FROM THE SHORES OF SEBAGO LAKE TO THE MMA CAGE, HARD-WORK IS A WAY OF LIFE FOR KAM ARNOLD

Lewiston, Maine (Gennaio 16, 2018) – Kam Arnold might be the ultimate Maine mixed martial artist from central casting.

 

 

Blue-collar sensibilities shaped his young life. He grew up in a small community where young boys often had to conjure up their own forms of entertainment. And yes, sometimes that meant fighting solely for the sake of fighting.

 

 

“I have two older brothers, and friends who were around all the time that are like brothers. We pretty much adopted them, sai?” Arnold said. “And any time you have that situation, there are fights going on in the yard all the time. I remember one time seeing my brothers rolling around on the stairs in the house, and of course I just had to jump in and get involved in that.”

 

 

Arnold, che si trasforma 25 this month, is more structured but no less passionate today about exercising his grit, guile and strength in such physical encounters.

 

 

Veteran of one, quick knockout win in the New England Fights cage, Arnold returns for another dose on Sabato, Febbraio 3 at Androscoggin Bank Colisee. He will confront Kyle Kenney in an amateur bantamweight bout at “NEF 32: Eccellente Sabato."

 

 

Fighting under the Central Maine Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu (CMBJJ) umbrella, Arnold made a dramatic first impression, dispatching Glenn Kasabian in 1 minute, 54 secondi.

 

 

“Glenn’s a tough dude. E 'un guerriero. He’s a great guy outside the cage. Ho molto rispetto per lui. He wanted to stand up with me. It’s one of things where I just flipped the switch,” Arnold recalled. “He’s pretty rangy, pretty tall. I went in there wanting to let him know he was in for a battle, and fortunately it turned out in my favor. I was the better fighter that night.”

 

 

Arnold admittedly was disappointed that the result wasn’t enough to earn the 2017 “NEF Rookie of the Year” premio. He vows not to leave any doubt about his potential in the local hexagon when he takes on Kenney, an opponent about whom he knows precious little.

 

 

"Sì, I was pretty bummed, but I know everybody else busts their ass just like I do,” Arnold said. “I have high expectations for myself, and I want to make a statement with this fight.”

 

 

A native of Casco, on the shores of Maine’s Sebago Lake, Arnold describes a hard-knocks upbringing that clashed with the bucolic, tourist-trap surroundings.

 

Arnold’s family had close ties to a motorcycle club, although he is reluctant to discuss its impact on his life other than to agree that it enhanced his fighting spirit.

 

 

“They’re all genuine people. I will say that. I have an awful lot of people supporting me in this. I would be nothing without them. My father and mother are the two toughest people I know,” Arnold said. “As a kid growing up, I had to be tough. That’s just the way it was. I just come from a blue-collar family. I don’t really want to get into all the details of it, but I just had to be tough. It made me what I am today.”

 

 

In addition to grappling with his older siblings and their friends, Arnold unfortunately was a victim of circumstances that are all too prominent in today’s schoolyards and playgrounds.

 

 

“I was a very small kid for my age,” he explained. “I got bullied a lot in school and had to find a way to manage that. Sfortunatamente, I got into a lot of fights because I had to defend myself.”

 

 

Arnold learned many of those self-defense techniques through his passion for combat sports.

 

 

He fell in love with professional wrestling, MMA, and especially boxing, although “there weren’t many options to pursue boxing in small-town Maine,” lui ha detto.

 

 

While attending Oxford Hills and Lake Region high schools, Arnold briefly took up high school wrestling. It was not until adulthood that he found his way to Lewiston’s CMBJJ, one of the hub facilities that has helped build NEF’s talent base over the past six years.

 

 

“Of course there’s a part of me that wishes I had started this earlier, quando ero 18 o 19, like a lot of guys,” said Arnold, che si trasforma 25 this month. “But I’m thankful for where I’m at now, and for Matt Peterson and NEF for giving this opportunity to show what I can do.”

 

 

Boxing and stand-up skills proved Arnold’s bread-and-butter in his debut. He hopes the Kenney fight will give him a chance to exhibit the wider array of lessons he has learned from his training partners.

 

 

Arnold credits former NEF amateur flyweight champion Dustin Veinott with the bulk of his development.

 

 

“I feel like I have the best coaching staff in the state,” Arnold said. “I haven’t really had the opportunity to travel around and cross-train, but I have so much faith in the guys at my own gym.

 

 

“Dustin Veinott has been crucial. I feel like with his knowledge I can go anywhere I want to in this sport. And when you combine that with Jesse Erickson, Travis Wells, Matt Denning, the sky is the limit. They’ve put their belief in me, and I want to show them I’ve earned it.”

 

 

When asked for a prediction about the February fight, Arnold somewhat channeled Clubber Lang’s reply of “pain” from Rocky III.

 

 

“Look for some blood,” Arnold said. “It’s coming. I can’t wait to put on a show.”

 

 

The opening bell Febbraio 3 è fissato per 7 p.m. I biglietti sono disponibili presso www.TheColisee.com or by calling the box office at207.783.2009 ext. 525.

Le tensioni in corso ad alta qualità di ex compagni di squadra Falcons Preparati per MMA Cage Battaglia

Lewiston, Maine (Gennaio 10, 2018) – Cresciuto nella stessa comunità colletti blu e avanzando attraverso lo stesso, programma sportivo piani non significa necessariamente fare due uomini migliori amici.

 

 

 

Ex compagni di squadra Mountain High School della valle, e il futuro del New England lotte miste avversari di arti marziali, Ryan Burgess e Nate Boucher testimoniano la vecchia massima, “la familiarità genera disprezzo.”

 

 

 

Borghese, 24, e Boucher, 21, si daranno battaglia in un incontro dei pesi mosca dilettante “NEF 32: Eccellente Sabato"A Sabato, Febbraio 3. La lotta al Androscoggin Bank Colisee determinerà il numero uno nella divisione 125-pound, e guadagnare il vincitore una title shot contro il campione Justin Witham.

 

 

 

Sarà stato quasi un anno da quando Burgess, un tre volte campione del Maine alta scuola di wrestling e il passato titleholder NEF, entrato nella gabbia. Ha chiamato co-proprietario e sensale NEF Matt Peterson e specificamente richiesto la lotta Boucher.

 

 

 

Perché? Da una parte, è stata una decisione di business dopo la chiusura di Boucher, perdita di split-decisione di Witham in novembre incontro titolo.

 

 

 

“Sono stato fuori per un anno. Speravo di tornare subito indietro a una lotta per il titolo,”Ha spiegato Burgess. “Dopo la lotta di Nate con Witham, Sapevo che avrebbe voluto la rivincita immediata. Una volta che è diventato evidente che non sarebbe successo fino ad aprile, Ho chiesto se potevamo fare questa lotta nel mese di febbraio, e Nate prese.”

 

 

 

Borghese (2-2) successivamente lanciato una o due granate sociali dei media che sembravano indicare un certo livello di animosità verso il suo compagno di Falcon. E 'probabile meno personale di tattica; Burgess intuì l'opportunità di sfruttare ciò che egli vede come una delle fessure in armatura di Boucher.

 

 

 

“Nate, fin da quando era un ragazzino, ha un atteggiamento piss-poveri quando perde. Spero di umiliare lui un po 'e fare in modo che non devono preoccuparsi di ottenere questa lotta nelle mani dei giudici,”Ha detto Burgess. “Nate probabilmente avrebbe potuto essere un due- o-tre volte campione dello stato se avesse dato se stesso l'opportunità di farlo. Se ha ancora lo stesso atteggiamento che aveva allora, sta andando a finire allo stesso modo.”

 

 

 

Burgess è uno dei soli quattro campioni di stato tre volte nella storia MVHS. Casualmente, Il fratello di Boucher, Ethan, anche compiuto l'impresa.

 

 

 

Boucher, che ha già preso fuori quattro volte campione del mat Maine liceo, e il due volte finalista del New England, Geremia Barkac di Dexter durante il suo tempo nel esagono NEF, guarda e suona come un carattere diverso da quello che ha lottato dal tappeto come un adolescente.

 

 

 

Dopo aver vinto i suoi primi due combattimenti con facilità, Boucher (2-1) Non era l'unico nell'edificio che sentiva di aver fatto abbastanza per guadagnare la cintura a Portland.

 

 

 

“Ho pensato Ho controllato i primi due giri della lotta. Tutti e tre, davvero. I primi due ho praticamente avuto (Witham) soffocato fuori,”, Ha detto Boucher. “E 'finito per essere un'esperienza di apprendimento per me che non si può lasciare la lotta per i giudici. La cosa grandiosa di ranghi amatoriale è, mentre, naturalmente, mi preoccupo per il mio record, alla fine della giornata è parte del processo di apprendimento per rendere una migliore professionista.”

 

 

 

In risposta a Burgess’ raffiche su Facebook, Boucher messo in discussione il comportamento l'ex campione dopo aver vinto la fascia NEF due combattimenti nella sua carriera.

 

 

 

“Non sono molto per il discorso spazzatura. Ho appena godere lo sport. Mi piace combattere e poi basta andare a casa. Lo fa un po 'per costruire il suo ego penso,”, Ha detto Boucher. “Lasciò cadere la cintura perché stava avendo problemi a fare il peso, che è piuttosto irrispettoso, secondo me. Egli era fuori per un po ', Così ora sono davanti a lui, e lui sa che deve passare attraverso di me “.

 

 

 

Burgess ha detto che ha usato quella cassa integrazione per completare la sua formazione di università e di sviluppare le sue credenziali come assistente fisioterapista, indicando che la professione medica è più probabile che sia la sua carriera a lungo termine di MMA.

 

 

 

Mentre lui continuava suo programma di allenamento a Rumford Community Center con Berserker MMA, Burgess ha detto che era meno intenso e strutturato prima le sue perdite contro Witham e Dustin Veinott. Burgess in precedenza sconfitto entrambe le rivali.

 

 

 

“Fisicamente ho ancora dovuto li battuti, ma mentalmente non ero come preparato come avrei dovuto essere. Ora sono molto più concentrati,”Ha detto Burgess. “A quel tempo stavo finendo la scuola, a tempo parziale 20 a 30 ore a settimana e andare a scuola per probabilmente un altro 40. Ho perso due scontri in cui ero sotto il peso. Stavo aumentare di peso, mentre gli altri ragazzi stavano tagliando peso. Mi piacerebbe andare lì al limite e che avrebbero messo su 10 a 15 libbre tra il peso-in e la lotta.”

 

 

 

Boucher certamente non ha mai raggiunto il suo potenziale come un lottatore di scuola superiore. Ha seguito un percorso diverso rispetto a Burgess, iscrivendosi al Central Maine Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu - dove si allena ancora oggi - all'età 13.

 

 

 

“Ho alcune delle più dure e migliori partner formazione nello Stato,”, Ha detto Boucher. "Il mio Jiu-jitsu ha percorso una lunga strada, quasi al punto in cui si è superato il mio wrestling un po '. Naturalmente, wrestling è quello che ho sempre tornare a quando ne ho bisogno. Il mio colpisce è notte e giorno. E 'stato terribile per il mio primo combattimento.”

 

 

 

Egli ha aggiunto che il suo più grande successo in MMA è venuto a scapito degli ex lottatori.

 

 

 

Burgess conta su Boucher a sottovalutare il resto del suo repertorio. Come qualcuno che ha assunto wrestling sulla scuola media squadra varsity junior nel settimo grado, ha detto che la sua storia come uno studio rapido è riportato nel regno di jiu-jitsu e boxe.

 

 

 

“Credo che stia per essere sorpresi. Lui pensa di sapere quello che portare al tavolo,”Ha detto Burgess. “Tutto quello che sa su di me è il mio wrestling, ma ho un sacco di più per ripiegare su. So già quello che porta in tavola. E lui non ha intenzione di imparare in due mesi quello che ho imparato in due anni."

 

 

 

Campana di apertura sulla Febbraio 3 è fissato per 7 p.m. I biglietti sono disponibili presso www.TheColisee.com.

‘BIG’ JOHN MCCARTHY TO JOIN BELLATOR BROADCAST TEAM

WILL MAKE COLOR COMMENTARY DEBUT AT Bellator 192 ON JAN. 20 - LIVE ON Paramount Network

ANCHE, CHAEL SONNEN SIGNS EXTENSION TO REMAIN IN BROADCAST BOOTH

LOS ANGELES - Bellator is pleased to announce that it has come to an agreement with John McCarthy to serve as color commentator during broadcasts on the soon-to-launch Paramount Network, which kicks off with Bellator 192 su Sabato, Gennaio 20.

 

“With the addition of ‘Big’ John to our broadcast team, we have put together the premier group of MMA commentators ahead of our Jan. 20 debut on the Paramount Network,"Ha detto il presidente Bellator Scott Coker. “With John and Chael providing analysis, you’re getting two people who have spent more time in the cage than they have spent with a headset on, and that will translate to a positive viewing experience for Bellator fans.”

 

Negli ultimi 20 anni, “Big” John McCarthy has set the bar when it comes to officiating in MMA, a sport where he has overseen countless fights promoted by Bellator and other promotions all over the world, serving as the referee for some of the biggest bouts in the history of the sport. A former Los Angeles Police Officer, and a Self-Defense Instructor at the Los Angeles Police Academy, McCarthy is also the founder of “C.O.M.M.A.N.D.,” a program that trains and certifies hopeful MMA referees and judges. McCarthy’s regulatory work is equally as impressive, as he was a key figure in the writing of the sport’s Unified Rules, which are recognized by the ABC and athletic commissions all across North America.

 

Along with his broadcasting duties, the man behind the catchphrase “Let’s get it on!” will also provide a unique level of first-hand insight to the plethora of original content produced by Bellator’s digital team.

 

“I first want to say how grateful I am for the opportunity I have been given to work with the incredible team Bellator has assembled. It is always so hard to leave something you love, but I have always wanted to step away based on my terms rather than someone else’s. My goals are to work as hard as I can to meet the expectations everyone will have for me and to hopefully someday exceed them.” McCarthy said. “I cannot think of anyone I would rather be working with than Scott Coker. Scott has always been a person I admire because of his honesty, loyalty and love for the martial arts. I want to thank everyone from Bellator and Viacom for the trust you are bestowing upon me to keep the commentating of Bellator MMA at the highest levels of the sport.”

 

In aggiunta, Chael Sonnen has signed an extension to remain a part of select Bellator broadcasts, breaking down all the action alongside Bellator announcers Mike Goldberg e Mauro Ranallo.

 

Chael Sonnen spent a majority of his 44-fight career with the UFC and WEC, a run that saw him defeat former middleweight champion Michael Bisping, and compete against the likes of Jon Jones, Anderson Silva (due volte), Rashad Evans, "Shogun" Rua, Demian Maia and Brian Stann. In addition to his in-ring action, the West Linn, Ore. native has mastered the art of being in front of the camera, having done broadcast work for both ESPN and Fox Sports. Following a three-year hiatus from active MMA competition, Sonnen returned to the cage against Tito Ortiz a Bellator 170 in January and then went on to defeat Wanderlei Silva during the main event of Bellator: NYC.

 

Bellator and the soon-to-launch Paramount Network open 2018 with a bang when Bellator 192: Lima vs. MacDonald emanates from The Forum in California on Jan. 20. Anchored by a welterweight world title fight featuring Douglas Lima defending his championship against Rory MacDonald, the blockbuster event also will see the aforementioned Chael Sonnen compete against "Rampage" Jackson in the opening contest of 2018’s Bellator Heavyweight World Grand Prix.

LUNGHI è fuori per vendicare TEAMMATE CONTRO CORSON AT NEF 32

Lewiston, Maine (Gennaio 5, 2018) - Combattimenti New England (NEF) torna a Lewiston su Sabato, Febbraio 3, 2018 con prossimo evento mixed-arti marziali della lotta promozione, “NEF 32: Eccellente Sabato.” Proprio oggi, NEF announced the addition of an amateur featherweight bout to the card. Shawn Lunghi (2-0) tornerà in Maine per assumere Devin Corson (1-0) con un peso lotta di 145 libbre.

Shawn Lunghi made his debut in the NEF cage in the fall of 2016. He faced off with a much more experienced Alex Clark (4-2) that evening and impressed many with his performance. Lunghi would pick up the win with a second round submission. Il Tampa, Florida native would follow up that win with yet another victory this past spring in his home state. Later in the year, ha guadagnato il suo cintura marrone di Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu a Robson Moura Nazioni Unite (RMNU). A “NEF 32,” Lunghi cercherà di vendicare la perdita subita dal suo compagno di squadra Winston Cortez (0-1) contro Devin Corson (1-0) a “NEF 27” l'anno scorso. In aggiunta, una vittoria contro Corson avrebbe messo Lunghi in grado di lottare per il NEF MMA Amateur Featherweight titolo in un secondo momento.

“Sono incredibilmente onorato ed emozionato di essere invitati di nuovo a Lewiston a combattere per NEF,” said Lunghi. “3 febbraio si pone come una grande prova per me e per la mia preparazione come artista marziale, così come l'opportunità di combattere un grande up-and-coming combattente come Devin. Sono ansioso per l'opportunità di mostrare i miglioramenti che ho fatto nel mio gioco, nonché per vendicare la perdita di Winston a Devin.”

Devin Corson fatto il suo debutto nei primi mesi del NEF 2017 at the young age of 19. He sent the crowd into a frenzy that night, repeatedly lifting Winston Cortez up over head and slamming him time and time again on his way to a unanimous decision victory. It was one of the most memorable debuts for any fighter in the NEF cage. Corson is a product of The Outlet Mixed Martial Arts Training Center based in Dexter, Maine.

“E 'un onore essere il ritorno alla gabbia NEF,” dichiarato Corson. “Non vedo l'ora di combattere un uomo che ha la sua cintura marrone di jiu-jitsu. Sono sempre per una sfida. Sono solo felice di essere tornato.”

prossimo evento mixed-arti marziali di NEF, “NEF 32: Eccellente Sabato,” vedrà l'azienda fa il suo ritorno alla Androscoggin Bank Colisee a Lewiston, Maine. The event is scheduled to take place on Sabato, Febbraio 3, 2018. Tickets are on-sale now online atwww.TheColisee.com.

TWO MAINE MMA FAN-FAVORITES WILL SQUARE OFF AT NEF 32

Lewiston, Maine (Gennaio 4, 2018) - Combattimenti New England (NEF) torna a Lewiston suSabato, Febbraio 3, 2018 con prossimo evento mixed-arti marziali della lotta promozione, “NEF 32: Eccellente Sabato.” Proprio oggi, NEF announced the addition of a professional featherweight bout to the card. Aaron “Implacabile” Lacey (4-1) ha firmato a faccia Josh Parker (6-9) con un peso lotta di 145 libbre.

After making his professional debut in the spring of 2016, Aaron Lacey rose quickly through the ranks of the NEF featherweight division. With wins over veterans like Derek Shorey (4-9) and Taylor Trahan (8-9), the year belonged to Lacey. 2017, tuttavia, was filled with frustration. Lacey lost two scheduled opponents to injuries and had to pull out of one fight with an injury of his own. Late in the year, he took a fight in New Hampshire against Vovka Clay (8-2). Many felt Lacey was winning a close fight, but a deep cut on his head forced the doctor to stop the fight in the second round and the bout was awarded to Clay. It was the first loss of Lacey’s professional career. The product of Young’s MMA is looking to rebound from that loss and get back on track towards the major leagues of the sport beginning withNEF 32.

“I’m excited to be returning to the NEF cage,” esclamò Lacey. “Last year was not my year, but it’s over and I’m looking to start 2018 off with a bang! This fight is going to be fun and I love that I get to come home and perform in front of the NEF fans! The best ones around! I’m coming in prepared and looking for the finish!"

Josh Parker has been a mainstay of both the NEF MMA cage and boxing ring since his debut with the promotion back at “NEF I” nel mese di febbraio 2012. Since turning his focus back to MMA from boxing in late 2016, Parker has had two solid victories in Lewiston. A “NEF 26” nel mese di novembre 2016, Parker submitted Derek Shorey. La scorsa estate, a “NEF 29,Parker was again successful, this time taking a unanimous decision victory over Andre Belcarris (0-2). He will look to make it back-to-back wins for the first time in his career since 2011 when he steps into the cage against Lacey. Parker is the head of Ruthless MMA & Boxing based in Benton, Maine.

“I want to thank NEF for the opportunity, and thank Aaron for taking the fight,” Ha detto Parker. “Sono eccitato per la lotta. I missed out on the last show, so I’m itching to get back in there . Aaron has had an awesome career so far, and I’m looking forward to the challenges he presents, but I think I match-up well against him. Non perdetevi questo uno – it’s gonna be one to remember.

prossimo evento mixed-arti marziali di NEF, “NEF 32: Eccellente Sabato,” vedrà l'azienda fa il suo ritorno alla Androscoggin Bank Colisee a Lewiston, Maine. The event is scheduled to take place on Sabato, Febbraio 3, 2018. Tickets are on-sale now online atwww.TheColisee.com.

Stacy Lupo (0-1) assumerà David Hart (0-2) con un peso lotta di 155 libbre.

Stacy Lupo made his NEF cage debut in the summer of 2016, facing fellow forty-something athlete Dr. Steve Bang (1-1). Lupo and Bang went deep into the third round in a grueling, back-and-forth battle before Bang was able to finish the fight by TKO. Prior to stepping in the cage that night, Lupo, a former wrestler at Nokomis Regional High School in Newport, Maine, already had more than three decades worth of martial arts experience. He holds black belts in both Taekwondo and Shotokan karate. Lupo competed in amateur boxing and kickboxing in the 1980s and 1990s. Attualmente, he is a member of The Outlet based in Dexter, Maine and also operates Lupo’s Mid Maine Karate.

I’m very unhappy with my first showing in the MMA ring,” said Lupo. “I feel I let down my fans and my students. I’m hoping to redeem myself in this next match. I heard Mr. Hart wants a stand-up fight, and that’s what I’m hoping for too. I’d like to showcase my skills, so I look forward to February 3rd.”

Come il suo avversario, David Hart is also looking for his first victory in the MMA cage. He made his debut last summer atNEF 30in Bangor in a losing effort against Zach Faulkner (1-0).

BOYINGTON RETURNING TO NEF CAGE AFTER TWO-YEAR ABSENCE

Lewiston, Maine (Dicembre 29, 2017) - Combattimenti New England (NEF) torna a Lewiston su Sabato, Febbraio 3, 2018 con prossimo evento mixed-arti marziali della lotta promozione, “NEF 32: Eccellente Sabato.” Proprio oggi, NEF announced the addition of a professional catchweight bout to the card. Bruce “Pretty Boy” Boyington (14-11) ha firmato a faccia Taylor Trahan (7-8) con un peso di 150 lotta-libbre.

The fight will be the first for Boyington in the NEF cage since February 2016 when he successfully defended the NEF Lightweight Title against Jon Lemke (7-8). It was Boyington’s third defense of the belt since winning it in the late summer of 2014. After the Lemke defense, Boyington relinquished the championship in order to sign with the World Series of Fighting (WSOF).

While he has fought on many of the largest stages in the world over the past two years, including Madison Square Garden in New York City and halfway across the globe in Russia, Boyington is looking forward to his homecoming and the opportunity to once again fight before his many Maine fans.

“Uomo, I couldn’t possibly be more excited to get inside the NEF cage, where I have molded my career, built my fan base and learned so much about myself over the years,” Detto Boyington. “I am so hungry to entertain people that I can guarantee everyone will want to see what’s going down! I live for this, e February 3rd, there will be some of the best MMA that has ever been on display from the State of Maine, and I’m grateful and humbled by the opportunity. My opponent is a respectable guy that I believe loves to fight and I want that in there. I wish him the very best in preparation, and I thank (NEF owners) Opaco (Peterson) and Nick (DiSalvo) once again for providing me a platform.

Boyington currently owns and operates Boyington’s Taekwondo of Bangor, Maine. He also trains with Young’s MMA in the same city.

Taylor Trahan is a familiar face to NEF fans. He has competed twice for the promotion in the past. Trahan submitted Matt Denning (5-7) in the first round of their meeting atNEF 25.He returned to Maine just weeks later atNEF 26in a losing effort to Aaron Lacey (4-1). Trahan is coming off a win over Conor Barry (3-2) last month in New Hampshire. He represents Team Link of Hooksett.

M-1 Arena grand opening and M-1 Challenge 100 to highlight 21st season for M-1 Global

In January the new M-1 Arena is scheduled to open in Saint Petersburg
SAN PIETROBURGO, Russia (Dicembre 29, 2017) — The grand opening of the state-of-the-art M-1 Arena in Saint Petersburgh, in addition to the celebration of M-1 Challenge 100 later in 2018, will highlight M-1 Global’s 21st stagione.
Plans in 2018 also include more events, expansion into new countries and, come il No. 2 MMA organization in the world, to keep giving its fans world-class competition, entertaining match-ups, innovative developments and even a few surprises.
Presidente M-1 Global Vadim Finkelchtein discussed a few of these subjects (vedi sotto) prior to the holidays.
Can you tell us about the new M-1 Arena?
VF: “M-1 Arena is an absolutely unique structure seating a maximum of 3000. It is built in the form of the Colosseum, stone and wood, with an incredible dome made of glulam, which gives the place perfect acoustics. Not only can we promote sporting events, but also music concerts. M-1 Arena allows us to have even more events and realize new ideas like, per esempio, a reality show. M-1 Arena will be multifunctional but martial arts will be the main form of entertainment held there.
M-1 Challenge was more international last year in terms of showcasing more fighters from different countries like USA, Portogallo, Regno Unito, Canada, Corea Del Sud, Porcellana, etc. Do you plan to expand your fighter base even more this year and, if so, what countries are you targeting for fighters?
VF: “Generalmente, we hire fighters from countries where our events are being broadcasted. If we have new contracts with the countries from where we don’t have representative fighters, or only have a few of them, we are going to increase their number. The same for countries where we’ve held events because fans desire to see the local athletes fighting in the Rage. We give them an opportunity to see that.
With the success of female MMA stars around the world do you plan to add a female division in 2018?
VF: “One day we will probably create a female division in M-1 Global. Ora, anche se, we don’t have enough strong female fighters to do it, ancora. As soon as we are ready to make this happen, it will be done, but we don’t want to open a new division just to check the box. We want the best fighters to compete at the highest level.
M-1 Global is closing in on your 100th M-1 Challenge event. Do you plan to promote your 100th event in 2018? If so can you provide any additional information about when, dove, special plans, etc.
VF: M-1 Global has already promoted more than 200 eventi, Compreso 85 M-1 Challenges, which was created in 2008. I think that this event will happen either in Saint-Petersburg or in Moscow, but we still have a lot of time left and a dozen other events before it. We are going to take care of it a bit later.
M-1 has developed fighters who’ve moved on to the UFC and other organizations. How do you feel about that trend? Does it frustrate you that you to spend time building a fighter and then have him move on, or do you look at it as a compliment that M-1 Global develops fighters who can compete in the UFC and any other organization?
VF: “We can consider this situation from different perspectives. I’m not happy to let my best fighters go, naturalmente, ma è quello che è, and we are not ready to compete with UFC yet. Sometimes our fighters leave us. From another perspective, we are happy that our fighters who leave keep winning fights and become the top competitors in other promotions. It proves that the level of M-1 Global fighters is equal to the level of UFC fighters. The top athletes who left M-1 Global for UFC are in top positions there and other promotions don’t have such results. Other organization may make their fighters popular but, as soon as they move to UFC, they start losing and get released.
Our company is probably the second MMA promotion in the world and when some fighters move to the strongest league on the planet, they take a step forward, which I like much better than when they move to weaker promotions than M-1 Global just to make more money.
Any plans to do anything different this year than in the past, outside of the grand opening of the M-1 arena and possible 100th event?
VF: “The main difference will be that we are going to have our own home, M-1 Arena, which means we will be able to hold even more events. We’d like to have two events each month, 24 events a year. We opened our own TV channel (M1global.tv) and next year, MMA fans from former Soviet Republics will have an opportunity to watch all the fights. Using our iOS and Android App, viewers from all over the world can watch old and new fights right now, and next year we are going to make it even better. We are also going to create our own studio to produce different content, probably a new reality show with fighters from different countries.
Will you have showcase M-1 Medieval fights this coming year?
VF: “Apparently, we will have some medieval fights in 2018, but the only issue is that we have a lot of fighters under contract, so it is not easy to find a place for M-1 Medieval fights on our cards. We make knight fights in regions where they are popular, like in Ingushetia and Finland in 2017, because fans demonstrated to us that they want to see them. I hope one day we’ll have more resources for them.

Now they get to face each other in the main event of LFA 30 on their home turf in a perfect headliner to start the new year.
Tickets for LFA 30 – Millender vs. Barnes are available for purchase NOW at CageTix.com/LFA.
Mill Ends (13-3) returns home to the building where he fought and won his first seven fights. The Orange County juggernaut is looking to build off a perfect 2017 where he won three fights, including back-to-back LFA headliners. His most recent win came via highlight reel Head Kick KO in the main event of LFA 24. Millender will meet Barnes (12-2) in a long-awaited showdown between two of southern California’s finest. The welterweight stars started their careers in the southern California regional circuit, moved on to Bellator, and will finally meet in the main event of LFA 30. Barnes, like Millender, is coming off an impressive win in an LFA headliner this past August at LFA 20.
While the main event will feature a rivalry between two of the top welterweights in LFA, the co-main event will feature a rivalry between two of the LFA featherweight division’s most talented jiu-jitsu practitioners.
Fernando Padilla (10-1) put the division on notice in October, when he submitted longtime RFA vet Darrick Minner with a Triangle-Armbar in the first round of their co-main event bout at LFA 25. Padilla, who is a 10th Planet Jiu-Jitsu brown belt, has now won 90% of his fights by first round stoppage. He will now face a man equally dangerous on the ground when he meets Talison Soares (9-2) in the co-main event of LFA 30. Soares is a jiu-jitsu black belt from the famed Checkmat BJJ team who has made a name for himself competing in his native Brazil. Soares has a 100% finishing rate in the nine bouts he has won and will now make his international debut in the co-main event of LFA 30.
