GLENDALE, Ariz. – With 17 professional MMA and two pro boxing bouts to his credit, Chris Avila by definition is a “real fighter.” There’s also the fact that he’s part of the Diaz brothers’ crew and associated with Nate Diaz’s Real Fight Inc. promotion.
So when he steps into the ring this Saturday, Avila has one main goal.
“I’m out here trying to represent to the fullest and put on for my team and make sure that I show what real fighting’s about, go out there and put it down on this guy,” Avila told reporters Wednesday. “That’s what I’m coming to do on Saturday, come out there and put it down and show everybody what real fighting’s about.”
