CLAUDIO LEDESMA
Çəki sinfi: Flyweight
Hometown: West Orange, NJ
Niyə dava edirsən??
“I fight because I love the sport and I feel I was gifted the ability to do it competitively. So I can’t let it go to waste.”
Sevdiyiniz bir döyüşçünüz və ya təqlid etməyə çalışdığınız biri varmı??
“My favorite fighter is actually a blend of Frankie Edgar and Marlon Moraes. I look up to both of them as fighters and try to put a little piece of each of them in my game.”
Mübarizə arxa planınız və tərziniz nədir?
“I’m a jiu jitsu black belt. Jiu jitsu is what got my foot in the door but now I’m a complete fighter and don’t really favor any single style.”
Niyə MMA Pro Liqası sizin üçün uyğun bir şeydir?
“I love New Jersey. I was born and bred here. MMA Pro League allows me to represent my state!”
What is your favorite thing about New Jersey?
“It’s the diversity. Jersey is a melting pot of different cultures and backgrounds. I believe this state breeds the toughest guys around.”
TURPAL KHAMZAYEV
Çəki sinfi: 130-pound Catchweight
Hometown: Clifton, NJ
Niyə dava edirsən??
“I fight because it’s in my blood. I was born to fight and that’s what I do best.”
Sevdiyiniz bir döyüşçünüz və ya təqlid etməyə çalışdığınız biri varmı??
“Growing up as a kid I used to watch boxing, and some of the boxers I really enjoyed watching were Muhammad Ali, Mike Tyson and Prince Naseem Hamed. I also steal a little bit of everyone’s styles from different contact sports, because you can’t be a one-dimensional fighter in modern MMA.”
Mübarizə arxa planınız və tərziniz nədir?
“My fighting background is pretty much all aspects of contact sports. I’ve earned a second-degree black belt in Tae Kwon Do, I have multiple grappling titles, multiple kickboxing/Muay Thai titles and three amateur MMA titles in two different promotions and in two different weight classes.”
Niyə MMA Pro Liqası sizin üçün uyğun bir şeydir?
“MMA Pro League is the right fit for me because they are doing something new. It’s something that has not been done before, having two states compete against each other to see who wins. It is also a little different from other promotions because in other promotions you just go and fight for yourself, but in MMA Pro League you have a whole state behind you, and all the pressure is on you because you don’t want to let your team down.”
What is your favorite thing about New Jersey?
“My favorite thing about New Jersey is that we always bring the heat in any competition against anyone.”
KEVIN SEARS
Çəki sinfi: Ağır çəkilli pəhləvan
Hometown: Newark, NJ
Niyə dava edirsən??
There’s a lot of different reasons why I fight. The first reason was because I was a fan. I love the sport and entertainment, but the real reason why I fight is for my daughter and to show her you can chase your dreams and be great at something you’re passionate about.
I visited the UFC Expo at the first one they had in Las Vegas. It was a totally life-changing experience. I was just a fan of UFC and MMA, but when I went down there I knew that I was destined to be a fighter, gladiator and a badass.”
Sevdiyiniz bir döyüşçünüz və ya təqlid etməyə çalışdığınız biri varmı??
“My favorite fighter more recently was Kimbo Slice, may he rest in peace. I did have a favorite fighter growing up, and yes, it was the one and only Georges St-Pierre. If it wasn’t ‘GSP’ then it was Tito Ortiz, just some all-around badass dudes.
Nowadays I really don’t follow fighting, but if I had to say my favorite active fighter fighting now, it’s definitely Jose Aldo. I’m an old school UFC guy from back in the day. Now I just see competition.”
Mübarizə arxa planınız və tərziniz nədir?
“My fighting style is just brawl and cause damage in there. I really don’t have a style. I go in there and try to get the job done even if it’s sloppy. You could say I’m emulating Kimbo combined with a wrestler.”
Niyə MMA Pro Liqası sizin üçün uyğun bir şeydir?
“MMA Pro League is for me because it’s my next challenge and I can’t wait.”
What is your favorite thing about New Jersey?
My favorite thing about New Jersey is my Aunt Denise, my grandma and my cousin Jazz. They lived in Newark most of their lives. Those are my people.”

“I am a mixed martial artist and have been fighting as an amateur and professional for four years now.”
Niyə MMA Pro Liqası sizin üçün uyğun bir şeydir?

What is your favorite thing about New Jersey?

MIKE PAGANO
Çəki sinfi: Featherweight
Hometown: Stanhope, NJ
Niyə dava edirsən??
“I fight because when I was growing up I was picked on and bullied a lot. I had to learn how to stand up for myself. Da, later on in my youth I had to take care of my father who was very sick with brain cancer, which took his life in 2008.
Seeing my father go through his daily battles and frustrations made me realize I could overcome anything in life. My father was and will always be my hero. He was one of the toughest, stubbornest, hardest workers I had the pleasure of knowing and had the pleasure of calling my dad. Each time I step into that cage I know he`s with me.”
Sevdiyiniz bir döyüşçünüz və ya təqlid etməyə çalışdığınız biri varmı??
“My favorite fighter, or fighters if I could merge them together, would have to be Georges St-Pierre, Dominick Cruz, Mike Tyson and Buakaw Banchamek. As far as emulating their styles, each has something I like within their fighting styles or fighter I.Q., but for me I like to be my own fighter. I never want to be a paper cut out version of someone else. That`s the beautiful thing about MMA, all these different styles can mesh into one and you can create your style how you want.”
Mübarizə arxa planınız və tərziniz nədir?
“I`m a wrestler, boxer and black belt in jiu jitsu under Sean “Shorty Rock” Santella.”
Niyə MMA Pro Liqası sizin üçün uyğun bir şeydir?
“I feel MMA Pro League is the right fit for me because they are starting their own chapter in MMA and I love being a part of it! I like the concept as far as team versus team and the way you can collect points for your team by either KO/TKO, Submission, or Decision. It definitely makes a fighter want to push harder for that big win!”
What is your favorite thing about New Jersey?
“The Pizza!”
