Minnesota based Ambition Promotions partnered with Strikeforce to find the best rising-star MMA fighter in Minnesota.

Mike “the Marine” Richman started his march to Strikeforce on Sept 12 at The Great Hall in a 3 round battle with Derrick Getzel.

Getzel surrendered after Richman put him in a choke, Richman achieved his 1st objective three minutes and thirty-six seconds into round 1.

“Richman steals the show and most likely has the Strikeforce contract.”
