| Лос-Анджэлес, ТАКОЙ ЯК – The old adage “bigger is better” proved to be true for the first Універсітэт ММА event of 2015, як Fight Night 9 set several new records, all stemming from the show’s 18-match fight card. The event took place on Сакавіка 8 на Клуб Nokia на L.A. У прамым эфіры, producing several candidates for Fight of the Night, Blue Chip Узнагароды, and Submission of the Night.
“It’s rare when you have quantity and quality in such perfect synergy, but the fighters and fans gave us exactly that. When it was done, I was still had energy to watch a few more matches,” сказаў University of MMA matchmaker Jay Tan.
У канцы, the Дэкан‘s List performance awards for Fight Night 9 знаходзяцца:
Бой Ночы (TIE): Jasmine Pouncy (Нубійцы MMA) супраць. Daria Berenato (Сістэмы Навучальны цэнтр) and Ryan Lilley (Bas Rutten’s Elite MMA Training Center) супраць. Джонатан Кіроса (Каліфорнія MMA)
Накаўт Ночы: Lance Lee (Kings MMA)
Падача Ночы: Тым Ландерос (Усё ў ММА)

“We’re proud of all of the award winners. Without a doubt these men and women earned their acknowledgements by making an impact on the audience, earning glory in the cage, and taking home $100 gift cards courtesy of our sponsors OTM Fight Shop and WSS,” сказаў University of MMA founder Turi Altavilla.
У дадатак да традыцыйных Бой Ночы, Накаўт Ночы, і прадстаўленне Начныя узнагарод, Blue Chip honors recognizes fighters who show great showmanship, харызма і аўдыторыя дасведчанасць.
Pouncy and Lilley both won their respective matches by unanimous decision, but the results betray how closely scored were the rounds in each fight. Pouncy and Berenato traded furious striking combos in a barnburner that exemplified why women’s MMA is so popular. And with twenty amateur MMA matches between them, Lilley and Quiroz displayed masterful fight maturity, strongly pointing towards destined pro debuts.
Lance Lee‘з knockout of A.J. Lavar advances him to the finals of the University of MMA lightweight championship tournament, where he’ll faceХуліа Лопес (Ruckus MMA) на Fight Night 10 у траўні. Тым Ландерос‘guillotine choke victory was both swift and technically complete, while Blue Chip Honors winner Angel Diaz exhibited charisma and stage presence that boosted an adept first-round submission win.
Дадаткова, University of MMA featherweight and welterweight champions Tommy Aaron and Roman Todorovich (both of Elite Training Center), адпаведна, successfully defended their titles with undeniable first-round victories.
У сваёй першай абароны тытула, Aaron faced Серхіа ‘Surge the Kid‘ Перэс (Айастан MMA), who imposed his will early on the champion with a defiant takedown and constant body control for much of the first round. Once the fight got back to the feet, аднак, Aaron landed a textbook spinning back kick that stunned Perez enough for the champion to swarm in for the TKO finish.
Todorovich faced a unique challenge in rematching former University of MMA welterweight champion Джарэт Коннер (independent), who returned to the U after a year-long hiatus. Himself the reigning welterweight king prior to Todorovich wresting the title from him in 2014, Conner demonstrated his trademark strength and unstoppable takedowns with the same adeptness for which he’s known. With his champion’s conviction, Todorovich secured an armbar early, which he kept through an elevated power bomb by Conner. Todorovich shifted position to full mount, leading to a ground-and-pound finish at 1:11. The match was stopped due to injury, when Conner based to his arms and knees, severely dislocating his elbow.
