Intimidation sponsored Brian “The Predator” Rogers to fight March 16 in Louisiana in Bellator Season 6 Middleweight Tournament Quarterfinals

Intimidation Clothing sponsored Brian “The Predator” Rogers is set to return to the Bellator cage opposite Vitor Vianna and Rogers now knows the date and location of his fight. Rogers (8-3), who on January 9th was the first fighter announced as a member of the Bellator Season 6 Middleweight Tournament will face Vianna in the Quarterfinals,  on Friday night March 16th at the Horseshoe Riverdome in Bossier City, Louisiana. With Season 5 Tournament winner Alexander Shlemenko set to face Champ Hector Lombard this Spring and fellow Semifinalist Bryan Baker now fighting at 170 lbs, Rogers (1-1 Bellator) and Vianna (2-1 Bellator) will face off with the winner likely emerging as the frontrunner in the Season 6 Middleweight Tournament.

One of the most popular fighters in the state of Ohio, Rogers has been a pro since 2008 and is 8-3 in his MMA career having scored seven straight 1st round KO/TKO stoppages after a 1-2 start to his career. After fighting most of his pro fights for the NAAFS and UCB promotions, Rogers scored a TKO win at Strikeforce: Feijao vs. Henderson  in Columbus, Ohio before making his Bellator debut at Bellator 50 in September where he scored a 1st round TKO of Victor O’Donnell to advance. In that fight Rogers was sponsored head-to-toe by Intimidation Clothing wearing the Brian “The Predator” Rogers signature shirt.

Rogers is a member of the popular Strong Style Fight Team based out of Independence, Ohio, and went 3-1 in 2011 with the lone blemish coming at Bellator 54 against Bellator’s Season 2 Middleweight Tournament winner Alexander Shlemenko (44-7), a winner of 6 straight fights and 12 of his last 13. The sponsorship of Rogers on MTV2 during  Bellator’s Fall 2011 Season was one of many sponsorships on national TV as the company has also sponsored notables Ben Saunders, Luis Santos, Chris Lozano, Rene Nazare, Alexis Vila, Ed West, Pete Spratt, Marcos Galvao and more.

Cruickshank scores win over Cardinal at SITH event in Ontario, Canada

Daron Cruickshank, one of the most promising young MMA fighters in the state of Michigan if not the entire Midwest, returned to the cage on Friday night in Ontario, Canada. Cruickshank faced one of his most successful opponents to date in Brad Cardinal, a 7-year MMA pro who entered with a 13-6 record. Cruickshank showed why he has so much promise in scoring a first round TKO of Cardinal to improve to 8-2 at the SITH: Slammer in the Hammer event.

Intimidation completes successful weekend across USA

This weekend was another big one for Intimidation Clothing. The MMA apparel company continued their momentum throughout the Midwest while strengthening their growing presence in the Southwest USA at a variety of events. Intimidation staff was on hand selling at two events in Northeast Ohio, Dan Bobish’s Ultimate Cage Battles in Parma and NAAFS: Proving Ground in Akron.

Intimidation-sponsored fighters included Columbus’ Billy Vaughan, who dropped a razor-thin split decision to hometown favorite and UFC vet Joe Jordan in Pikeville, Kentucky on Friday night. On Saturday night, Cleveland’s Forrest “The Meat Cleaver” Petz scored a TKO win in the 2nd round over UFC, Strikeforce & Bellator vet John Kolosci in Valparaiso, Indiana. Meanwhile, in Parma, Ohio, Daron Cruickshank (pictured) of Wayne, Michigan scored a split decision win over Tiawan Howard at Bobish’s UCB event. At the same event Patrick Harman, a product of Midwest Martial Arts in Osceola, Indiana suffered a submission loss to “Cujo” Joe McCall. In Shawnee, Oklahoma, Intimidation-sponsored Erin Toughill stepped into the cage for the first time in nearly two years and dropped a unanimous decision for her first loss in over six years. The sponsorship of Toughill (11-3) is the start of a growing presence in the Southwest as the Intimidation name continues to build across the USA. Vaughan, Petz, Cruickshank and Toughill all featured Intimidation walkout tees and logos on their shorts with Harman sporting an Intimidation tee as well.

After a weekend of great sales and fantastic branding across the USA, the Intimidation brand will be in full force yet again this weekend with fighters in action in St. Paul, Minnesota and Canton, Ohio at two major regional MMA events. Come back to IntimidationMMA.com for updates throughout the week and follow Intimidation on Facebook.

Weekend Preview: Big sponsorships this weekend for Intimidation Clothing

As stated in our post about Intimidation’s busy month of MMA & grappling events in April, Intimidation Clothing will not be resting in the coming months. In addition to a very busy month of events, Intimidation has an impressive lineup of fighter sponsorships lined starting this weekend in both Ohio and Oklahoma.

Dan Bobish’s Ultimate Cage Battles returns to Parma, Ohio on Saturday with Stars & Stripes and Intimidation Clothing will be live at the event with several pro fighters sponsored. In addition, Intimidation-sponsored fighters will also be in action on April 9th in Indiana as well as Oklahoma.

At the UCB event in Parma Intimidation will have three fighters in action with Daron Cruickshank, Brett Ewing & Patrick Harman all scheduled for fights. Michigan’s Daron Cruickshank (6-2) is widely considered one of the top prospects in the Midwest and will face Cleveland fan favorite Tiawan Howard (8-6). Cruickshank, a product of the MASH Fight Team near Detroit, was previously sponsored by Intimidation at the September 2010 King of the Cage event in Detroit and will face Howard at 170 lbs.

Brett Ewing capped off a perfect amateur MMA career (10-0) and made a successful pro debut just a couple of weeks ago. Fighting as a featherweight, Ewing, a member of Vision MMA in Cincinnati, Ohio, was been sponsored by Intimidation Clothing twice during his amatuer career.

Patrick Harman (8-8) is a fighter who has faced many of the top heavyweights in the sport. Harman currently trains with UFC veteran Todd Brown at Midwest Martial Arts in Osceola, Indiana, and saw his five-fight winning streak snapped when he lost a decision to Joe Galer nearly a year ago.

Rounding out the Midwest USA presence for Intimidation on April 9th is Forrest “The Meat Cleaver” Petz. The most accomplished fighter in the group of Intimidation-sponsored fighters on this weekend, Petz has been working with Intimidation for nearly a year now. The 7-fight UFC vet scored a win in a January fight for the UCB promotion and will face UFC, Strikeforce, Bellator & TUF 6 veteran John Kolosci at HFC 7 in Valparaiso, Indiana. Interestingly enough, Kolosci (14-7) lost via submission to Intimidation Clothing-sponsored Kenny Robertson in August at Bellator 25. Petz will be seen wearing Intimidation’s premium quality board shorts and his own signature t-shirt.

Also fighting this weekend under the Intimidation banner is Erin Toughill, aka “Steel” from NBC’s remake of American Gladiators. Toughill (10-2) has widely been considered a Top 10 female fighter in the 145 lb weight class and could have a Strikeforce fight in the works if she wins at the Freestyle Cage Fighting 46 event in Shawnee, Oklahoma on Saturday night. The sponsorship of Toughill further strengthens Intimidation’s emerging presence in the Southwest after signing on Thunder MMA as a authorized dealer earlier this year.

In addition to the pro MMA sponsorships for April 9th, Intimidation will once again be a title sponsor at the NAAFS: Proving Ground event in Akron, Ohio. Intimidation has big plans throughout the month of April with sponsorships of fighters from Maine to Minnesota as the company continues to experience exponential growth.

Busy April planned for Intimidation Clothing at MMA, grappling events

After another record-breaking month in March that saw company highs for both Web site traffic & sales, Intimidation Clothing will not be resting in April. The company has a very busy month of events scheduled in an effort to keep the foot on the gas pedal.

April 9 – NAAFS: Proving Ground Series – Akron, OH – Intimidation will be a featured sponsor of the event as they are for all NAAFS events in 2011.

April 9 – UCB: Stars & Stripes – Parma, OH – Intimidation Clothing will be in attendance at Bobish’s Ultimate Cage Battles for the third time in recent months as they sponsor pro fighters Daron Cruickshank, Brett Ewing and Patrick Harman.

April 16 – NAAFS: Caged Vengeance 9 – Canton, OH – Intimidation will be a featured sponsor of the event which is expected to be one of the biggest MMA events in the state of Ohio in 2011. The event features the start of the NAAFS heavyweight tournament as well as a welterweight title fight and the return of Bealltor veteran Chris Lozano to Northeast Ohio the NAAFS. Intimidation will be sponsoring Lozano for his fight at Caged Vengeance 9 against Edward O’Daniel.

April 23 -  OGC 20 – Medina, OH – Intimidation makes the first of several appearances at Ohio Grappling Challenge events in 2011 at OGC 20 in Medina. Intimidation Clothing will be in attendance with a strong presence at the event that includes sponsorships of UFC vet Dustin Hazelett and Jordan Sullivan, both of which are participants in the 16-man Absolute No-Gi Invitational, the highlight event of the day which is also sponsored by the Intimidation brand.

In addition, Intimidation’s plans for May and June are already coming together nicely with strong marketing efforts planned in Kentucky, Ohio, Oklahoma, Pennsylvania and more.

Intimidation to sponsor MASH Fight Team’s Daron Cruickshank

Intimidation Clothing is pleased to announce that they will once again be working with Daron Cruickshank, a member of the MASH Fight Team in Michigan. Cruickshank, who fights at lightweight (155 lbs) and welterweight (170 lbs), is 6-2 as a pro and is widely considered to be on of the brightest MMA prospects in the Detroit area.

Intimidation will be sponsoring Cruickshank from head to toe as he is expected to face Tiawan Howard in a welterweight battle at UCB: Stars & Stripes on April 9th in Parma, Ohio. This will mark the second time that Intimidation will have sponsored Cruickshank including his September 2010 King of the Cage fight where he scored a 1st round TKO win. Howard (8-6) is a local favorite from the Cleveland area and is coming off a win over Cruickshank’s teammate Eric Moon at a UCB event in January.

“Sponsoring Daron is a no-brainer,” said Luke Jernigan, President & CEO of Intimidation Clothing, LLC. “In addition to being a great, versatile fighter, Daron helps us build our name in the Detroit market which is important to our brand’s growth.” Intimidation has previously sponsored multiple MASH Fight Team members in MMA events in Ohio & Michigan and was one of the title sponsors of the September 11, 2010 King of the Cage event in Auburn Hills, Michigan, a suburb of Detroit.

Cruickshank wrestled in college at Olivet College in Michigan and currently teaches kickboxing. A former intern at Xtreme Couture in Las Vegas, Nevada, Cruickshank will be appearing on MTV’s Bully Beatdown in early 2011. Previously a top contender for King of the Cage, Cruickshank holds an incredibly impressive spinning backfist knockout video from a King of the Cage event that has around 10,000 views on YouTube.
