||||||||||
|
Las Vegas, NV, (Oktober. 20, 2018) – Sometimes things in life are simply quick and painless. Most of the fights at FFC 32 dog, were actually quick and painful. Knockouts, let’s be honest, usually are quite painful.
Friday night’s Main Event was one of the only fights at FFC 32 (which was an all-MMA event) that did not end in a knockout. Shelton “Gravedigger” Graves (9-3-0) defeated Carl “Badwater” Seumanutafa (11-9-0) ved enstemmig afgørelse (49-46, 49-46, 49-46) to win the vacant FFC MMA Heavyweight Championship Title.
Graves did a great job of avoiding standing toe-to-toe with the knockout artist, Seumanutafa, spending most of the fight pressing the heavy-handed Samoan (Seumanutafa) up against the ropes and using knees to the body and a series of quick uppercuts to frustrate his opponent. Strategien arbejdet, as Seumanutafa was frustrated with the constant pressure, which allowed Graves to keep him on the ropes and against the turnbuckle, taking away any opportunity for a Seumanutafa trademark knockout.
I Co-Main Event, Undefeated Welterweight, Austin “AK-47” Vanderford (6-0-0), kept his unblemished record in tact when he rocked Emilson “The Amazonian Warrior” Freitas (7-3-0) with a nice left hand to the temple at the 1:38 mærke af runde en. Vanderford wins by KO for only the second time in his professional career.
Previously unbeaten Light Heavyweight, Ivan Erslan (6-1-0), was trying to stay undefeated as a professional but his opponent, Branko Busick (3-1-0) had other ideas. Busick sent Erslan to the canvas at the 4:41 mark of the second round with a solid left hand to the chin and it was all she wrote for Erslan. Busick picks up the first KO victory of his young career.
In the Lightweight division, as promised, it was a “grapplers paradise” for as long as it lasted… And it didn’t last very long. Brandon “Kiba” Ricetti (9-2-0) submitted Adam “Smash” Smith (11-10-0) by Arm Triangle at the 4:26 mark of the very first round. If you’re keeping score, all nine of Ricetti’s wins have come by submission.
FFC 32 took place at its permanent home, “Fight Dome”, which is located at Caesars Entertainment’s Rio Las Vegas. The event aired nationwide on CBS Sports Network.

LAS VEGAS, Nevada – LFA CEO Ed Soares announced today that the promotion will head east at the end of July with a welterweight world title fight that will headline the promotion’s first event to take place at a U.S. military facility. The live nationally televised event will be part of the 100th Anniversary celebration of Joint Base Langley-Eustis.
Den vigtigste begivenhed af LFA 46 will bring the top two welterweight prospects in the world to southeastern Virginia. The headliner will see undefeated LFA welterweight champion James Nakashima defend his title against undefeated U.S. Marine Corps Sgt. Kyle “Gunz Up” Stewart. LFA 46 – Nakashima vs. Stewart takes place Friday, July 27th at the Felker Field Hangar at Joint Base Langley-Eustis in Newport News, Virginia. The main card will be televised live and nationwide on AXS TV at 9 p.m. OG / 6 p.m. PT.
“I am excited to bring an LFA world title fight to Joint Base Langley-Eustis on July 27th,” Erklærede Soares. “James Nakashima has been one of the most formidable fighters in our promotion’s history. He will defend his title against #1 contender and U.S. Marine Corps veteran Kyle Stewart. Nakashima and Stewart train about 30 minutes from each other and this has been a fight MMA fans have been wanting to see for a long time. It will finally happen with the LFA welterweight title on the line at LFA 46. This will also be part of the 100 Year Anniversary celebration for Joint Base Langley-Eustis, and I can’t wait to show the troops what the LFA is all about!”
Billetter til LFA 46 – Nakashima vs. Stewart are available for purchase NOW at Eventbrite.com.
Nakashima (8-0) has long been regarded as a special talent. Those prodigious abilities were finally realized by the masses when he was crowned LFA welterweight champion this past fall. His wrestling pedigree, shrewd striking ability, and willingness to learn every aspect of martial arts has made him the undefeated welterweight champion that he is today. The Illinois native and University of Nebraska wrestling standout has taken the 170-pound division by storm since making his professional MMA debut for RFA in 2015. He has defeated opponents that have a staggering combined record of 54-17 with half of those wins coming against undefeated fighters. Now sitting at 8-0 with the LFA welterweight title around his waist, Nakashima is eager to get back in the cage after healing up some injuries. The John Crouch protégé, who trains at The MMA LAB in Arizona, is once again eager to test himself against the best. That next challenge will come against fellow undefeated prospect and #1 contender Kyle Stewart.
Stewart (10-0) has been on a collision course with Nakashima since making his own professional MMA debut in 2015. The U.S. Marine Corps sergeant has amassed his own undefeated record, while training with Trevor Lally at Arizona Combat Sports just 30 minutes away from Nakashima. The decorated war veteran who saw action in Afghanistan, while serving multiple tours overseas, has successfully brought his combat skills to the cage where he is considered one of the top two welterweight prospects in the world. The other would be Nakashima, the man Stewart has long had his eye on since their careers began three years ago. The reality of them finally meeting in the Octagon became even more real when Stewart won his LFA debut last year. Stewart made a final statement for a title shot when he handed fellow top prospect Jaleel Willis his first loss in the main event of LFA 33 dette tidligere februar. Next up for “Gunz Up”, Nakashima for the title, in front of his fellow soldiers and veterans at Joint Base Langley-Eustis.

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.

Som en professionel, Giyasov vil føre kampagne i weltervægt division, hvor han var en sensationel amatør standout.
I en alder 24, Giyasov der står på 5'9″, er en af de mest talentfulde boksere at indtaste de professionelle rækker i det sidste årti. Denne sidste sommer i Hamborg, Tyskland, den højrehåndet Giyasov erobrede guld (Weltervægt) ved 2017 International Boxing Association (AIBA) VM. Giyasov sejr i finalen mod Cubas roniel Kirker, den 2012 OL-guldvinder, kom til ingens overraskelse, som Usbekistan var #1 frø indtaste turnering. Shakhram blev stemt bedste bokser af turneringen af sine kolleger, vindende 56% af AIBA online meningsmåling.
“Jeg er ankommet i USA og planlægger at etablere mig selv som den næste store mester fra Usbekistan,” Said Shakhram Giyasov. “Mit mål er at erobre weltervægt division og blive en pund-for-pund mester. Jeg satte min mål højt, fordi jeg tror på mig selv og holdet jeg har lagt omkring mig. Sammen vil vi gå til toppen.”
Giyasov, der er en mega-stjerne i sit hjemland Usbekistans, ledes af Ruslan Khusinov, en international sport agent med bånd til nogle af de bedste amatør boksere i verden. Hans begrundelse for at bringe Giyasov til lysene i Las Vegas var let, at etablere sit brand i mekka af professionel boksning.
“Vi er meget venligst med vores beslutning om at bringe Shakhram Giyasov til Las Vegas,” Said Ruslan Khusinov. “Alle anerkender Las Vegas som mekka af boksning og det er her vi ønsker at opbygge vores fundament. Jeg har store planer om at gøre Giyasov en super-stjerne her i staterne, ligesom tilbage hjem, hvor hans popularitet er ubestridelig.”
Træning Giyasov, vil blive Justin Gamber, der guider hjørnet af ubesejrede verden rangeret contender, Caleb “Søde Hands” Plant (16-0, 10 KOS). Gamber mener Giyasov kan hoppe på den hurtige vej til en verden titel.
“I dagens boksespil, du har mange boksere med høj amatør stamtavle s, kæmper for en verden titel før deres 15th pro kamp,” Justin Gamber stated. “Jeg tror Giyasov passer, at skimmelsvamp. Jeg kan se ham kæmpe for en verden titel tidligt i sin karriere.”
