FIGHTERS CAN SIGN UP NOW FOR A DIRECT PAYMENT SENT OUT FIRST WEEK OF MAY ALL PROCEEDS FROM THE NEW’GO THE SOCAL DISTANCE’ FUNDRAISER T-SHIRT& 10% OF SALES AT CONTENDERSCLOTHING.COM TO GO TO FUND |
Las Vegas, NV. (April 13, 2020): Contenders Clothing is proud to announce the creation of the Fighting for Fighters Fund, a new program that will put money directly, and immediately, into the hands of professional fighters affected by the current Covid-19 crisis. With combat sports across the United States being suspended indefinitely, many fighters who earn a living competing professionally are self-employed contractors leaving them out of work and not eligible for state unemployment. While there is money earmarked for contract workers under the Cares Act, funds have been hard to, if not impossible, to access, leaving many working class fighters in dire need of assistance. “While some well-known apparel companies are donating to large and mostly worldwide health organizations, we’ve yet to see any company directly help fighters,” said Contenders Chief Executive Officer, Jonathan Snyder. “We have been embraced by professional fighters of all levels who have worn our boxer briefs and t-shirts at weigh ins and we truly consider anyone who wears us as part of our family. They’ve had our back and now it’s time to have theirs.” Funding for Fighting for Fighters will come from the sales of an exclusive, ‘Go The Social Distance’ t-shirt created specifically as a fundraiser for the program. Poleg tega, Contenders Clothing is giving 10% of every single sale throughout the entire month of April at www.contendersclothing.com directly into the fund. Payments will go out the first week of May and will be divided equally from the overall amount Fighting for Fighters raises between all eligible fighters. “We’ve come to find that fighters are special people in and out of the ring and not enough people understand their sacrifice. Če Fighting for Fighters can literally buy groceries for a fighters’ family for a week or pay a utility bill at a time when they desperately need it, then we will consider it a success.” If you are an active professional fighter based in the United States whose income has been affected by the Covid-19 crisis please sign up at: https://contendersclothing.com/pages/contenders-fighting-for-fighters-fund If you’d like to purchase the Go the Social Distance t-shirt and have all proceeds go to the Fighting for Fighters Fund, please head to: https://contendersclothing.com/collections/t-shirts/products/go-the-social-distance-tee ABOUT CONTENDERS CLOTHING Contenders Clothing’s boxer brief line, which contains the first ever officially licensed Muhammad Ali and Rocky collections, has been a favorite of professional boxers at weigh-ins since launching in 2018.

Las Vegas, NV, (November 17, 2018) – Glavni dogodek “FFC 34” je imel nepozaben dvoboj za naslov Kickboxing, ki je bil v vseh petih krogih prvenstva napolnjen z neprekinjeno akcijo.
Samo Petje (36-6-1) je obdržal naslov FFC v lahkem kickboxingu, tako da je premagal izjemnega igralca, Bruno Gazani (60-7-0), z večino žreba (47-47, 47-47, 46-48).
Kot je oglaševano, ta dva bojevnika (Gazani in Petje) šel od peta do pete na zelo zabavnem glavnem dogodku, ki ni manjkal v množici prijetnih vrhuncev in razburljivih trenutkov. Gazani je stopil naprej in pritiskal na akcijo večino noči, s svojimi trdnimi boksarskimi sposobnostmi v svoj prid. Petje je lahko kontriral z visokimi koleni in hudimi telesnimi udarci, kar je na koncu pripeljalo do večinske odločitve. Videti je bilo, kot da je Gazani v petem krogu podrl Petjeja, vendar je bilo na koncu odločeno kot zdrs.
Nočni glavni dogodek, je bila še ena vojna, v kateri sta dva MMA Heavyweighta stala in stavkala tri zaporedne kroge. Tony “hulk” Johnson (12-4-1) poraženi D.J. “Da Zaščiteno” Linderman (21-15-0) s soglasno odločitvijo (30-27, 30-27, 29-28) v tistem, kar je bil absolutni polž. Linderman je v bitki že zgodaj utrpel velik rez nad desnim očesom in kljub nenehnemu toku krvi, ki mu je tekel po obrazu, še vedno se je odločil, da bo stal v žepu in zamenjal Johnsona.
Kevin “Nevihta” Johnson (6-1-0) šel na razdaljo z Isaac Luna (3-1-0) v dvoboju super lahkega boksa. Ključi so zmagali s soglasno odločitvijo (59-55, 58-56, 59-55) v vznemirljivem boju, kjer je Luna ves čas prihajala naprej in silila Johnsona, da se je vmešal celo noč. Johnson je dobro nasprotoval in je lahko uporabil ostre kombinacije, da je sprejel odločitev.
V dvoboju Kickboxing Catchweight, Meletis “Nightmare” Kakoubavas (33-7-0) ujeti Jermaine “NI BESEDE.” Thicket (24-7-0) z visokim desnim strelom ob bok Sotove glave na dvainpetdeset drugi točki drugega kroga njihovega kroga. Boj je bil ustavljen, potem ko se je Soto dvignil s platna, kar je privedlo do zmage TKO za Kakoubavas.
Noč se je začela s težkim Zac Cavenderjem (1-0-0) zmagal na profesionalnem prvenstvu v MMA z zmago v TKO v prvem krogu nad Mariusom Cantonerujem (0-2-0). Cavenderjeva tla in funt sta delovala do popolnosti, saj je vrsta pesti ob strani Cantonerujeve glave povzročila zaustavitev na 2:30 oznaka prvega kroga.
“FFC 34 obljubil, da bo izvedel borbe z nabito akcijo, in kot je oglaševano, točno to smo dostavili našim oboževalcem,” je dejal izvršni direktor / ustanovitelj FFC, Orsat Zovko. “Vse naše borbe, v vsaki disciplini, bili konkurenčni in prav v tem je izkušnja Fight Dome.”
