Paragon Fighter Frank Sharipov will be facing Reynaldo Duarte a BJJ Black Belt our of the American Top Team Academy.

We look forward to a great night of fights hosted by Art of Fighting. This will be a true test against a great Jiu Jitsu fighter, we hope to show Sharipovs diversity both on the ground and on his feet.

The fights will be held at the Robarts Sports Arena at 3000 Ringling blvd Sarasota FL on Jan 24th.

Congratulations to Frank Sharipov who brought home his first bantamweight victory in the G Force Promotions Bad Blood event in Miami last week. In his first fight at 135, Sharipov maintained control through all three rounds of the co-main event matchup, and defeated Haender “Cubita” Rodriguez (4-3), a highly respected and honorable contender. Sharipov seemed to have found his niche in his drop to 135, and we expect many more exciting fights to come in the bantamweight division.

Eric Reynolds (9-0) was handed his first loss in the second of the main event fights at the hands of Luis Palomino in a knockout at 38 seconds in the first round. Retired basketball player Glen Rice, the founder of G Force Promotions, was on hand and expressed great excitement regarding the event’s turnout and the great night of matchups in the promotion company’s first MMA event.
