Tony "Kryptonite" Lopez and KOTC's event "Legacy" By MMA-KO Writer Art Rodriguez

On Friday March 26 at the Silver Legacy Casino, King of the Cage will be throwing what promises to be a very exciting Mixed Martial Arts event. Featuring Two championship fights, also five-time former champion Jamie Jara taking on Tim Means in a middleweight bout. Hungry Welterweight contenders Koffi Adzitso and Quinn Mulhern are going to war for the currently vacant title. Heavyweight champion Tony "Kryptonite" Lopez will attempt to defend his belt against a dangerous opponent in Tony Johnson.

            An experienced fighter, with 20 professional fights under his belt, Tony Lopez has earned two titles over his career. Mr. Lopez has finished 11 of his opponents, and defeated an additional 8 via judges decision, while suffering only 2 losses himself. He currently holds both the heavyweight and light heavyweight title's for the King of the Cage organization, and continues to express his ambition to compete at higher levels of the sport, and fight the best opponents available.

            "I was only 12 years old when I started taking Kung Fu classes" Lopez explained in an interview. After that, he went on to study Karate before becoming full time Mixed Martial Artist. Mr. Lopez fights with a sort of modified karate style, shared by few other top level fighters. Good at controlling the pace of a fight with a solid yet elusive defense, and devastating counter striking ability. Mr. Lopez does not like leaving his fate in the hands of judges, he's a finishing fighter who is always looking for his opportunity to end it. His most valuable strength has been his natural mental and physical toughness. Discouragement and despair are not part of this fighter's vocabulary. He fights with a unique style, which is often difficult for his opponents to adjust to. Finding and exploiting the weakest point in his opponents game, he tries to aggressively push the fight in a direction where he will have an advantage.

            Mr. Lopez understands that his choice of occupation is driven by fans who want to see action in the cage. He has made it clear, he is here to entertain us. "I just want to put on a good show for all the fight fans out there" Said Lopez. "As long as I can give the fans a good show, I'm cool with it" He told one interviewer. Adding to the equation his talent, toughness, and nickname like "Kryptonite", I'm afraid not even Superman is safe. Friday March 26 King of the Cage presents "Legacy". Come have a great night at the fights in the Silver Legacy Casino in Reno. Doors open at 6pm fights start at 7pm.
