CenturyLinkArenaBoise.com

LAS VEGAS, Nevada – Alleanza Fighting Qawmien (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. RFA fan favorite Joe Murphy returns to face the powerhouse Jesse Brock, li huwa wieħed mill-ġellieda MMA aktar mwettqa għall-dar Idaho. L-avveniment iseħħ il-ġimgħa, July 3rd at the CenturyLink Arena in Boise, Idaho. Il-karta ewlenija kollu se tixxandar live u nazzjon fuq AXS TV fil-livelli 10 p.m. U / 7 p.m. PT.
“I’m excited to bring the first nationally televised MMA event to Idaho,” Iddikjarat Soares. “Joe Murphy vs. Jesse Brock is a classic match-up of jiu-jitsu vs. lotta, 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.”
Biljetti għall RFA 27 – Murphy vs. Brock are available for purchase NOW through CenturyLinkArenaBoise.ma.
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 “Ġlieda tas-Sena” konkorrent. 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. “Nisperaw, 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.”
L-avveniment ko-prinċipali ta '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 ta 'dmirijietu 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. Aktar reċentement, 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 Jørgensen (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. Bouts addizzjonali fil RFA 27 se jitħabbru dalwaqt. 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. Il-karta ewlenija kollu ta 'RFA 27 – Murphy vs. Brock will be televised live and nationwide on AXS TV at 10 p.m. U / 7 p.m. PT nhar il-Ġimgħa, July 3rd.

RFA 26 IN COLORADO

AVVENIMENT MAIN:
Ben Smith vs Gilbert Smith
WELTERWEIGHT CHAMPIOSNHIP
AKTAR:
THE RETURN OF BOSTON SALMON, DANNY MAINUS, JARRED MERCADO, AND BRUNO FRAZATTO



LAS VEGAS, Nevada – Alleanza Fighting Qawmien (RFA) president Ed Soares announced today that the promotion will be returning to the state of Colorado next month. RFA 26 – Smith vs. Smith will feature a main event between two RFA fan favorites. RFA welterweight champion Benjamin Smith returns to face man similar in name and talent. Ewwel difiża titolu tiegħu se jkun kontra #1 contender Gilbert Smith, who will be looking to keep the title from leaving his home state. L-avveniment iseħħ il-ġimgħa, June 5th at the 1STBANK Center in Broomfield, Colorado. Il-karta ewlenija kollu se tixxandar live u nazzjon fuq AXS TV fil-livelli 10 p.m. U / 7 p.m. PT.

“Smith vs. Smith will be a fantastic welterweight title fight at RFA 26,” Iddikjarat 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 liri. Smith and Smith will give Colorado a title fight they deserve.”
Biljetti għall RFA 26 – Smith vs. Smith are available for purchase NOW through AltitudeTickets.com. Biljetti tibda fil $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 Coloradl-, peress 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.
“Ewwel u qabel kollox, I am really excited to be getting this opportunity,” Smith spjegat. “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 “Ġlieda tal-Lejl” miktub kollha fuqha.
The co-main event, feature fight, and additional bouts fi RFA 26 tridl 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” fil 2015.

Meta Denver, belt magħrufa għal temp kiesaħ gdim, pawżi rekord għal borra, forsi huwa aħjar li wieħed jibqa 'f'daru – u welterweight jogħlew Bojan Velickovic jistgħu jaffermaw, “Il ġinnasju (Team Ġlieda Elevazzjoni) ngħalqet. Ma kien hemm ebda taħriġ li wara nofsinhar. Huwa crazy. Żewġ saqajn ta 'borra waqgħu u wieħed mill-coaches ma setgħetx tagħmel dan (għall-ġinnasju), hekk is-sid ddeċidiet li tagħlaq. Il-toroq huma orribbli. I kważi ltqajna fis f'żewġ inċidenti tal-karozzi dalgħodu!”

Allura wieħed jinqabad ġewwa, Bojan “Guardian” Velickovic (9-3) għamilt xi huiswerk għal bout tiegħu welterweight jmiss ma 'Chris “Il Hitman” Hugh (16-9). Il jiltaqa tnejn fuq RFA 24 fuq Il-ġimgħa, Marzu 6 fil-Mystic Lake Casino & Hotel fil Qabel Lake, Minnesota. Il bout se tixxandar live u nazzjon fuq AXS TV. “Jien dar issa tipprova tagħmel affarijiet għall-ġlieda u biex watch avversarju tiegħi, tissielet tiegħi stess, biex tagħmel inqas xi ħaġa peress I ma tista 'ferrovija,” Velickovic Explained.

Bil “Il Hitman” Hugh touting 5-ġlieda win Streak, Velickovic jaf kif perikolużi avversarju tiegħu huwa, “L-aktar ħaġa importanti I għandek tagħmel huwa li tpoġġi pass tiegħi stess u ara kemm hu għaddej biex jirreaġixxu għall impressjonanti tiegħi u lotta.”

Velickovic jirrealizza li tirbaħ ġlieda mhix biss dwar l-istudju opponent, iżda dwar l-istudju awto wieħed, “Hugh għandha 25 tissielet, iżda biss żewġ tissielet fuq YouTube so I ma tista 'studju lilu li ħafna, imma I tista 'tara wkoll tissielet preċedenti tiegħi u ara dak li għamilt ħażin – u ma tagħmel dawk it-tipi ta 'żbalji mill-ġdid.”

Taħriġ bl-Elevazzjoni Tim Ġlieda stmata, Velickovic iħobb l-ġellieda bbażati Denver-u ġinnasju, “I mħarrġa ħafna ma 'ġellieda UFC Brandon Thatch u Neil Magny għall-ġlied UFC tagħhom, so I think logħba impressjonanti tiegħi u lotta sar aħjar u, kif dejjem, I simili għall-ġlieda kontra l-aspetti ta MMA kollha kemm hi u naħseb dan huwa dak I ser jipprova jagħmel għal din il-ġlieda (ma Hugh).”

Fl-età ta ' 12, Velickovic beda taħriġ fl Judo għal diversi snin u transitioned fis Kickboxing fl-età ta ' 18, “Kelli like 7 tissielet dilettanti u 7 professjonali. I think rekord tiegħi kien total 14-2 jew 15-2 – u minn Kickboxing, I jinqalbu għal MMA. Nara lili nnifsi issa bħala artist marzjali mħallta. I simili li tkun tajba fl-aspetti kollha. Jien ma taqbeż is-site klassi lotta biex tmur Jiu-Jitsu. Jien biss tipprova ssir aħjar ta 'kuljum f'kull aspett tal-MMA u li l-għan tiegħi.”

U Velickovic ma ħares lura peress, “I ltqajna biex l-Istati Uniti permezz tal-ispettaklu realtà, “Road għall-Ring of Fire”. Bażikament, wieħed mill-coaches (għall-realtà turi li jmiss) kien ġellied MMA pro u told me "Hemm realtà juru tajjeb ġejjin up. Inti għandek impressjonanti tajba, sfond Judo, forsi huwa opportunità tajba għalik.’ So I irreġistrata għall-ispettaklu realtà u huma stieden lili. I rebaħ 4 tissielet fl-ispettaklu u rebaħ l-ispettaklu – u I rebaħ tiegħi li jmiss 3 tissielet kif ukoll.”

Japplikaw għal viża professjonali, Velickovic għex fl-istati peress 2013, fejn kien reklutat minn American Top Team (LI) fil Coconut Creek, Florida, “ATT għen japplikaw għall-viża tiegħi u jien jkollhom kuntratt magħhom għal 5 snin.”

Mistoqsi jekk kienx hemm xi tensjoni, minħabba l-qsim ħin tiegħu bejn żewġ gyms Powerhouse perenni (Team Ġlieda Elevazzjoni u ATT), Velickovic kkjarifikat, “Do Mhux. Jien ma American Top Team – lott ta 'guys fil-ferrovija ATT fil-gyms differenti għal ftit ġimgħat qabel il-ġlieda tagħhom imbagħad jiġu lura ATT għal ftit ġimgħat ta' sparring u l-kampijiet ta 'taħriġ addizzjonali, iżda dawn dejjem ikollhom "American Top Team’ fuq banners tagħhom.”

Huwa wkoll jitfa 'dawl fuq il-politika u l-influss fuq ġellieda li jemigraw biex ATT, “Hemm koppja ta 'guys li hemm full-time, imma ġellieda huma dejjem iżuru Florida u ATT. Ħafna minnhom jiġu lura u lura mill- (postijiet bħal) California, Texas u jibqgħu ftit ġimgħat, xogħol fuq sparring, u mbagħad dawn imorru lura d-dar u jikkompetu għall-Amerikana Top Team u gyms Hometown tagħhom.”

Quick biex iserraħ ras ma kien hemm l-ebda demm ħażina jew nuqqas ta 'ftehim ma' ATT, Velickovic jgħid, “I qaltilhom li kien I mistiedna biex Elevazzjoni Team Ġlieda biex jgħinu Brandon Thatch u Neil Magny mħejija għall-ġlied tagħhom u mbagħad I iddeċidiet li tissospendi hawn għal kamp kollu tiegħi għal RFA 24. Huwa altitudni għolja, ġinnasju tajba, ambjent tajjeb, u l-guys mill-ġinnasju jaċċettaw me verament tajba- u inħoss jien dar u dak l-iktar ħaġa importanti. Imma jekk I jiddeċiedu li jimxu lejn Colorado, I xorta se jilbsu "American Top Team’ fuq xorts tiegħi għall-koppja li jmiss ta 'snin, peress li jien xorta taħt kuntratt.”

Being qlubija spiss teħtieġ l-eżistenza nomadiċi, u tħalli warajha familja u ħbieb biex ikomplu l-ħiliet tiegħek. Il-ġlieda kontra out ta Novi Sad, Serbja, Velickovic titkellem ta 'Hometown tiegħu u l-pajjiż fondly irrispettivament mill-prossimità mill-qrib tal-pajjiżi li qed jiġġieldu, “Novi Sad huwa post sabiħ ħafna u meta l-Gwerer Jugożlavi seħħew, Novi Sad kien 'il bogħod mill-fruntiera fejn il-gwerra u ġlieda nar kien u b'xi mod irnexxielu jibqgħu barra mis-kunflitt. Issa Serbja kien paċifika fl-aħħar 15-20 snin.”

Huwa jżid, “I xellug u waslet hawn biex issir aħjar fuq MMA, minħabba li l-ambjent ta 'taħriġ fil-U.S. u l-ħiliet tal-ġellieda huma ħafna aktar avvanzati minn dar lura. Ħsibt jekk Wasalt hawn biex iħarrġu l-aħjar, I tista 'ssir ma' waħda mill-aħjar. Dik hija r-raġuni ewlenija għaliex I mċaqalqa barra biex U.S.”

Ewwel difiża titolu tiegħu se jkun kontra #1 konkorrent “Super” Sam Toomer, li se tkun qed tfittex li żżomm rekord undefeated tiegħu intatti. Fil-każ ta 'ko-prinċipali, Gabriel “Zangief” Checco jissodisfa sħabi Brażil nattiva u RFA vet Francisco “Kiko” Franza għat-titlu middleweight. L-avveniment iseħħ Il-ġimgħa, April 10 fil-Pentagon Sanford fl Sioux Falls, South Dakota. Il-karta ewlenija kollu se tixxandar live u nazzjon fuq AXS TV fil-livelli 10 p.m. U / 7 p.m. PT.

“I’m excited to announce that the RFA is returning to South Dakota with two title fights at RFA 25,” Iddikjarat Soares. “Justin Lawrence huwa l-ewwel persuna li tirbaħ it-titolu sanzjonati dinja MMA fl-istat ta 'South Dakota. Huwa se tiddefendi lilha għall-ewwel darba kontra undefeated Sam Toomer fil-każ prinċipali. Fil-ko-headliner, Gabriel Checco u Francisco Franza se ġlieda għall-vakanti titolu middleweight RFA.”

Lawrence (6-2) ritorni lejn is-sit ta 'l-akbar rebħa tal-karriera tiegħu. F'Awissu li għadda fi RFA 17, l stalwart impressjonanti ta '24 sena qodma maqbuda l-vakanti titolu featherweight RFA mill besting Mark Dickman via Deċiżjoni unanimu fil dak li kien sanzjonat ħafna ewwel ġlieda MMA titolu dinja South Dakota. Il-rebħa kienet it-tieni rebħa dritta Lawrence peress li tgħaqqad il-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, fejn kien l-ewwel pick globali. Fuq l-ispettaklu, Lawrence rukkell jenfasizzaw rrekordjata vet KO ta 'alumi RFA u stilla UFC attwali James Krause kif ukoll PRIDE u eventwali ġellied UFC Cristiano Marcello. Lawrence, ta 'żewġ time eks Golden Ingwanti champion u kickboxer dekorati, kellhom biss 3-0 rekord fl MMA fil-ħin, iżda laħqu l-kwarti tal-finali qabel jaqilgħu “Ġlieda tal-Lejl” u “KO tal-Lejl” bonuses għall KO vizzjuż tiegħu ta 'John Cofer fil debutt UFC tiegħu. Lawrence, li tissielet minn Alliance MMA fil Chula Vista, California, hija ħerqana li għal darb'oħra nuru l-ħiliet tiegħu impressjonanti vantat fl-ewwel difiża RFA titolu featherweight tiegħu.

“Ladarba I smajt Inkun jiddefendi ċinturin tiegħi fil South Dakota, Ħsibt li dan huwa tal-biża,” Lawrence spjegat. “Il Pentagon Sanford huwa wieħed mill-aħjar postijiet jien qatt ġġieldu fil. I felt komdu, il-kamra locker kien kbir, u l-folla kienet meraviljuż. Sam Toomer huwa atleta kbir bi lemin tajba. I ser ikollhom biex jużaw kicks tiegħi, footwork, and out-finesse him. Hu ppruvat li jkun isfidant denja, imma jien bil-ħerqa li tagħtih ewwel telf tiegħu.”

Toomer (9-0) se jkun il-bniedem sfida Lawrence għad-deheb RFA. Unlike most top mixed martial artists, like Lawrence, li ġejjin minn jitħabtu jew sfondi impressjonanti, Toomer kien plejer tal-futbol tul il-ħajja. Madankollu, l difensiva futbol kulleġġ 27-il sena back għamlet transizzjoni b'suċċess lejn MMA billi jutilizzaw athleticism naturali tiegħu, dixxiplina, and unbreakable work ethic to compile an impressive 9-0 rekord peress li tagħmel id-debutt pro tiegħu tliet snin ilu. Two of those wins have come in the past eight months after Toomer signed with the RFA. Toomer rebaħ debutt RFA tiegħu fil RFA 15 f'Ġunju bi prestazzjoni dominanti. Il-ġlieda one-sided raw avversarju tiegħu Daniel Aguiar nikseb skwalifikat fit-tielet rawnd wara li rrifjutaw li joħorġu u l-ġlieda Toomer. Il-rebħa DQ fuq Aguiar via timidity tpoġġi l-isem Toomer fuq il-mappa featherweight RFA bħala konkorrent titolu leġittimu. F'Diċembru, Toomer solidifikat każ tiegħu għal xi sparatura titolu ma rimonta rebħa Valiant fuq protégé Lyoto Machida Altair Alencar fil RFA 21. Toomer, li tissielet out ta 'L-MMA Arena f'San Diego, California, issa huwa gearing up għall-impriża akbar tal-karriera atletiċi tiegħu f'April, dan jikkontesta l-ċampjin RFA ferm touted Lawrence għat-titolu tiegħu.

“Hija tħoss kbira jkollna għall-ġlieda għall titolu dinja RFA,” Toomer iddikjarat. “Ewwel koppja ta 'esperjenzi tiegħi ma' l-RFA kienu kbar, iżda dan huwa tiegħi ewwel darba bħala l-avveniment prinċipali u nistenna bil-ħerqa li tirbaħ it-titolu. Justin Lawrence huwa opponent eċċellenti u l-champion għal raġuni. Jien ħerqana li jkollhom ġlieda eċċitanti miegħu fil RFA 25 fil South Dakota.

L-avveniment ko-prinċipali ta 'RFA 25 wkoll karatteristika ġlieda titolu bejn żewġ veterinarji RFA akkomplit, li jiġri li kemm silġ mill-Brażil. Gabriel “Zangief” Checco (8-1) għamel id-debutt internazzjonali tiegħu f'Ottubru fil-każ prinċipali ta 'RFA 19. Wara ġejjin up qasir fl-ewwel offerta tiegħu għat-titlu middleweight RFA dak il-lejl biex Jake Collier, li kien immedjatament ffirmat mill-UFC, Checco reġa 'beda b'mod kbar aktar kmieni dan ix-xahar fil 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. Checco issa se jiffaċċjaw countryman sħabi tiegħu u sħabi Jiu-Jitsu ċinturin iswed Francisco “Kiko” Franza (11-3-1) għat-titlu. France enters the fight with a ton of momentum after steamrolling his first two opponents in the RFA. F'Awissu li għadda, fl-ewwel vjaġġ tal-RFA biex South Dakota, France submitted local standout Isaac Appel with a first round Kimura. Huwa segwa up li s-suċċess bl-ewwel finitura ieħor tond fuq RFA 21 f'Diċembru. Hu għamel l-każ tiegħu għal titlu tir li lejl mill dispaċċ vet Bellator Mikey Gomez bl-ewwel round Arm-Trijangolu Ċowk.

RFA 25 se timmarka l-ritorn ta 'żewġ aktar veterinarji RFA fid-diviżjoni flyweight. Abel “Il Assassin Silent” Cullum (20-6) Se jkun twaqqa 'l isfel għal 125 liri għall-ewwel darba fil-karriera tiegħu MMA storied imb'wiċċ Sioux Falls Josh nattiva “Il Rage” Rave (24-11). Cullum għamel rimonta storybook dan it-tnaqqis fil-passat wara hiatus ta 'tliet snin mill-isport. Fil debutt RFA tiegħu fil RFA 18, Cullum sottomessa vet UFC Ulysses Gomez fil 89 sekondi. Erba 'ġimgħat wara fil RFA 19, huwa ppreżenta prospett quċċata Carl Deaton III fit-tieni rawnd. Cullum issa qtar stabbiliti għad-diviżjoni flyweight jiffaċċjaw Rave, li huwa l-flyweight MMA ġlied aktar akkomplit fl-istorja South Dakota. Rave se tkun ukoll riding intestatura momentum fis din il-ġlieda. Hu rebaħ tlieta mill-aħħar erba 'bouts tiegħu peress li tagħmel id-debutt RFA tiegħu fil RFA 2.

 

Fid-diviżjoni ħfief, RFA 25 se karatteristika l-ritorn ta 'T.J. “Il Karnivoru” Hepburn (4-0), li huwa żmien twil RFA fan favoriti. Huwa wkoll l- 2012 NCAA Division II wrestling national champion at 157 lbs. Hepburn se jiffaċċjaw sħabi prospett ħfief undefeated fl Larue “Il Cannibal” Burley (5-0), li se tkun qed tagħmel id-debutt tiegħu RFA ħafna antiċipat. Burley hija magħrufa bħala l-bniedem li taw blue-chip MMA prospett Bubba Jenkins ewwel telf tiegħu fl MMA.

 

Jenkins coincidentally fought on the same RFA 3 card kif Hepburn u huwa l- 2011 NCAA Division I lotta champion nazzjonali 157 lbs.

The main card will be rounded out with a middleweight bout pitting Anderson Silva protégé Khalil “Gwerra Horse” ROUNTREE (2-0) kontra Roufusport prospett Cameron Olsen (2-0) u bout flyweight li se tara prospett flyweight top-ranked Geane Herrera (7-0) battalja Ben Nguyen f'daqqa (13-5). Nguyen bħalissa huwa riding ta 'seba' ġlieda win Streak u ser jirritorna dar għal Sioux Falls wara li tagħmel isem għalih innifsu fl-Awstralja.

Il-karta preliminari huwa wkoll mgħobbija. Favourites fann lokali u veterinarji RFA Jordon Larson (5-1), Devin Clark (3-0), u Devin Turner (2-2) huma jirritornaw għall-ġlieda kontra fuq l-vjaġġ tar-ritorn ħafna antiċipat tal-RFA għall Hometown tagħhom ta 'Sioux Falls, South Dakota. Larson defeated Donavon Winters in his RFA debut at RFA 17 f'Awissu fi bout welterweight ferm divertenti. He will face Jarrod L’Heureux (7-1) fi rematch eagerly antiċipat.

Jeff CURRAN: DO NOT SEJĦA IT rimonta!

RFA 24 IN MINNESOTA

6TH il-ġimgħa MARZU LIVE FUQ AXS TV

MILL K. David Bena

UFC, PRIDE, WEC, WFA, IFLA, Strikeforce. Biss ONE FIGHTER stinka għal kulħadd sitta minn dawn il-promozzjonijiet li huma bħalissa taħt l-umbrella Zuffa. Li ġellied? Jeff “Big żrinġijiet” Curran.

Curran truf irtirar tiegħu 19-il xahar u jidħol fil-ottagonu fil RFA 24 fuq Il-ġimgħa, Marzu 6 fil-Mystic Lake Casino & Hotel fil Qabel Lake, Minnesota. L-avveniment se tixxandar live u nazzjon fuq AXS TV. Il bantamweight veteran, Curran (36-16-1) se tittestja mettle tiegħu fl-eventwalità ko prinċipali kontra l-Melvin Blumer f'daqqa (11-2) li qed touting 5-ġlieda win Streak.

Think lura għall 1991… X'kont qed tagħmel? Well, Curran kien wiesa eyed 14-il sena qodma li ddeċieda li jħarreġ Jiu-Jitsu. Curran jispjega, “Ewwel klassi My, Tgħallimt xi ħaġa imsejħa "żebgħa l-art’ magħrufa wkoll bħala Americana u kont naf dan huwa dak li ridt tagħmel u I biss kompliet taħriġ Jiu-Jitsu qatt peress. I tinżamm l-enfasi fuq myself bħala atleta u qlubija u ħaġa waħda tinżamm jwassal għall-ieħor.”

Fast-quddiem sa Awissu 16, 2013 fi RFA 9, Curran mitlufa deċiżjoni qasma fil-ġlieda titolu bantamweight kontra Pedro Munhoz. “I rtirati wara l-aħħar ġlieda tiegħi fil-RFA. Stajt ġġieldu għal titolu dinja u kienu f'kull juru maġġuri fl-isport u kien ġlieda, f'dak iż-żmien, għall 17 snin. I biss ħassew li man-negozju tiegħi u l-ġinnasju, fejn I kien f'dak l-istadju fil-ħajja tiegħi, gidjien tiegħi u l-familja, Ħsibt li kien żmien li jirtiraw.”

Curran żżid, “Iżda, prinċipalment, I ma riedx li tkun it-tieni l-aħjar, Jien qatt ma riedu li jkun medju bħala ġellied. Ladarba I ħass il-ħolma kienet marret jew l-opportunità kienet marret biex jitilgħu lura lill-UFC, għall-ġlieda kontra l-guys aqwa fid-dinja, I ħass li kien aħjar li tieqaf peress prime tiegħi tip ta għadda.”

Madankollu, wara introspection bir-reqqa u x-xewqa smoldering li jkomplu ġlied, Curran iddeċidew li pass lura fil-gaġġa. “Jien ridt li tirbaħ il-ġlieda, jirbħu l-ċinturin, u jmorru fuq nett. I ħass li jkun mod admirable reali biex jirtiraw, iżda hija ma tmurx tiegħi mod. So I rtirati – u qatt ma sib ukoll miegħi,” Curran spjegat. “U l-aktar ħin li marru fuq, I ħass il-ħtieġa tal-ġlieda. I bdiet tfittex għal opportunitajiet u RFA misjuba opportunità għalija biex jiġġieldu darb'oħra. Allura hawnhekk I am.”

Juggling rwoli bħala raġel tal-familja, bniedem tan-negozju, coach, u ġlied jista 'jagħmel spin ras xi nies, imma Curran jispjega, “Kelli ġinnasju tiegħi qabel I kellhom ġlieda ewwel tiegħi, so I kien dejjem użat għar-responsabbiltà ta 'qsim ħin tiegħi, iżda issa huwa ħafna aktar fil-fond milli jintuża biex tkun minħabba ġellieda tiegħi huma f'livelli differenti u jeħtieġu aktar ħin. Business huwa wkoll fuq livell differenti – u Għandi żewġ subien li qed jikbru malajr mill-jum u I għandhom marti. Hemm responsabbiltà madwar l-bord u huwa aktar milli kien 'skeda għaqli milli lura meta I kien jiftħu skola. Yeah, huwa ħafna juggle, imma jien jagħmlu dan.”

Permezz responsabbiltajiet kollha tiegħu, Curran żżomm tiffoka għall-ġlieda li jmiss tiegħu mal-Melvin Blumer perikolużi, “Rebħa tiegħu Streak titkellem volumi, speċjalment fil-punent nofsani minħabba ħafna mill-guys inti ġlieda huma pjuttost simili fil-qawwa u s-sengħa sett, hekk ikollok l-kompetizzjoni iebsa u promoturi lokali fil-punent nofsani huma dejjem tfittex li jitpoġġew fuq tissielet tajba. A Guy li hija 11-2 (Blumer) u fuq 5-ġlieda win Streak huwa impressjonanti lili u huwa eżattament dak li nixtieq.”

Curran tkompli tispjega, “Ma rridx biex jiġġieldu xi BUM jew għall-ġlieda xi ħadd I know I tista 'taħbit. Irrid li jiġġieldu xi ħadd li jista 'jisfida lili u let me know jekk I għadhom jappartjenu fil-logħba jew jagħtu me l-sens dritt ta' tlestija jekk nirbaħ, hekk Blumer s avversarju kbir. Blumer hija iebsa. I jagħtih rigward biżżejjed biex iħarrġu ħmar tiegħi off u jikkura lilu bħala top għaxar Guy. Iżda ma 'dak li qal, Naf jien aqwa għaxar kalibru, hekk jien jġibu kollox sibt u naħseb li se tagħmel għal ġlieda tajba.”

U dak li huwa pass li Curran ta jmiss b'rebħa? Anke hu ma jkunx ċert, “I do not know dak pass li jmiss tiegħi huwa. I ma tagħmel definit mod deċiżjoni jew ieħor. Biex inkun onest, I know I meta mitlufa, irtirar ma tajbin tajjeb miegħi, iżda bil-dritt jirbaħ l-aktar probabbli jista, iżda fl-istess ħin mal-win dritt, I jistgħu jiksbu l-attenzjoni tal-UFC u tiddeċiedi jekk irrid li chase ewwel rebħa tiegħi UFC.”

Fuq Il-ġimgħa, Marzu 6, Curran u jaraw kulħadd se tkun qed tistaqsi x'inhuma l- “Big żrinġijiet tal-” venture li jmiss fil-ħajja se jkun.

Fil MMA, bħal ħafna sports, hemm qawl antik li kien sar popolari minn attur Will Smith li jiddikjara, “Jekk inti toqgħod lest, inti ma għandekx biex tikseb lesta.” Din hija waħda mill-prinċipji li native Oklahoma u blue-chip prospett MMA Jamal Parks jgħix billi. Parks tpoġġi dawn il-kliem ta 'għerf fis effett sħiħ din il-ġimgħa tal-passat. Just amest ijiem jitneħħa mill-ħames karriera tiegħu rebħa MMA fil-ħames kompetizzjonijiet, Parks eagerly aċċettaw l-isfida li jmiss ippreżentat lilu fil-karriera atletiċi tiegħu diġà spettakolari.

Dik l-isfida daħal meta undefeated star RFA Sam Toomer kienet sfurzata off ta RFA ġimgħa d-dieħla 23 card fil-Kosta Mesa, California ma 'korriment tard fil kamp tat-taħriġ tiegħu. Toomer ġie stabbilit biex jiffaċċjaw Raoni Barcelos, li huwa wieħed mill-prospetti featherweight aktar ħafna touted fil MMA. Barcelos huwa iben iswed u aħmar ċinturin 7 grad Jiu-Jitsu Laerte Barcelos u ġie groomed għal greatness fil isports miġġielda peress li l-età ta 'sentejn. Li xellug ħafna mintix li jkunu kapaċi biex iżidu u l-isfida l-wunderkind Brażiljan b'mod adegwat fuq żmien qasir bħal dawn.

It-tweġiba għal din id-domanda taqa 'fil-forma ta' Parks, li hija użata biex jikkompetu kontra atleti elite fl lotta u jistenna li jkompli l-wirt twila ta 'wrestlers Istat Oklahoma li ffjorixxew fis istilel MMA. Dik il-lista tinkludi l Randy Couture, Johny Hendricks, Daniel Cormier, Mark Muñoz, Jake ROSHOLT, Jared Rosholt, Shane Roller, Mo Lawal, kif ukoll veterinarji RFA Steve Mocco u Tyler Shinn.

“Din hija opportunità kbira u jien lest li jixegħlu it up,” semmiet Parks eċċitati, who is now set to travel to southern California this week to participate on the biggest stage of his promising MMA career.

Parks kienet żmien ta 'tliet iskola għolja istat lotta champion fil Oklahoma, filwaqt li jattendu l-Unjoni High School fl Tulsa, Oklahoma. Huwa mbagħad wrestled flimkien Jared Rosholt u Shinn fil Oklahoma Istat u sar Diviżjoni NCAA I All-Amerikana istaġun anzjan tiegħu. The proud Oklahoma State Cowboy then turned his attention to MMA after graduating and has seen his hand raised five times in five contests. Madankollu, din il-ġimgħa se tara lilu jikkompetu fuq it-televiżjoni nazzjonali (AXS TV) u tat-televiżjoni internazzjonali (In-Netwerk Ġlieda) għall-ewwel darba. Huwa se jkun ukoll qed jiffaċċjaw it-test aktar ħorox ta 'karriera tiegħu fl Barcelos.

You see, Barcelos mhuwiex ċinturin iswed tiegħek tipiċi Jiu-Jitsu. Huwa wkoll wrestler akkomplit li darba kienu membru tat-Tim Nazzjonali Brażiljan Wrestling. Barcelos, li rċevew ċinturin iswed tiegħu Jiu-Jitsu fl-età 20, wkoll rebaħ it-titolu nazzjonali Brażiljan fl freestyle lotta-istess sena. Barcelos huwa wkoll l-imsieħeb taħriġ ewlenija għall UFC kingpin featherweight Jose Aldo. Dan pedigree huwa biżżejjed biex biża bogħod ħafna avversarji potenzjali anke ma 'kamp ta' taħriġ full biex jippreparaw. Madankollu, Parks frisk off-ħames rebħa tiegħu u għadu kif ġie ffirmat ftehim multi-ġlieda ma RFA, jħoss hu huwa aktar minn lest għall-isfida u hija ħerqana li jipparteċipaw fil-aktar għolja ishma MMA bout ta career.Parks tiegħu u Barcelos jiltaqgħu fi bout featherweight fuq il-karta ewlenija tal RFA 23 – Murphy vs. Merkanzija fuqIl-ġimgħa, Frar 6.
