St. Charles, MO - On December 27, Brawl Inc. Light Heavyweight Champion, Frank Cortez, and the rest of the Dark Horse team traveled to St. Charles, Missouri for his fighting debut in the Family Arena for Fighthard MMA.
This event was a big challenge for Cortez for multiple reasons. Frank's opponent, Jason Huncovsky from Finney’s Hit Squad, was recognized in the St. Louis area as a premier MMA fighter. This was also one of the first times that Cortez would perform in front of such a large venue of over 9,000 spectators.
The match was a fiercely fought battle with Cortez winning the fight by unanimous judge’s decision of 29-28 after three rounds. The match was also awarded Fight of the Night, earning over 95% of the votes.
The excitement of the night wasn’t over with the fight. Cortez received the opportunity with meet with and be interviewed by The Sports Cage Blog Talk Radio’s host Debo Lyn Hart Jr. before his fight. Debo was very impressed with Cortez and the team, and invited him back for a post-fight interview with Knuckle Junkies.
He was again interviewed on the Sports Cage show the next day. His interviews can be seen and heard on knucklejunkies.com and http://www.blogtalkradio.com/thesportscage.
Cortez, now with an MMA record of 8-2, is in line to fight for the Midwest Light Heavyweight title as well as will be defending his Brawl Inc. Light Heavyweight title in the upcoming months.
The Dark Horse team and their coach, Joe Davis, are very proud of Cortez’s achievements as he has worked hard to earn them.
"Cortez never misses a practice and works extra hard to improve his cardio and strength conditioning."
