WHAT STARTED AS A HIGH SCHOOL PROJECT HAS ENDED IN A TITLE SHOT
May 7, 2014 Comments
(PRESS RELEASE) -- A high school senior project became a blessing
in disguise for MMA fighter Auttumn
Norton. In California, part of the requirement for graduation
is that you have to complete a senior project. In this particular
case, the assignment was to pick a career, learn a lot about it,
and do a presentation in front of school administrators. Norton has
always been an athlete her entire life and thought she would do
hers on MMA. It turned out that she loved it! It’s now two years
later and she is being flown out to Memphis, TN to fight for the
most prestigious women’s amateur bantamweight title in the world
when she takes on V3Fights’ champion, Amberlynn
Orr.
Norton is currently 5-1 and trains out of Iron Horse Gym in Susanville, CA. On June 21, she will have the biggest fight of her career when she travels to Memphis, TN to take on a very dangerous fighter in champion, Amberlynn Orr. When asked about this fight, here is what Norton had to say:
“I think this fight will do great things for both of our careers.
One of us is going to win and one of us is going to learn. I think
Amberlynn is a tough opponent and a great athlete. I don’t mind
stepping into enemy territory, I’ve been in that situation before.
I really wanted this fight because I know V3 is an amazing show and
Memphis is beautiful. A lot of my recent fights have been falling
out so I think this is a great opportunity. I want to thank
V3Fights! I can’t wait to come to Memphis!”
In a night filled with the top fighters from the southeast region competing against one another, the fighter from the west coast may be the one leaving with V3 gold!
Ticket prices start at $35.
