WEC® Bantamweight Stars Benavidez and Jorgensen to
Sign Autographs at Meadows Mall on Dec. 17

Las Vegas, NV (USA) –World Extreme Cagefighting® bantamweight stars Joseph Benavidez and Scott Jorgensen will sign autographs at the No Fear Store at Meadows Mall on Thursday, Dec. 17 from 5pm-6pm PST. Both fighters will be competing on WEC’s huge card on Dec. 19 at The Pearl at The Palms Casino Resort.

Benavidez, a phenomenal striker from Sacramento, Calif., will be taking on jiu jitsu ace Rani Yahya. Meanwhile, Jorgensen, a rugged wrestler from Boise, Idaho, meets feared Japanese star Takeya Mizugaki. Both fights will be televised live on VERSUS.

According to Britt Galland, No Fear’s VP of Marketing, “We appreciate these guys taking the time, just days before a couple of the biggest fights of their rising careers, to give back to the fans. It’s a rare chance for people to get up close and personal with two highly-skilled mixed martial artists —without having to face them in the cage.”

With the holidays right around the corner, Benavidez and Jorgensen are excited for the chance to meet fans at the No Fear Store inside Meadows Mall.

“One of my favorite aspects of this sport is interacting with the fans,” Benavidez said. “Scott and I are happy that No Fear has invited us to their store during a busy time of year to meet the fans and take part in a fun night out.”

9,545 miles. That¹s the amount of distance Daniel Reardon has traveled to
race in the past week. Last Saturday in Perth, Australia ‹ one of the most
isolated metropolitan areas on Earth (the closest city to it with over 1
million people being Adelaide, South Australia a mere 1,307 miles away)
Reardon placed second to countryman Chad Reed in the opening round of
premier Australian-based Super X series.

Six days later and in less than 24 hours, Reardon will be in Las Vegas, Nevada to compete in the 2008 U.S. Open. A hell of a slog, but one the friendly 22 year-old Australian ex-pat has no problem with. Now based in California and a consistent top 10 finisher in both the 2008 AMA West Region Supercross and AMA Motocross Lites National Championship tours, the GEICO Powersports Honda No Fear-backed Reardon is a racer at heart, and has no designs on taking any sort of major break now that the off-season has begun. In fact, shortly after the U.S. Open, Reardon will get back on another 747 and fly right back to his homeland to line up for the second round of the Super X series next Saturday
in The City of Churches: Adelaide, Australia.
