Bart Palaszewski doesn’t need any motivation for his upcoming fight on April 13 at the Ultimate Fighter 17 in Las Vegas. ‘Bartimus’ is coming off of two consecutive losses. The UFC® has often applied a “three strikes and you’re out” rule when deciding a fighters fate with the Ultimate Fighting Championship.

Palaszewski’s opponent will be Cole Miller. Coincidentally, Miller is coming off of two consecutive losses as well. Both fighters know that this will be a pressure packed bout that will make a big impact in regards to their fighting career.

“As always, fans can expect a guns blazing fight,” said Palaszewski in a Tweet to @SafeAuto. “As long as my opponent is down to throw down!”

Palaszewski has had 17 wins by knockout while Miller has had 13 submission victories. ‘Bartimus’ also received “Fight of the Night” and “Knockout of the Night” honors as of late so fans can expect an action packed evening from Palaszewski. “I know what’s on the line so I’ll be brining my A-Game, no questions about that.”

The Ultimate Fighter 17 will be televised on FX starting at 9:00 PM EST on April 13, 2013. Look for Palaszewski to throw down while wearing the SafeAuto logo on his trunks this upcoming Saturday!

When someone has hosted an MMA radio show called “Rage in a Cage,” it’s safe to say that they are a die-hard UFC® fan. Michael Shweigert was selected as the lucky winner of SafeAuto’s “VIP at the UFC” Contest. The twenty-two year old will be taking his friend and co-host of the show, Frank Horak along for the unforgettable trip to Minneapolis.

Schweigert and Hogart will receive airfare, hotel, tickets to the UFC® on FX bout as well as a private meet and greet with SafeAuto Fight Team members Travis Browne and Bart Palaszewski. SafeAuto Insurance holds multiple “VIP at the UFC” Contests on Facebook to reward all of the MMA fans who engage with their social media accounts.

“My initial reaction when I heard that I had won was that it was too good to be true,” stated Schweigert. “I am a huge UFC® and Travis Browne fan. I have a serious passion for the sport and had a radio show for a while covering it. I am looking forward to getting back into the mix of things and this trip is a once and a lifetime opportunity for me. “

The main event for the UFC® on FX fight in Minneapolis will be Travis Browne versus Bigfoot. “’Hapa’ has been one of my favorite fighters in the UFC® and I am glad to finally get to watch him fight and meet him in-person!” said Schweigert. I think it is great that SafeAuto will engage with their fans. They are very active with the social world and to hold special contests like these in a sport that grows more and more popular by the day is a great move.”
