An outstanding fight card is on tap for this show. Top local schools will be heavily represented: Lion’s Den ( Cronin, Steinbeiss, Betzold, Lester, Padello ), Seige MMA ( Salcido, Wheeler, Stonebraker, Scully ), ACS ( Larsen, Moraga ), and MMA Lab ( Gruetzemacher, Brown ) along with a strong contingent of fighters from Las Vegas ( Hulett, Fitzsimmons, Milliken, Dizak ).

In the Featured Fights:
In the Main Event, Richard Hale, the reigning RITC SHW, HW and LHW Champion, puts his HW title on the line against Mike Zanski who is a former Navy Seal. Zanski is currently stationed in Iraq performing private security and will make the 8,000 mile journey to compete in RITC and then return to Iraq after a brief leave.
Popular local fighter Joe Cronin faces a tough test against Charlie Brown ( 7-2 ).
Bodog/IFL veteran Ray Steinbeiss made his mma debut in RITC 7 years ago. After fighting in both Bodog and the IFL on multiple occasions and with an impressive recent win over 2X UFC veteran Steve Berger, this Chandler native makes a rare home town appearance.
UFC veteran and UFC TUF 6 reality star Richie Hightower faces No Limits WW Champion Eric Regan.
Chris Greutzemacher ( 4-1 ) faces Nadeem Al-Hasad ( 3-1 ) and Jeremy Larsen ( 5-1 ) faces a tough Las Vegas fighter.
Always popular amputee fighter Matt Betzold ( 3-1 ) continues on his quest for the RITC BW Title.
In what looks like the strongest RITC card in our 11 year history this will make for a fantastic night of mma action at the new Gila River Casino.
