On a positive note the Griffonrawl Team met one of the Team USA fighters (not Dan Rawlings of course) at the ECC fights this weekend while Jason was warming up Raul could tell he had good Muay Thai skills and asked who he had trained under. His name was Raul Llopis and he held pads for Jason and gave him some punching pointers before his fight, so that was also an experience. It's amazing what a small world this is after all.GOOD LUCK TEAM USA !!!

Time:Fight Time: 8:00pm
Location:Honolulu, Hawaii

This event is one of the premier MMA events in North America to fight for. SuperBrawl has always taken place in a ring. The rules are pretty much the same as that of the UFC. This event is stacked with talent from start to finish and it is an honor for Jason to be a part of this show. Many people are saying that this is going to be SuperBrawls most star studded line up yet to date. Now on to Jason's opponent who is Tetsuji Kato from Japan and fights out of Enson Inoue's Gym called Purebred. Kato is currently 16-5 in MMA and has fought some of the best in the world including Ray "Bradda" Cooper, Hayato "Mach" Sakurai, Jutaro Nakao, and Anderson Silva. This fight is a major jump in competition than what Jason has fought so far and it will be interesting to see how he does. No matter how Jason does who could turn down a big opportunity like this. I mean a paid vacation to Hawaii and a chance to fight with all of the biggest names in the sport.For more on future shows or other various information visit SuperBrawls official website at www.superbrawl.tv/ and I am sure you find everything that you ever wanted to know about this event here.GriffonRawl FightersJyoji Yamaguchi (0-0) vs. Billy "The" Kidd (2-1)Bart Palaszewski (7-3) vs. Hiroaki Okada (2-1) Makoto Ishikawa (9-5-1) vs. Antoine "Lil Rampage" Skinner (4-3)Tetsuji Kato (16-5) vs. Jason "Dynamite" Dent (9-1) Kerry "Meat Truck" Schall (14-6) vs. Ray "King Kong" Seraille (3-5)Ryan Bow (10-5) vs. Deshaun "3D" Johnson (5-6)Joe Doerksen (25-6) vs. Riki Fukuda (0-0) Jeff "Big Frog" Curran (11-6-1) vs. Kimihito Nonaka (6-6) Rich "Ace" Franklin (12-1) vs. Leo Sylvest (4-12)Main EventTom "Trauma" Sauer (14-6) vs. Enson Inoue "Yamato Damashii" (11-7)

Muay Thai Challenge 3 "The Reckoning"

Date:January 30th, 2004

Time:Doors Open: 6:30pm - Fight Time: 8:00pm
Location:Schaumburg, Illinois

Team GriffonRawl standouts Ryan Conway, Aaron Veverka, and Jason Dent are all set to compete on this show. This will be the second time competing in Chicago for all of us under Rosales Promotions and I must say the first show was an honor and a lot of fun to have been a part of. Ryan and Aaron will be fighting three two minute rounds on the undercard, while Jason will be fighting five two minute rounds for the UWMTA Amateur Middleweight Midwest Title. Jason will be squaring off for a 3rd time with none other than Ben Yelle. Ben Yelle already holds two victories over Jason and will be looking for a third. The first two times these two have met the fight has went to the judges decision with Ben always getting the nod from the judges. This fight is actually a Rematch of there second bout which was the first time that they fought for the UWMTA Title. In there first Title bout on October 24th 2003 the fight was very competitive going back and forth between the two of them. When the fifth round had ended Referee and UWMTA President Kru Vut Kamnark declared that there must be a Re-match regardless of the outcome of the judges decision because he felt there was still some unfinished business between Jason and Ben. Now fast foward a couple months and here we go again only this time it will be Jason's turn to bring home the Title. To the right you will notice the poster of this upcoming event so if you need any Info on Tickects or anything else just call the number on the poster or can e-mail me at jdent@alltel.net with any questions you may have regarding this show. As a matter of fact this Promotion has got its own website and you can view it at www.chicagomuaythai.com/ for additional information.P.S.
