In March, Platinum Fighting brings it's Ring of Fire team championships to Macau, China, for the finals. MMA Legend Ken Shamrock leads his team against former UFC HW Champ and multiple King of Pancrase, Josh Barnett. Both Shamrock and Barnett's teams left the Philippines undefeated. That streak will have to end in Macau. On paper, it appears that Team Barnett has the slight advantage, boasting a roster of PRIDE and UFC veterans such as Yuki Kondo, Jeff Monson, and Renato "Babalu" Sobral. However, Team Shamrock should not be overlooked, with UFC vet Mike Whitehead, the always dangerous Tonya Evinger, and former UFC HW champion, Ricco Rodriguez. One thing is for certain, a sweep is not happening in Macau.
Bragging rights are on the line, to become the first ever Ring of Fire Team Champions. Coach Josh Barnett was extremely unhappy with his team's inability to finish fights, so if Team Barnett leaves with anything less than the overall championship, well, let's just say I'd hate to be in that locker room.
From the other source, Jeff Monson will be fighting Ricco Rodriguez and Babalu Sobral will fight Mike Whitehead on 23rd of April 08. I guess the date of event now shifted to April.
