Contender Series 2021 Week 1

Contender Series 2021 Week 1

I’ve been away for a little bit. Pandemic stuff, btw we’re still in the Pandemic, I posted a little while back that we were getting out of it. The Delta variant dragged us back in for a little bit.

I think this was a solid opening card for week one of DWCS. The 1st loser picked up a contract, and I thought all the fights were fun

Guys that got contracts on this show were: AJ Fletcher, Victor Altamirano, Carlos Candelario, Joanderson Brito, Azamat Murzakanov. – That’s 5 contracts and 4 fights read more

I trashed the LFA for their last show and now I have to congratulate them for LFA 100. It was a fun night of of fights. The Commentary was FANTASTIC. Michael Chiesa is the man for the job, I want to hear him call fights full time. I just think he meshed well with Ron Kruck, and the two person booth is all the LFA should ever use

Victor Altamirano beat Nate Smith to win the LFA Flyweight title at LFA 100

Main Event

Round 1

Best in Texas 2020

Best in Texas 2020

We’ve had a rough year for MMA in 2020. There are so many fighters that missed out on their development this year and I’m pretty sure a lot of fighters had to quit MMA, because of the pandemic, but hopefully a lot of real fighters still have that spark and continue to train and get better. Some people say that you should never have a plan B. – 😅 I’m an advocate for plan Bs, and plan Cs and plan Qs, because you never know what life’s gonna throw at you, There is a vaccine now, and I’ve heard that its effective, so hopefully in 2021 we can all put this 2020 madness behind us. I dont know how the vaccine will work, but I’m hopeful. Just hopeful. read more

It seems like Kansas loves MMA and MMA loves Kanas. The LFA was Parked in Park City Kansas for LFA 95. It was a fun card. LFA is known for its good match making, and just for being an organization that spots talent. The big thing on this fight card was was the Kickboxing powerhouse Alex Pereira. There were a few fights on this card that were cancelled, but we got to keep some gems

Main Event

Thomas Powell vs Alex Pereira – Middleweight

Round 1

Pereira nails Powell with a body kick and beats him up on the ground for a while. Powell clinches. They separate Powell throws a right highkick and a left hook behind it, the left hook puts Powell in dreamland. It was actually very scary, because Powell was down for a very long time. 🚩Pereira wins by KO read more

So, I was thinking about heading to The Bomb Factory to watch some of these fights, but I’m glad I did not. I wasn’t stirred. The Judges were bad, but the Mixed Martial Arts was good.

Texas, Oh Texas, why are you so beautiful, yet so damn frustrating. I really think the Judges gave the fights to the favorites on the card. I dont think that they actually know what they’re looking at. Its complete garbage

Main Event

Damon Jackson vs Mauro Chaulet – Featherweight

Round 1

Jackson rocks Chaulet of the feet. Takes the back and finishes by RNC. 🚩Jackson wins by submission. read more

Best in Texas 2019

Best in Texas 2019

So, I’ve seen a lot of fights in 2019. Ofcourse I havent seen everyone, but, I’ll go with the stuff I know. So here are my top 5 rankings, in weight divisions in Texas. Ofcourse, guys in larger organizations are excluded

Women

  • Desiree Yanez
  • Vanessa Demopoulos
  • Courtney King
  • Hailey Cowan
  • Audrey Wolfe

Women have a tough time in the fight game in general. They may need to travel to get fights, They may need to move up and down in weight classes, and sometimes life just gets in the way. A lot of good female fighters in Texas never really move on from the Amateur scene. Id really like to put Sam Hughes on this list. She’s fought in Texas a couple of times, but she really is from the PNW. She’d be number 1 or 2 on this list. Demopoulos fights out of California, but she’s had several fights in Texas read more

What was unBROKEN in 2019?

What was unBROKEN in 2019?

Jan. 12 At XKO 44. The Hooters girls were unbroken – I’m not really a horn-dog per se, but for some reason those Hooters girls at the show did something for me. Also The rap music mixed with Tejano was unbroken. – It was more of rap music mashed up with Tejano, I’ve never heard that before, and I was impressed.

Jan 18. At LFA 57 Taylor Johnson was unbroken – The man ran through Aaron Chambers. I was also a little surprised that he was stopped by Jiu Jitsu ace Andre Muniz on the Contender Series. Sometimes they let too savages fight each other on that show read more

LFA 62: Blog and prelim results

A Blog Post.

So, this is my first LIVE event. Yes, I’ve never been to a live MMA event, and this is my first one. I feel like I’ve been watching MMA forever though. I watch boxing, I watch Muay Thai once in a while, I watch grappling competitions when I can, but I’ve never been to a live MMA event.

I went to Dallas to check out LFA 62. The venue was The Bomb factory, located in Deep Ellum close to all the bars and night clubs on a Friday night. After about 9 p.m. Traffic gets Jacked. read more
