LAS VEGAS, Nevada – Aiséirí Alliance Troid (RFA) president Ed Soares announced today that the promotion will be bringing the first nationally televised MMA event to the state of Idaho. RFA 27 – Murphy vs. Brock will feature a main event pitting a rising prospect against asurging vet.

“I’m excited to bring the first nationally televised MMA event to Idaho,” Luaite Soares. “Joe Murphy vs. Jesse Brock is a classic match-up of jiu-jitsu vs. wrestling, but more importantly it’s a clash between a promising prospect and a surging vet. That really makes you appreciate the gravity of this main event in what will be the crown jewel MMA event to take place in the Gem State.”
Eric Trapp, the president of CenturyLink Arena, also expressed his excitement about hosting Idaho’s first nationally televised MMA event.
“We’re excited to help bring such a great event to the state of Idaho and showcase not only our arena, but also our fighters to a nationwide audience on July 3rd,” stated Trapp. “The RFA brand is one of the best out there and CenturyLink Arena is proud to host this event.”
Ticéid le haghaidh RFA 27 – Murphy vs. Brock are available for purchase NOW through CenturyLinkArenaBoise.le.
Murphy (8-2) returns to the RFA octagon after two memorable performances in the RFA octagon within a 9 week span. Murphy made his long-awaited RFA debut this past December in the co-main event of RFA 21 to much fanfare. He more than lived up to expectations with a scintillating first round TKO victory over the highly-touted Bruno Frazatto. 9 weeks later, Murphy headlined RFA 23 against Terrion Ware in what many have pegged as a “An comhrac na Bliana” contender. Murphy is now looking forward to a new challenge as he travels to his next opponent’s hometown.
“Jiu-Jitsu vs. Wrestling is an endless debate. I’m excited to see how I match up against someone with Jesse Brock’s credentials,” said Murphy. “Táimid dóchasach, he sells out the arena on July 3rd, so I get boo’d on my way to the cage. I’m pretty damn good at turning those boos into cheers by the time it’s over.”
Brock (20-8) enters this fight as one of the most experienced bantamweight fighters in RFA history. Brock will be making his RFA debut 9 years after he made his professional MMA debut. The former Boise State wrestling standout has since competed on three continents against some of the biggest names in the sport, which includes bouts against current UFC flyweight champion Demetrious “Mighty Mouse” Johnson, #3 ranked UFC lightweight Donald “Cowboy” Cerrone, and former UFC lightweight title challenger Caol Uno. Brock is currently riding the momentum of a four-fight win streak and is looking forward to parlaying that momentum into the main event of RFA 27.
“This fight is definitely a big deal for me and the entire MMA community in Idaho,” stated Brock. “I feel honored that the RFA picked me to spearhead Idaho’s first nationally televised MMA event. I can’t wait to perform in front of my friends and family at RFA 27.”
An imeacht comh-is mó de RFA 27 will feature two of the sport’s most promising flyweight prospects, when Idaho’s own Czar Sklavos (11-4) battles Jeremy Horn protégé Nick Burgos (9-3). Sklavos, who hails from Twin Falls, Idaho, has secured 9 de chuid 11 wins via submission and has never been finished in a career dating back to March 2010. In his pro debut, he happened to go the distance with current UFC bantamweight champion T.J. Dillashaw. Níos déanaí, Sklavos advanced to the finals of the Vale Tudo Japan flyweight tournament last fall and is eager to test his experience against the talented and red-hot Burgos. Six consecutive opponents over the past two and a half years have been defeated by the Utah based flyweight, but Burgos’ marquee victory came in his most recent bout. That win came over former RFA flyweight champion Matt Manzanares via Unanimous Decision in March.
The feature fight of RFA 27 will be a battle of two explosive heavyweights, who are hungry to make a statement. Jan Jorgensen (7-1) and Dale Sopi (6-1) are a combined 13-0 outside the RFA and are eager to make some noise in the talented RFA heavyweight division. Jorgensen, who was a football star at BYU before transitioning to MMA, trains at The Pit Elevated in Orem, Utah alongside UFC star and TUF 11 champion Court McGee. His opponent Sopi is a native of Nanakuli, Hawaii and trains at Power MMA in Gilbert, Arizona alongside UFC star and TUF 8 champion Ryan Bader. Babhtaí breise ag RFA 27 Beidh a fógraíodh go luath. RFA 27 will be the promotion’s first event to take place in the “Gem State” of Idaho, which will be the 13th state the RFA has held an event.

RFA 26 IN COLORADO
FRIDAY JUNE 5TH LIVE ON AXS TV
PRÍOMH IMEACHTAÍ:
Ben Smith vs Gilbert Smith
WELTERWEIGHT CHAMPIOSNHIP
NÍOS MÓ:
THE RETURN OF BOSTON SALMON, DANNY MAINUS, JARRED MERCADO, AND BRUNO FRAZATTO



LAS VEGAS, Nevada – Aiséirí Alliance Troid (RFA) president Ed Soares announced today that the promotion will be returning to the state of Colorado next month. RFA 26 – Gabha vs. Gabha will feature a main event between two RFA fan favorites. RFA welterweight champion Benjamin Smith returns to face man similar in name and talent. Beidh a chéad defense teideal a bheith i gcoinne #1 contender Gilbert Smith, who will be looking to keep the title from leaving his home state. An ócáid ​​ar siúl Dé hAoine, June 5th at the 1STBANK Center in Broomfield, Colorado. Beidh an cárta ar fad is mó a imreofar beo agus ar fud na tíre ar an AXS teilifíse ag 10 p.m. AGUS / 7 p.m. PT.

“Gabha vs. Smith will be a fantastic welterweight title fight at RFA 26,” Luaite Soares. “Benjamin Smith was completely dominant in winning the title, while Gilbert Smith was valiant in his last title fight by going 5 rounds with a guy who missed weight by 5 punt. Smith and Smith will give Colorado a title fight they deserve.”
Ticéid le haghaidh RFA 26 – Gabha vs. Smith are available for purchase NOW through AltitudeTickets.com. Tús a chur Ticéid ag $25.00. A limited number of catered 8-seat cageside VIP tables are available by calling 303-521-0966.
Benjamin Smith (14-2) returns to the RFA octagon after winning the vacant RFA welterweight strap with a dominant TKO victory over Tat Romero in March. That win came after he bested Josh Cavan in the co-main event of RFA 20 to close out last year. Smith has been perfect in MMA for the past two years and is currently riding a 6-fight winning streak. The surging Minnesota based fighter now looks to solidify his control of the RFA welterweight division with his first title defense.
“It feels great to be defending my title in Coloradan, ós rud é I had a great experience fighting there in November,” Said Smith. “I won the title back in March and this is a great opportunity. It gives me holding status. Gilbert Smith has a great last name. He’s also a really physically strong competitor. I look forward to finishing him and keeping the belt at RFA 26 on June 5th.”
Gilbert Smith (10-4) enters the title fight looking for redemption and some vindication after his first shot at the title in January was hindered when his opponent egregiously missed weight by 5-pounds. The always-game Smith agreed to take the fight anyway, but the brazen weight advantage that his opponent possessed, played a pivotal and unfair role in the outcome of their 5-round affair. Smith is now eager to get his shot at the title on a level playing field.
“An chéad dul síos, I am really excited to be getting this opportunity,” Gabha Mhínigh. “It will be nice to get redemption. I do wish my opponent made weight in the last fight, but I ended up learning a lot from that fight. I was back in the gym on the Wednesday after the fight and I have filled in the holes that I needed to fix. Benjamin Smith is a deserving champion. He’s a good grappler that has been working on his boxing, but he has a similar style to me. That will play to my advantage. I don’t know how, but I will finish him, and get that belt strapped around my waist in front of my friends and family in Colorado.”
RFA 26 will also see the return of former RFA bantamweight title challenger Jarred “Shutout” Mercado (12-2). He faces fellow two-time RFA vet Bruno Frazatto (6-2). Mercado has NCAA Division I wrestling credentials, while Frazatto is a highly-decorated jiu-jitsu black belt. The main card will feature another pair of RFA bantamweights that are both known for their exciting and action-packed fights. Hawaiian striking sensation Boston Salmon (3-0) will look to keep his flawless record intact with a fourth straight TKO win. He will face collegiate wrestler and three-time RFA vet Danny Mainus (3-3) in a bout that has “An comhrac ar an Oíche” scríofa ar fad níos mó ná é.
The co-main event, feature fight, and additional bouts ag RFA 26 Ba mhaithl be announced soon. RFA 26 will be the promotion’s sixth event to take place in the state of Colorado. It will be the second time the RFA has visited “The Centennial State” i 2015.

Nuair Denver, cathair eol do aimsir fuar biting, Briseann taifead do snowfall, b'fhéidir go bhfuil sé is fearr chun fanacht taobh istigh – agus ag ardú welterweight Bojan Velickovic fhianú, “An seomra aclaíochta (Foireann An comhrac in Airde) Dúnadh. Ní raibh aon oiliúint tráthnóna. Tá sé ar mire. Dhá chos sneachta thit agus ceann de na cóistí nach bhféadfaí a dhéanamh (leis an seomra aclaíochta), mar sin shocraigh an t-úinéir a dhúnadh. Is iad na bóithre uafásach. Fuair ​​mé beagnach ina dhá timpistí carr maidin!”

Mar sin, a bheith gafa taobh istigh, Bojan “Caomhnóir” Velickovic (9-3) Rinne roinnt obair bhaile as a chuid bout welterweight le teacht le Chris “An Hitman” Hugh (16-9). An dá chéile ag RFA 24 ar Dé hAoine, 6 Márta ag an Loch Mystic Casino & Óstán i Roimhe Loch, Minnesota. Beidh an bout a imreofar beo agus ar fud na tíre ar an AXS TV. “Tá mé ag abhaile anois ag iarraidh chun rudaí a dhéanamh chun troid agus chun féachaint ar mo chéile comhraic, mo chuid troideanna féin, a dhéanamh ar a laghad rud éigin ós rud é nach féidir liom a traein,” Velickovic Míniú.

Le “An Hitman” Hugh touting streak bua 5-troid i, Velickovic fhios cé chomh dainséarach is a chéile comhraic, “Is é an rud is tábhachtaí le déanamh agam a chur ar mo luas féin agus a fheiceáil conas tá sé ag dul chun freagairt do mo buailte agus wrestling.”

Velickovic Tuigeann nach bhfuil a bhuaigh troid díreach faoi staidéar a chéile comhraic, ach faoi staidéar amháin ar féin, “Hugh Tá 25 troideanna, ach ach dhá troideanna ar YouTube mar sin ní féidir liom staidéar air go bhfuil i bhfad, ach is féidir liom a fheiceáil freisin mo troideanna roimhe agus féach cad a rinne mé dona – agus nach bhfuil na cineálacha botúin arís.”

Oiliúint leis an bhFoireann esteemed comhrac Airde, Velickovic grá na trodaithe Denver-bhunaithe agus giomnáisiam, “Oilte mé a lán le trodaithe UFC Brandon Tuí agus Neil Magny as a troideanna UFC, mar sin mo thuairimse, mo cluiche buailte agus wrestling bhí níos fearr agus, mar i gcónaí, Is maith liom dul i ngleic leis na gnéithe de MMA ina iomláine agus is dóigh liom go bhfuil an méid beidh mé iarracht a dhéanamh ar an troid i (le Hugh).”

Ag an aois 12, Velickovic Thosaigh oiliúint i Judo ar feadh roinnt blianta agus transitioned i kickboxing ag aois 18, “Bhí mé cosúil 7 troideanna amaitéarach agus 7 gairmiúla. Sílim go raibh mo thaifead iomlán 14-2 nó 15-2 – agus ó kickboxing, Aistrigh mé go dtí MMA. Feicim féin anois mar ealaíontóir martial measctha. Is maith liom a bheith go maith i ngach gné. Níl mé ag bacadh rang wrestling chun dul go dtí jiu jitsu-. Tá mé ag iarraidh a bheith ina lá go lá níos fearr i ngach gné de MMA agus go bhfuil mo sprioc.”

Agus nach bhfuil Velickovic fhéach ar ais ó, “Fuair ​​mé go dtí na Stáit Aontaithe tríd an seó réaltacht, “Bóthar go dtí an Fáinne Tine”. Go bunúsach, ar cheann de na cóistí (le haghaidh an seó réaltacht atá le teacht) Bhí MMA Trodaire pro agus dúirt sé liom 'Níl seó réaltacht maith ag teacht suas. Tá tú go maith buailte, cúlra Judo, b'fhéidir go bhfuil sé deis mhaith duit.’ Mar sin, chláraigh mé le haghaidh an seó réaltacht agus cuireadh siad dom. Bhuaigh mé 4 troideanna sa seó agus bhuaigh an seó – agus bhuaigh mé mo chéad 3 troideanna chomh maith.”

Iarratas a dhéanamh ar víosa gairmiúil, Velickovic ina cónaí i stáit ó 2013, áit a raibh sé earcú ag Foireann Barr Meiriceánach (LE) i cnó cócó Creek, Florida, “Chuidigh ATT iarratas ar mo víosa agus tá mé conradh leo do 5 bliana.”

Chuirtear dá mbeadh aon teannas, mar gheall ar scoilteadh a chuid ama idir dhá gyms powerhouse ilbhliantúil (Foireann An comhrac in Airde agus ATT), Velickovic shoiléiriú, “Ná Gan. Tá mé le Foireann Barr Mheiriceá – a lán de na guys ag ATT traein i gyms éagsúla ar feadh cúpla seachtain roimh a n-troid i teacht ar ais ansin go dtí ATT ar feadh cúpla seachtain de sparring agus campaí traenála breise, ach tá siad i gcónaí 'Foireann Barr Meiriceánach’ ar a n-banners.”

Botháin sé freisin solas ar pholaitíocht agus ar sní isteach ar trodaithe a aistriú go ATT, “Tá cúpla guys atá ann lánaimseartha, ach tá trodaithe ar cuairt i gcónaí Florida agus ATT. A lán acu teacht ar ais agus amach ó (áiteanna mar) California, Texas agus fanacht cúpla seachtain, obair ar sparring, agus ansin a théann siad ar ais sa bhaile agus dul san iomaíocht do Fhoireann Barr Mheiriceá agus a n-gyms bhaile dúchais.”

Quick a suaimhneas ní raibh aon fhuil olc nó míthuiscintí le ATT, Deir Velickovic, “Dúirt mé leo go raibh cuireadh mé go dtí Foireann comhrac Airde chun cabhrú le Brandon Tuí agus Neil Magny a fháil réidh le haghaidh a n-troideanna agus ansin shocraigh mé chun fanacht anseo le haghaidh mo champa ar fad do RFA 24. Tá sé ina airde ard, seomra aclaíochta maith, dtimpeallacht mhaith, agus an guys as an seomra aclaíochta glacadh dom gur maith- agus is dóigh liom mé sa bhaile agus go bhfuil an rud is tábhachtaí. Ach má shocraíonn mé a bogadh go Colorado, Beidh mé a chaitheamh go fóill 'Foireann Barr Meiriceánach’ ar mo shorts don chéad chúpla bliain, ó tá mé fós faoi chonradh.”

A bheith ina Trodaire éilíonn go minic go bhfuil caighdeán maireachtála fánach, ag fágáil taobh thiar teaghlach agus cairde chun cur le do scileanna. Troid as Novi Sad, An tSeirbia, Velickovic Labhraíonn ina bhaile dúchais agus an tír fondly beann ar an gheall ar chomh gar de na tíortha cogaíochta, “Is Novi Sad áit an-álainn agus nuair a tharla an Wars Iúgslavach, Novi Sad bhí i bhfad ó na teorann áit a raibh an cogadh agus dóiteáin-troid agus ar bhealach a bhainistiú chun fanacht amach as an choimhlint. Anois tá an tSeirbia curtha síochánta sa deireanach 15-20 bliana.”

Cuireann sé, “D'fhág mé agus tháinig anseo a bheith níos fearr ag MMA, mar gheall ar an timpeallacht oiliúna sa U.S. agus na scileanna an trodaithe i bhfad níos mó chun cinn ná mar a bhaile ar ais. Shíl mé má tháinig mé anseo chun traenáil a dhéanamh le an chuid is fearr, Is féidir liom a bheith le ceann de na fearr. Sin an chúis is mó cén fáth a bhog mé amach go U.S.”

Lawrence (6-2) ar ais go dtí an suíomh ar an bua is mó de a ghairm bheatha. Lúnasa seo caite ag RFA 17, an stalwart 24-bliain d'aois buailte gabhadh an teideal folamh featherweight RFA trí besting Mark Dickman via Cinneadh d'aon ghuth i méid a bhí an-an chéad ceadaithe troid i teideal domhan MMA South Dakota ar. Ba é an bua an dara bua díreach Lawrence ón uair a cheanglaíonn na RFA. Before that he had gained worldwide notoriety as a star on the fifteenth season of the UFC’s hit reality show The Ultimate Fighter, áit a raibh sé ar an chéad Pioc foriomlán. Ar an seó, Spól aird a tharraingt taifeadta tréidlia ko de RFA alúm agus réalta UFC reatha James Krause, chomh maith le PRIDE Lawrence agus deireadh UFC Trodaire Cristiano Marcello. Lawrence, iar dhá-am Lámhainní Órga curadh agus kickboxer maisithe, ach bhí 3-0 taifead i MMA ag an am, ach tháinig an ceathrú ceannais roimh tuilleamh “An comhrac ar an Oíche” agus “Ko den Oíche” bónais as a chuid ko fí de John Cofer i sé ar an bhfoireann UFC. Lawrence, a troideanna as Alliance MMA i Chula Vista, California, Tá fonn a thaispeáint arís a chuid scileanna buailte vaunted ina chéad chosaint teideal featherweight RFA.

“Chomh luath agus a chuala mé ba mhaith liom a bheith a chosaint mo crios i Dakota Theas, Shíl mé go bhfuil sé seo uamhnach,” Lawrence Mhínigh. “Tá an Peinteagán Sanford ar cheann de na hionaid is fearr mé throid riamh i. Bhraith mé compordach, bhí an seomra KRunner mór, agus bhí an slua iontach. Is sam TOOMER lúthchleasaí mór le lámh dheis maith. Feicfidh mé a úsáid as mo thosaíonn, footwork, and out-finesse him. Sé cruthaithe a bheith ina iomaitheoir fiú, ach táim ag súil le a thabhairt dó a chéad caillteanais.”

TOOMER (9-0) Beidh an fear dúshlánach Lawrence do RFA ór. Unlike most top mixed martial artists, like Lawrence, a thagann ó grappling nó chúlraí buailte, Bhí TOOMER imreoir peile ar feadh an tsaoil. Mar sin féin, tá an cosanta peile choláiste 27 bliain d'aois a aistriú rathúil go MMA rinne ais trí úsáid a bhaint a athleticism nádúrtha, smacht, and unbreakable work ethic to compile an impressive 9-0 taifead ó déanamh sé ar an bhfoireann pro trí bliana ó shin. Two of those wins have come in the past eight months after Toomer signed with the RFA. Bhuaigh TOOMER sé ar an bhfoireann RFA ag RFA 15 i mí an Mheithimh le feidhmíocht ceannasach. An comhrac in aon-Thaobh a chonaic a chéile comhraic Daniel Aguiar fháil dícháilithe sa tríú babhta tar éis diúltú chun seasamh agus troid TOOMER. An bua DQ thar Aguiar trí Timidity a chur an t-ainm TOOMER ar an léarscáil featherweight RFA mar contender teideal dlisteanach. I mí na Nollag, TOOMER solidified a chás do lámhaigh teideal le bua comeback valiant thar Lyoto Machida protege Altair Alencar ag RFA 21. TOOMER, a troideanna as an MMA Arena i San Diego, California, Tá ullmhú anois le haghaidh an ngnóthas is mó de a ghairm bheatha Lúthchleas Gael i mí Aibreáin, mar dúshláin sé an RFA curadh ard-touted Lawrence as a chuid teidil.

“Mhothaíonn sé iontach ag fáil le dul i ngleic le haghaidh teidil domhan RFA,” TOOMER luaite. “Mo chéad cúpla taithí leis an RFA a bheith mór, ach tá sé seo mo chéad uair mar an imeacht is mó, agus tá mé ag súil le a bhuaigh an teideal. Is Justin Lawrence chéile comhraic den scoth agus an curadh ar chúis. Tá mé ag súil go mór a bhfuil gcomhrac spreagúil leis ag RFA 25 i Dakota Theas.

An imeacht comh-is mó de RFA 25 Beidh gné freisin troid teideal idir dhá tréidlianna RFA gcrích, a tharlaíonn an dá clocha sneachta ón mBrasaíl.

Tar éis teacht suas gearr ina chéad tairiscint le haghaidh an teideal i mBoston RFA oíche go Jake Collier, a shínigh láithreach ag an UFC, Checco rebounded ar bhealach mór níos luaithe an mhí seo ag RFA 23. He made a huge statement with a blistering first round knockout of the highly-touted The Ultimate Fighter 11 cast member Joseph Henle. Beidh Checco aghaidh anois a countryman eile agus eile jiu jitsu-crios dubh Francisco “Kiko” France (11-3-1) don teideal. France enters the fight with a ton of momentum after steamrolling his first two opponents in the RFA. Lúnasa seo caite, sa chéad turas ar an RFA a Dakota Theas, France submitted local standout Isaac Appel with a first round Kimura. Lean sé suas go rath leis an gcéad bhabhta bailchríoch eile ag RFA 21 i mí na Nollag. Rinne sé a cás do teideal lámhaigh oíche ag seolta Bellator VET Mikey Gomez le chéad bhabhta lámh-Triantán Choke.

Cuireann Curran, “Ach, den chuid is mó, Ní raibh mé ag iarraidh a bheith an dara is fearr, Riamh ag iarraidh mé a bheith ar an meán mar Trodaire. Chomh luath agus bhraith mé go raibh imithe ar an aisling nó go raibh an deis imithe a dhreapadh ar ais go dtí an UFC, le dul i ngleic leis an guys is fearr sa domhan, Bhraith mé go raibh sé is fearr chun stop a chur ós mo príomh chineál ar a rith.”

Mar sin féin, tar éis introspection cúramach agus an fonn chun leanúint ar aghaidh ag troid smoldering, Curran chinn chun dlús a chur ar ais isteach sa Cage. “Bhí mé a bhuaigh an gcomhrac, bhuaigh an crios, agus dul amach ar an mbarr. Bhraith mé go mbeadh sé a bheith ina bhealach fíor admirable dul ar scor, ach ní raibh sé dul ar mo bhealach. Mar sin, ar scor mé – agus ní shuigh sé go maith liom,” Mhínigh Curran. “Agus an t-am níos mó a chuaigh ar, Bhraith mé an gá atá le dul i ngleic. Thosaigh mé a chuardach le haghaidh deiseanna agus fuair RFA deis dom chun troid arís. Mar sin, anseo tá mé.”

Róil juggling mar fhear teaghlaigh, fear gnó, cóiste, agus a d'fhéadfadh a dhéanamh ar Trodaire ceann casadh roinnt daoine, ach a mhíníonn Curran, “Bhí mé mo seomra aclaíochta sula raibh mé mo chéad troid i, mar sin bhí mé úsáid i gcónaí don fhreagracht atá ar scoilteadh mo chuid ama, ach anois tá sé a lán níos doimhne ná a úsáidtear é a bheith mar go bhfuil mo chuid trodaithe ag leibhéil éagsúla agus a cheangal ar níos mó ama. Tá gnó ar leibhéal difriúil – agus tá mé beirt bhuachaillí atá ag fás níos tapúla ag an lá agus tá mé mo bhean chéile. Níl freagracht ar fud an bord agus tá sé níos mó ná mar a bhí sé sceideal-ciallmhar ná ar ais nuair a bhí mé ag oscailt scoil. Yeah, tá sé go leor chun juggle, ach is féidir liom é.”

Trí go léir a chuid freagrachtaí, Coinníonn Curran díriú ar a troid i teacht leis an contúirteacha Melvin Blumer, “Labhraíonn A streak bua imleabhar, go háirithe sa Midwest mar go bhfuil a lán de na guys tú troid go leor den chineál céanna i neart agus scil atá leagtha, sin a gheobhaidh tú an iomaíocht diana agus tionscnóirí áitiúla sa Midwest atá á lorg i gcónaí a chur ar troideanna maith. A Guy a bhfuil 11-2 (Blumer) agus ar streak bua 5-troid i is go hiontach dom agus tá sé go díreach cad ba mhaith liom.”

Míníonn Curran breise, “Níl mé ag iarraidh dul i ngleic le roinnt thóin nó troid duine éigin a fhios agam gur féidir liom a buille. Ba mhaith liom duine éigin is féidir a dúshlán dom chun troid agus in iúl dom má tá mé bhaineann go fóill sa chluiche nó a thabhairt dom an chiall ceart hIodáile má bua mé, mar sin tá Blumer chéile comhraic iontach. Tá Blumer diana. Mé a thabhairt dó go leor maidir le oiliúint mo thóin de thalamh agus a chóireáil air mar deich barr Guy. Ach leis sin á rá, Tá a fhios agam Tá mé barr deich scoth, mar sin tá mé ag tabhairt gach rud a fuair mé agus sílim go mbeidh sé a dhéanamh le haghaidh troid maith.”

Agus cad é an chéad chéim eile Curran le bua? Fiú nach bhfuil sé cinnte, “Níl a fhios agam cad é mo bhogadh amach romhainn. Ní raibh mé a dhéanamh cinnte ar bhealach cinneadh amháin nó eile. Chun a bheith macánta, Tá a fhios agam nuair a chaill mé, Ní raibh scor oiriúnach go maith liom, ach leis an gceart a bhuachan é d'fhéadfadh is dóichí, ach ag an am céanna leis an bua ceart, Is féidir liom a fháil ar aird an UFC agus cinneadh a dhéanamh más mian liom a chase mo chéad bua UFC.”

Ar Dé hAoine, 6 Márta, Beidh Curran agus faire gach duine a bheith wondering cad é an “Big Frog ar” Beidh fiontair eile sa saol a bheith.

I MMA, mar chuid is mó spóirt, tá adage sean a bhí déanta go coitianta de réir aisteoir Will Smith a deir, “Má fhanann tú réidh, Ní gá duit a fháil réidh.” Is é sin ar cheann de na prionsabail a bhfuil cónaí Oklahoma dúchais agus sliseanna gorm ionchas MMA Jamal Páirceanna ag. Páirceanna chur leis na focail ar eagna i bhfeidhm go hiomlán an tseachtain seo caite. Just a cúig lá a chur as a ghairm bheatha a cúig bua MMA i gcúig comórtais, Páirceanna Ghlac fonnmhar leis an dúshlán atá romhainn i láthair dó ina shaol Lúthchleas Gael iontach cheana.

Sin dúshlán a tháinig nuair a bhí iachall undefeated RFA réalta Sam TOOMER amach na seachtaine seo chugainn RFA 23 cárta i Costa Mesa, California le gortú a tharla go déanach ina champa traenála.

Tagann an freagra ar an cheist i bhfoirm Páirceanna, atá in úsáid chun iomaíocht i gcoinne lúthchleasaithe den scoth i wrestling agus tá chun leanúint ar aghaidh oidhreacht fada wrestlers Oklahoma Stáit a blossomed i réaltaí MMA. Áirítear an liosta Randy Couture, Johny Hendricks, Daniel Cormier, Mark Muñoz, Jake Rosholt, Jared ROSHOLT, Shane sorcóir, Mo Lawal, chomh maith le tréidlianna RFA Steve Mocco agus Tyler Shinn.

“Is deis iontach agus tá mé réidh chun solais sé suas,” Dúirt an Páirceanna corraithe, who is now set to travel to southern California this week to participate on the biggest stage of his promising MMA career.

Bhí Páirceanna trí-am scoile ard curadh wrestling stáit i Oklahoma, ag freastal ar an Aontas High School i Tulsa, Oklahoma. Wrestled sé ansin taobh Jared ROSHOLT agus Shinn ag Oklahoma Stáit agus tháinig chun bheith ina Rannán NCAA I Uile-Mheiriceánach a séasúr shinsearach.

Beidh sé a bheith os comhair freisin ar an tástáil misniúla ar a ghairm bheatha i Barcelos.

Féach leat, Ní Barcelos do crios tipiciúil jiu jitsu dubh-. Tá sé freisin ina wrestler gcrích tar éis uair ina bhall den Fhoireann Náisiúnta Wrestling Brasaíle. Barcelos, a fuair a crios jiu jitsu dubh-ag aois 20, Bhuaigh teideal náisiúnta na Brasaíle i saorstíle wrestling an bhliain chéanna. Is Barcelos freisin an comhpháirtí oiliúna is mó a UFC kingpin featherweight Jose Aldo. Is é sin an pedigree go leor chun scanradh ar shiúl go leor opponents féideartha fiú le campa traenála iomlán a ullmhú. Mar sin féin, Páirceanna úr as a cúigiú bua agus nua sínithe il-troid i déileáil le RFA, mothaíonn go bhfuil sé níos mó ná réidh le haghaidh an dúshlán agus is fonn a bheith rannpháirteach sa chuid is mó ard-Geallta MMA bout a career.Parks agus Barcelos chéile i bout featherweight ar an gcárta is mó de RFA 23 – Murphy vs. Earraí arDé hAoine, 6 Feabhra.
