consumer products,” stated NanoTech CEO Jeffrey A. Foley. “Part of our
growth is to build up our presence with consumers. MMA is the fastest

field to be involved in to help build our brand.” Foley continued, “We
have selected fighters that share our values and we will help represent
NanoTech and our products with pride.”

than thirty seconds. He is the former Gladiator Challenge Heavyweight
Champion and is the current West Coast FC Heavyweight Champion. Dave has
fought in various organizations including Bellator, Gladitor Challenge,
Tachi Palace Fights, EliteXC, Shark Fights, and KOTC. Huckaba holds an
impressive 20-5 professional record. Huckaba will be fighting another
MMA legend, Ray Sefo at on August 10, 2013 in his debut with the WSOF.
