Rio Chain Gang offices raided – Fighters detained

Rio Chain Gang 270+, Fight Organization, Rio de Janeiro
Company profile by Alan Maynard

 

In a pre dawn raid, INTERPOL's anti-crime task force working in cooperation with local authorities, stormed the Rio Chain Gang offices. Armed with a search warrant and two arrest warrants authorities took two of the org members into custody.

 

Jack Leonard was accused of masterminding a kidnapping for ransom scheme. Leonard is a heavyweight fighter that signed with the Chain Gang when it was first formed. Businessman Juan Castrano has identified Leonard as the kidnapper that was demanding 100,000 US dollars as ransom. Leonard has since confessed, and has had his MMA fighting license revoked. Alan Maynard, owner of the fight org said “I always liked Jack, I thought he was a good kid. I know he use to run a chihuahua dog fighting club but that was just for fun and he just got probation. He lost his license for life for this and will never be in a professional MMA fight again. I want to assure the public that this is just an isolated incident and the Chan Gang is working hard with local officials to keep the peace.”

 

Mitkoslav Boychitch, a light heavyweight fighter was the other fighter arrested. Boychitch, a new recruit at the Chain Gang, was briefly detained and then released. Boychitch and Leonard were roomates and Boychitch was suspected of being involed in the kidnapping. Even though Boychitch proved his innocence his manager has refused to represent him anymore. Boychitch's future is now in limbo, Alan Maynard has given him one week to find a new manager or he will also be out of the Chain Gang and probably MMA.

 

This reporter wonders, is this truly an isolated incident or just a small sample of things to come.
