Fans of the Ultimate Fighting Championship can place their bets and look forward in the near future to the scheduled bout between fighters Antonio Nogueira and Cheick Kongo at the upcoming UFC 79. The names of the two combatants have been added to a list of other mixed martial arts veterans who are expected to pit their strength against each other on the 29th of December. Brian Knapp of The Fight Network revealed this information last October 1 on Monday, and he added that whoever came out triumphant in their match would most likely go on to challenge the dominance of present UFC Heavyweight Champion Randy Couture.

Considered to be an expert of Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, Antonio Rodrigo Nogueira has often claimed victory with the use of powerful submission techniques, and he has trained together previously with the National Boxing Team of Cuba. By September 26, the website MMAWeekly.com raised Nogueira’s position in the rankings to the number two strongest heavyweight fighter in the whole world. He also holds the honor of being a former champion of the Japanese PRIDE fighting tournament, and one of his more recent UFC triumphs was earned in a bout with the fighter Heath Herring during the previous UFC 73.

On the other hand, his opponent Cheick Kongo is no pushover, either. A French kickboxer, his MMA record consists of 11 wins, three losses, and one draw. Kongo’s official UFC record also consists of four wins and one loss. His most recent victory during the UFC came in a match against Mirko “Cro Cop” Filipovic during UFC 75, where Kongo was judged the winner by a unanimous decision. The kickboxer’s one UFC career loss so far has only been during UFC 64, where he was beaten by Carmelo Marrero in a split-decision defeat. Kongo’s win at UFC 75 propelled him into a spot on the top 10 heavyweight fighter ranks.

Rules UFC

Posted by On November - 30 - 2009

The Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) is the most popular organisation promoting Mixed Martial Arts matches in the United States. It has promoted pay-per-view events since 1993.

Mixed Martial Arts (MMA) is a sport that combines different forms of combat, such as boxing, wrestling and jiu jitsu. Originally UFC events involved one-night elimination tournaments with 8 or 16 fighters from different backgrounds competing to find out which form of martial art was most effective.

Eventually UFC competitors began training specifically for MMA matches, rather than concentrating on one fighting style. UFC events no longer have tournaments; instead they have a full fight-card as in boxing, and titles are held and defended by the reigning champion.

UFC matches are scheduled for three five-minute rounds, or five five-minute rounds in title matches. The main ways to win are by knockout, submission (signalled by a fighter tapping out), or a stoppage by the referee or doctor. If the match goes to the time limit, three judges score the fight on points. Most fighting styles are allowed, but there are many holds and moves which are illegal. These include headbutting, eye gouging, biting, downward elbow strikes, and kicking or kneeing the head of an opponent who is on the floor.

UFC is owned by Zuffa LLC, headed by Las Vegas tycoons Lorenzo Ferttita and Frank Fertitta. (Zuffa means ‘fight’ in Italian.) Other staff members include UFC president Dana White, matchmaker Joe Silva and announcers Mike Goldberg and Joe Silva. UFC matches are sanctioned by several state athletic commissions, and former Las Vegas commission head Marc Ratner is now vice-president of UFC.

UFC matches are made in five weight divisions:

* Heavyweight (206-265lbs). The current champion is Tim Sylvia. Top contenders include Andrei Arlovsky, Brandon Vera and Frank Mir.
* Light-heavyweight (186-205lbs). The current champion is Chuck Liddell. Top contenders include Tito Ortiz and Forrest Griffin.
* Middleweight (171-185lbs). The current champion is Rich Franklin. Top contenders include Anderson Silva, David Loiseau and Mike Swick.
* Welterweight (156-170lb). The current champion is Matt Hughes. Top contenders include BJ Penn, George St Pierre and Diego Sanchez.
* Lightweight (146-155lb). The title is currently vacant. The top contenders are Kenny Florian and Sean Sherk.

The UFC has a hall of fame with four inductees: Royce Gracie (who won three of the first four tournaments), Ken Shamrock, Dan Severn and Randy Couture (the only man two win a title in two different weight divisions).

Much of the UFC’s recent success was spurned by The Ultimate Fighter, a reality show on Spike TV. The show involves 16 relatively-unknown fighters (eight from each of two weight divisions) living in a house and being trained by existing UFC stars, with eliminations decided by weekly fights rather than public voting. The last two fighters in each division compete on a live television special with the winner getting a UFC contract. The first season was notable for a bitter rivalry between Josh Koscheck and Chris Leben, and a brutal final between Forrest Griffin and Stephan Bonnar. The latest season has two differences: for the first time, the competition is open to former UFC competitors, and the prize is a guaranteed title shot against the relevant champion.

Since the success of The Ultimate Fighter, Spike has shown several other UFC programmes, including Ultimate Fight Night (a full fight-card), UFC: All Access (an in-depth profile of a fighter looking at his training methods) and UFC: Countdown (a preview of an upcoming pay-per-view). This has led to very strong business for UFC, including achieving a record 775,000 buys for a pay-per-view clash between Ken Shamrock and Tito Ortiz, the coaches from the third season of The Ultimate Fighter.

The Filipino Martial Arts: Eskrima, Kali, Arnis

Posted by On November - 28 - 2009

The concepts and skills taught in Eskrima are traditionally simple. Flashy techniques, with little practical battlefield use receive no attention. It is the basics, well trained and understood, that get you successfully through a fight. Experts in the arts might sometimes preform intricate techniques but only those that had survived the test of practicality. This lack of contrivance allowed many to learn the art quickly. Local families or whole villages would be trained in Eskrima to protect themselves against rival villages or foreign invaders. In spite of the simplicity, the Filipino Marital Arts take many years of dedicated practice to fully develop and master. These masters (known respectively as Eskrimadors, Kalistas, Mangangalis, or Arnisadors) were highly respected members of their communities.

Eskrima employs a wide variety of weapons in training and combat. Hardwood sticks approximately are perhaps the most iconic weapon of the arts. Measuring approximately two and a half feet long these were formidable tools. Master Vilibrao was known to choose these short staves over any other tool when engaging in death matches. Whether facing sword, daggers, spear or any combination thereof, Vilibrao would choose his baston (sticks) and won every time. This is a remarkable story and should be considered a testament to his superiority as a fighter rather than the superiority of the tool.

Training in Eskrima one learns angles, and range. These angles could be worked with any of the traditional weapons, baston, daggers, swords, staffs, or even empty hands. This versatility is the foundation of the arts effectiveness. The empty hand training is generally referred to as Panatukan and involves training in grappling, throwing pressure points and locking (Dumag) Traditional training was intense. For example warriors would train on the unstable ground of rice patties, or under huts where they had to stand in grueling deep stances just to have enough room to swing their bastons. These challenging training sessions would prepare them for upcoming battles. One piece of traditional training that is rarely found today is Hilot. A Filipino system of healing and herbal medicine.

The weapon techniques are vital but without a solid stance are all but useless. Footwork and stance training is a fundamental of Eskrima. A good stance will allow for powerful strikes and effective defensive movements. There are several stances worked in the training, some are stronger for offense or for defense and some are transitional positions for switching mode or changing rhythm. To excel in the Filipino Martial Arts it is essential to develop a deep understanding of the various stances, footwork and how to combine them to reach an advantageous position in a fight.

For many centuries, men and some women, from around the world, have learned time honored martial arts, such a tae kwon do and jiu jitsu. These sporting and fighting disciplines teach young athletes about training, concentration, force, mental power, speed, agility, balance, and many other important lessons in life!

Mma Digest

Posted by On November - 21 - 2009

The Ultimate Fighting Championship or UFC is said to be the leader in the Mixed Martial Art (MMA) form. MMA is a sport wherein the participants are permitted to use the various martial art forms known. Initially safety standards were minimal in MMA but with the UFC making the sport really popular, safety standards improved drastically. The UFC started with the aim to find out the world’s best fighter without taking into account the martial art form used.

The UFC started its journey on the 12th of November, 1993 and gained enormous fame in a very short time pushing other sports to the back seat. The popularity of the sport is almost unimaginable. The sport in its early days was quite violent, to say the least. Having received criticism from many quarters in the beginning due to its format which had no rules, the Ultimate Fighting Championship has since mellowed down the sport and then framed certain rules so as to make it a safer. The sport gets a lot of support from various quarters and is immensely popular. Its originality along with the realism is what makes it gripping and an edge of the seat event. For all the UFC enthusiasts, there are websites which give you the latest coverage of the upcoming UFC’s and also enough information about the participants. Websites offer complete insight into the forthcoming fights and also give you all that is to know about MMA and UFC. One can even purchase tickets for the fights in advance though these sites. Television channels provide coverage to this sport and more and more people are getting addicted to the same. With sufficient information about the participants and predictions about the possible winner of the bout, the sport has a large audience on television. UFC has gathered a wide audience over the years and is gaining popularity with every passing day. For those who would want to participate, the television programs cover a lot of aspects of the sport including some of the best techniques used which could help participants of the future.

With the UFC having a strong foothold in America, the organizers are looking for expanding their horizon and getting in more countries to participate. With a huge population in the age group of 18-34 years available, countries like India are most suitable for holding MMA events. The sport has almost got a cult status in countries like Japan and the United States. So thinking of expansion is the right thing to do at this stage. UFC is loved by one and all and this is can be seen with the popularity of the sport as video games. For all those who are unable to be a part of the real thing can still try a hand at it by enjoying it in the form of video games. With a lot of realism in the video game, it is as good as the real thing.

UFC has been well accepted from the very beginning and its status is only growing from strength to strength.

Rodger Hopkins reviews UFC – Ultimate Fighting Championships and MMA – Mixed martial Arts bringing Up to the second UFC, MMA, Mixed Martial Arts and Ultimate Fighting news and events .

With three local fighters winning their bouts in the first round, their trainers at USMMA based in Bellingham truly had something to be proud of.  Mike Campbell, Devin Wessinger and Kevin Corrigan each won their weight class recently at the World Championship Fighting (WCF) Fight Night competition at the Shriner’s Auditorium in Wilmington, MA.
Corrigan, fighting at 155 pounds and standing 5’11”, started off the night for USMMA in his first professional fight against Ruben Gonzalez. The bell sounded and both fighters came out strong.  After circling briefly, Corrigan closed the distance with punches drawing a lead leg kick from Gonzalez.  Corrigan caught the kick and closed on his opponent’s hip, lifting and slamming Gonzalez. The crowd reacted with a roar, Gonzalez tried for a guillotine but Corrigan mounted. From there, it only took :48 seconds for Corrigan to win with a KO in the first round.
Corrigan, a 35-year-old native of Bellingham, now lives in Franklin, MA.  He graduated from Bellingham High School in 1991 and he played baseball and hockey there.  He attended the University of Massachusetts in Dartmouth and Framingham State College. When asked about his first win, his first thought was, “Unbelievable!!” he said.  “It was the best thing that has ever happened to me.  It was a feeling that was completely different for me because I am so used to team sports.  This was something I did completely by myself,” he said.
“I have never worked so hard for anything in my life and the pay-off was worth it for me in the end,” said Corrigan. “Matt Phinney at USMMA put together a game plan for me and it worked perfectly … absolutely perfectly!  It was almost easy to win because I was so prepared.  I practiced so hard and was just ready for every move,” he added.   Corrigan said that he trained hard for 10 to 12 weeks to prepare for the fight.  He would grapple with the other fighters at USMMA one after another, so facing just one opponent in his first fight was not as nerve-wracking as he thought it would be.  “I was very calm.  I felt very prepared and at ease and I knew I had my support system there,” he said.
“USMMA is the best gym around.  Tom Hafers, Matt Phinney and Jorge Rivera, prepare fighters better than anyone.  All of the fighters know we are trained better than anyone every time we step into the ring.  They really take care of me and they have all become like a second family to me,” said Corrigan.  “We have such a team spirit at USMMA.  If I win, they win and vice versa.  You don’t want to let them down,” he said.  His next fight is September 13, 2008 in Wilmington, MA.
Wessinger, fighting at 155 pounds, and returning to fighting after a year off, was next up on the card for USMMA in a fight against Jose Lopez. The bell sounded and both circled. Lopez threw a leg kick and Wessinger pressured in with punches, backing Lopez into the ropes. Lopez clinched with Wessinger and drove forward getting the takedown into Wessinger’s guard. Wessinger started working for a triangle then transitioned into and Omaplata, a submission move. It was shortly after that Lopez tapped earning Wessinger the victory at 1:19 seconds into the first round.   His record is now 4-1.
Wessinger, a native of Whitinsville, MA, graduated from Blackstone Valley Regional Technical High School in 2003.  While there, the well-rounded athlete played football, lacrosse, basketball and some baseball and hockey.   After graduating, Wessinger began working as a machinist and truly missed the competition of sports.  He tried Mixed Martial Arts and truly enjoyed it. 
“I really missed playing sports after high school and working out at USMMA gave me a great outlet,” said Wessinger.  “The trainers there, Tom Hafers and Matt Phinney, are the best in New England.  They always have a game plan for me.  They know what will happen and what the other guys is planning to do.  It makes me a calmer and more focused fighter because they are there for me,” he said.  “In and out of the ring, I am a happier person because of my training.  I don’t feel frustrated or aggravated because I leave all of that in the ring,” he added.
Wessinger trains about 12 hours a week at USMMA.  He incorporates Brazilian Jiu-Jutsu Mai Tai and sparring.  His next fight is scheduled for September 13, 2008 at the Shriner’s Auditorium in Wilmington, MA.
The most anticipated fight of the night proved it’s worth with headliner and professional fighter Campbell vs. Rich Moskowitz and the crowd was ready for it.  The bell sounded and the fighters began to circle.  Moskowitz looked to close the distance on Campbell with kicks and punches but Campbell proved that he is too elusive.  Using superior footwork and timing, Campbell set up his openings.  Just one minute into the first round, Campbell countered with a cross that sent Moskowitz to the mat.  He rushed in to finish the fight and the referee stopped the fight at 1:28.  Campbell’s victory leaves him with a 5-0 record.
Campbell, a 25-year-old from Franklin, MA, fights in the welterweight division at 5’9”, 170 lbs.  He graduated from Coventry High School in Rhode Island.  While in high school, his dream was to play college football.  It was dream he shared with his father.  After his father passed away from a heroin overdose in 2001, Campbell put aside his football plans, as it was a passion they had always shared together. “My dad and I both loved football and we shared the passion for the game and for me playing.  When he passed away, I didn’t want to play anymore.”
Being no stranger to competition, and missing playing sports, Campbell was inspired to try power lifting.  He represented the US as a power lifter at the Power Lifting World
Championships when he was 22-years-old.  From there, Campbell found Mixed Martial Arts training at USMMA.  As a professional MMA fighter, he has built a solid career path for himself with a 5-0 record that includes 3 KO’s.  He holds a local title belt for the 170 lb. welterweight division. 
He is just getting started.  Campbell was chosen as the feature fighter on the reality show “Tap Out” on the Versus Network.  The “Tap Out” crew has been following Campbell and watching his training and fights that will be featured on an upcoming episode that documents their quest for the best up and coming Mixed Martial Arts fighters in the United States.  “It has been kind of weird having them follow me around, but I know that this will help take me to the next level in my career as a fighter,” said Campbell.  The episode will air in September. 
Campbell also trains with Hafers and Phinney at the USMMA facility in Bellingham, MA.  “They always come up with a great game plan and it always works!” he said.  “Tom and Matt are there for me 100 percent.  They have helped me to develop, not only as a fighter, but as and individual, as well,” he added. 
The United States Mixed Martial Arts Training Center, located on Hartford Avenue in Bellingham, focuses on elevating the physical and spiritual well being of students through Mixed Martial Arts and Yoga. This is accomplished through a four-pronged approach to reality self-defense training centered in total body wellness. 
The state of the art, 4,000-square foot training facility is complete with a 2,000-square foot padded MMA training floor equipped with heavy bags and conditioning equipment, a 15 hundred-square foot yoga studio, locker rooms, showers, a retail store and a juice bar.  USMMA also conducts kid’s programs including birthday parties, hip-hop classes and summer camps.  To contact USMMA, call 508-966-5006 or visit their website at www.usmma.org.

Mma Champions Win Again in Reality Fighting ..

Posted by On November - 17 - 2009

DATELINE: BELLINGHAM, FRANKLIN, MIDDLEBORO, MA, BUZZARD’S BAY, BOURNE,
COVENTRY, RI -

Two local Mixed Martial Arts champions each won in their weight class
recently at the Reality Fighting competition in Plymouth, MA.

In the Welterweight Title Match, Mike Campbell, a 25-year-old from Franklin,
MA, retained the title with a first round knock out over Tim Pinney.
Campbell fights at 5′9″, 170 lbs.  He graduated from Coventry High School in
Rhode Island.  While in high school, his dream was to play college football.
It was dream he shared with his father.  After his father passed away from a
heroin overdose in 2001, Campbell put aside his football plans, as it was a
passion they had always shared together. “My dad and I both loved football
and we shared the passion for the game and for me playing.  When he passed
away, I didn’t want to play anymore.”

Being no stranger to competition, and missing playing sports, Campbell was
inspired to try power lifting.  He represented the US as a power lifter at
the Power Lifting World Championships when he was 22-years-old.  From there,
Campbell found Mixed Martial Arts training at USMMA.  As a professional MMA
fighter, he has built a solid career path for himself with a 5-0 record that
includes 3 KO’s.  He holds a local title belt for the 170 lb. welterweight
division.

He is just getting started.  Campbell was chosen as the feature fighter on
the reality show “Tapout” on the Versus Network.  The “Tapout” crew has been
following Campbell and watching his training and fights that will be
featured on an upcoming episode that documents their quest for the best up
and coming Mixed Martial Arts fighters in the United States.  “It has been
kind of weird having them follow me around, but I know that this will help
take me to the next level in my career as a fighter,” said Campbell.  The
episode will air in September.

Campbell also trains with Hafers and Phinney at the USMMA facility in
Bellingham, MA.  “They always come up with a great game plan and it always
works!” he said.  “Tom and Matt are there for me 100 percent.  They have
helped me to develop, not only as a fighter, but as and individual, as
well,” he added.

Also retaining a Championship Title that evening was Greg Rebello of
Middleboro, MA.  Rebello fights in the Light-Heavyweight division at 6 feet,
205 pounds.  Rebello won the fight 4 minutes and 10 seconds into the first
round with a technical knock out to Eric Brown.  It was a huge win for
Rebello as Brown had been his first and only loss to date.  “This win was a
big stepping stone for me.  I moved up in the rankings, but winning was
better than the rankings.  A main goal of mine was achieved with this win!”
said Rebello.

Originally from Buzzards Bay, Rebello graduated in 2000 from Bourne High
School where he played football and hockey.  He currently trains full-time
at USMMA putting in 25-30 hours a week of mixed martial arts, wresting,
boxing and strength and conditioning.  “I love it!  I have a new outlook on
training and my confidence is much stronger than it was three years ago,” he
said.  “My coaches at USMMA have taught me to be in great shape and that is
what makes the difference in the fight.  If you get tired first, you’ll
lose,” said Rebello.  “The motto at USMMA is ‘Make Your Best Weapon Your
Cardio” and that has worked for me.” he added.

The United States Mixed Martial Arts Training Center, located on Hartford
Avenue in Bellingham, focuses on elevating the physical and spiritual well
being of students through Mixed Martial Arts and Yoga. This is accomplished
through a four-pronged approach to reality self-defense training centered in
total body wellness.

The state of the art, 4,000-square foot training facility is complete with a
2,000-square foot padded MMA training floor equipped with heavy bags and
conditioning equipment, a 15 hundred-square foot yoga studio, locker rooms,
showers, a retail store and a juice bar.  USMMA also conducts kid’s programs
including birthday parties, hip-hop classes and summer camps.  To contact
