September 15, 2006 - Former NFL lineman, Rex Richards, quickly found out Fightfest is no football game. He’s gone from the green yards of a football field to a cold steel cage, facing his toughest competition – Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu wrestlers and Muay Thai Boxers.
Richards has been practicing Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu for about five years. The 6’5 315lbs grappler is becoming a well-known name in the Fightfest world, fiercely taking down powerful competitors with-in minutes.
When he’s not battling in the cage, Richards stays in the spotlight as an arena football player for the San Jose Sabercats.
Watch Rex Richards vs. Brazilian fighting sensation Petrus “Buffalo” Walker. Fightfest Total Destruction takes over the American Bank Center Arena Saturday, September 23rd at 7:30pm. Opening up for this heart-stopping show are classic rockers Quiet Riot.
