Gladiator Challenge: Blood Brothers
This was my first experience at a Gladiator Challenge event or a small venue event for that matter. Got there about an hour before the first fight and walked around the place and I’m thinking the place only held a few hundred people. Moved back stage where the fighters were and met up with Mark Matthews (check out his interview) who was suppose to be fighting until his opponent backed out after weigh-ins. Mark is a really cool dude and he introduced me to a few of his training partners.
Once the fights started I was going back and forth between watching the fights and hanging out back stage. The place was packed with a rabid mixture of family, friends and fans. The 13 fight card had some very solid and competitive fights. One fighter that really stood out though was Ben Sattler who slammed his opponent several times and quickly submitted him for the win. Sattler brought his record to (4-0) using his strong wrestling background to control the fight, keep your eye out for this guy in the near future.
The guys at Gladiator challenge put on a good show and if they come to a place near you I recommend checking it out. My pictures of the event are below and if you fought on the card and want a picture just email me.
