LAST WEEK in Texas MMA: ‘Robo’ withdraws from Shine Fights 3 and Wolfe Pack Boxing/MMA
Chad Robichaux out of Shine Fights 3
A matchup between Gracie Barra Woodlands owner Chad ‘Robo’ Robichaux and Takifumi Otsuka fell through after Shine Fights 3 was rescheduled to May 15. Though Dallas’ Frank Ortega soon entered the picture, he declined the fight due to a contractual misunderstanding. Last week, ‘Robo’ decided to wait for another spot on a future Shine Fights card.
Shine Fights 3: Worlds Collide features a main event between Din Thomas and Ricardo Mayorga.
Stay tuned for an exclusive interview with Robichaux at texascombatsports.com.
