De Anda is no pushover

Article By Phil Lanides
They say that the squeakiest wheel gets the oil. In the case of two fighters like Gladiator Challenge Heavyweight Champion Angel “of Death” De Anda and the next challenger to his crown, Dave “Bad Man” Huckaba, most of the attention usually goes to Huckaba. Always good for a quote, he never shies from a microphone, and always freely expresses his mind. Its all part of the mind games that the veteran knows how to play so well.
But De Anda and his somewhat quiet demeanor shouldn’t be mistaken for a fighter who’s being intimidated. Strength and confidence lie just beneath the surface for the champ, and on September 18th at “Undisputed,” De Anda will get a chance to prove just that. The champ’s most recent victory came at the July 18th “Patriots” event, where he ran his record to 8-1. Here’s a description of the fight from Oakdale Leader sportswriter Ike Dodson, who was live on the scene:
“In the night’s main event, Oakdale MMA heavyweight Angel De Anda (of Modesto) closed the evening with a dominant total knockout of previously unbeaten Josh Appelt to successfully defend his Gladiator Challenge belt in the division.
