More Than Just a Fighter
Sam Bailey Jr. represents more than just competitive excellence—he embodies the values we hold close: discipline, perseverance, and community. A dedicated athlete with deep roots in Minnesota, Sam has spent years honing his craft. When he's not training, he’s mentoring younger fighters and giving back to the gym that shaped him.
Now, he’s preparing to represent Team USA at the upcoming World Kickboxing Games in Abu Dhabi—and we're honored to stand in his corner.
“Sam represents the same values we fight for every day: perseverance, focus, and heart.”
— Jack Rice
Why We Support Sam
Our work as a criminal defense firm is about fighting uphill battles—standing with people when it matters most. Sam Bailey’s journey mirrors that mission. His drive, resilience, and unwavering commitment to his craft are exactly why this partnership makes sense.
This isn’t just a sponsorship. It’s personal. Jack Rice has followed Sam’s journey from the early days, long before the spotlight. Supporting him now is about honoring that journey and investing in a local athlete who reflects our values.
The Road to Abu Dhabi
The World Kickboxing Games will bring together the best amateur fighters from around the globe. Representing Team USA is an incredible honor—and a massive challenge. Over the next few months, Sam will be leveling up his training to take on the world’s elite.
Our sponsorship helps cover essential expenses—training, travel, gear—so Sam can stay focused on doing what he does best: winning.
