Xtreme Fighting Organization’s lightweight competitor Brian Radtke is set to make his third appearance at the XFO’s Offsides Fight Night. The event will be taking place Saturday, January 21st in Woodstock, IL at Offsides Bar and Grill.The older of the Radtke brothers, Brian is 23 years of age and sits at 2-1 in his amateur career. He fights at lightweight and will be facing Julian Emert on this coming XFO card. Radtke, like his brother who also competes on Saturdays card, has fighting in his blood.
“My brother and I got into MMA by fighting in the streets almost our whole life,” said Radtke. “When I was getting in a lot of shit I needed a change from a raw and tough life so I moved up here with my brother and started following our dream of becoming great fighters. That’s the only thing me and my brother can see doing in our life; fighting.”
The Radtke brothers enjoy competing together on the same cards, as they have done for their past couple of fights.
“Every fight that me and Charlie have had it’s been with one another if its him fighting or me fighting or both of us. I love it because he is my brother, who wouldn’t want their brother with them when they fight?
The pair have been training in one of the top gyms in the Midwest at Curran Martial Arts. Full of talented lighter-weight fighters, they go into the cage feeling prepared.
“He is my partner in training every day because me and him are so much alike. It’s perfect, he pushes me and I push him to another level that one else can,” said Radtke. “For our fights, we both take them like any other day. You have to be calm and composed and go in there and do your job. (That is) what me and him are trained to do.”
All of Radtke’s bouts have been for the XFO. When he eventually turns pro, Radtke wants to stay with the organization.
“I’d like to keep fighting for XFO when I turn pro because it’s a great organization to fight for,” said Radtke. ”My dreams are to make it big and for my name to be remembered.”
