Rick “The Ghost” Bitz speaks out following professional MMA debut
MEDICINE HAT, AB — There’s a certain irony which comes with Rick Bitz nickname “The Ghost” and his deep religious background.
For one, his relationship with God is very personal, saying He helped him through his first professional mixed martial arts debut last weekend.
“To come out of it with a couple bruises under your eyes and a stuffy nose after taking shot after shot, and some ground and pound, that’s God standing with you,” says Bitz. “That’s his protection.”
Yet his nickname is raw and suspicious, symbolizing a spirit of the dead.
