קלאַגגעטט, as well as Van Heerden, are known as high-action fighters, throwing punches in bunches, and something eventually has to give. וואַן העערדען (23-1-1, 12 קאָס), fighting out of Santa Monica (אַזאַ ווי), is a former International Boxing Organization (יבאָ) און ינטערנאַטיאָנאַל באָקסינג Federation (יבף) וועלטערווייט מייַסטער.
“Van Heerden is a rangy, quick and active fighter,” Claggett said. “I have an action style but, for many years, I was strictly a pressure fighter with a good body shot. נאַואַדייז, כאָטש, I have a couple of more tricks up my sleeve. His heart and durability have been shown and is to be respected. This match-up is sure to produce some good exchanges. I expect this to be a high-action fight between two hungry fighters with him coming off a loss (to unbeaten rising star עראַל ספּענסע דזשוניער. last September) and me coming off more than one fight falling through. This is a great match up. He is similar to the style of (Konstantin)Ponomarev (who Claggett lost an 8-round decision to last year) with range and movement. And that motivates me!”

 לאַס וועגאַס (מאַרץ 3, 2016) – Rising star lightweight star Chuy “El Huracan” Gutierrez(14-0-1, 4 קאָס) and his March 12טה קעגנער, לעאן “The Third Generation” Spinks III(11-3-1, 7 קאָס), are both looking to make their own mark in their 8-round “Knockout Night at the D” גלויבנס-שטריך. Gutierrez is seeking to expand his marquee on a national level, while Spinks attempts to shine on his own terms despite his spotlight catching last name.
פינף-צייַט, צוויי אָפּטייל וועלט מייַסטער Zab “יבער” יהודה (42-9, 29 קאָס) נעמט אויףדזשאָש “פּיטבולל” Torres (15-4-2, 7 קאָס), in the 10-round main event of the inaugural show of the new monthly pro boxing series, “Knockout Night at the D”, ערינג (8 פּ.ם. פּט / 11 פּ.ם. און) לעבן אויף קבס ספורט נעטוואָרק from the Downtown Las Vegas Events Center (דלוועק).
דערלאנגט דורך די ד לאַס וועגאַס and promoted Englebrecht Promotions, די “Knockout Night at the D” סעריע’ inaugural event יאַם. 12 will take place inside the DLVEC’s 20,000-square-foot tent, located in the heart of the downtown Las Vegas casino district, one block away from the world famous Fremont Street (200 ז. 3rd St.).
 The 27-year-old Gutierrez (14-0-1, 4 קאָס), פייטינג אויס פון לאַס וועגאַס, is ready to make a name for himself and Mar. 12טה is scheduled to be his coming out party on a national stage. He’s rapidly become a fan favorite in Las Vegas because of his exciting, aggressive style of fighting. Chuy’s ready to spread his wings, now being showcased fighting on national television, and expand his growing fan-base.Born in the fertile boxing town of Sinaloa, מעקסיקא, which produced Hall of Famer דזשוליאָ Cesar טשאַוועז, מר, צווישן פילע אנדערע, Gutierrez is making up for lost time. He was a baseball prospect who didn’t box until he was 21. “I played sports in high school, baseball was my first love, and I dreamed of becoming a big leaguer,” Gutierrez said. “Boxing found me. I was attending college at Southern Nevada and working, but the first day I walked into Johnny Tocco’s gym, I fell in love with boxing. I’ve watched so many greats train there and I learned a lot from them.”
“I have a lot of respect for Spinks, but I’m just fighting the man, not his family. His grandfather was world champion, but I’m not fighting his grandfather. I’m excited to be fighting him on CBS Sports Network.”
Spinks (11-3-1, 7 קאָס), who fights out of Huntington Beach, אַזאַ ווי, is not only the grandson of former world heavyweight champion and 1976 אָלימפּיק גאָלד מעדאַליסט, “Neon” לעאן ספּינקס, his great uncle is world light heavyweight and heavyweight champion, in addition to being a 1976 אָלימפּיק גאָלד מעדאַליסט, מיכאל ספּינקס. And young Leon, ווער זיך 28 this past Valentine’s Day, is also the nephew of former 2-division world champion Cory Spinks.
 His familiar last name in boxing has been a blessing, albeit one that has also put a lot of pressure on Leon. “Things have always been that way (דרוק) because I’m named after my grandfather, ‘Pops,'” Leon III explained. “From the beginning of my pro career, I was put in tough fights because of my name, just tough fights…real wars.
“I got to 8-0 but that hurt me because I couldn’t get good fights. But I’ve always really been my own man. This is a very, זייער, very big event for me, my family will be in the house supporting me.”

לאַס וועגאַס, נעוואַדאַ – המתים פייטינג אַלליאַנסע (רפאַ) president Ed Soares announced today that the RFA will be returning to South Dakota in April and is set to crown its first light-heavyweight champion and a new bantamweight champion. אין די הויפּט געשעעניש, Devin “Brown Bear” Clark will fight for a world title in his hometown against top Brazilian prospect Rafael “Gaucho” Viana. אין די גלויבנס-הויפּט געשעעניש, דזשאָוי “די חיה” Miolla and Leandro “פּיטבולל” Higo will battle for the vacant bantamweight crown.
רפאַ 37 – Viana vs. Clark takes place פרייַטיק, April 15th בייַ די סאַנפאָרד פּענטאַגאָן אין סו פאלס, דרום דעקאטע. די גאנצע הויפּט קאָרט וועט זיין טעלאַווייזד לעבן און ניישאַנווייד אויף אַקסס טעלעוויזיע בייַ 10 פּ.ם. און/ 7 פּ.ם. פּט.
“I am excited to announce that the RFA will be bringing two world title fights to South Dakota in April,” סטייטיד סאָאַרעס. “Rafael Viana and Devin Clark are undefeated and two of the top 205-pound prospects in the world. They will compete for the inaugural RFA light-heavyweight title in the main event of RFA 37. אין די גלויבנס-העאַדלינער, Joey Miolla and Leandro Higo will both return to the Sanford Pentagon to fight for the vacant RFA bantamweight title.”
טיקקעץ פֿאַר רפאַ 37 – Viana vs Clark are available for purchase through Ticketmaster.com. You can also support your favorite fighter buy purchasing your tickets through CageTix.com/RFA.
קלאַרק (5-0) is the most successful 205-pound fighter in RFA history and is looking to become the promotion’s first light-heavyweight champion in front of his hometown crowd. Clark is an NJCAA wrestling champion and a Golden Gloves boxing champion that has quickly seen his name rise to the top of several MMA light-heavyweight prospect rankings. The Lincoln High School graduate has earned over half of his career wins inside the RFA Octagon and will be looking for the biggest win of his career in the main event of RFA 37.
“It’s an honor to fight for the inaugural RFA light-heavyweight title in front of my hometown crowd in Sioux Falls,” stated Clark. “Becoming the first RFA light-heavyweight champion will mean even more to me since I get to do it against such a talented and tough opponent.”
Viana (6-0) is the older brother of Bellator star Guilherme Viana and he also trains alongside UFC star Glover Teixeira. He is a BJJ black belt and the reigning Shooto Brasil light-heavyweight champion. Viana, like Clark, has proven to be clinical with his finishing ability and is eager to fight outside of his native Brazil for the first time. His international debut will also be his first fight televised worldwide and Viana is looking to take full advantage of it.
“I am very honored to be given this opportunity,” stated Viana. “This will be my first international fight and it is a great honor to fight for the inaugural RFA light-heavyweight title. I will put on a great show for the fans at RFA 37.”
די גלויבנס-הויפּט געשעעניש פון רפאַ 37 will culminate in crowning the third bantamweight champion in RFA history. The first two champions, Pedro Munhoz and Luke Sanders, געגאנגען 4-0 in the RFA before signing with the UFC. The vacant RFA bantamweight title will be up for grabs between two men who made their RFA debut on the same card last summer in back-to-back bouts. דזשאָוי מיאָללאַ (8-1) and Leandro Higo (15-2) represented their home countries on the historic “USA ווס. BRAZIL” event that took place last August at RFA 29. Both men were victorious that night and showed why they are two of the most highly-regarded 135-pound prospects in the sport. אויף פרייַטיק, April 15th, Miolla and Higo will face off inside the same building that they made their RFA debut last summer, but this time the winner will be walking away with RFA gold strapped around their waist.
רפאַ 37 will also feature one of South Dakota’s favorite sons as Jordon Larson (6-2) is set to return in the welterweight feature fight. Larson will be making his fourth appearance for the RFA in his hometown of Sioux Falls against Colorado native Brian Camozzi (5-2). Larson, who has been the recipient of three of the loudest ovations in RFA history, will once again make the walk to the RFA Octagon in front of his adoring hometown fans. He will face Camozzi, who is the younger brother of UFC star Chris Camozzi. The younger Camozzi brother made a huge statement in his RFA debut in January. He showcased his dynamic skill set by becoming the first person to finish Tyler Milner and he did it in less than one round.
רפאַ 37 – Viana vs Clark takes place פרייַטיק, April 15th בייַ די סאַנפאָרד פּענטאַגאָן אין סו פאלס, דרום דעקאטע. Additional bouts on the main card and preliminary card of RFA 37 וועט זייַן מודיע באַלד. This will be the promotion’s fourth event to take place in “די בארג רושמאָרע שטאַט” of South Dakota and it will be the fourth RFA event of 2016. די גאנצע הויפּט קאָרט פון רפאַ 37 וועט זיין טעלאַווייזד לעבן און ניישאַנווייד אויף אַקסס טעלעוויזיע אין 10 פּ.ם. און / 7 פּ.ם. פּט דעםפרייַטיק, April 15th.
