SoLeyte 34 On Nov. 9 At Fight Dome Las Vegas Has Been Canceled

Medical Concerns And Fighter Safety Led To The Cancelation Of FFC 34
Photo Courtesy of: Katapusan nga Fight Championship

LAS VEGAS, NV (Nobyembre 8, 2018) – Due to reasons involving medical issues, Final Fight Championship has announced thatFFC 34on November 9th has been officially canceled.

 

 

 

Nick Sadeghi, MD of Athlete Advantage Medical in Las Vegas, NV, released the following statement to Final Fight Championship.

 

The Nevada State Athletic Commission requires a series of medical examinations to be completed by a professional fighter in order to determine the medical condition of a fighter, the outcome of those exams determining if the fighter will be cleared to compete or not. Of utmost concern is the fighter’s physical well-being. It was determined by independent physicians conducting the exams for FFC as well as the Nevada State Athletic Commission that several fighters scheduled to compete on the November 9th fight card would not be able to compete due to abnormal MRA findings which identified small aneurysms in the brain. For obvious reasons, these fighters could not be cleared to compete without proper medical workup. This includes consulting with a Neurosurgeon and an Interventional Radiologist. Some fighters may be cleared after this, but some may need a surgical procedure to correct the aneurysm before he or she can continue to fight in the future.

 

 

 

FFC CEO/President, Orsat Zovko, issued his own statement regarding the unfortunate cancelation.

 

 

 

We are disappointed to make this announcement, but on such short notice it was impossible to move forward because four of our six fights were stopped by the commission and medical personnel, including our Main Event and Co-Event,” said Zovko.

 

 

 

We must follow the strict rules and guidelines of the Nevada Athletic Commission, and we respect the decisions made by the medical community, because it is in the best interest of the fighters, and to protect their health is the ultimate goal.

 

 

 

Katapusan nga Fight Championship (SoLeyte) is the first and only professional combat sports franchise offering fans a unique ‘multi-discipline’ kasinatian (Boxing, Kickboxing and MMA), where every event culminates with a championship title bout. All FFC events take place insideFight Domeat Caesars Entertainment’s Rio Las Vegas, the all-new mecca of combat sports.

Sa iyang labing bag-o nga away, Hernandez defeated Daniel Valdivia (14-3, 10 KOs) in a fight that Valdivia was rocked badly in the last two rounds. Some controversy happened after the bout as Valdivia was originally announced the winner, despite being out boxed and beaten, an official at ringside counted the scores again and realized a judging error and announced Hernandez, the rightful winner.

On top of the bizarre ending, Hernandez was cut in the fight and forced to sit, because of his cut. Valdivia replaced him and got dropped and beaten by Shane Mosely Jr., who now is in the finals.

Hernandez is readier than ever now to make things happen as he wishes to keep his momentum moving forward and face the best in the division.

I have had a great camp with my trainer Henry Ramirez in Riverside, ingon nga, and I am ready for Friday night.” Miingon Hernandez. “I am going to show all of my skills when I step in the ring and I’m going to steal the show.

Si Wilson nahimong Los Angeles Times High School Football Player sa tuig, ingon man usa ka tulo ka oras nga Track sa tanan nga lungsod & Atleta sa uma, nga nakakuha kaniya usa ka iskolarship sa Concord University sa West Virginia.

Pagkahuman niini nakakuha siya usa ka pagdapit sa kampo sa pagbansay kauban ang mga Chicago Bears. Hinuon gipili niya ang pagsunod sa lain pang hilig sa atletiko.

 

 

 

“Gisugdan nako ang paghimo sa Kenpo-Karate, Muay-Thai ug Kickboxing.” Si Wilson adunay usa ka propesyonal nga rekord sa Kickboxing sa 16-2-1 diin siya nakigkompetensya sa mga nag-una nga organisasyon sama sa K-1 ug Glory.

 

 

Human nga, Gisulayan ni Wilson ang iyang kamut sa MMA ug gipakita ang usa ka impresibo 5-2 nagtala ug nakig-away alang sa labing gitamud nga Bellator Fighting Championships.

“Nakita ko si James ingon usa ka brilyante sa gubot,” Miingon si Shaw. “Adunay siya ang kombinasyon ug katulin ug kusog nga dili nimo makita sa dibisyon sa gibug-aton sa timbang. Anaa kana kaniya “kini” hinungdan nga akong nakita sa Kimbo Slice. Swerte ako nga gipirmahan ko si Kailo sa mga away nga nakita sa Youtube. Pagsulod ni Kailo sa usa ka kuwarto, gibati nimo ang presensya ug kusog. Nakita ko ang daghang parehas nga mga hiyas sa mga termino nga si James ang ingon nga usa ka matang sa usa ka atraksyon. Bisan kinsa nga masayup nga si James alang sa usa ka magdudula sa football o usa ka Mixed Martial Artist siguradong adunay mga kamot nga puno sa singsing sa boksing. Kini usa ka atleta nga blue-chip, ” Miingon si Shaw, nga nagdako sa isport ingon ang iyang amahan nga si Gary Shaw usa sa mga nag-una nga tigpasiugda sa kalibutan sa miaging tulo ka dekada.

 

 

 

 

 

Ang 1st job ni Shaw mao ang pagkuha sa husto nga trainer ni James. Pagsulud sa Justin Fortune.

 

 

 

“Dugay na nakong nakaila si Justin. Parehas ingon usa ka coach sa kusog ug pagkondisyon ug ingon usa ka tigbansay. Ang kadaghanan makaila kaniya sa kiliran ni Manny Pacquiao, apan tingali kadaghanan sa mga tawo wala mahibal-an nga si Justin usa ka mabug-at nga paglaum nga nakig-away ni Lennox Lewis. Ang labi nakong gusto sa kini nga pagpares mao si Justin nga usa usab ka mubo nga gibug-aton sa timbang usab, apan usa ka kusgan nga puncher. Ang iyang katuigan nga kasinatian mao ang makatabang sa James nga mapadali ang iyang pagtubo sa isport. Ingon usa ka tem, kita adunay usa ka tumong nga ibalik ang usa ka kampiyonato sa kalibutan balik sa Los Angeles ug sa angay nga panahon,” nagpadayon si Shaw.

 

 

 

Ang sunod nga lakang ni Shaw mao ang pagpangita sa husto nga tigpasiugda nga pirmahan ni Wilson, ug ang duo nakit-an ang usa sa labing kadaghan nga mga kompanya sa kalibutan nga interesado.

Giasoy ni Shaw ang kaminyoon tali sa fighter ug tigpasiugda.

 

 

“Kini ang hingpit nga kahimtang. Ang Golden Boy Promotions usa sa mga nanguna sa among isport bahin sa mga kompanya sa promosyon. Sa kini nga kahimtang, nagtrabaho nga adunay ka usa ka maayong paglaum gikan sa Los Angeles nga nakig-away gikan sa usa ka bantog nga kompanya sa kalibutan nga nakabase sa Los Angeles. Karon pa si Golden Boy naa sa taas sa isport. Gipasiugda nila ang labing maayong manlalaban sa kalibutan sa Canelo Alvarez, ug nakagpasalig sila kaniya sa usa ka wala pa hitabo nga pakigsabot sa DAZN. Gipaabut namon ang mga oportunidad nga moabut alang ni James, ug aron ipakita si James’ talagsaon nga hugpong sa mga kahanas. Naa nako ang 100% pagsalig kang Oscar (De La Hoya), Eric (Gomez) ug Robert (Diaz) aron madala si James sa kampiyonato sa Heavyweight sa kalibutan, ug makatabang nga mapadako ang iyang potensyal nga kita. Wala pa’y kampiyon sa Heavyweight ang Los Angeles, busa kini adunay hingpit nga kahulugan nga ang ika-1 nga kauban ang usa ka kompleto nga koponan nga nakabase sa Los Angeles kauban si James, Justin, Kami ni Golden Boy. ”

 

 

 

“Ang gusto nako nga mahibal-an sa mga tawo bahin kang James mao ang sulud sa mga lubid, siya usa ka Beast and Human Highlight Film, busa Ayaw Blink. Apan sa gawas sa singsing, siya usa ka dili katuohan nga amahan sa iyang tulo ka mga lalaki. Usa ka hilabihang kadasig nga mamumulong, ug usa ka positibo nga sulondan sa sulud nga mga syudad ug sa nahabilin sa kalibutan. Dako siya sa komunidad ug makatabang sa mga kabatan-onan. Labi na ang mga gi-bully.”

 

 

 

Gisulti ni Wilson ang daghang mga bata bahin sa Anti-Bullying. “Naghimo ako daghang pagsulti ug mga seminar alang sa kontra-bullying. Nag-adtoan ako sa daghang mga eskuylahan ug nag-atiman sa mga balay ug gisuginlan ko sila sa akong istorya. Sa akong hunahuna mahimo ako nga usa ka tawo alang sa mga bata nga gipangita ug ipahibalo kanila nga sila adunay kaugmaon bisan kung unsa man ang ilang kahimtang. Gisultihan ko ang mga bata nga ang imong mga kamot hinagiban, ang imong baba hinagiban, ug ang lugar ra alang sa away naa sa sulud sa usa ka singsing.”

 

 

 

Kung gipangutana kung kinsa ang gusto niya nga away ug kung unsa ang iyang mga katuyoan sa sport, Miingon si Wilson, “Wala ako nagtinguha nga away ang bisan kinsa nga piho nga indibidwal, Nagtinguha ako nga awayon silang tanan. Labing importante, Ania ako aron hatagan ang mga fans us aka tan-awon. Kini mao ang 365 adlaw sa “Mananap” panahon. Kini nga Beast Mode o Wala’y Mode.”
