Gd energy in the building tonight. It's been a minute since the squad played gladiator dodge ball to the extent they did tonight! There were some numbers on the mat slinging rubber with not one winner in over an hour of hard playing.

If it were easy everyone would do it.

Saturday night was simply a reflection of hard work by so many awesome people under one umbrella. There are good and bad moments in any case but we always outgrow the bad and further the good every time. Our team is and always will remain one of the most professional and respectful squads you'll find. We are beyond proud of each and every one of you in and out of the cage. To the families & students that make up RVCA, we love you and thank you for always choosing to grow with us. 👊🏼

RVCA went 4-3 Saturday night at the MFC fights in Poteau. The night was capped off with a fire main event that saw Reginald "New Bones" Jones take the knockout of the night award moving his pro career to 2-0.

Brittany Vanmeter dropped a decision everyone felt she won.

Thayvarath Thidphy loss the decision to his opponent but did fantastic in a lot of ways that really makes it hard to say it's a loss. He learned and grew so much from his last outting.

Mason Wiggins lost his debut bout by decision as well. Seeing is believing and the #1 way to fixing and adjusting your game. He now knows what he needs to do and we are sure he will do just that. Onwards & upwards.

Beau Asher won by TKO in the 2nd after finding some solid shots after the 1st. Beau is now 2-0 in his Am KB career.

Ryder Clark won by decision over a skyscraper of an opponent. Taking advantage of his clinch and gd overhands and legs kicks. He is now 2-0 in his Am KB career also.

Elijah Mapes went to WAR for 5 rounds with a savage of a kid in Kody Lovelace. Mapes stuck to his game plan which ultimately lead to the victory. It's not enough anymore just to be tough. Staying locked in and mentally engaged charged the game. He is now 4-0 and the Undisputed MFC Kickboxing Champion!

Reginald Jones got the finish in the 1st rnd by TKO after a stellar couple moments that showed Jones's growth already in just the short time between his last couple fights. Sky's the limit for this kid.

Congrats to everyone. We are proud of all of you!
