March 8, 2011 – Professional MMA has never been hotter in the Houston area and anticipation is already building for the April 9th return of Mick Maynard’s Legacy Fighting Championships to the Arena Theater. Two additional bouts were confirmed recently as the previously announced initial fight card headlined by Daniel Pineda versus Ray Blodget begins to take final form.
“I was supposed to take some time off before my next fight to work on my business as well as my game but July 16th is too long to wait! I’m a fighter and fighters fight! The more often I fight, the more comfortable I will feel in the cage,” says Huerta, who will be taking on the always-tough and seasoned Nate Garza (3-3) in what will surely be an action-packed bantamweight matchup catered for the fans.
“Nate Garza is more experienced than anyone I’ve fought and he’s never been finished. I like him as a person and respect his skills. I am looking forward to the challenge and I will most definitely be bringing my A game for him.”
This could be a pivotal moment for Team Tooke’s Andrew Craig as the 25 year old fighter is fresh off the heels of one of the biggest wins of his career after submitting Jon Krik with a triangle just a few weeks ago at IXFA. I say that was “one of” his biggest wins because he previously took out none other than San Antonio’s Rodrigo Pinheiro at Bellator. Now he looks to hit the double whammy in becoming the middleweight champion for Houston’s two largest professional MMA organizations.
In order to accomplish that feat, Andrew will have to pass yet another stiff test in the form of a BCS Bull in Bubba Bush, who is heading into this bout undefeated after a dominant victory over seasoned veteran Chris Spicer this past July at Legacy. Will he be the one to put a stop to the Andrew Craig Express? Looks like we shall see in one month’s time.
