East Texas Fighter Gets His UFC Debut in Vegas Friday
This Friday, an East Texas fighter will get his shot at the big time. Gladewater resident, and all around bad mother shut your mouth, Kevin Aguilar is headed to Las Vegas for an opportunity to fight at UFC Fight Night held at The Palms Hotel & Casino. Kevin (AKA "The Angel of Death") has been training with team 515 based in Longview, Texas. While the gym has had it's share of titles won by those who train there, this is the biggest fight for 515 and Aguilar.
According to East Texas Matters, even though Kevin is ready (he's been training for more than a decade ) - this opportunity came out of the blue. He said that a call came in late, but he's ready to make his presence known this Friday when he squares off against Rick " The Gladiator" Glenn.
