SFT MMA And Xtreme’s american debut august 13 in miami

“SFT 23 VR: Jeffrey vs. Assis”

Streaming live & exclusively onFITE.TV pay per view

MIAMI (Augusti. 6, 2020) — The COVID-19 pandemic has dramatically altered plans in combat sports, particularly for Brazil-based SFT MMA & Xtreme (Standout Fighting Turnering), which planned to make its American debut last June at Seminole Hard Rock in Hollywood, Florida. Its long-awaited American debut will finally take place on Thursday, Augusti 13, with “SFT 23 VR: Jeffrey vs. Assis”, in a closed show at Wynwood Studios in Miami, Florida.

“SFT 23 VR: Jeffrey vs. Assis” will be streamed live and exclusively worldwide on pay per view via the FITE app and website (www.FITE.tv), börjar vid 7 p.m. EDT / 4 p.m. PDT, for $14.95. It’ll also be taped live and air at future dates on regional television throughout the U.S. on United Fight Alliance (UFA), as well as on Brazilian television.

Only fighters and one corner person each, a skeleton staff including television production crew, tjänstemän, and commission members will be allowed onsite. No fans, medier, or ring-card girls. SFT will provide masks and be responsible for cleaning, disinfecting, and encouraging everyone to follow all COVID-19 recommendations. Everybody will be tested for COVID-19 the day prior to the weigh in, at the weight in, and during the day of the event.

“Our plan was for SFT MMA & Xtreme to have a circuit, starting in Brazil, and then promoting shows in the United States and Mexico,”SFT-president David Hudson sa. “The Coronavirus changed everything. Our show last Saturday night in Sao Paulo, Brasilien, was canceled after we had the weigh in, but we wanted to do the right thing and paid everybody involved.

“We can’t wait for U.S. fans to watch our product to understand what they’ve been missing. SFT gives fans what they want: konkurrenskraftig, action-packed fights in a completely different form of entertainment. We’re having our August 13th show in Miami because we want to increase awareness, particularly in the United States, of our unique product of combat sports entertainment. Our shows are regularly broadcast on one of the five national television networks in Brazil. We have five of the top seven pound-4-pound MMA fighters in Brazil and we want to bring some U.S. talent to fight in Brazil. Two fighters from this show will be given a chance to fight in Brazil and then, hopefully, at the Seminole Hard Rock later this year.”

The main event pits Canadian middleweightAaron Jeffrey (7-2-0, (SFT: 0-0-0) against BrazilianBruno “Brunao” Assis (9-4-0, SFT: 0-0-0) in their SFT MMA debuts. Styles make fights and Jeffrey, No. 1 rated middleweight in the Province of Ontario, will be looking for his sixth knockout, while Assis, No. 1-rated fighter in the State of Minas, has his sights set on his seventh submission finish.

American lightweightFrank “The Praying Mantis” Buenafuente (10-4-0, SFT: 0-0-0), fighting out of Garfield, New Jersey, takes on Mexico’s No. 4-TopplistaDaniel “Danger” Vega (12-3-0, SFT: 1-0-0) in the co-featured event. Buenafuente, who has a strong wrestling background, will be making his SFT MMA debut. Vega defeatedFabio Gasolina at “SFT 12” held in Mexico.

An SFT Xtreme (striking & kicking with 4-ounce gloves, no ground fighting) match will showcase Brazilian-native kickboxing legendMaycon Oller, who now fights out of Tustin, Kalifornien, against World kickboxing championJadar Alves, Brasilien, in what promises to be a sensational showdown.

A grappling match will be on tap as well, pitting two of Brazil’s leading middleweightsMarkus “Maluco” Perezmot Luis “Buscape” Firmino.

The opening bout on the main card finds American lightweightsJornel “A1” Lugo(3-0-0, SFT: 0-0-0) ochContavious Romious (4-0-0, SFT: 0-0-0) in a well-matched battle of two undefeated prospects.

The preliminary card offers strong support. BrazilianRegivaldo “Handstone” Carvahlo (5-2-0, SFT: 0-0-0) faces AmericanRaymond “Godson” Ramos (5-4-0, SFT: 0-0-0) fighting at a 140-pound catchweight in SFT debuts for both fighters, and two other SFT debut fighters, BrasilianskaLucas Alexandre (0-2-0, SFT: 0-0-0) and his American opponentShawn Brown (2-2-0, SFT: 0-0-0), square-off in a featherweight fight.

"

"Det kommer att bli bra att vara i hörnet av David 'El Bandera Roja' Benavídez på kampkvällen,”Sa Sampson Lewkowicz från Sampson Boxing, som återhämtar sig efter en ny operation. "Jag mår så bra och så stark och jag kan verkligen inte vänta med att vara där för att stödja den yngsta supermittenviktmästaren i historien."

Evenemanget marknadsförs av TGB Promotions och Sampson Boxing. The Romero vs. Maríñez-kampanjen marknadsförs av Mayweather Promotions.

Den 23-åriga Benavídez (22-0, 19 Kos) försvarar sitt bälte efter att ha besegrat två gånger supermidsviktmästaren Anthony Dirrell i september, stoppar honom i nio omgångar. Benavidez tränas av sin far José Sr., tillsammans med sin bror och tidigare titelutmanare, Jose Jr. I 2017, han blev den yngsta mästaren i supervikt i boxningshistoria genom att besegra Ronald Gavril på SHOWTIME på bara 20 år gammal. Representerar hans infödda Phoenix, Ariz. Benavídez gick från en 15-årig barnbarn sparring med Gennady Golovkin och Peter Quillin, till världstitel utmanare med en 10-fight knockout-rad från 2015 genom 2017, inklusive en höjdpunkt-utrullning av Rogelio Medina med en sju punch-kombination som fick honom sin första mästerskamp.

”Det har gått nästan ett år sedan förra gången jag kämpade, så jag är mycket angelägen om att komma tillbaka i ringen och ge fansen en stor kamp,”Sa Benavídez. ”Träningsläger har varit fantastiskt. Lyckligtvis, min pappa öppnade sitt eget gym precis före pandemin, så vi har haft privat utbildning och kunnat sätta in sparringspartners för att hjälpa mig arbeta. Jag står inför en väldigt knepig och robust kämpe, så jag tar honom mycket på allvar. Jag känner att jag kan dra nytta av några öppningar i hans försvar och leta efter knockout som om jag gör varje kamp. ”

Född i El Bordo, Colombia och kämpar nu från Miami, Fla., Angulo (26-1, 22 Kos) går in i sin andra världstitelmöjlighet på en tre-kamps vinnande rad, inklusive två segrar över tidigare obesegrade kämpar. Angulo stoppade Reinaldo Gonzalez in 2018 i sin första kamp sedan han förlorade ett beslut till den då super-medelviktmästaren Gilberto Ramirez tidigare samma år. Han fick en beslutsseger i januari över Anthony Sims Jr. att sätta sig själv i stånd att återigen utmana de bästa i divisionen.

"Jag är redo för allt som händer i ringen den 15 augusti," sade Angulo. ”Detta kommer att bli en stor kamp för fansen på grund av den stil jag tar med i ringen. Benavidez är en stark mästare, men min stil kommer att vara för mycket för honom och jag kommer att få min hand upp på kampkvällen. ”

Slåss av Las Vegas, Nev., Romero(11-0, 10 Kos) lade till tre knockout-segrar till hans tal 2019 före hans 2020 debuten såg honom stoppa tidigare obesegrade Arturs Ahmetovs i februari. En snabbt stigande möjlighet i Mayweather Promotions-stallen, 24-åringen rankas som nr. 10 av WBA och kommer att se ut för att förlänga sin sexkamp-knockout-rad i augusti 15.

“Det känns bra att återvända till ringen och kämpa för en så stor möjlighet,Sa Romero. ”Det här har varit det bästa lägret i min karriär, och jag ska bara säga det här, om en pandemi håller dig tillbaka från träningen, då vill du inte ha det tillräckligt illa. Jag tror redan att jag borde vara här med de bästa killarna, men världen kommer faktiskt att se att jag är den jag säger att jag är. Jag är övertygad om mina förmågor som kämpe och jag har det bästa i branschen, Floyd Mayweather, bakom mig. Jag tror att denna kamp slutar ganska snabbt, men du kommer att se tillväxten i mig som en kämpe. Detta är en annan kamp som ytterligare kommer att bevisa att jag är här för att stanna. Registrera dig för KO: s!”

”Detta är ett stort steg upp för Rolando, och han har väntat på möjligheten att visa upp sin talang,”Sa Leonard Ellerbe, VD för Mayweather Promotions. ”Han har ett stort test framåt för att bevisa sig själv. Detta kommer att bli en annan som du inte vill missa, så stäm in på SHOWTIME på lördag, 15 augusti. ”

Den 29-åriga Maríñez (19-0, 7 Kos) håller WBA: s Nej. 6 ranking, som han vann med segrar över Rolando Giono och Kenin Betancourt medan han tog upp åtta segrar mellan 2018 och 2019. Representerar hans infödda Santo Domingo, Dominikanska republiken, Maríñez lyckades i sin U.S.. debuterade i december förra året, stoppar Yardley Armenta Cruz i två omgångar.

”Jag har haft ett bra träningsläger för den här kampen,”Sa Maríñez. ”Jag har sparrat med Vergil Ortiz och Jose Ramirez, plus andra krigare i Robert Garcias gym, och det har gjort mig redo att gå in i ringen. Jag vet att Romero är en tuff och slitstark kämpe, så det blir inte lätt, men jag ska göra allt jag kan för att ta med titeln hem. "

Wallin (20-1, 13 Kos) kommer att återvända till ringen för första gången sedan han nästan besegrade Tyson Fury i september 2019, när han öppnade ett hemskt snitt över Furys högra öga med en laglig stans som nästan stoppade kampen. Medan 29-åringen förlorade ett beslut, han bevisade sin mettle som en potentiell framtida tungviktmästare. Representerar hans infödda Sundsvall, Sverige, Wallin tränar i New York med den tidigare mästaren Joey Gamache.

”Jag är mycket glad över att äntligen vara tillbaka i ringen,Sa Wallin. ”Det har varit ett långt och galen år på många sätt och det känns bra att vara redo att gå tillbaka in i ringen. Jag har tränat stadigt sedan Fury-striden och jag känner att jag har utvecklat mitt spel på många sätt. Kauffman är en tuff veteran som både kan komma fram eller boxas om han vill. Han är en fanvänlig fighter och jag måste vara redo hela tiden. Vi har en fantastisk spelplan som alltid och jag är i utmärkt form. Jag vet att jag har alla verktyg för att slå Kauffman. ”

En veteran i det tungviktiga landskapet, Kauffman (32-3, 23 Kos) äger en storbok som inkluderar utmaningar från toppvikt inklusive Luis Ortiz, Chris Arreola och Amir Mansour, bl.a.. Läsningen, Indianer i Pennsylvania tappade sin senaste kamp till Ortiz, efter a 2018 triumf över Scott Alexander.

”Detta är mitt första träningsläger på sju år utan broder Naazim Richardson, men jag vet att han inte skulle vilja att jag skulle lämna lägret och han vill att jag ska hålla fokus,”Sa Kauffman. ”Att få honom att förgå medan jag var i lägret var en av de svåraste saker jag har haft att göra med, men det finns motgångar i varje läger jag har haft. Jag skulle inte känna mig rätt om det inte fanns motstånd att övervinna. Min pappa, Marshall, gick tillbaka som huvudtränare. Vi vet att vi står inför en ung, hungrig fighter, men jag har mer erfarenhet än honom och jag tror inte att han kan hålla kvar 10 rundar med mig när jag är på 100% som jag kommer att vara den 15 augusti. ”

Ytterligare icke-TV-apparater kommer att innehålla super medelvikt utmanareAlantez Fox(26-2-1, 12 Kos) kämpar mot GhanasHabib Ahmed(27-1-1, 18 Kos) i en åtta-runda attraktion.

Boyes continued competing successfully on the unlicensed scene, competing in further Charity events to raise funds for those more in need than herself, until earlier this year. On the 15th August Boyes will be making making her professional debut

I mars 2019 De Almeida travelled to Bukom Boxing Arena in Accra, ghana, where she faced and beat the bookies favourite Malaysian Dolphina Waltertony, to secure the coveted Green WBC Belt.
