Mexican Consulate in Albuquerque, Efren Leyba, 和
WMMAA Pan-American president Tomas Yu (中心)
阿尔伯克基, 牛米. (二月 15, 2016) – 第二届世界MMA协会年会 (WMMAA) Pan-American Congress, recently held at The Albuquerque Hispano Chamber of Commerce in Albuquerque, 新墨西哥, was a major success by all standards.
“The Pan-American Movement”, as it was named, brought together sports, 旅游, and education for a common goal with more than 12 participating countries.
The Congress provided a rare opportunity for the entire WMMAA Pan-American family to collaborate with special partnerships like The Albuquerque Hispano Chamber of Commerce 和 The Mexico Consulate in Albuquerque, University of New Mexico Global Education Department. PANAM Members, representatives of National Federations, Commissions, Association and the Organizing Committee of the WMMAA Pan-American Championship (OCPC), as well as athletes, 教练, 媒体, sponsors and other stakeholders to meet and discuss issues of importance to the entire MMA movement.
In his closing speech to the Congress, Pan-American Division President 托马斯·玉 paid tribute to the excellent collaboration between Pan-American members.
“If you asked me to sprawl a couple of times, I would most definitely need some nitro coffee from Villa Myriam before I run out of breath, followed by the guaranteed use of Sore No More,” 宇说. “But when it comes to fighting for our youth, for our MMA global goals – for cleaner competition, for a healthier, more peaceful and more flourishing SPORT – I will sprawl-jab-cross-kick like a champion. I will sprint the steepest trail in the Sandia Mountains. I will never stop until we raise our hands by victory. I am counting and exhorting all involved in the MMA industry to join us. We must go for the KO.”
Over the course of the three-day Congress and 13-day PANAM Camp, there were special guest such as Legacy Champion Damacio页, former UFC champion 乔恩 “骨头” 琼斯 和 卡洛斯 - 康迪特. Participants heard from many respected speakers such as Health Committee Director Curt Chavez from eVOLV Strong, 赫克托·莫利纳, Director of PANAM Regulatory Committee and Director of PANAM Medical Committee, 博士. Justo Pavia. The congress had interesting discussions on the following themes: 运动员, 2016 Expo MMA, structure of the “WMMAA Pan-American Movement”, global officials’ license and database, new era of Digital Sports Marketing Revolution, 而 2016 Pan-American Championships.
Each day was divided in two general sessions with a half-day devoted to Rules and Regulations discussions for PANAM. The plenary sessions were followed by three simultaneous breakout sessions on respective sub-themes. All sessions were live-cast over the internet to allow the general public to hear discussions as it happened.
Two sessions began with presentations from a panel of speakers. The moderators of each panel were then responsible for the ensuing discussion period, which gave participants an opportunity to voice their opinions on issues. The main points from each session were carefully recorded by“ENLACE” – the new exclusive WMMAA correspondent program – to inform the Editorial Committee of the discussions at the end of each day. The final document reflected the main ideas to come out of the proceedings in Albuquerque, as well as information collected through the virtual WMMAA Pan-American Congress, allowing the WMMAA Pan-American family and public to submit written contributions.
The mission of the 2016 WMMAA Pan-American Congress was to bring together sports, tourism and education for a united front and review the status of the WMMAA PANAM Movement in today’s evolving global society. Information was gathered and opinions sought regarding its future, in addition to providing structure, guidance, proposals and recommendations to all constituents and other stakeholders of the WMMAA PANAM Movement for its structured showcase and harmonious development within the global youth community.
该 2016 WMMAA Pan-American Congress was a great success and has left the WMMAA Pan-American Movement with a blueprint for the future. It is now time, 再次, for the PANAM family to translate words into action: We are the Future of MMA!

Click for fight highlights: Michael Chandler vs. 埃迪·阿尔瓦雷斯
SANTA MONICA, 加利福尼亚州. (二月 12, 2015) – When sifting through a list of Bellator MMA’s greatest fights, few names appear as often as “铁”迈克尔·钱德勒 (14-3).
今天, Bellator MMA is proud to announce that Chandler will be continuing to compete for the promotion for the foreseeable future, with the news that the former 155-pound champion has signed an exclusive multi-year, multi-fight extension to remain with the Scott Coker-led promotion.
“Michael Chandler is synonymous with our brand and doubles as an incredibly talented and exciting mixed martial artist,” said Bellator President 斯科特·科克尔. “Not every fighter or free agent aligns with our future plans, but when looking at Chandler’s resume, inking him to a long-term extension was a no-brainer. I look forward to getting him back in action as soon as possible.”
Chandler was also pleased with his extension, 说明: “I’m ecstatic to continue my career with Scott Coker and Bellator MMA. It’s obvious that good things are continuing to happen for this promotion and it’s correlating to big opportunities for myself as well,“钱德勒说. “I can’t wait to get back in action and test myself against some of these new guys coming in and move back up through the ranks. 一如既往, my eyes are on that belt, and it will be back around my waist soon.”
A 14-fight Bellator MMA veteran, Chandler has been a member of the Viacom-owned promotion since 2010. Prior to joining the Bellator ranks, the Missouri native competed for Strikeforce. Amongst his notable victories, Chandler bested Eddie Alvarez via submission at “Bellator 58” in what many fans and pundits alike considered the fight of 2011.
Further along the way, Chandler defeated the likes of Patricky“斗犬”弗莱雷, 马尔辛举行, Rick Hawn, 和 大卫Rickels (2X). 他的 14 赢得作为一个专业, Chandler has amassed 12 victories before reaching the judges’ scorecards.
Chandler remains in Bellator’s lightweight division, which includes kingpin 威尔·布鲁克斯, 随着 乔希汤姆森, 布兰登Girtz, 梅尔文Guillard, 本森亨德森, 布伦特博智, 德里克·安德森, 和你阿瓦德.
路易斯顿, 缅因 (二月 12, 2016) - 新英格兰战斗 (NEF), 美国的头号地区拼促销, 将举行下一次活动, “NEF 22: 条条大路通HERE” 上 星期六, 四月 22, 2016在安德罗斯科银行Colisée酒店在路易斯顿, 缅因. The fight card will feature a mix of mixed-martial-arts (MMA) 与职业拳击较量. 今天早些时候,, NEF announced the addition of a featherweight contest to the amateur portion of the “22 NEF” fight card. Bantamweight Champion 约翰尼工艺品 (4-0) will move up in weight to face 泰勒·科斯坦蒂诺 (2-1) 145磅.
Crafts was successful last Saturday in his attempt to capture the inaugural NEF MMA Amateur Bantamweight Title. He took out Henry Clark (3-2) in the third round of their bout in Lewiston. Crafts is a decorated Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu (巴西柔术) brown belt out of Team New England United (NEW). He also cross-trains with Central Maine Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu (CMBJJ) 在路易斯顿.
“I’m excited to step up to 145 to fight Taylor,” said Crafts of the upcoming matchup with Costantino. “I will be very strong at that weight seeing as I cut pretty extensively to make 135. It will allow me to focus on different areas this camp instead of putting a lot of my energy into cutting weight.”
Costantino is himself coming off a big win last Saturday at “NEF 21。” It took him a mere 25-seconds to down Frank Johanson (0-1), a training partner of Crafts at CMBJJ, 在第一轮. Costantino is clear that he is coming to fight on 四月 23, and he does not plan on engaging in a grappling contest with Crafts.
“Respect to him for coming up in weight,” said Costantino of Crafts. “He’s a glorified pajama warrior that has never been punched in the face with any type of authority. He will clinch quickly and look for the takedown. He’ll realize real quick that he has never fought or trained with anybody like me.”
Crafts and Costantino are not strangers to one another. Several years ago, the two met in a jiu-jitsu tournament with Crafts coming out on top.
“Taylor and I have competed before in a sport jiu-jitsu tournament,” recalled Crafts. “Taylor says I am a glorified pajama warrior who has never been punched in the face, but if I recall correctly, I submitted him without my ‘pajamas’ no-gi in that tournament pretty quickly. I train with a lot of very talented and tough fighters daily who punch me in the face very hard. People say the same thing about me not getting punched – 很好, I have had four fights and they just haven’t had the chance to. Anyone who has trained with high-level fighters will tell you that gi jiu-jitsu only makes you more of a technical fighter. If he doesn’t believe that, that is fine – he will feel it on 4月23日.”
“Johnny did submit me when I first moved to Maine,” Costantino admitted. “Legit submission, and his pure grappling is definitely high level. My grappling is MMA based, not slow jitsu. It’s grimy, grueling and punishing. Pure grappling, I would worry about his game. But it’s a fight, sport jiu-jitsu means next to nothing to me.
“I wish I could say people will get to see my whole game, but I can’t guarantee that. Johnny will feel my power and look to go to his comfort zone. I will break him, you will see quit in his eyes.”
“After Taylor won in impressive fashion at NEF 21, he immediately screamed at me while still inside the cage that he wanted a black belt for his next challenge,” 说NEF共同所有者和媒人马特·彼得森. “很好, he’s getting a brown belt in Johnny Crafts who, by all accounts, is due to receive his black belt any day, 是一个完美的 4-0 in the cage and is the current NEF amateur bantamweight champion. This fight is dripping with drama and will define a future top contender for the featherweight title in NEF’s stacked 145-pound division.”

Smith will be making his Bellator MMA debut against a fighter who is currently in the midst of a four-fight winning streak. “午夜 Magic” is on a bit of a roll of his own, coming into the promotion riding a two-bout winning streak. A veteran of UFC and most recently RFA, Smith won the regional promotion’s welterweight belt in June, defending the title one time before signing with Bellator.
Gonzalez took a brief hiatus from MMA to compete in the kickboxing portion of the groundbreaking “Bellator MMA: 炸药1“ event in September, losing a tightly contest decision to world-renowned striker 保罗“Semtex型爆炸物”戴利. Gonzalez now returns to his comfort zone of MMA, where he has strung together an impressive four-fight winning streak. A veteran of the Scott Coker-founded Strikeforce promotion, as well as World Extreme Cagefighting, Gonzalez has been competing professionally since 2003.
Kakai is one of Bellator MMA’s latest signings, joining the fray after a two-fight stint in the UFC. “Zohan,” 26, hails from Sweden and owns 10 完成他的 12 victories as a professional fighter.
