Live, Saturday, November 13, 2010, at the Shingle Springs Rancheria

Shingle Springs, CA (USA): Tedd Williams’ Gladiator Challenge is proud to team up once again with Shingle Springs Rancheria to bring another exciting fight event to its fans on Saturday, November 13th at 1 PM. The event, entitled “Impulse,” will feature an exciting fight card stocked with three title fights, and is scheduled to showcase twenty pro MMA fights in all. The GC Middleweight Championship, GC Super Heavyweight Championship, and GC Native American Light Heavyweight Championship will all be on the line, and the fans are sure to enjoy all the incredible fight action as the combatants lay it all on the line in order to gain athletic glory.

Tickets for “Impulse” are available via the Virtual Box Office at http://www.virtualboxoffice.com/. Gates will open at 11:00 am, with the fights beginning at 1:00 pm. Fans can also purchase tickets for the event by calling (888) 826-8858, or by visiting Red Hawk Traders gift shop inside Red Hawk Casino. Parking will be available in Red Hawk Casino’s parking garage. A shuttle will take guests from the casino to the event.

In the main event, Gladiator Challenge Middleweight Champion Jeff Morris will look to defend his title once again, this time against former GC Light Heavyweight Champion Rick Randolph. The champ has won three of his last four bouts in GC, while Randolph has done the same. There is no question that it will be a tough bout for both men!

The co-main event will showcase a highly-anticipated rematch for the GC Super Heavyweight title. Rick Vardell lost his very first pro MMA fight to Dan Quinn back in 2002 via TKO at a GC event. Quinn, who has also faced UFC fighter Frank Mir, GC/UFC veteran Jason “The Punisher” Lambert, and GC/Strikeforce vet Carter Williams, has competed nine times in GC, and will now vie for the belt. Standing in his way will be Vardell, who has gone 3-0 since he returned to fight action last year. Vardell will look to avenge his only loss, while taking home the belt once again.

In addition, Mike Gonzalez, the GC Native American Light Heavyweight title-holder, will defend his strap against number-one contender William “Lil’ Bear” Johnson. This encounter will surely excite the crowd, and will likely also have an effect on the GC light heavyweight rankings.
