Contender Series 2021 Week 4

Richard

Worse week of this season IMHO

I think I understand what’s going on with the Contender Series this year. If you have a name and you’re supposed to be in the UFC already… All you have to do is win your fight, and you’re in. …If you dont have a name, and your call-up is premature, then you’ll have to win impressively
Guys that got contracts on this show were: AJ Dobson, Michael Morales, Kleydson Rodrigues, and Victor Martinez

Here are grades of the talent on the show. These grades are only based on their Contender Series performance, and not their performance before, in other organizations read more

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

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

Fury FC seems to be putting on a lot of fights. This one is “Fury FC 36”. They are traveling all over the region and just getting out there more. There is a lot of talent in South Texas, and the promotion also showcases a lot of talent from Louisiana and Colorado. Its just a little hard keeping up with the promotion, and to be honest I don’t think the talent justifies all the shows that are being put on.

Anyway, Robstown, TX

Main Event

Roger Narvaez vs Ike Villanueva – Light Heavyweight

Round 1

Narvaez throws some kicks and land some strikes, Villanueva eats them, and lands straight right after straight right to knockout Narvaez. 🚩Villanueva wins by KO read more

Fury FC 30

I like the Texas promotions because I am a Texan and, I just think that we have some of the best young MMA talent in the country. Fury FC 30 took place in San Antone, and it was a sweet lil show.

Main Card

Anthony Ivy vs. Aaron Reeves -Welterweight

Round 1

Ivy shoots in gets the clinch and eventually gets top control. Reeves is able to get to his feet and he eats some kicks for his troubles. There is a scramble and Ivy ends up on bottom. He eventually stands up and the round ends

Round 2

Ivy rocks Reeves with a right hand and then pounds him out. The ref stops it, and there is a bit of “afters” after the stoppage. 🚩 Ivy wins by TKO read more

The UFC is doing the right thing by skipping a week and allowing people to talk about the the UFC 247 card coming up. Its in Houston, and its pretty big. Any card with Jon Jones is pretty big.

Jon JonesvsDominick Reyes

I think this is a big fight for Jones. He’s coming off the Thiago Santos Split decision – I think he lost that fight – And he’s gonna want to prove that he’s still the top dog. Reyes is undefeated, and is a worthy contender. Jones’ game is always evolving, I want to see if it’s still evolving. read more

Richard

Fury FC 32 was in Humble, TX – a suburb of Houston. They had great amateurs and good pro fights. The promotion is starting to travel all around the Southwest and is gaining a lot of popularity.

Rey Trujillo vs Daniel Pineda – Featherweight

Round 1

Pineda takes Trujillo down, beats the hell out of him and rides him around the ring to get the TKO victory. 🚩Pineda wins by TKO

Pineda knew exactly what what he was doing. This was a world-class professional ground beating. Pineda easily transitioned from RNC to Arm-triangle, to hell-bows. He’s needs high level fights at high level organizations. read more

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
