Kyle Baker
NAAFS 170-POUND CHAMPION KYLE BAKER IS READY TO MAKE A STATEMENT TO THE BIG LEAGUES
Defends his belt against Bellator vet Chris Lozano
Press Release – Cleveland, Ohio (USA): Every professional fighter makes sacrifices they do so that they can be the very best they can be and make it to the top. Kyle “Alley Cat” Baker is no different.
Despite a solid record of 10-6, Baker has yet to perform on a national stage. After starting off his career with three losses in four fights, “Alley Cat” has righted the ship, and has gone 9-3 since that time. A strong finisher, he has knocked out seven of his ten victims, and has taken on well-known fighters such as Bellator contender Douglas Lima, and UFC vets Chad Reiner, Drew Fickett, Brian Foster, and Lucio Linhares. In his last NAAFS bout, Baker knocked out Nick Duell to capture the welterweight crown.
In short, his resume is impressive.
Now, “Alley Cat” will face off with “The Cleveland Assassin” Chris Lozano, and ultra-tough Bellator vet, in the main event of the NAAFS’ “Fight Nite in the Flats VIII” on Saturday, June 2nd at Jacobs Pavilion in Cleveland. If Baker can win decisively, he is likely to garner the attention of the UFC, Strikeforce, and Bellator. There’s a lot of pressure riding on his shoulders, but Baker is up for the challenge.
