Local Ice cream maker selected to fight on "BADASS" Television show.
24 year old Haltom City native and resident, Ronald Bolton, has been selected as a contestant on "BADASS" a television show were contestants compete against each other with various challenges, and the winner gets the opportunity to fight a world-class ultimate fighting champion for $25,000, if they can last 5 minutes. Ronald Bolton is head ice cream maker for Milwaukee Joe's Gourmet Ice Cream based in Bedford, Texas. Bolton, who is 65 and a former Golden Gloves boxing champion, dressed in typical Milwaukee Joe's attire for background filming. He just wanted his opponents to have to explain being beaten be a guy in a cow apron and cow chef hat. "Badass" is a production of Beat Down Productions, and is in negotiations with various networks for distribution.
Everyone remembers the high school bully and everyone has a story about some tough guy that they know... The type of guy that is always talking trash or looking for a fight.
Well finally there is a TV show that puts them to the test! Never before has a reality show been so bold and daring! This is not some show that fakes fear. It's either put up or shut up because there's no talking your way out of this one! If the challenger has what it takes, he can step up into the ring and face some of the best trained warriors in the world; but before the challenger can step into the ring with a world class Mixed Martial Artist, he'll have to endure some real challenges testing his strength, endurance and determination.
After competing in a series of events, the winner will have his choice: Fight a true BADASS for a chance at $25,000 in cash and prizes or choose one of the other contestants for a lesser prize. As a last resort, he can swallow his pride and back down all-together.
