taken him for a skilled veteran.

During his debut in the Fight To The Finish VI bouts, Billy plans for a stand-up fight, and according to Morrison, "He's a heck of a puncher".  Over the past month, Billy has improved every aspect of his game, and all of his instructors are impressed with how much he's been able to master in such short notice.

KnuckleUp Wants You There!

KnuckleUp is the main sponsor for the event, and we're counting on you to make Billy's fight, and the entire event, a MAJOR success.  Be sure to schedule your nights off!

The fights start at 7:00pm on Saturday, July 18th.  Tickets are on sale online at www.aflmma.com, but you can get TWO FREE TICKETS when you sign up here
