Testosterone Festival Welcomes a Former UFC Champion

Former UFC Heavyweight Champion Ricco Rodriguez has confirmed he will be attending the SugarBaby Swimwear exhibit space at The Texas Testosterone Festival both August 15 and 16. All attendees can meet Ricco and if your camera can stop taking pictures of the lovely ladies from SugarBaby Swimwear, maybe you can take a picture with Ricco too.

Ricco is the first American to win a Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu World Championship and he won the ADCC Submission Wrestling World Championship Absolute Division in 1998. Ricco defeated Randy Couture to become UFC Heavyweight Champion at UFC 39 and was 4-0 in the UFC before facing Couture, defeating Andrei Arlovski, Pete Williams, Jeff Monson, and Tsuyoshi “TK” Kohsaka. Ricco boasts a 5-2 record in the UFC and a 34-10 MMA record overall including an 11 fight win streak that included stops in the UFC, Pride Fighting Championships, and King of the Cage. Ricco has recently returned to his dominating form, fighting 9 times in 2008 and recently winning via keylock in 62 seconds at the Armageddon event in Tyler, TX.

In one of the largest controversies in MMA history, Ricco faced Antônio Rodrigo Nogueira at the height of Nogueira’s reputation as the greatest Heavyweight fighter in the world, manhandling Nogueira and controlling the fight. Everyone but the three judges ringside gave the decision to Ricco and Pride officials were forced to publicly attempt to explain how Nogueira’s victory was possible. The world remains unconvinced.

Come to The SugarBaby Swimwear exhibit area in Texas Testosterone Festival - and stay to be key-locked by a former UFC champion.

Kamal Shalorus picks up Joachim Hansen…

and puts him down… hard. 

Kamal Shalorus was matched against Joachim Hansen in the opening round of the European Abu Dhabi Combat Club (ADCC) Qualifiers in the 76.9 kg (169.2 lb) weight class back in January of 2005. Kamal defeats ‘Hell Boy’ in this no-gi jiu-jitsu match after slamming him to the mat a couple of times and slickly avoiding a triangle and numerous other submission attempts.

Just more ammo for why we are early to ride on the Kamal Shalorus bandwagon. Get on board. It’s going to be a long and entertaining ride.
