NEWS PRESS RELEASE 

Stars Training Center is pleased to announce that Middleweight King of Pancrase Nate Marquardt has just received a generous sponsorship from America's hottest fight wear clothiers, Kikskin Sports Apparel. We are excited and proud that Nate was selected to join an elite group of athletes who represent and promote Kikskin products. 

It all started a few months ago when Nate noticed one of his MMA students wearing a great looking pair of fighting shorts, the same type worn by fighting greats Mark Kerr and Bas Rutten. Nate loved the look but was more concerned with comfort, durability, and quality. He was tired of buying the same old brand X shorts that ripped apart at the seams, rode up on his legs and cost big bucks. To make a long story short, the brand X's are in the trash and the Kikskins are on Nate.  Marquardt's cornerman/trainer Billy J. Hendricks had this to say, "Kikskins are the best of all the brands we have tried!"   

On March 31st, "The King" returns to the ring for his upcoming Pancrase MMA bout at the Namihaya Dome in Osaka, Japan. Nate will be wearing Kikskin's top of the line competition kimono for the ring entrance and his favorite 2-tone black and blue Kikskin shorts for the fight. Following the show Marquardt travels to Tokyo for specialized training at the P-Labs Dojo and promotional work for his new sponsor.
