Jose “El Fuego” Caro headed to Team Quest


Pueblo, Colorado February 1st 2013-Top amateur 185 lbs. prospect Jose Caro will head to Matt Lindland’s Team Quest in preparation for his 2013 professional debut stated coach and mentor Gabe Charboneau on Tuesday.   “Matt has expressed an interest in Jose’s talent and physicality feeling that he’d be a valuable asset to Yushin Okami and some of the middleweight prospects from Russia  scheduled to come out to Quest in March.” stated Charboneau. “This is obviously a huge opportunity for him to work with high caliber opponents and get away from the norm so I’m very happy for him.”   While Caro maintains a keen eye on a pro debut this year he states that his ultimate dream would be an accepted slot on the tentative and widely rumored “Ultimate Fighter” Mexico. 

 As an amateur “El Fuego” racked up an impressive resume battling all comers gaining the additional moniker “Giant Killer” from his countrymen due to his twice competing and dominating opponents over 6 foot 6.  His tenacity earned him top honors and nominations as the best middleweight amateur in Colorado and fight of the year for his knock down drag out victory over “One- FC” veteran Kaleo Gambill of Hawaii.  His most recent string of wins included a quick stoppage over previously undefeated Pete Quezada on the Jacksons MMA series followed by a title win via Fight Brigade championships in late 2012.  Charboneau adds, “To say this kid is talented doesn’t do him justice.”  “He comes to fight the best.  His few losses have only been to decision with one exception and that includes his debut against current TUF fighter Gilbert Smith.  He is handsome, well spoken, volunteers as spokesman for Bully Management and other community orgs and reaches that crossover Spanish speaking audience that every major brand/ promotion wants these days.”   Jose Caro seeks to join the ranks of other Mexican greats like Cain Velasquez in the coming years and experience gained at Team Quest will be a major step in the right direction for a man known as “The Fire.”

Tori Adams added to CFA lineup


Pueblo, Colorado January 30th 2013- Top Colorado women’s prospect Tori  “All American” Adams will be gunning for the CFA tournament 145 lbs. women’s  title and 20,000 in purse money March 2nd in Miami, Florida March 2nd according to local sources.  Billed as a pseudo “Tuff-n-uff” Reunion tournament the event will feature top competitors from the promotions past this time as professionals.  Adams, a former finalist in contention for the shows crown had to vacate the opportunity in early 2010 when she found out weeks before her final bout with Tay Stratford that she was pregnant.  Since, Adams has been working diligently back toward her goals dismantling tough Invitca FC competitor Raquel Pennington followed by becoming the first female school head wrestling coach in Colorado.  The two former opponents will likely square off again this time as part of the CFA lineup.  Also on the bill are Ashlee Evans Smith and others Adams beat as an amateur and rest assured each is training hard to derail her return to mma, the inevitable Invitca contract and possible UFC pay-date later down the line. Her coaches and mentor Donnie Liles and Gabe Charboneau agree in their contention that staying and dominating the 145 lbs. division is the best strategy for Adams at this point with the eventual move back down to 135 in the near future.   Ladies beware.. All American Tori Adams is back.
