RING OF FIRE 32: RESPECT!
The 12 bout MMA event will take place on Friday, June13th, 2008 at the Broomfield Event Center in Broomfield, Colorado.
"Some fighters fight for Honor, and some fight for Glory.. but every fighter fights for RESPECT! "
FEATURE BOUT: RING OF FIRE has long been a proponent of women's mma and that tradition continues with ROF 32.
Top ranked female fighter, Cat Albert will have her hands full with the Shawn Tompkins trained fighter Karina Taylor. Taylor trains out of Xtreme Couture in Las Vegas and has all the tools to play spoiler to the local favorite Albert.
ROF fans will be very familiar with the #1 ranked female athlete Cat Albert. Albert grew up competing in every sport she could. Soccer, volleyball, swimming were all disciplines she excelled, setting records along the way. But the turning point for her would be when she joined the wrestling team in high school. Albert was was the lone female wrestler on the Boulder County Fairview High School squad. And just like all other sports, she performed at the highest level. Once out of school, she discovered Jiujitsu and found it to be a great way of staying in shape and complimented her skill set. BJJ led to MMA and the rest, as they say, is history.
Albert's opponent Karina Taylor also found the martial arts as a great way to keep in shape. The Las Vegas fighter bounced from gym to gym, losing nearly 30 pounds along the way. Originally starting with LA Boxing, Taylor migrated from camp to camp training with some of the sport's best trainers. Muay Thai legend Master Toddy, and UFC veteran Tony Fryklund both have honed her striking skills. Taylor has now found a home at the world famous Xtreme Couture and is under the watchful eye of Shawn Tompkins. Tompkins has been a coach for the IFL and is widely regarded as one of the best trainers in the world.
Karina Taylor: "I am excited to be on the Ring Of Fire! I know it is one of the greatest promotions in the sport. I also know that Cat is a very tough grappler and has a great record. I have more of a stand up background, but my coach has seen Cat fight and I trust in his game plan. I really just want to go out there and have a great fight and show the fans that the women fight just as hard as the guys."
Cat Albert: "I have had a great training camp for this fight. I have worked with Oscar Martinez a lot on my muay thai and boxing. I am getting really comfortable on my feet and have no problem with just standing and going toe to toe. I know that if it goes to the ground I'll be just fine, so I won't be afraid to let the fists go. My training has been great, and I have focused on more cardio adding swimming and a lot more running to my program. I will be in shape on the 13th, and I will be ready!"
