Atlantic City, NJ (Březen 15, 2016)–Tuto sobotu noc na Claridge Hotel v Atlantic City, Welterweight založená na Long Islandu Tommy Rainone debutuje na promenádě, když bojuje Maurice Chalmers v osmikolovém souboji v doporučeném undercard souboji karty s 11 souboji propagované Rising Promotions a Vincent M.Ponte's Gulfstream Promotions.
V hlavní události, Thomas LAMANNA bere na Kendal Mena v osmikolovém záchvatu welterové váhy.
Rainone má záznam o 24-7-1 s pěti knockouty je již dlouho oblíbeným fanouškem ve státě Empire, a boj s Chalmersem naplní místo, které bylo na 36 seznam vědců letošního dítěte.
“Bojoval jsem v Madison Square Garden, Yankee Stadium, Legendární Blue Horizon a Las Vegas. Už dlouho jsem chtěl bojovat v Atlantic City a v sobotu se to konečně stalo,” řekl Rainone.
Co dělá Rainonovu kariéru ještě více fascinující, je to, že přes noc pracuje na plný úvazek a pracuje pro Hilton Hotels v účetním oddělení.
To dělá dlouhé dny, pracovat až do časného rána, jen pár hodin spánku a poté chodit do posilovny před jeho noční směnou.
“Neměl jsem den volna za sedm týdnů, ale budu připraven jít v sobotu noc. Měl jsem docela dobrý trénink a zápas. Teď si jen udržuji váhu “
V Chalmers, čelí veteránovi, který má záznam o 14-12-1 s osmi knockouts. Chalmers srazil tři neporažené bojovníky, ale Rainone je přesvědčen, že jeho dovednosti a příprava budou stačit, aby zvedl ruku.
“Jednou jsem ho viděl osobně. Porazil neporaženého chlapa a ten večer byl velmi agresivní. Viděl jsem jiné souboje, kde se posadil a je pultíkem. Připravuji se na všechno.”
Od té doby, co se stal profesionálem 2006, Rainone si okamžitě oblíbil fanoušky, a má pocit, že vděčí za velkou podporu mnoha příznivcům, kteří se jím uvízli po celou dobu své kariéry.
“Bez fanouškovské základny, nedostanete bitky. budu mít 100 nebo tak fanoušci dole v Atlantic City. Dlužím jim všechno.”
Rainone věří, že jeho popularita je z velké části způsobena tím, že je jen “obyčejný chlap” a jeho fanoušci se k němu mohou vztahovat.
“Vždy jsem vedl dobrý boj, ale jsem schopný. Po bojích, Setkávám se s každým. Jsem skromný a ukazuji fanouškům, jak si ho vážím.”
Ve svém posledním záchvatu, Rainone vzal jeden z vystupňovaných bojů, které ho mohly připravit na velkou příležitost, když se ujal bývalého juniorského šampiona střední váhy Ishe Smitha.
Rainone se v tom boji objevil krátce, ale Rainone se chtěl otestovat proti bývalému mistrovi světa.
“Ten boj byl vysoký rozkaz. Ishe je větší muž a bývalý mistr světa. Nejsem junior střední váhy. Snažil jsem se velmi tvrdě a věděl jsem, jestli jsem vyhrál, který bojoval, Byl bych zařazen do první desítky.”
Rainone plánuje bojovat jen dalších pár let a stále má cíle každého bojovníka, ale svou kariéru bere boj za bojem.
“Cílem je jeden boj po druhém. Jsem nadšený z boje v Atlantic City. Chci bojovat v Barclays Center a znovu v Madison Square Square Garden a také bojovat o titul zpět v Atlantic City.”
“Během své kariéry jsem to dělal těžce. Nevím, kdo to udělal tak, jak jsem to udělal já. Udělal jsem to sám bez jakéhokoli spojenectví nebo promotéra a jsem velmi hrdý na to, čeho jsem dosáhl, a mám ještě více práce.”

V SHOWTIME CHAMPIONSHIP BOXING ko-funkce, undefeated IBF Super Featherweight World Champion Jose Pedraza will defend against mandatory challenger Stephen Smith.
Russell Jr. (26-1, 15 KO) will be making the first defense of his featherweight world title that he earned after stopping defending champion Jhonny Gonzalez in the fourth-round last March. He was set to defend last November, but was forced to withdraw due to a training injury. If he can get by the extremely motivated Hyland (31-1, 15 KO), Russell Jr. is in line for big fights with fellow champions and top contenders such as Leo Santa Cruz, Lee Selby, Abner Mares a Carl Frampton.
“I’m excited about being back in the ring,” said Russell. “It’s been a year because of an injury, but I’m feeling great and more ready than ever. I’ll be prepared for anything. I’m looking forward to meeting Mr. Hyland on the 16th and I’m ready to prove I’m the best featherweight in the world.”
“This is a fantastic opportunity to fight for the WBC title, one of the belts that I’ve always wanted to hold,” said Hyland. “It means the world to me to be fighting for this title against a real champion like Gary Russell Jr. I think he’s a great fighter who does everything well so I have to be at my best on fight night. But I know I can beat him and take that belt home to Ireland. I’m just a lad from Jobstown in Tallaght who works hard and loves the fight game. I’ve been trained all my life by my father, may God rest him, and to win a world title will make all of his hard work and effort worthwhile.”
Pedraza (21-0, 12 KO) won his 130-pound world title last June when he dominated Andrey Klimovto capture the vacant belt, and he successfully defended it last October in an exciting battle againstEdner Cherry. Both bouts aired on SHOWTIME. Now he faces the mandatory challenger in Kovář(23-1, 13 KO), kdo vyhrál 11 straight bouts and may present the toughest challenge of Pedraza’s burgeoning career.
“I am in excellent condition, had an extraordinary training camp and am anxious to demonstrate my skills in the ring on April 16,” Said Pedraza. “I am truly looking forward to entertaining the fans in attendance and remaining undefeated as I defense my crown against Smith. I am determined to become the next big star out of Puerto Rico.”
“I’ve waited a long time for this opportunity, but the timing couldn’t be better,” řekl Smith. “I’m excited to get the opportunity to win the world title live on Sky Sports in the UK and on SHOWTIME in America. Pedraza is a quality fighter but I know I will do whatever is needed to become world champion on April 16 and I can’t wait.”
Vstupenky na koncertě, která je podporována DiBella Entertainment, jsou ceny na $150, $90 a $45 bez platných poplatků za služby a daní, a jsou již v prodeji. Vstupenky jsou k dispozici na adresewww.ticketmaster.com a www.foxwoods.com nebo návštěvou Foxwoods’ Pokladna. Chcete-li účtovat telefonního hovoru Ticketmaster na (800) 745-3000. The Pedraza vs. Smith bout is promoted in association with Gary Shaw Productions, Universal Promotions and Matchroom Boxing.
“This SHOWTIME doubleheader is a can’t-miss event,” řekl Lou DiBella, Presidentof DiBella Entertainment. “In Russell-Hyland, you have one of the most gifted fighters in all of boxing defending his title against a hungry and tough-as-nails Irishman in the biggest fight of his career. Pedraza is looking to make a statement against Smith, Britain’s number one contender, and to follow in the footsteps of past Puerto Rican superstars.”
A speedy and supremely talented boxer, Russell Jr., was impressive in his fourth-round stoppage of the battle-tested Gonzalez last March. The 2008 U.S.. Olympian had scored important victories overVyacheslav Gusev, Juan Ruiz, a Miguel Tamayo before losing a majority decision to Vasyl Lomačenko for the WBO 126-pound title in June 2014. Southpaw, Capitol Heights, Md., was able to return to his winning ways with a unanimous decision over Christopher Martin that December prior to his coronation against Gonzalez, whom he dropped three times en route to capturing the title.
Leading into his last fight on Říjen. 10, v Lowellu, Mass., Irsko je Hyland was dealing with heavy emotions following the death of his beloved father and longtime trainer, and the birth of his first son. The 32-year-old remained steadfast, fighting in memory of his father to stop David Martinez V osmém kole. It was his fourth consecutive victory since suffering his lone defeat, a close and competitive loss to the unbeaten Javier Fortuna for the interim WBA World Featherweight Title in December 2012. Nyní, presented with another world title opportunity, Hyland seeks to honor his father’s legacy by bringing the championship back home.
The switch-hitting former Puerto Rican Olympian Pedraza backed up his “Sniper” moniker against Klimov as he picked apart the Russian with superior speed and accuracy on his way to a world title. Pedraza earned a shot at the title in his previous bout with a career-best win over former world title challenger Michael Farenas. The 26-year-old will have title unification on his mind if he can conquer his mandatory opponent on Duben 16.
Part of a fighting family, Smith’s brothers Callum, Liam and Paul all fight professionally at a high level and he hopes to join Liam as a fellow world champion on Duben 16. The 30-year-old has fought professionally since 2008 and his only blemish came against featherweight world champion Lee Selby in 2011. Smith earned his title shot with a sixth-round stoppage of Boschiero quote v září 2015 a bude dělat jeho U.S.. debut at Foxwoods.

PAUL WILLIAMS RETURNS TO BOXING AS A TRAINER
FORMER WORLD CHAMPION TO TRAIN PROSPECT JUSTIN DELOACH
IN FOURTH FIGHT ADDED TO Pátek, BŘEZEN 25,
SHOBOX: NOVÁ GENERACE TELEVIZNÍ VYSÍLÁNÍ
“I’m scared all over again, like this is my first fight.” – Paul Williams
Super Welterweight DeLoach Takes on Undefeated Local Favorite Dillon Cook;
Promising Meets Aaron Herrera in Main Event;
Živě na SHOWTIME® Na 10:30 p.m. A/PT
NEW YORK (Březen 15, 2016) – Former two-time world champion Paul Williams, who’s pro career came to a sudden and tragic end when he was paralyzed from the waist down after a motorcycle accident in May 2012, is back in boxing as a trainer.
The popular Williams will work the corner of once-beaten Justin Deloach (13-1, 7 KO) when DeLoach faces undefeated super welterweight and local favorite Dillon Cook (16-0, 6 KO) in the opening eight-round bout of what is now a ShoBox: Nová generace quadrupleheader na Pátek, Březen 25, žítSHOWTIME (10:30 p.m. A/PT, zpoždění na západním pobřeží) od Buffalo Run Casino v Miami, Okla.
DeLoach is the first boxer to be trained by Williams, the former 154-pound southpaw who has been confined to a wheelchair since the accident.
“I guess I was being selfish at first,” Williams said. “I didn’t want to deal with the fight game. I wanted to be the one fighting. But that changed.”
Williams was reluctant to train fighters for a long time. ByloGeorge Peterson, who managed and trained Williams from the time the boxer was a skinny kid with little amateur experience until his career ended, that helped persuade “The Punisher” to return to the ring. Williams trains his pupil at a private gym in his hometown of Aiken, S.C.
“You know me, I really didn’t want to do this,’’ Williams said. “But finally after three or four years of George practically begging me to try and do it, this opportunity came along and I decided to give it a shot.
“Everything is about timing. I started thinking about it, George kept asking me and messing with me about it, one thing led to another, and I finally said I’d take a stab at it.
Williams, who is enjoying his new job description, admits there are some pre-fight jitters.
“I’m scared all over again, like this is my first fight. Nyní, I have to think about everything that Mr. Pete was thinking about when I was fighting. I have to try and teach Justin what I knew how to do.
“George and I accomplished a lot. He made me a world champion; before that, no one knew who he or I was. We were just a couple of guys from Aiken, S.C. We gave fans fights to remember.
“I was the fighter the press labeled as ‘Most feared in boxing.’ But that’s over for me now. I’m jumping into a whole new thing. It’s been an adjustment but I’m glad I’m doing it.’’
In his role as a trainer, Williams’ mindset has changed drastically from his fighting days. “Look, I always feel good,'' Řekl. “What’s happened has happened. Je to to, co to je. This is my first time stepping back into the world. I love box.
“What I don’t want to see is a fighter getting hurt. This is a hard sport. I know when I was in there I was always going for broke. But I want Justin, all fighters actually, to come out of the ring the same way they came in. Vyhrát nebo prohrát, I don’t want to see anybody get hurt.’’
On DeLoach, Williams řekl,, “He’s a good fighter and now he’s in the spotlight. I want to do my best in the training world to get him at his peak. I hope he does his best. I’d love to one-up George with Justin.’’
Becoming the best takes strenuous work on a daily basis, and Williams was no stranger to putting in the hours.
“I never took a shortcut,'' Řekl. “You take shortcuts, you know what’ll happen. I took the long road home when I was fighting and fans, bojovníci, everybody knew what to expect when I stepped in the ring.
“Justin isn’t like this, but one thing I know is that fighters think they’re slick. Dobře, you can’t pull anything over me. Byl jsem tam, seen it all.’’
A, jako vždy, he’ll have George Peterson by his side.
“I’m just helping Paul,’’ said Peterson, who will serve as Williams’ assistant trainer. “So far, he’s doing great.”
It will be the ShoBox a 2016 debuty — and toughest fight to date — for both DeLoach and Cook.
DeLoach was a top amateur, competing in the USA Boxing National Championships in 2012. He won a National Silver Golden Gloves title when he was 13.
The 22-year-old DeLoach, of Augusta, Ga., has won three in a row since suffering his lone loss to Cesar Villa Únor. 6, 2015. That was before he started training with Williams.
“This has been a total blessing, and I say that every day,” DeLoach said. “Thank God. He’s the one who brought the two of us together, that’s the main thing. Paul loves it, just to be back. I think he was scared at first, his reputation was at stake and so was mine.
“But he’s been so helpful – just in the mental side of things. I was already a good boxer but he’s taken me to another level mentally. He’s been pushing me, criticizing me, giving me instructions and picking my brain.”
DeLoach and Williams grew up just 30 minutes down the road from each other.
“Me and Paul, we’ve known each other our whole lives,’’ DeLoach said. “I’m from Augusta, Ga., and he was right across in Aiken. We knew each other when I was coming up as an amateur. He came to my last pro fight that was in San Antonio. When I saw him, I got so excited. We started to talk and I said something like, "Hej, Paul, wouldn’t it be cool if we got together?'
“Once I came home, we started working together and he’s been training me since. I think we’re going on about three months now. It’s an unbelievable feeling to be able to work with one of my favorite fighters.”
V jeho poslední výlet, DeLoach won a shutout four-round decision overSantos Benavides poslední Prosince. 12. Deloach, a pro since March 2013, fought six times that year and four times each in 2014 a 2015.
“I’m really looking forward to fighting for the first time for him,” DeLoach said. “I’ve gone crazy waiting for my break and an opportunity like this to fight on SHOWTIME. I know it’s not easy fighting in your opponent’s backyard, but with Paul, George Peterson and me and my skills, we are confident it will be a good fight.’’
Kuchař, 25, is from Seneca, Mo., which is located about 20 minutes from Buffalo Run Casino where he has fought six times. A top amateur, he won six Golden Gloves titles, a Junior Golden Gloves National title, a Heartland title and four regional Silver Gloves titles. He is popular at Buffalo Run and will be making his premium network television debut against easily his most dangerous assignment as a pro. Cook’s brother, Jesse, a welterweight with a record of 15-1-1, will box on the non-televised portion of the event.
Dillon Cook turned pro in August 2012, fought twice that year, seven times in 2013, four times in 2014 and three times last year. Five of his last seven took place at Buffalo Run, including two out of three in 2015. He’s coming off a lopsided eight-round decision overRahman Yusubov poslední Listopad. 14.
“I couldn’t be more excited about making my ShoBox debut, right at home, at the Buffalo Run Casino,” Cook said. “This is a huge opportunity for me, and I plan on putting on a spectacular showing, for all my fans there that night and everyone watching on TV.”
V ShoBox main event, unbeaten super lightweight knockout artist and emerging rising star, Regis "Rougarou" PROGRAMY (16-0, 13 KO), Houston by way of New Orleans, will meet experienced Aaron "Klenot" Herrera (29-4-1, 18 KO), of Valladolid, Mexiko, in a 10-round match.

„V životě každého sportovce přijde chvíle, kde se scénáře mění a krajina eroduje z toho, kvůli čemu jste se do ní zpočátku zamilovali,“ řekl Mitrione. "Už to pro mě nastalo.". Po oboustranně výhodném období bezplatného zastoupení, Rozhodl jsem se přesunout svou kariéru do Bellatoru. Užil jsem si téměř každou sekundu své kariéry a na rozdíl od většiny těch, kteří změnili organizaci kvůli tomu, že jsem byl přerušen nebo už nebyl schopen vystupovat na nejvyšší sportovní úrovni, Přináším tělo a sadu dovedností, které se jen zlepšují, a nemohu se dočkat, až otestuji své schopnosti proti tomu nejlepšímu, co Bellator nabízí."
S láskou označovaný jako „Meathead,Mitrione je jedním z mála bojovníků, kteří začali svou profesionální kariéru v UFC, aniž by předtím závodili na regionálním okruhu..

Před soutěží v MMA, Mitrione získal stipendium na defenzivní boj za fotbalový tým Purdue Boilermakers, nedaleko místa, kde vyrůstal ve Springfieldu, Nemocný. Po vysoké škole, hrál v NFL za New York Giants, San Francisco 49ers a Minnesota Vikings do 2005.
Na závěr své profesionální fotbalové kariéry, Shotokan Karate Black Belt zaměřil veškerou jeho pozornost na sport MMA. Mitrione trávil čas tréninkem s vévodou Roufusem a vysoce respektovaným týmem Roufusport, než přistál ve slavném kempu Blackzilians v Boca Raton., FLA, kde dnes trénuje.
Mimořádně oblíbený a dobře mluvený Mitrione dovolil rozhodčím určit výsledek jeho souboje pouze dvakrát, proti Joey Beltran a Cheick Kongo, oba aktuálně bojují za Bellator MMA. Jeho zábavný bojový styl mu vynesl uznání “Představení noci” (dvakrát) a “Boj noci” pocty.
Před jeho posledním bojem s jeho bývalým povýšením, Mitrione byl nucen zúčastnit se mediální relace naboso, protože jeho boty nedodržovaly přísnou politiku firemních uniforem. V Bellatoru žádné takové problémy mít nebude, kde si může zajistit vlastní sponzory a udržet si nohy v teple obuví dle vlastního výběru.
Bellator v poslední době posiluje svou divizi těžké váhy, a Mitrione se stává druhým volným hráčem těžké váhy, kterého povýšení za tolik měsíců podepsalo, jako Sergei Kharitonov se do boje zapojil v únoru. Divize je v současné době mistrem o Vitaly Minakov, a zahrnuje další přední jména jako Slice, Bobby Lashley, Cheick Kongo, Vinicius „Sparťan,"Tony Johnson.", Justin Wren, Dan Charles a Augusto Sakai.

Hooker, rated number seven by the WBO, is coming off of a career-best win on October 17, 2015 against his toughest opponent to date in Ghislain Maduma (17-2, 11 KO) v Madison Square Garden. Hooker successfully defended his NABO title with the 10-round decision win over Maduma on the undercard of Gennady Golovkin vs. David Lemieux in a fight that was featured on the event’s “freeview” in the United States and streamed online around the world. Buelvas, a former WBA Fedebol champion, has won two of his last three bouts by knockout and fought Humberto Soto for the WBC Silver International Super Lightweight title in 2014, going the 12-round distance before losing a decision to the former World Champion.
Born and raised in Oak Cliff, Texas, a rough suburb of Dallas, Hooker found a boxing home at Maple Avenue Boxing Gym by way of an outreach program for at-risk youths.

Featured for the second time on a Ward undercard, the sharp-boxing Franco will look to improve on his undefeated record against an opponent with literally six times his pro boxing experience. Meraz is only 29 years old but has already logged an amazing 90 professional bouts and has won four of his last six fights by knockout. He has fought current World Champion Juan Carlos Payano, Three-Time U.S. Olympian Rau’shee Warren and highly-touted prospect Gervonta Davis, going the distance with all three.

Nyní, just a little over a month later, “The Revelation” will step into the ring against a tough opponent in Lozanao, a southpaw who has never been stopped and already has a ten-round decision victory under his belt.
Having compiled an exceptional amateur record of 99-8, Puga made his professional debut on September 2, 2011, scoring a fourth round technical knockout victory over Raul Talamontes at the Sports Complex in his hometown.

Nyní 100 percent healthy, Younan looks to make Solozano his third straight knockout victim. Solorzano, a naturally bigger fighter, has campaigned in the light heavyweight division and is coming off of a knockout win.

He compiled an amateur record of 90-5, racking up an impressive series of titles along the way including nine Junior Olympic championships, nine Junior Metro championships, eight New York State Silver Gloves championships and five Regional Silver Gloves championships.

Chinese heavyweight Zhang “Big Bang” Zhilei (7-0, 4 KO) joins the undercard on Březen 26 in a four-round bout against an opponent yet to be determined. The Silver Medalist from the 2008 Beijing Olympics continues to infuse excitement into the heavyweight division and is coming off of a first round technicalknockout win over David Koswara on February 20 at the Lanzhou Sports Arena in Lanzhou, Čína.
Born on May 2, 1983 in Henan, Zhang began his amateur career in 2003, participating in the World Championships.

By capturing a bronze medal and finishing the competition in third place, he qualified for the 2008 Summer Olympics in Beijing. The Chinese powerhouse nearly reached the zenith of amateur success in the summer of 2008, entering the super heavyweight finals at the Summer Olympics in Beijing against Italy’s Roberto Cammarelle. It was not to be as Zhang suffered his first defeat of that Olympiad, losing to Cammarelle, but proudly adding to the host country’s medal total with a Silver. V 2009, Zhang captured a gold medal at the China National Games, an event of equal prestige to the Olympics in China. 2013 saw yet another gold medal winning performance in the China National Games, setting the stage for “Big Bang” to embark on a professional career while basing himself in the United States.

Na Březen 26, Coley will look follow his most recent victory, a unanimous decision over Jeremy Ramos onLeden 23 at the Marriott on Broadway in Oakland, with another win in front of his hometown fans. Prior to his January win he scored two unanimous decision triumphs, including his June 20, 2015 performance against Yusmani Abreu (who Ryskeldiev defeated by technical knockout in September) on the undercard of Ward’s last fight. Considered a promising prospect in boxing circles, Coley’s lone loss came via decision to one of boxing’s hottest prospects in Ievgen Khytrov in a bout that was televised live on Showtime’s ShoBox on April 10, 2015 from The Aviator Sports Complex in Brooklyn, New York.

WMMAA President Vadim Finkelchtein Leading sport into future
 Monte Carlo, Monaco (Březen 14, 2016)- Světová asociace smíšených bojových umění (WMMAA) Prezident Vadim Finkelchtein, who founded the sanctioning organization in 2012, continues to lead WMMAA and the sport into a very bright future.
 In four short years, WMMAA has alreadydeveloped into the strongest sanctioning body in the MMA world, hosting some of the sport’s most prestigious championships, as well as creating a highly respected culture in throughout sports worldwide.Finkelchtein answered some pertinent questions below about WMMAA, its past and future, in addition to addressing the growth of mixed martial arts:
Can you tell us about you and your experience in Martial Arts?
VF: “I practiced judo when I was a kid. Back then there was no MMA whatsoever.” How did you first enter the world of MMA?
VF: “V 1995, I was offered an opportunity to sponsor an MMA event. That’s when I learned about and fell in love with no holds barred, or free-fight, as it was called then. V 1997, I organized my own event in Russia. The rest is history.” When did you first hear of MMA and what was your first impression? Did What is your function and main activities within WMMAA? How would you assess WMMAA’s progress during its three year existence?
VF: “WMMAA is still in its infancy. Ano, we lack experience and financing, and MMA is a new kind of sport in many regions. But I have to say that we’re growing and the last World Championship in Czech Republic proved it. Over 40 national teams flew to Prague with over 200 sportovci. The level of competition evolved so much. The organizational level was also high and we are thankful to our Czech MMA Federation for its great work. This World Championship proved there is demand for MMA around the world.” What are the main goals of WMMAA and what are the main obstacles facing Were there any countries that stood out or surprised you?
VF: “China surprised me a lot. They joined WMMAA recently but since then they’ve shown solid results. Také, I enjoyed the performance of Latin American teams. It was their debut but one Colombian kid (Andrey Roa Ruiz Dumar) won a bronze medal and that was great. Opět, Russia won the majority of the medals due to amateur MMA there developing with extremely rapid strides ever since early 2012. Fedor Emelianenko is the main locomotive and driving force in Russia. The selection process there is just unbelievable. You can’t imagine how many steps one needs to make in order to become the champion of the Russian Federation. The City Championship, Oblast Championship, regional and national championship. Each of these events consists of at least three fights, which means that a Russian champion will probably have had at least won 15 fights under his belt by the time of the European or World Championships. Only truly the best get to the top. Imagine this: around 7,000 athletes participated in the aforementioned events in 2015.”
What are the 2016 mid-term goals for WMMAA? Can you describe what 2015 was like for WMMAA? What words of wisdom would you like to share with the members of WMMAA family?
VF: “I’d ask all WMMAA members to adhere to the agreements and decisions we reached collectively. It pertains to the set of rules, judging process, zařízení, unified rules, and youth sports development.”
WMMAA keeps expanding, nicméně, there are still multiple countries that are not yet WMMAA members. Why should any local Federation apply for WMMAA membership?
VF: “WMMAA is the strongest MMA organization there is. We plan to continuously hold regional and world championships and keep developing and evolving. Sportovci’ ethical upbringing is also our target. We believe this sport can give so much to the world in various ways and we put a lot of effort into its development. We’ll gladly accept strong and worthy partners into our ranks.”
