| Running With Scissors' MMA Fighters on Wild Win Streak Ever since Running With Scissors announced its sponsorship of mixed martial arts (MMA) fighter Drew "The Master" Fickett this past August, the "World's Most Dangerous Software Company" and developer of the POSTAL game franchise has not only been adding new fighters to its stable faster than The Master can submit a foe, but those fighters have been cutting a swath through the opposition faster than Senators Lieberman and Hillary Clinton can find something new to blame on videogames. Fickett started the string of victories by choking out Josh Neer two minutes into the first round of their Ultimate Fighting Championship match on Spike TV's "Ultimate Fight Night" broadcast. In his next UFC bout, he knocked out the highly-regarded Josh Koscheck in the final seconds of the third round with a flying knee to the temple and a rear naked choke. For a change of pace, RWS next sponsored the lovely Hayley "The Hammer" Salazar, who made her pro debut at last September 30th's "Rage in the Cage" freestyle competition, submitting her opponent Nicole Escobido in the first round. With its MMA mojo working like a Trojan, RWS sponsored lightweight Ed West, who won his most recent "Rage in the Cage" match against tough Reynaldo Duarte. West locked on a brutal armbar in the first round that broke Duarte's limb and led to an ultimate victory by decision. Unable to stop while on a streak, RWS' thrill-crazed CEO Vince Desi gave the okay to sponsor two new fighters, both of whom competed in the December 10th "Total Fighting" competition in San Diego. write your comments about the article :: © 2005 Game News :: home page |
