RAF Commits To Youth Wrestling With Major Acquisition

RAF co-founder and CEO Chad Bronstein said the promotion will preserve founder Jack Roller's vision for the tournaments. "When you're part of wrestling, you understand what Tulsa means," he told MMA Mania. The executive praised Roller's family for building what he called an institution that serves generations of wrestling families.

World of Wrestling will run the Kickoff Classic next month, followed by Tulsa Nationals in January and Reno Worlds in April. RAF's next fight card happens Nov. 14 in Abu Dhabi with a Merab Dvalishvili rematch against Marlon Moraes.
