Thing are looking up for Mikey in a major way and here is his latest press release:

MIKEY RUKUS JOINS FORCES WITH ADDISON SPORTS - WALKOUT SONGS FOR INVICTA FC 4 FIGHTERS

Custom fight music producer Mikey Rukus, known for creating theme music and walkout music for fighters and companies worldwide, is joining forces with Addison Sports Management to create Customized Theme Songs for all of the fighters they represent on the upcoming Invicta FC 4 card in January.

The fighters specifically are Piage VanZant, Cassie Rodish, Stephanie Frausto-Gurgel, Liz McCarthy and Alexis Davis, who will be taking on Shayna Baszler which serves as the card's co-main event.  According to Mikey, the songs will serve as more than just "cool walkouts" for the Invicta women, "The customized theme songs that I create for these athletes will be advantageous to them in several ways.  Not only is it a cool walkout song that is customized specifically for them, but its a "Theme Song" that captures the essence of who that fighter is. It is made in a way that becomes a part of their package, their brand.  These songs will also be submitted to be picked up and placed in TV and Film, with their names in the credit line, drawing more eyes to that fighter's name in alternative markets, opening the door for new opportunities in other markets that can result in additional and alternative revenue streams for them." 

The alliance between Rukus and Addison Sports is a first, where a management company joins forces to have theme songs specifically created for their clients, but there are others who are currently in talks with Mike and could follow suit very soon. This is coming off of the heels of the UK's 10th Legion Championship Fighting joining forces with Mikey in using only Customized Mikey Rukus Music in all of their events and programming moving forward. Even with all of this taking shape, and while Mike is determined to solidify his place within the mixed martial arts arena, his services are beginning to crossover into other arenas as he is currently in talks with creating an official theme song for the Arena Football League as well as a handful of Triple A Minor League Baseball teams. As of this press release, "The Lady Killer" Amanda Bell will also be acquiring Mikey's services for a customized theme song for her Invicta FC 4 fight.

Coincidentally, Mikey Rukus is the creator of the Invicta Fighting Championships Theme Song, which can be heard here: http://sclk.co/s70teg

Mikey has also created walkout songs for several UFC fighters such as Mark Hunt, Leonard Garcia, Dennis Hallman and others.  

Invicta FC 4 takes place January 5, at the Memorial Hall in Kansas City Kansas.
