Here is what Dan Miller’s Team New Jersey fighters had to say as they prepare to take on head coach Daniel Gracie’s Team Pennsylvania:

 

CLAUDIO LEDESMA

Weight Class: משקל זבוב

עיר הולדתו: West Orange, ניו ג'רזי

 

Why do you fight?

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.

 

Do you have a favorite fighter or someone you try to emulate?

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.

 

What is your fighting background and style?

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.

 

Why is MMA Pro League the right fit for you?

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

Weight Class: 130-pound Catchweight

עיר הולדתו: Clifton, ניו ג'רזי

 

Why do you fight?

I fight because it’s in my blood. I was born to fight and that’s what I do best.

 

Do you have a favorite fighter or someone you try to emulate?

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.

 

What is your fighting background and style?

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.

 

Why is MMA Pro League the right fit for you?

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

Weight Class: במשקל כבד

עיר הולדתו: ניוארק, ניו ג'רזי

Why do you fight?

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.

 

Do you have a favorite fighter or someone you try to emulate?

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 ‘GSPthen 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.

 

What is your fighting background and style?

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.

 

Why is MMA Pro League the right fit for you?

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.

 

MARK KOLKER

Weight Class: Welterweight

עיר הולדתו: Mobile, AL

 

Why do you fight?

I like to fight because fighting is one of the few things in life I’m truly passionate about and gives me purpose. Also fighting provides the opportunity for a better life.

 

Do you have a favorite fighter or someone you try to emulate?

I don’t really emulate any one fighter. I try to pick up as much as I can from different fighters and coaches and mix them into my game.

 

What is your fighting background and style?

I am a mixed martial artist and have been fighting as an amateur and professional for four years now.

 

Why is MMA Pro League the right fit for you?

I am excited to fight for MMA Pro League because it is a well-run organization, and the opportunity to fight on their first show in Atlantic City seems like a great opportunity.

 

What is your favorite thing about New Jersey?

I am not from New Jersey although I train there. I am representing Mobile, אלבמה. My favorite thing about Mobile is that on the coast we are a family, and we are eager to show the talent we have on the Gulf Coast.

 

SHAN CELIA

Weight Class: משקל נוצה

עיר הולדתו: Wayne, ניו ג'רזי

 

Why do you fight?

I fight for many reasons. I have a lot of passion for this sport and am looking to become the best.

 

Do you have a favorite fighter or someone you try to emulate?

My favorite fighter other than myself would have to be Muhammad Ali because of the impact he had around the world. I wish to do the same one day, in my own way. I watch many fighters and am always studying combat, taking techniques from all the greats in all combat sports.

 

What is your fighting background and style?

I started in full on MMA, not one specific background.

 

Why is MMA Pro League the right fit for you?

MMA Pro League is the right fit for me because they are professionals and take it seriously just like me.

 

What is your favorite thing about New Jersey?

My favorite thing about New Jersey is most people from here are blue collar, hard-working people, and it pushes me to chase my dreams.

 

FRANCISCO MUNIZ

Weight Class: 140-pound Catchweight

עיר הולדתו: Caguas, פורטו ריקו

 

Why do you fight?

Because I have a huge chip on my shoulder.

 

Do you have a favorite fighter or someone you try to emulate?

I don’t have a favorite fighter, I just try to be me.

 

What is your fighting background and style?

Brazilian jiu jitsu is my style.

 

Why is MMA Pro League the right fit for you?

Because they’re giving me a shot that I’m worthy of.

 

What is your favorite thing about New Jersey?

It’s close to so many great things, like New York.

 

GABRIEL RUIZ

Weight Class: Bantamweight

עיר הולדתו: Woodland Park, ניו ג'רזי

 

Why do you fight?

I fight because I love to compete and the rush of going out there to the cage and being the best man of the night.

 

Do you have a favorite fighter or someone you try to emulate?

My favorite fighter is Rich Franklin. I kind of got my style from him. I just go out and fight and put my heart out there.

 

What is your fighting background and style?

I have an all-around background, but I love to stand up. I feel comfortable anywhere though.

 

Why is MMA Pro League the right fit for you?

MMA Pro League is the right fit for me because we are taken care of and it has a lot of benefits that people are going to see both immediately and over time.

 

What is your favorite thing about New Jersey?

My favorite thing in New Jersey is the people. We’re Jersey strong. כמו כן, the food is great here.

 

MIKE PAGANO

Weight Class: משקל נוצה

עיר הולדתו: Stanhope, ניו ג'רזי

 

Why do you fight?

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. כמו כן, 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.

 

Do you have a favorite fighter or someone you try to emulate?

My favorite fighter, or fighters if I could merge them together, would have to be Georges St-Pierre, דומיניק קרוז, 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.

 

What is your fighting background and style?

I`m a wrestler, boxer and black belt in jiu jitsu under SeanShorty RockSantella.

 

Why is MMA Pro League the right fit for you?

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!”

 

JUSTIN OSBORN

Weight Class: קל

עיר הולדתו: Mobile, AL

 

Why do you fight?

It’s what I love to do. This is what comes naturally to me. I was born to fight, plain and simple.

 

Do you have a favorite fighter or someone you try to emulate?

I’m trying to emulate the best Justin Osborn possible.

 

What is your fighting background and style?

Wrestling is my style.

 

Why is MMA Pro League the right fit for you?

They are giving me a cage to fight in and an opponent to fight. I’m here to fight my heart out and they are giving me a platform to do so.

 

What is your favorite thing about New Jersey?

I’ve never been on the East Coast before, so I’m looking forward to experiencing it.

סנט פטרסבורג, רוסיה (ספטמבר 5, 2018) – Fighting in the UFC is a dream come true for undefeated M-1 Challenge middleweight champion ארטם פרולוב (11-0-0, M-1: 8-0-0), who will make his UFC debut September 15, fighting on the UFC מוסקבה card at Olympic Stadium in Moscow.

 

 

 

Frolov recently agreed on short notice (2 שבועות) to replace injured Omari Ashkedov against veteran American fighter C.B. “דוברמן” Dollaway (17-8-0).

 

 

 

Fighting at home in Russia, the 26-year-old Frolov won his M-1 Challenge title belt last October, when he took a unanimous decision from קאיו מגלהיס בM-1 אתגר 84. This past June at אתגר M-1 93, Frolov made his first and lone title defense to date against ג'ו ריגס, who suffered a knee injury that led to a doctor’s stoppage in the second round.

 

 

 

אתמול, Frolov sat down for a one-on-one interview:

 

How long have you working on a deal to sign with UFC?

 

 

 

AF: “My manager has been working on signing me with the UFC for a while, but until the last few days, we had no solid agreement. A few days ago, they finally offered me a contract and asked to step in to replace an injured fighter at UFC Moscow.

 

 

 

I thought it over and decided it was a great opportunity to join the UFC, which I did not want to miss. I would not say this contract was a surprise for me, people have been working on it, so I was ready.

 

How does it feel to sign with UFC?

 

 

 

AF: “I’m excited to sign with the best promotion in the world, but I know that my debut fight won’t be easy, I’m stepping in on a short notice just two weeks before the show. I was going to defend my belt in M-1 Global in a couple months, so now I need to cut weight fast. The most difficult thing is not just to cut weight, but afterwards to recover well. In the UFC, IVs are banned and you have to be extremely careful with supplements you take to recover.

What shape are you in for this fight considering only two-week’s notice?

 

 

 

AF: “I was preparing for a fight in M-1 Global, so I’m in good shape. We are going to work on my speed now but first, I have to cut weight. Once in my career I took a fight on a short notice, I had three weeks to prepare and I won that fight by TKO in the second round.

 

What do you know about your opponent, C.B. Dollaway?

 

 

 

AF: “I’ve seen a couple of C.B. Dollaway’s UFC fights, but I have never considered him as my opponent, so did not pay too much attention to him. There are many good fighters in the UFC, so I can’t say that I know a lot about my opponent. We don’t have not enough time to concentrate on him, so we’ll concentrate on me.

 

When do you feel you can challenge the top UFC fighters in your weight class?

 

 

 

AF: “I’m not going to demand huge fights with the top opponents in the UFC. I’ll take my time and be ready to fight any opponent they’ll give me. I need time to get used to new conditions, tune up my preparation, and put in order the whole system and then I will be ready for any challenges.

 

 

 

Everything is in our hands; nothing is impossible. If someone wants something badly, sets a goal and works hard to achieve it, he or she will succeed. I’m just a regular guy who had a dream to fight in the UFC and I made it. Dream big, set goals and achieve them!”

סנט פטרסבורג, רוסיה (ספטמבר 4, 2018) — Undefeated M-1 Challenge middleweight champion ארטם פרולוב will make his UFC debut, stepping in on short notice to replace injured Omari Ashkedov against battle-tested C.B. “דוברמן” Dollaway, ספטמבר 15 ב UFC מוסקבה card at Olympic Stadium in Moscow.

 

 

 

I am very happy for Artem,” נשיא M-1 Global ואדים Finkelchtein אמר, “but a little bit nervous because he accepted the fight on such a short notice, only two weeks before the fitht. I’m sure he will demonstrate his high level once again. I said it before that Artem is the second strongest middleweight in Russia, after Alexander Shlemenko, and he deserves this shot. Some may know that Artem was going to fight Bruno Blindado Silva, who defeated Shlemenko, and I’m happy to say that this fight will happen this fall.

 

 

 

The 26-year-old Frolov (11-0-0, M-1: 8-0-0), fighting at home out of Russia, captured his M-1 Challenge title belt last October, when he won a unanimous decision against Caio Magalhaes at M-1 Challenge 84. This past June at M-1 Challenge 93, Frolov made his first title defense versus Joe Riggs, who suffered a knee injury that led to a doctor’s stoppage in the second round.

 

 

 

A solid all-around fighter, Frolov has won 5 fights by stoppage, along with four submission victories and two by decision.

CALEB HALL TAKES NO SHORTCUTS IN MIXED-MARTIAL-ARTS CAREER

בנגור, מיין (ספטמבר 3, 2018) – There’s no evidence that Easy Street exists in the world of professional mixed-martial-arts.

 

 

 

If it did, it’s safe to say Caleb Hall wouldn’t be able to find it, even if he were furnished the most precise global positioning system and the unlimited kindness of strangers.

 

 

 

Hall is wired to fight hard, fight often, and fight against the best available competition to give himself an accurate barometer of where he stands in the sport.

 

 

 

That won’t change this Saturday, ספטמבר 8ה, when he takes on C.J. Ewer in a lightweight bout at New England Fights 35: “Wicked Season.” The card will take place at Cross Insurance Center in Bangor with an opening bell time of 7 p.m.

 

 

 

אולם, 24, a multi-time state champion wrestler during his career at Dirigo High School, isn’t bothered that he’ll be taking on a hometown hero who has been a titleholder for the regional promotion. It seems he subscribes to pro wrestling legend Ric Flair’s mantra: To be the man, you’ve got to beat the man.

 

 

 

“Whoever they offer and put in front of me is who I’m going to take on,” Hall said. “It doesn’t matter to me. It’s a big fight and it’s in his hometown. That definitely makes it more interesting.”

 

 

 

The fight is a natural pairing for two of Maine’s top pros. Each is eager to get back into the NEF hexagon, for opposite reasons, after their results earlier this year.

 

 

 

Hall handled John Ortolani, a wily veteran with main-event experience on his 20-fight ledger, in an impressive April pro debut. His game well developed from a double-digit total of amateur scraps, Hall earned a submission via the rarity of a Von Flue choke at 2:16 של סיבוב הפתיחה.

 

 

 

Two months earlier, Ewer sustained his first loss in the pro cage by kneebar against Kemran Lachinov. He’s tough on home turf, עם זאת, as evidenced by a stoppage of Rumford’s Mike Hansen last summer.

 

 

 

“We have similar styles and similar games,” Hall said, “I try not to think about my opponent too much and just try to fight my fight. He’s a tough matchup no matter who he’s in there against.”

 

 

 

Since making his debut only a month after he crossed the legal age threshold of 18, Hall has carved out a reputation as a relentless, crowd-pleasing competitor who isn’t picky about his opponents.

 

 

 

That’s made life easier for NEF co-owner and matchmaker Matt Peterson, who can always count on Hall being ready for prime time near the top of the bill.

 

 

 

“Caleb reminds me a lot of Devin Powell, our former lightweight champion. Devin most recently won in the UFC, the largest fight promotion on the planet,” Peterson said. “Devin got to where he is through good, old-fashioned diligence – desire, מסירות, discipline and hard work. Caleb’s approach mirrors Devin’s. He’s not looking for the easy path to get where he wants to go.”

 

 

 

Everything else about Hall’s progression in the sport has been measured conservatively.

He toiled in the amateur ranks for more than five years, wanting to make sure that his acumen was developed and his repertoire well-balanced.

 

 

 

“I think I’m pretty well-rounded in every area,” Hall said, “My wrestling is still probably the strongest part of my game, but everything else is starting to catch up, like my submissions and my striking.”

 

 

 

Hall never budged from his amateur weight of 145 until moving up to 155 – historically NEF’s deepest and toughest pro division – for his shot at Ortolani.

 

 

 

He and Ewer are now jockeying for position in a class that provided great success for the likes of Powell, ברוס Boyington, ריאן סנדרס, Jon Lemke and Jesse Erickson. Advancing to that fray would have been foolhardy if Hall hadn’t done things the right way physically and nutritionally.

 

 

 

“For me it’s been more about training and putting it on the right way. It wasn’t as hard as I thought it would be. I could still make 145, but this is a lot better for my body,” Hall said. “I was in the same weight class from the time I entered the sport when I was 18. It was a lot of weight cuts, but I was coming right out of high school wrestling where that was all part of it.”

 

 

 

When he fought at 145, Hall said his day-to-day weight when not in training was just shy of 170 קילו. He can now comfortably carry 175 ל 180 between bouts. Less last-minute dehydration is necessary to reach the lightweight limit.

 

 

 

“He’s on the treadmill every day. He’s logging his training hours with commitment and focus,” Peterson said. “He’s living the lifestyle. It’s guys like Caleb that really get me excited about the sport, because they show us the best stuff that human beings are made of, and they give us a glimpse of what we’re capable of as people. If Caleb Hall hits the heights that he’s set for himself – and I’m confident that he will get there – it will be because he earned it the entire way.”

 

 

 

Hall appreciates the perception that his fight with Ewer is a big one in the NEF title picture and beyond, but as always he is eager to steer clear of the hype.

 

 

 

“I had a lot of confidence going in (against Ortolani), and that hasn’t changed,” Hall said. “I see every fight as your biggest fight, בכל מקרה. That’s just how I try to approach it. This sport has a small window.”

 

 

 

Three five-minute rounds aren’t much time in the grand scheme, או, although it’s a grueling grind when two action fighters such as Hall and Ewer are going at it.

 

 

 

Despite their first-round finishes last time around, Hall won’t be surprised to see this one venture closer to the advertised distance.

 

 

 

“We’ll see what happens. I don’t go in there thinking I’m going to take him out,” Hall said. “I expect it to be a war. It’ll probably go deep into the second and third rounds, and we’ll see who swims.”

 

 

 

האירוע הבא מעורב אמנויות לחימה של NEF, “NEF 35: Wicked Season,” will see the company make its return to the Cross Insurance Center in Bangor, מיין. The event is scheduled to take place this Saturday, ספטמבר 8, 2018 עם שעת פעמון של 7 pm. כרטיסים במכירה כעת ב www.CrossInsuranceCenter.com.

Mazo (5-0) is the 21-year-old LFA women’s flyweight champion that took the MMA world by storm in 2017. The Colombian wunderkind signed with LFA when she was 19-years-old and quickly burst onto the global scene at LFA 9. This happened when she knocked out 82nd Airborne Army veteran Jamie Thorton with a jaw-dropping head kick that went viral on mainstream media and MMA media outlets alike. The Kings MMA product doubled-down in her sophomore appearance for LFA by knocking out Minnesota National Guard member Linsey Williams with a nearly identical first round head kick at LFA 23. The “Colombian Queenfinally received her crown this past April. The title winning performance came courtesy of a unanimous decision over Shannon Sinn at LFA 37, which saw Mazo provide a brilliant display boxing and clinch work, as well as her signature Muay Thai skills. The Medellín, Colombia native now looks to begin her reign as champion with another masterful performance at LFA 51.

 

 

 

Nievera (7-4) earned her shot at LFA gold this past June with a dominant LFA debut win against the 2016 RFA FansChoice Awards “סיכוי של השנה” winner Katy Collins. The unanimous decision win came in Collinshometown of Branson, Missouri at LFA 42 just a few months after Collins had been ranked #4 on AXS TV’s inaugural women’s pound-for-pound rankings. The win immediately caught the attention of UFC matchmakers and Nievera was offered a main event spot on Dana White’s Tuesday Night Contender Series against Antonina Shevchenko. The 33-year-old Bellator veteran showed her gameness by accepting the fight on a week’s notice against Shevchenko, who is an undefeated MMA prospect, Muay Thai world champion, and the older sister of UFC #1 contender Valentina Shevchenko. Nievera displayed a ton of heart and skill, but did not get the result she wanted. The Union City, California native now has a chance to flip the script with a title winning performance in front of her home crowd at LFA 51.
