CAT FIGHT!
April 1st, 2010 | Published in EVENTS
After being pulled from her fight against Felice Herrig in Bellator, Catia Vitoria will make her MMA debut in the Florida based promotion Art Of Fighting 7 on April 3. Catia was a late replacement for fellow SuckerPunch fighter Michele Gutierrez who was originaly slated to face off against Tiffany Connell. Michele had to pull out of the fight due to a knee injury that will sideline her for the next 3 to 4 months. “I am sad for Michele because I know she was training so hard and dying to fight, but I’m also glad I could step in for her”, said Catia, “I really wish I was still fighting Felice in Bellator and still don’t understand why the commission wouldn’t allow that fight? They claim she had too much experience with that whopping 2-2 record of hers. I feel like they were trying to protect her because I was going to beat her.”
When asked how she sees this fight going Catia told us, “First I want to thank Art Of Fighting for letting me step in and I hope we put on a good show for them! I think that Tiffany and I will be a good fight becasue we both like to strike, but I am always looking for the KO, I have heavy kicks and I am looking forward to landing them… oh and I want to throw some elbows, love some elbows!” SuckerPunch president Brian Butler said, “There is a lot of buzz about Cat and I can hear in her voice how bad she wants to stay busy”, Butler goes on to say, “Cat must have text me 3 or 4 times to ask if she can throw elbows (laughing) so I would expect her to throw some a few of those”.
