Jack Rice Defense Sponsors Rising Kickboxing Star Sam Bailey on His Road to the World Stage
By Sullivan Rice
At Jack Rice Defense, we believe that fighting for justice doesn’t just happen in the courtroom—it happens in communities, in families, and in the dreams of those who work relentlessly to represent something bigger than themselves. That’s why we’re proud to announce our sponsorship of local athlete Sam Bailey Jr as he prepares to represent Team USA at the World Kickboxing Games in Abu Dhabi.
Sam isn’t just a fighter in the ring—he’s a fighter in life. A hometown talent with deep Minnesota roots, Sam has earned his place among the nation’s top athletes through grit, discipline, and heart. Now, he's heading to the global stage, and we’re honored to support him on that journey.
“Sam embodies the same values we fight for every day in the courtroom—discipline, perseverance, and heart.”
A Champion with Community at His Core
Sam Bailey has built his name through years of hard work and determination, balancing intense training with a deep commitment to his community. Whether he’s mentoring younger fighters at the gym or grinding through rounds with his coaches, Sam represents the kind of spirit we admire—humble, hungry, and resilient.
His selection to Team USA for the World Kickboxing Games is more than a small achievement. This isn’t just a personal milestone for Sam—it’s a proud moment for the community that’s been part of his path all along.
Why We Chose to Sponsor Sam Bailey
At Jack Rice Defense, we fight for people. We believe in second chances, in rising after setbacks, and in the strength it takes to keep pushing forward. That’s what criminal defense is about—and it’s what Sam Bailey embodies every time he enters the ring.
Our sponsorship isn’t just financial. It’s personal. Jack Rice himself has watched Sam before he had even competed and understands the discipline, focus, and courage it takes to train for elite-level competition. Supporting Sam is a way to give back, uplift local talent, and stand behind someone who shares our values of integrity, determination, and heart.
The Road to Abu Dhabi
The World Kickboxing Games, hosted in Abu Dhabi later this year, will bring together the top amateur kickboxers from around the globe. Representing Team USA is a monumental achievement, and it comes with both incredible pride and serious pressure.
Sam will be training harder than ever in the coming months, dialing in his focus and sharpening his skills as he prepares to go toe-to-toe with the world’s best. Our support helps make that possible—covering travel, equipment, training costs, and everything else that goes into chasing gold on the world stage.
Supporting More Than One Kind of Fighter
Whether it's defending someone in court or backing a hometown athlete chasing a world title, Jack Rice Defense stands with fighters. We believe in advocacy, excellence, and never backing down from a challenge. Sam Bailey’s journey is just one more way we’re putting those values into action.
We’ll be cheering for Sam every step of the way, and we hope our community will too.
