LAS VEGAS, Nevada – Opstanding Fighting Alliance (RFA) president Ed Soares heeft vandaag aangekondigd dat de RFA in juni zijn eerste reis naar Chicagoland zal maken met een headliner van het kampioenschap. De belangrijkste gebeurtenis van RFA 39 bevat de eerste titelverdediging van RFA-kampioen vedergewicht Raoni Barcelos.

Moffett vindt plaats Vrijdag, 17 juni in het Hammond Civic Center in Hammond, Indiana. De hoofdkaart zal live en landelijk worden uitgezonden op AXS TV op 10 p.m. EN / 7 p.m. PT.
“Ik ben opgewonden over het brengen van een wereldtitelgevecht naar Hammond” Opgegeven Soares. “Onze vedergewicht kampioen Raoni Barcelos zal zijn titel voor het eerst verdedigen tegen nummer één mededinger Bobby Moffett. Dit zijn twee van de beste vederlichte prospects ter wereld en het is de perfecte manier om vechtfans in de regio Chicago te laten zien waar de RFA over gaat.”
Tickets voor RFA 39 – Barcelos versus. Moffett is nu te koop. U kunt uw favoriete vechter steunen door uw kaartjes te kopen via CAGETIX.com
Barcelos (9-1) zal zijn RFA vedergewicht titel voor het eerst verdedigen na te hebben genoten van een dominant 2015, die veel MMA-experts enkele jaren geleden zagen aankomen. Barcelos was vastbesloten voor grootsheid in MMA voordat hij ooit een voet in een stalen kooi stapte. De zoon van Jiu-Jitsu-koraal (rood en zwart) riem Laerte Barcelos, hij begon te leren “De zachte kunst” op de leeftijd van twee. Vervolgens, in tegenstelling tot veel Jiu-Jitsu zwarte banden, Barcelos vond succes in Freestyle Wrestling, waar hij deelnam als lid van het Braziliaanse National Wrestling Team. Echter, zijn zeldzame mix van grappling-disciplines op hoog niveau is niet wat hem speciaal maakt onder de beste MMA-prospects. Het is het feit dat hij over voldoende slagkracht beschikt dat ook de klus kan klaren. Dit blijkt uit het feit dat meer dan de helft van zijn overwinningen via KO of TKO zijn behaald, waaronder de eerste ronde KO van de voorheen ongeslagen NCAA Division I All-American worstelaar Jamal Parks bij RFA 23. Barcelos wil nu hetzelfde doen met een andere topper die zich voorbereidt op zijn eerste RFA-titelverdediging.
“Ik ben erg blij om mijn RFA-wereldtitel te verdedigen op RFA 39,” verklaarde Barcelos. “RFA toont het beste nieuwe MMA-talent ter wereld en wordt nu live uitgezonden hier in Brazilië. Mijn vrienden, gezin, en teamgenoten hebben nu de mogelijkheid om me live te zien vechten op Esporte Interativo. Het is een droom die uitkomt en een eer om kampioen te zijn van een geweldig evenement als de RFA. Deze riem komt in juni met mij terug naar huis in Brazilië.”
Moffett (8-1) komt met veel vaart in deze strijd. Hij rijdt een win streak van vier gevechten, waaronder een overwinning op de oude RFA-dierenarts Dan Moret bij RFA 24. Moffett is geboren en getogen 10 mijl van de locatie net over de staatsgrens in Homewood, Illinois. De taak om het thuisveld te verdedigen en de RFA-titel vedergewicht te veroveren, heeft de honger van deze opwindende jonge kandidaat alleen maar vergroot.. Dit is een honger “The Wolfman” zal nodig hebben omdat hij tegenover de gevaarlijkste tegenstander in zijn carrière staat. Om de klassieker te citeren 2010 film die zijn bijnaam deelt, “Ik wist niet dat je op monsters jaagde? Soms jagen monsters op je.” Moffett wil nu graag zijn innerlijke lycantroop kanaliseren bij RFA 39.
“Ik ben gewoon heel dankbaar dat de grootste strijd van mijn carrière thuis zal zijn in het bijzijn van mijn familie en vrienden,” Legde Moffett uit. “I feel that everything I’ve been working for has now come to fruition. Barcelos is a tough. He’s a very good fighter and the champion. I’m honored that he wants to fight me. I’m looking forward to taking the next step in my career by winning the RFA title on 17 juni.”
The full fight card for RFA 39 – Barcelos versus. Moffett will be announced soon. This will be the RFA’s first event to take place inThe Hoosier Stateof Indiana and it will be the fifteenth state that the RFA has visited.

Art of War Fighting Championship 17 Update – Ashleigh Grimshaw replaces Injured Junior Assuncao in Main Event

BEIJING, CHINA – A welterweight matchup between UFC and Bellator veteran Waylon Lowe and British Mixed Martial Artist Ashleigh Grimshaw will headline Art of War 17 this Saturday night in Beijing China. Grimshaw is late replacements for UFC vet Junior Assuncao who suffered a training injury and had to pull out of his fight with Lowe on short notice last week.

Said Lowe, a three time NCAA wrestling champion who is currently 16-6 as a professional fighter, “It’s unfortunate that Junior had to drop out of the fight but I’m glad the promoters found another high caliber opponent for me to face. Ashleigh Grimshaw and I will put on a great show for all the Chinese MMA fans on April 30th Art of War 17.”

CEO and Chinese MMA pioneer Andy Pi had this to say about this weekend’s event and his company’s return as the dominant player in Chinese MMA, “We are very excited about this next event as it continues Art of War’s reemergence as the biggest force in Chinese Combat Sports.“

Mr. Pi, a Brazilian Jiu Jitsu Brown Belt and noted entrepreneur in Beijing, says his visionary fighting league is the future of MMA in China. “Art of War Fighting Championships was the first Mixed Martial Arts event in Mainland China and is still the most prestigious. With every event our company will continue to develop the market for MMA in China.

Today China is the biggest untapped market for MMA and Mr. Pi says he knows why and, belangrijker, how Art of War FC can capitalize.

“MMA is the most exciting sport in the world, but the way it’s promoted in the US often doesn’t connect with more traditionally minded Chinese sports fans. By combining the energy and excitement MMA with the ancient culture of honor and respect typical of traditional Asian Martial Arts AOW will bring the 21st century’s fastest growing sport to the world’s largest market of sports fan in a new and more powerful way…”

Pronabolin User Review: Boosting Testosterone Naturally

Door: Rich Bergeron

richbeforeafter

I recently had the opportunity to take a testosterone booster called Pronabolin, which is an all-natural product. As a logger with my own firewood company (www.deadwoodsociety.com), I could always use more energy and muscle, but that wasn’t the only reason I realized I needed more testosterone.

This year I am preparing for my debut in mixed martial arts as an amateur fighter. I will be adding Brazilian Jiu Jitsu and more dynamic striking to my background training in karate, boxing and wrestling. There are also certain rules I will need to observe in the amateurs forbidding elbows of any kind and all knees to the head. This training requires great strength, stamina and self-control.

Prior to learning about Pronabolin and trying it, I was a huge critic of older mixed martial artists using so-called TRT: Testosterone Replacement Therapy. There was just so much controversy around the subject, and the health benefits were still questionable when exemptions were allowed for the treatments. Prescribed testosterone treatments were popping up in those common commercials asking people who took the drugs and suffered severe consequences to contact a lawyer and get justice for the damage done. Heart attacks and deaths were among the most urgentside effectsof the more potent products.

Zo, when Pronabolin promised to provide the same testosterone boost with natural ingredients (zie onder), I gave it a shot.

supplemental facts

Notice the suggested use line above. This is the one and only issue I had with this product, and I hope they will look into changing their labels in the future. The instructions tell adults to “nemen 3 capsules once a day.I would counter that by advising users to take one capsule with breakfast, one at mid-day or lunch and the other in the afternoon or early evening. Taking all three at one time as my introduction to the product gave me a very discomforting surge of energy and made my heart beat a mile a minute. I quickly adjusted my intake after that to one or two capsules at a time.

My chief concern with training was shedding weight, and this product helped tremendously in that department. I started out around 205-210 pounds and am able to maintain walk-around weight of 195 at this point. This is just ten pounds away from where I hope to have my fighting debut at: 185 pond. Prior to using Pronabolin, I had a really hard time with my metabolism being too slow and gaining too much weight. Using the product faithfully everyday helped my metabolism catch up, and the digestive benefits seemed to be the most pronounced effect of all.

One of the more surprising and pleasant developments I experienced while taking Pronabolin related to my love life. Deciding to take on a mixed martial arts match was just part of my campaign to change my life for the better in all the most important categories. I simply wanted to be a stronger physical, spiritual, mental and social being.

I began searching for dates a bit before I started taking Pronabolin, and I already had a wild appetite for sex and great stamina before taking the product. Zo, while I didn’t really NEED help, Pronabolin actually took me to the next level as a lover. Once I did find the right lady and started getting serious, the lovemaking became more and more intense, more frequent (five or six times in one night at times), and always very satisfying for myself and my partner. I definitely noticed how Pronabolin could take me to a higher sexual plane and keep me there, and so did my new lady friend.

Meeting the woman of my dreams and finding out she loved our time in bed as much as I did also came with other benefits. She lives near a mixed martial arts gym where I can train, and she also has a friend with a dog who loves to go on long hikes with me. She is even on a weight loss quest of her own, so us meeting when we did was absolutely perfect timing.

I can definitely say that Pronabolin truly changed my life. It is no gimmick or placebo, and it WORKS! I hope to continue training harder and harder as my debut fight gets closer, and Pronabolin will be a huge part of that training regimen.

It is important to note that my first phase of using the product did not involve taking all three pills each and every day. I was also dealing with multiple sicknesses during the standard cold and flu season in New England. This had a severely negative effect on my training routine, as just when I seemed to be in a good rhythm, sickness knocked me out of it over the last two months in particular. Perhaps I need to look into some supplements to boost my immune system as well. The bottom line is, this was not a very scientific product review process. I took Pronabolin in a manner that many common users will likely be able to relate to.

During the next phase of my training I will be using Pronabolin more as a formal building block for the transformation of my physique. As of now I have more of a four pack set of abs than a six pack, and even that’s not very pronounced and defined. My chest is also in need of some more toning and shaping.

Before I step into the cage across from another combatant, I feel that it is essential for me to develop the best physical appearance I can possibly present. I want the crowd and my opponent to know I’m a serious contender, and that starts with showing off all the results of all the hard work that leads up to fight night.

Voor nu, I can unequivocally say that Pronabolin helped prove to me that all testosterone treatments are not dangerous or detrimental to an athlete’s long term health. The product also helped provide natural energy, boosted my metabolism, and gave me a new lease on my sex life.

I give Pronabolin five stars, and I look forward to entering the next phase of training and sharing the results here and on our YouTube Page.

I will track my progress and performance more closely during this next phase, and I will open up my training to the public eye to really highlight how Pronabolin can help anyone wanting to improve their physique and quality of life.

If you have any experience with this product you can share, please leave a comment and tell us about what Pronabolin did for you.

ANDREY KORESHKOV RETAINS WELTERWEIGHT CROWN IN EMPHATIC FASHION, DEFEATING BENSON HENDERSON BY UNANIMOUS DECISION

 

Complete Fight Photos Here

Uncasville, CONN. (April 22, 2016) — While many will be surprised by the news that Andrey Koreshkov (19-1) verslagen Benson Henderson (23-6) in het main event van “Bellator 153: Koreshkov vs. Henderson,” the Russian champion made it clear following the bout that he intended to win each and every round inside the cage at the Mohegan Sun Arena op vrijdag nacht, and according to the judges scoring the bout at cage side, he did exactly that (50-45, 50-45, 50-45).

Over the course of 25 notulen, Henderson, a longtime lightweight competitor, had difficulty closing the distance of the larger “Spartan,” and sustaining damage in the process. “Glad” was unable to secure takedowns and was upset with his performance, making it clear that he hopes for a quick return to the Bellator MMA cage; whether it’s at 170 or 155-pounds.

“Spartan” makes his first successful defense of the title he took from Douglas Lima in this very arena last year, and has his sights set on fighting one of the main contenders that the Scott Coker-led currently promotion has on its welterweight roster. In addition to the victory, Koreshkov also takes home the newly designed Bellator championship belt.

Patricio “Pitbull” Freire’s Showcases Nasty Guillotine in Co-Main Event

Patricio "Pitbull" Freire (25-3) went all-in with a beautiful guillotine choke 4:09 into the second round of his co-main event fight, forcing Henry Corrales (12-3) aan te boren uit.
