WMMAA appeal review results in draw for June 17th Emelianenko vs. Maldonado fight

 

MONTE CARLO, Monaco(Júlí 15, 2016)- The World Mixed Martial Arts Association (WMMAA) has issued an announcement regarding an appeal recently filed by Stefano Sartori, manager of Brazilian fighter Fabio Maldonado, to reassess the result of his June 17th fight with Fedor Emelianenko, which headlined Fight Nights Global 50 in Saint Petersburg, Rússland.
WMMAA General Secretary & Senior Vice President Alexander Engelhardt (mynd til vinstri) has declared that Emelianenko vs. Maldonado, which was originally ruled a majority decision victory in favor of Emeliananko, officially be changed to a draw.
Team Malondado’s appeal to the WMMAA was filed claiming a conflict of interest because all of the judges are employed by the Russian MMA Union, of which Emelianenko serves as president, as well as for the initial appeal to the Russian MMA Union, a sanctioned WMMAA member, being unjustly rejected by the head jury.
Engelhardt was appointed by WMMAA present Vadim Finkelchetein to handle the appeal procedure. A committee was formed comprised of Engelhardt, Hector Molina (Mexico), Chairman of the Rules, Regulations and Referee Committee; Ino Alberga (The Netherlands), Member of the Rules, Regulations and Referee Committee; Poalo Biotti (Ítalía), Chairman Ethics and Disciplinary Committee; Zaya Zaya (Ástralía), Member Professional Referee Committee.
Að auki, independent judge Marco Broersen (The Netherlands), Chairman of Professional Referee Committee and Ethics and Disciplinary Committee, was responsible for selecting an independent judgespanel to reassess the original result. The three-judges were Youri Lamoureux (Canada), Lukasz Bosacki(Pólland) og Alexey Zemskov (Rússland).
Each of the three aforementioned judges scored the first round in favor of Emelianenko, 10-8, and the second and third rounds for Maldonado, 10-9 hver, resulting in a 28-28 draga.
The appeal procedure was divided into two parts for review in terms of whether the procedural mistakes related to the fight were made and that an independent international judgespanel had to review the fight.
The WMMAA came to the conclusion that the appeal was legitimate and it was accepted due to the fact one of the fighters, Emelianenko, as President of the Russian MMA Union, and Head of Judges, Radmir Gabdullin, had a working relationship that could potentially affect the judgmental decisions. The WMMAA made it clear that it wasn’t saying the aforementioned relationship led to a different outcome of the result, just that it was an unfortunate choice.
Auk, the WMMAA ruled that initially refusing the appeal was a mistake based on WMMAA amateur rules as Emelianenko vs. Maldonado was conducted under WMMAA rules.
The appeal decision that resulted in the result being changed toUnanimous Drawwas accepted by the WMMAA, which informed Fight Nights, the promoter of Emelianko vs. Maldonado, Emelianenko, Sartori and the Russian MMA Union of its decision, and that it official had closed the appeal.

Team Maldonado files WMMAA appeal to reassess result of June 17th Emelianenko vs. Maldonado fight in Russia

MONTE CARLO, Monaco (Júlí 4, 2016) — The World Mixed Martial Arts Association (WMMAA) has received an appeal from Stefano Sartori, manager of Brazilian fighter Fabio Maldonado, to reassess the result of his June 17thfight with Fedor Emelianenko, which headlined Fight Nights Global 50 in Saint Petersburgh, Rússland.
Emelianenko was awarded a win by majority decision, which Team Malondado has appealed, claiming a conflict of interest because all of the judges are employed by the Russian MMA Union, of which Emelianenko serves as president.
Team Maldonado believes Maldonando should have won the decision, or the fight declared a draw at the very least, in their opinion, as the Brazilian clearly won the first round, 10-8, Emelianenko came back to take the second round, 10-9, and the third round was a toss-up.
Because Russian MMA Union vice president Radmir Gabdullin was the head judge for the aforementioned bout, Team Maldonando feels that a fair judgement regarding its appeal can be rendered only by independent, international judges reviewing the fight.
Team Maldonando has appealed the decision on grounds that there was an obvious conflict of interest in terms of the Russian MMA Union judges and their close association with Fedor, as well as the quality of decisions they rendered. Rather than appeal the decision to the Russian MMA Union, which they claimed would place Russian judges under intense pressure, Team Maldonando made the appeal directly to the WMMAA because the Russian MMA Union is a sanctioned member of the worldwide sanctioning body WMMAA.
WMMAA president Vadim Finkelchtein has announced the following sequence of actions:
  • WMMAA Secretary General Alexander Engelhardt has been appointed to handle the appeal procedure
  • A group of objective international judges, under the guidance of experienced referee/judge Marco Broersen (Holland), to be appointed to assess the Emelianenko-Maldonado fight based on the tape and render an unbiased verdict regarding the fight and work of the judges
  • Temporarily suspend WMMAA head judge Radmir Gabdullin from his position
  • Discuss judgeswork at the next WMMAA Congress, taking into account the pending verdict of the independent commission

WMMAA President Vadim Finkelchtein Leading sport into future

MONTE CARLO, Monaco (Mars 14, 2016)- World Mixed Martial Arts Association (WMMAA) President Vadim Finkelchtein, who founded the sanctioning organization in 2012, continues to lead WMMAA and the sport into a very bright future.
In four short years, WMMAA has alreadydeveloped into the strongest sanctioning body in the MMA world, hosting some of the sport’s most prestigious championships, as well as creating a highly respected culture in throughout sports worldwide.
Finkelchtein answered some pertinent questions below about WMMAA, its past and future, in addition to addressing the growth of mixed martial arts:
Geturðu sagt okkur frá þér og reynslu þinni í bardagaíþróttum?
VF: “I practiced judo when I was a kid. Back then there was no MMA whatsoever.

Hvernig komstu fyrst inn í heim MMA?
VF: “Í 1995, I was offered an opportunity to sponsor an MMA event. That’s when I learned about and fell in love with no holds barred, or free-fight, as it was called then. Í 1997, I organized my own event in Russia. The rest is history.

Hvenær heyrðir þú fyrst um MMA og hver var fyrsta sýn þín? Gerði
you expect this sport to grow as much as it has today?

VF: “When I saw my first MMA event in 1995, I was amazed by its scale and how many people came to watch. People were genuinely interested. It was a whole other level and approach to a sports event. And I had seen a lot so I could compare empirically. I have always believed in MMA and expected it would eventually become the number one sport in the world, although back then no one would acknowledge MMA as a sport. Okkar
athletes and fight teams had a hard time. They were not even welcome in sambo gyms to train there. It was a long and a hard way to change MMA’s image that was deemed as human cock fighting or closely related to organized crime. Thanks to the fact I have never had any relations to crime, when this sport landed in my hands in late 90’s, it
helped greatly as we were able to turn the tide and after all these years to help governments to officially recognize MMA.

Hvert er hlutverk þitt og helstu starfsemi innan WMMAA?
VF: “I founded the World MMA Association in 2012 because I felt the time had come. MMA is the fastest growing sport and it’s time to start developing it at another level, giving it a new but essential dimension. Due to its popularity, thousands of fans of all ages started practicing in Mixed Martial Arts. At that moment, I had accumulated a vast network in multiple countries. I knew countless numbers of activists across the globe, so the start was destined to happen. From the get-go over 20 countries joined the WMMAA family. At this moment there are over 60 countries and counting.

Hvernig myndir þú meta framfarir WMMAA á þriggja ára tilveru þess?
VF: “WMMAA is still in its infancy. Já, we lack experience and financing, and MMA is a new kind of sport in many regions. But I have to say that we’re growing and the last World Championship in Czech Republic proved it. Over 40 national teams flew to Prague with over 200 íþróttamenn. The level of competition evolved so much. The organizational level was also high and we are thankful to our Czech MMA Federation for its great work. This World Championship proved there is demand for MMA around the world.

What are the main goals of WMMAA and what are the main obstacles facing
the association?
VF: “The goals are to encourage as many countries as possible to join the WMMAA
fjölskylda, to facilitate them in their struggle to get MMA recognized in their respective countries, helping them develop amateur MMA. There are countless obstacles but I firmly believe we’ll prevail.

Voru einhver lönd sem stóðu sig upp úr eða komu þér á óvart?
VF: “China surprised me a lot. They joined WMMAA recently but since then they’ve shown solid results. Einnig, I enjoyed the performance of Latin American teams. It was their debut but one Colombian kid (Andrey Roa Ruiz Dumar) won a bronze medal and that was great.
Enn og aftur, Russia won the majority of the medals due to amateur MMA there developing with extremely rapid strides ever since early 2012. Fedor Emelianenko is the main locomotive and driving force in Russia. The selection process there is just unbelievable. You can’t imagine how many steps one needs to make in order to become the champion of the Russian Federation. The City Championship, Oblast Championship, regional and national championship. Each of these events consists of at least three fights, which means that a Russian champion will probably have had at least won 15 fights under his belt by the time of the European or World Championships. Only truly the best get to the top. Imagine this: around 7,000 athletes participated in the aforementioned events in 2015.

What are the 2016 mid-term goals for WMMAA?
VF: “The normal routine is to hold the Asian Championship, Pan-American Championship, multiple referee and judge seminars and certifications, then prepare for the European and, consequently, the World Championship that will coincide with the annual Congress.

Geturðu lýst hverju 2015 var eins og fyrir WMMAA?
VF: “I was amazed with the Asian Championship in Tajikistan with thousands and thousands of fans at the stacked football stadium. I enjoyed watching how many people turned their eyes to an amateur MMA event.

Hvaða viskuorðum myndir þú vilja deila með meðlimum WMMAA fjölskyldunnar?
VF: “I’d ask all WMMAA members to adhere to the agreements and decisions we reached collectively. It pertains to the set of rules, judging process, búnaður, unified rules, and youth sports development.
WMMAA heldur áfram að stækka, þó, there are still multiple countries that are not yet WMMAA members. Why should any local Federation apply for WMMAA membership?
VF: “WMMAA is the strongest MMA organization there is. We plan to continuously hold regional and world championships and keep developing and evolving. Íþróttamenn’ ethical upbringing is also our target. We believe this sport can give so much to the world in various ways and we put a lot of effort into its development. We’ll gladly accept strong and worthy partners into our ranks.
We are truly an amateur association, although others may think we are not. The thing is it’s rather hard to verify the real records of MMA athletes. There is no official and ubiquitous database or instance that would provide 100-percentreliable and accurate information pertaining to the amount of fights under someone’s belt. Some amateur fights might be recorded as professional and professional fights as amateur, which was the reason for us canceling the previous rule of pro fight limitation for the time being, in order to develop a new system of fighterseligibility evaluation. We are working on that as we speak.

Fólk heldur áfram að spyrja: hvers vegna ættum við að nota SportID og SportData. Getur þú
explain why it is so essential?

VF: “We are an official and credible sport. Our association ought to be transparent. These databases show the data on athletes, their statistics and numbers. They show the quantitative as well as qualitative growth of mixed martial artists. They facilitate in overseeing the championships registered in SportData, helping to broadcast them. Ennfremur, they contain so many functions that it would take me forever to discuss it. Just think of rankings, both individual and national, bardagamenn’ profiles and so on. I need to remind everyone that, based on the Congress decision, the use of and
registration in these databases are mandatory for all our members.

Hittu Tomas Yu WMMAA varaforseta

MONTE CARLO, Monaco (Febrúar 25, 2016)- Heimurinn MMA Association (WMMAA) varaforseti Tomas Yu, Albuquerque (NM), sem einnig er forseti WMMAA Pan-American deildarinnar, tók sér tíma úr annasömu dagskránni til að svara spurningum um MMA bakgrunn hans og reynslu, íþróttina MMA og WWMMA sérstaklega.
Geturðu sagt okkur frá þér og reynslu þinni í bardagaíþróttum?
TY: “Ég er af þeirri kynslóð sem ólst upp við að horfa 3 Ninjur,Ninja skjaldbökur… Ég vildi verða Ninja! Ég ólst upp við að æfa Tae Kwon Do í Mexíkó, alla leið að svarta beltinu mínu. Á aldrinum 18, Ég vogaði mér að æfa Aikido og Júdó í El Paso, Texas. Ég elskaði að læra og mig langaði alltaf að vera þéttur nemandi, þess vegna leitaði ég alltaf að mismunandi listum til að vega upp á móti veikleikum hinnar.”
Hvernig komstu fyrst inn í heim MMA?
TY: “Ég var virkilega að leita að stað þar sem ég gæti kynnt dóttur mína fyrir bardagaíþróttum. Ég var að leita að ávalari sjálfsvarnarbardagaíþrótt en ekki bardagaklúbbi. Ég kynntist íþróttinni MMA af góðum vini og frumkvöðli íþróttarinnar, Chris Luttrell. Ég var strax tengdur íþróttinni, þar sem það er það sem allir bardagalistamenn eru að leita að á einum tímapunkti.”
Hvenær heyrðir þú fyrst um MMA og hver var fyrsta sýn þín? Gerði
þú býst við að þessi íþrótt vaxi eins mikið og hún er núna?

TY: “Ég hef verið þeirra forréttinda að sjá þróun MMA síðan 1993 sem unglingur, allt til þessa, að verða fyrsti Pan-American deildarforsetinn í mikilvægustu reglugerðarsamtökunum um MMA í heiminum.”
Hvert er hlutverk þitt og helstu starfsemi innan WMMAA?
TY “Stærsta hlutverk mitt er að kynna einfaldar viðskiptareglur fyrir MMA íþróttina og halda bardagalist í MMA. Það sem ég meina með því er, samnefnari hverrar einstakrar hjúskaparlistar eru (Virðing, Hollusta, Heiður) og blanda af bardagalistum ætti ekki að tákna það sem fólk telur að MMA sé í dag. Það ætti að vera blanda af virðingu, Hollusta og heiður. Það ætti að vera miklu meira dáð íþrótt.”
Hvernig myndir þú meta framfarir WMMAA á þriggja ára tilveru þess?
TY: “Jæja, sem frumkvöðull, Ég er aldrei sáttur, Ég sé alltaf leiðir til að gera hlutina betur en raunin er sú, í því 25+ ár hefur MMA verið að þróast og orðið ekki bara blanda af bardagaíþróttum heldur líka sönn blá íþrótt. Margir hafa reynt að bæta gildi við íþróttina án raunverulegs árangurs fyrr en undanfarin tvö ár með WMMAA.”
Hver eru helstu markmið WMMAA og hverjar eru helstu hindranir félagsins?
TY: “Þessi spurning hefur langt og flókið svar! Hindrun númer eitt er stolt, stolt af því að viðurkenna að fyrri frammistaða eða formúlur til að auka virði virkuðu ekki og munu ekki virka. Stolt að viðurkenna að vinna saman mun ryðja nýja braut. Hindrun númer tvö, er SKILNINGUR, skilja heildarmyndina, eins og ör- og þjóðhagfræði séu í raun tveir ólíkir heimar.
“Íþróttin eða list MMA er miklu meira en það sem við sjáum í sjónvarpi. Það er miklu dýpri áhrif á samfélagið en borga fyrir áhorf.”
Hvernig metur þú þriðja heimsmeistaramótið sem fram fór í
Prag?
TY: “Svona augnablik eru þau sem 3 árum síðan við myndum dreyma um. Jæja, í fyrra rættist sá draumur… yfir 40 lönd tóku þátt í fallegu borginni Prag. Ég get ekki útskýrt árekstra tilfinninganna þegar þú sérð og heyrir land eftir land tilkynnt þegar þeir ganga inn á völlinn með höfuðið hátt þegar þeir bera þjóðfánann sinn.
Við sem samtök bjuggum til Continental Presidents til að geta framkvæmt betri eftirfylgni og einnig verið viðkvæmari samningaviðræður í mismunandi menningarumhverfi. Evrópu- og tékkneska skipulagsnefndin okkar stóð sig frábærlega.
Voru einhver lönd sem stóðu sig upp úr eða komu þér á óvart?
TY: “Sú staðreynd að þeir voru þarna, það er það sem stendur í raun upp úr! Sum lönd tóku þátt í fyrsta skipti. Andleg samkeppni í sumum löndum var ótrúleg. Ég get ekki beðið eftir 2016 Heimsmeistaramót.”
Hver eru miðtímamarkmið 2016 fyrir WMMAA PanAm?
TY: “Áherslan númer eitt fyrir PANAM er útfærsla á nýju frumkvæði okkar um „Global MMA embættismenn og leyfisveitingar’ að staðla íþróttina um allan heim, en einnig staðla þá embættismenn sem sjá um íþróttina.”
Geturðu lýst hverju 2015 var eins og fyrir WMMAA?
TY: “2015 var ár stofnana, ráðningar, og undirbúa þann vöxt sem kemur til okkar á þessu ári.”
Hvaða viskuorðum myndir þú vilja deila með meðlimum WMMAA fjölskyldunnar?
TY: “Ég hef alltaf sagt að í hverri íþrótt sé fyrirtæki á bak við hana, trúa: 'Þar til hingað til, MMA er eins og Capital… það fer þangað sem því er fagnað og það helst þar sem vel er farið með það“”
WMMAA heldur áfram að stækka. Hins vegar eru enn mörg lönd sem
eru ekki enn WMMAA meðlimir. Hvers vegna ætti einhver staðbundin samtök að sækja um
fyrir WMMAA aðild?
TY: “Við erum eina stofnun sinnar tegundar. Þeir gætu fengið námskeið, innlend og alþjóðleg leyfi en, mikilvægast, þeir geta verið hluti af sögunni með því að leyfa íþróttamönnum í viðkomandi löndum að taka þátt í okkar útgáfu af Ólympíuleikunum í MMA.”
Hvað myndirðu segja þeim?
TY: “Þú ert ekki einn. Hér er það að vera hluti af teymi með hæfu einstaklingum sem opnar dyr. Vald kemur í raun í tölum.”

Fólk heldur áfram að spyrja: hvers vegna ættum við að nota SportID og SportData. Getur þú
endurtaka hvers vegna það er svo nauðsynlegt?

TY: “Ég skal hafa það stutt. Ástæða númer eitt – næg ástæða – er að forðast að fyrirtæki í einkaeigu hafi hlutdrægt eftirlit með því hver og hvernig þau hlaða inn upplýsingum.”

CHAMPIONS’ Tilvitnanir ATH
2015 WMMAA Bantamweight Champion Bakhachali Bakhachali:
“Það var dásamlegur reynsla. Þú veist að það væri langur vegur. Ég er svo fegin að það er búið og ég var vel í því að ná öllum þeim markmiðum sem ég hafði sett. Endanleg Baráttan var mjög erfitt, Andstæðingurinn minn var alvarleg próf fyrir mig. Hann er líkamlega sterkur og ákveðinn. En takk Guð ég fékk sigur.
“Næsta skref er auðvitað rússneska MMA SuperCup. Ég vona að Guð mun hjálpa mér að vinna það.
Mig langar til að segja þakka þér að þjálfarar mínum: Rasul Magomed-Aliev, Abdulla Gaidarbekov. Þökk sé Shamil Alibatyrov sem var beygjum mig út um allt úrslita og hjálpaði mér mikið.”

2015 WMMAA Featherweight Champion Magomed Yunusilau:
“Extreme hamingja. Fyrst af öllu, Ég var ekki viss um að ég vildi vera fær til að taka þátt vegna meiðsla, en þjálfarar mínir, vinir og fjölskylda hjálpuðu mér safna líkamlega og andlega. Ég flaug til Prag og fékk bestu mögulegu niðurstöðu.
“Ég hafði fjögur slagsmál. Sá fyrsti (1/8) fór fjarlægð. Andstæðingurinn minn, frá Kólumbíu, var í raun ákvarðað, hann vildi ekki gefa upp. Það var harður-fought orrusta. Í öðrum slagsmálum mínum ég kláraði öll þrjú andstæðinga.
“First, Ég þarf að lækna meiðsli mín; það er framlenging tími. Ég tek pásu í fyrsta eftir-World Championship viku og svo skal ég leggja áherslu á heilsu mína. Ég hef vandamál með bakið og eitt hné. Og svo, Guð blessi, Ég næ aftur í viðskipti innan 2-3 mánuðum. Ég ætla að flytja til atvinnu MMA samkeppni. Við höfum mikla þjálfara og lið sem er mjög hæfur og fær til að auðvelda umskipti mínu. Ég er viss um að ég ætla að vera í lagi.”

2015 WMMAA Léttur Champion Gadzhi Rabadanov:
“Ég er mjög ánægð. Það er svo góð tilfinning að gera vinir þínir og fjölskylda hamingjusamur. Ég er virkilega þakklát fyrir alla stuðning sem ég fékk frá þeim.
“Ég átti fjögur átök í alls og ég kláraði alla andstæðinga mína. Ég get ekki sagt hver einn var erfiðara, framan mig allir voru alveg góður í eigin rétti sínum.
“Ef ég lít til baka, Ég hef haft fimm fullt æfingabúðir á þessu ári. Nú, það er kominn tími til a brot frá keppni. Ég þarf að lækna sár mín, hvíld og síðan aftur sem annar bardagamaður. There is enough room for improvement. I know I had one more fight planned at the Russian MMA SuperCup in December but I’ll have to cancel it because of my knee injury. Þar að auki er það frekar erfitt að gera þyngd tvisvar innan 10 daga ramma. Það væri á kostnað heilsu mína við þessar aðstæður. Sorry, Allir sem voru að vonast til að horfa á mig berjast í Chelyabinsk (Rússland –wmmaa.org) koma 5. des.”

2015 WMMAA welterweight meistari Gadzhimurad Khiramagomedov:
“Ég get ekki lýst tilfinningum mínum núna. Það hefur verið langur vegur. Tveimur árum síðan, ég og bróðir minn, (Gamzat Khiramagomedov – wmmaa.org) setja markið okkar á World Championship. Og hér erum við – bæði meistarar. Ég er svo glaður.
“Ég þarf virkilega að gera líkama minn áður en að skipuleggja neitt annað. Hönd mín og fótur brotna. Einn ligament er rifið á vinstri fótinn minn. Ég þarf tíma til að lækna og þá munum við sjá.”
2015 WMMAA Middleweight Champion Gamzat Khiramagomedov:
“Þessi reynsla er best. Eftir alla vinnu sem ég hafði gert það er kominn tími til að grípa andann í smá stund. Enn, Ég ætla ekki að fara að slaka á laurels mínum. Ég er með baráttuna áætlunarflug á Supercup gegn Gamazan Gamzatov. Eftir þeirri baráttu ég vera fær um að hvíla venjulega.
“Á Heimsmeistaramótinu ég hafði fjögur lota. Mat andstæðinga mína, Ég get sagt að þeir voru allir góðir bardagamenn. Erfiðasta barátta sem ég hafði var gegn kappi frá Georgíu. Hann vildi ekki gefa upp; mjög öflug og góð wrestler. Ég meiddist vinstri handlegg minn það er hvers vegna ég gat ekki sýnt mitt besta í úrslitum. Hins, Ég er svo ánægð að ég gerði mitt fólk brosa, sérstaklega bróðir minn, Gadzhimurad, sem leggur mikla vinnu í að hjálpa mér. Hann er alltaf hamingjusamari en þegar ég vinna. Hann er stærsti aðdáandi minn.”

2015 WMMA Light Heavyweight Champion Magomed Ankalaev:
Tilfinningar mínar eru bestu mögulegu. Gull í þessum áhugamaður MMA World Championship hafði verið skotmark mitt í langan tíma.
“Ég hafði fimm átök og sá síðasti þeirra var erfiðast fyrir mig. Ég fann mikla ábyrgð vegna þess að það var allt mér hvort rússneska fáninn væri að fljúga að mikil. Guði sé lof, ÉG var fær til að ná sem.
“Ég ætla að taka þátt í rússnesku MMA Supercup. Eftir það, Ég tek hvíld sem, Ég tel, Ég hef alveg skilið.”

2015 WMMA Heavyweight Champion Zaur Gadzhibabaev:
“A einhver fjöldi var í húfi í úrslitum síðan andstæðingurinn minn, Mokhmad Sulimanov, vildi hefna tap hans frá síðasta ári WMMAA World Championship. Ég er glöð að ég ríkti aftur.
I’m honored to be the first two-time WMMAA champion. The competitors in my division were outstanding this year. I trained very hard to give my best and I’m very happy with my performances during the tournament.
