Rage In The Cage 94 4/28

MMA fighter Gilbert Aldana dead

-- The body of 29-year-old MMA fighter Gilbert Aldana was found at Lake Pleasant. Aldana, out on a boating trip Sunday with friends and family, dove into the water to retrieve a shirt and never resurfaced. Roland Sarria, Aldana's trainer, told Sherdog.com:"He went out with his best friend and his family," Sarria said. "His wife, his friend's wife and the kids. It was a weird thing that happened, because it happened as they were entering the lake. They were going like five miles-per-hour and that's when it happened. So they never got a chance to even get out in the lake. It happened in the early stage.

"It was really a freak accident." . Aldana's last fights were in UFC 61 and Rage In The Cage 90. Our condolences to Aldana's family and friends.

RAGE IN THE CAGE THIS SATURDAY AT THE CELEBRITY THEATER

Plus Bantamweight Title Fight

Tickets available only through Celebrity Theater Box Office 602-267-1600

Jimmy "the Titan" Ambriz, from Huntington Beach CA, returns to RITC
after a 5 year absence. During this period, this "Behemoth" has
battled notable fighters such as Barnett, LeBanner, Rodriguez, Waterman,
Eilers, Bobish, Ivey and Vrbanovic.

In title action, undefeated #1 Challenger Matt Dell will be facing
Champion George Roop for the Bantamweight Championship. In contrast to
the other Main Event, the combined weight of these two fighters is less
than Ambriz. Should make for an interesting night of MMA action.

A very strong supporting card complements these Main Event matchups.
