TRYOUTS
Wanted: Tough
Guys
SANTA
ANA, California (May 16,
2007) – So, you think you’re a tough guy,
huh?
If
giving and taking beatings is a way of life, or most of
the time you proudly display bruises and lacerations as
badges of honor, you may be a perfect
candidate.
Boxers,
grapplers and mixed martial arts experts. Let’s see what
you got, bro!
New Era
Fighting (NEF) is looking for tough guys to tryout and
its initial session on July 18-20 at Quiet
Cannon (AKA QC’s in Montebello) in Montebello,
California
for its “World’s Toughest Man”
contest.
NEF is
the hottest organization on the international mixed
martial arts scene, combining the UFC’s raw brutality
with the WWE’s entertaining storylines outside the
ring.
“We’re like the American Idol of combat
fighting,” NEF president Ron Kort explained. “We
will have the baddest street-fighting heavyweights in
the world fighting on our shows. We’ve issued a
challenge to anybody who weighs a minimum of 205 pounds,
as long as they have the balls and guts its to take to
be an NEF warrior. Our tryouts will be conducted under a
set of rules insuring fighter safety as well constant
action. New Era Fighting is going to revolutionize the
fight game. Oh, we’re looking for hot babes, too.
They’ll play a critical role in our
shows.”
Fighter (minimum of 205
rounds) and female model registration is currently being
held online at www.NewEraFighting.com, and those
selected will be invited to sign-ins held Wednesday,
July 18 from 5 PM/PT to 8:30 PM/PT. Warm-ups and a rules
meeting will be on Thursday afternoon and fight tryouts
are scheduled Thursday and Friday evenings, July 19-20.
Combat
fighters selected from the July 18-20 tryouts will
automatically advance to the next round, where they will
fight each other in a tournament format to eventually
determine 10 survivors. The 10 tryout survivors, as well
as fighters already signed to NEF promotional contracts,
will compete
on a show in
several months for the right to be crowned “World’s
Toughest Man.”
The “World’s
Toughest Man” contest winner will then be offered an
anticipated $1,000,000 winner-take-all purse to fight
living legend Kimo Leopoldo, headlining a full card for
a pay-per-view broadcast live from Las Vegas at a date
to be
determined.
”The NEF
tryouts are two-fold,” Kort added. “It’s a talent search
like American Idol, but for street fighters to sign
promotional contracts with us, and we’ll get an idea
about who the favorites will probably be in the ‘World’s
Toughest Man’ contest. We’re going to broadcast the
tryouts on air internationally. The ‘World’s Toughest
Man’ contest isn’t the only thing happening in New Era
Fighting, The fighters we sign also will be candidates
to fight on our first major show, tentatively in August,
at avenue in southern California or Las
Vegas.”
Food,
beverages and T-shirts will be sold throughout the
tryouts. NEF fighters already under contract will be
available to the public for meet-and-greet sessions
throughout the tryouts. All fighters are eligible to
compete in the WTC tryouts. Do you have what it takes,
tough guy?
