According to C.O.O., J.R. Rodriguez, “We are very excited to bring Triple A MMA events to the great state of Texas. I can’t think of a better way to kick off the New Year. We plan to enter into the Texas MMA scene with a bang! The ‘Caged Hostility’ fight card is stacked from top to bottom with elite MMA talent. Sal Mora did a fantastic job putting this card together. Fans will not be disappointed!”
In the main event undefeated contender Chas Skelly (11-0) will face off with hard-hitting Richard Villa (4-2). Skelly, who trains out of Team Takedown in the Dallas area, home to UFC Welterweight Title Contender Johny Hendricks, looks to keep his undefeated record intact. Villa, a well-rounded fighter out of Roswell, NM, has plans of his own; to hand Skelly his first career loss.
Fans can expect sparks to fly during the Co-main event when welterweight sluggers Charles Byrd (6-3) and Mike Bronzoulis (15-6) step into the cage. Byrd, who trains with Saekson’s Muay Thai camp in the Dallas area, plans to kick off the New Year with a notable win over Bronzoulis, a Fight Master reality show finalist. Bronzoulis, who is looking to bounce back from his recent loss to Joe Riggs on the Fight Master finale, plans to prove that he is still a top contender by impressively defeating Byrd.
