With only 2 fights under his belt IMA up and comer Tony “MAD DOG” Rossini flew to Perth for the Superfight event as an unknown novice. After putting an awesome display of MMA to defeat his much more experienced opponent and winning fight of the night, Rossini flew home now with more fans in Perth than his home state of Queensland. Tony publicly thanked Team Sponsors Fairtex, VAS and MMA SPORTS MAGAZINE for their support.

No doubt that will change as Rossini looks to start chipping away at the lightweight division next year. Whilst Coach Higgins is very proud of his young fighter he will be sure to give him the time he needs to mature and make the best of his MMA career.  Look out for the MAD DOG in 2009.
