Orthrus Promotions Presents ‘Triple A MMA V: Redemption at the Rock’ in Albuquerque, New Mexico March 29

Albuquerque, NM (February 14, 2014) – Fast-rising mixed martial arts promotion, Triple A MMA, makes its way back to New Mexico after their long-awaited and  very successful Texas debut.  Orthrus Promotions is proud to present ‘Triple A MMA V: Redemption at the Rock’ on Saturday March 29, 2014.  The event will take place at the Camel Rock Casino Event Center in Albuquerque, New Mexico. Tickets are on sale now and can be purchased at www.TripleAMMA.com or by calling 505-508-0876.

According to C.O.O., J.R. Rodriguez, “Our Texas debut went extremely well. It was definitely a great way to kick off 2014! We are very excited to follow up our Texas debut with a premium MMA event in our home state of New Mexico. The card is stacked with elite talent and the Camel Rock Casino is a great venue. Fans are in for a treat! ” 

In the night's headlining contest, Pojoaque native Angelo “San I Warrior” Sanchez (11-5) meets Jackson-Winklejohn’s Gabriel “Moggly” Benitez (15-4). Sanchez, a one-time Bellator MMA veteran, looks to kick off 2014 with an impressive win over Benitez, who is arguably his toughest opponent to date.  Sanchez plans to make a statement by finishing Benitez early on, but it will not be an easy task. Benitez, a hard-hitting Tijuana native, currently has a 93% finishing rate and boasts fifteen professional victories.  

The co-main event featuring featherweight sluggers Andres “The Bullet” Quintana (4-1) and Derek Perez (4-2), promises to be just as exciting! This well-matched bout undoubtedly has fight of the night potential. Fans can expect an all out war when these explosive featherweight’s clash in the cage!

Quintana, who trains with Luttrell’s MMA camp in the Rio Rancho area, will be stepping into the cage for the first time in over a year. Quintana plans to shake off the cage rust with a win over Perez, a tough Los Lunas native. Perez, who owns and operates Perez Fighting System, will look to play spoiler and improve his record to (5 – 2).

Not only will the night's eleven bout-fight card showcase many of the Southwest’s top MMA contenders, Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu Black-Belts Quinn Mulhern (Gracie Barra-NM) and Josh Lanier (Hybrid Jiu-Jitsu) will compete in New Mexico’s first ever No-Gi  Superfight, brought to you by Combat Sports Club. 

Mulhern, who recently announced his retirement from MMA/UFC action, looks to keep his competitive juices flowing by taking on fellow BJJ contender Josh Lanier in a winner take all, submission only bout.  Lanier, who also recently retired from MMA/Bellator action, will look to cement his grappling skills within the New Mexico Combat Sports community by defeating Jiu-Jitsu with the Gracie-Barra NM Professor.

Brandon Farran Steps in on Short Notice to Take on Mike Bronzoulis at Triple A MMA IV ‘Caged Hostility’

Albuquerque, NM. (January 9, 2014) – Triple A MMA executives announced today that Charles Byrd has pulled out of his Triple A MMA IV ‘Caged Hostility’ main event bout against Mike Bronzoulis. Brandon Farran has stepped in on short notice to take on the Fight Master reality star. Triple A MMA IV ‘Caged Hostility’ will take place on January 16, 2014 at the historic Cowtown Coliseum Stockyards Rodeo in Forth Worth, TX.

According to Sal Mora, Director of Operations and Match Maker for Triple A MMA,“According to his camp, Byrd suddenly came down with ‘flu like’ symptoms and therefore had to pull out of his bout with Bronzoulis. Yet shortly after we learned that Byrd had committed to a bout on another Texas promotions card, an event set for February. As a result of our findings, we have filed a complaint with the TDLR and are working towards a resolution, be it by a suspension or buyout of some sort.  It's unfortunate, but a situation we sometimes face in combat sports.

Mora went on to say, “On a positive note, we are very happy with our new headliner. It is a compelling match-up that we feel has fight of the night potential. Fans won’t be disappointed!”

Following his recent loss to Joe Riggs on the Fight Master Finale, Mike Bronzoulis is focused on paving his road to redemption. He plans to stack his fight record with notable wins over worthy opponents in 2014, starting with Farran. He is thankful that Farran stepped up and is looking forward to an exciting main event showdown.

Bronzoulis had this to say, "I don't know why Byrd pulled out of our fight, but I think it was very unprofessional of him to do it just a week before the event. I'm extremely excited that Farran stepped up and took the fight on short notice. Farran is a true warrior and definitely a worthy opponent. I can guarantee you this will be one hell of a battle! I respect Brandon and I’m thankful he took the fight, but only one can win this battle and I plan to have my hand raised at the end of the night. Let’s do this!”

Farran (10-8) is a hard-hitting slugger out of Abilene, TX with a strong boxing background who is looking to kick off the New Year with a KO over his reality star opponent, a statement that will certainly prove he is a force to be reckoned with in the Welterweight division. This bout is expected to be a full out war from start to finish. Fans won’t want to miss it!
