GFL Real Fights Returns to Comcast with “XFE 23″ Beginning June 17

GFL PRESENTS “REAL FIGHTS” ON THE COMCAST NETWORK (TCN) & COMCAST SPORTSNET (CSN)
XTREME FIGHT EVENTS PRESENTS “XFE 23” BEGINNING JUNE 17
June 13, 2013
GFL and Comcast SportsNet continue their weekly combat sports series, REAL FIGHTS, with world class MMA as Xtreme Fight Events presents another show stopper with XFE 23 featuring a full lineup of extreme cage fights emanating from Harrah’s Philadelphia Casino & Racetrack. XFE has quickly solidified itself in Pennsylvania as the top-tier MMA event where rising stars step into the battleground looking to destroy their opponents.
In the main event, for the XFE Welterweight Championship, Justin Bonitatis (3-1) battles Brandon Odom (5-8). Bonitatis won the title back in December and this will be his first defense. Bonitatis is an All-American wrestler and is known for grinding down his opponents and breaking their spirits in the cage. His takedowns are something else, as nobody he’s faced has been able to stop them yet. Odom brings an experience advantage into the cage and is a well-traveled veteran having fought for the top regional organizations in the Mid-West and East Coast. Odom won his last fight via submission, and if he finds himself on the bottom of Bonitatis he will need those submission skills to try and offset Bonitatis’ wrestling and punching power on the ground.
In other action, for XFE Lightweight Title, Champion Ryan Cafaro (6-3) takes on Ryan Holmes (3-1). Cafaro is a strong wrestler with powerful submissions and likes to control his opponent on the ground. Cafaro is very active on the ground and is always looking for the tapout. Holmes will have the height advantage as he stands at 6’0″ and will look to use his reach to stay away from Cafaro’s takedowns. Holmes loves to pick his opponents apart and rack up points. This will be a contrast in styles pitting Cafaro’s ground game against the striking of Holmes.

TaKe On Muay Thai XXI Preview
Filed under: Boxing News, MMA News, Press Release, Upcoming Events
Muay Thai is center stage at the Resorts World Casino in New York as TaKe-On Productions presents TaKe On Muay Thai XXI, a full contact Muay Thai event at the first ever casino in New York City on June 28. The card features at hotly anticipated main event as it will be a rematch for the vacant 175 lb TaKe-On Title.
In the main event, for the vacant 175 lb TaKe-On Championship, Jason Van Oijen (6-0-1) and Georgui Smaguin (6-2-1) will once again do battle to see who the best fighter in the division is. The last fight ended after three rounds, this fight is scheduled for five. Van Oijen and Smaguin fought to a draw after three rounds of hard-hitting action on April 26 and this immediate rematch is sure to pick up right where it left off two months ago. Last time, the fight hinged on a point that was taken away from Smaguin in the fight for an illegal knee to the groin. Without that deduction, Smaguin would have won on two judges’ scorecards. Smaguin is looking to make things right in this fight by pushing through any obstacle put in his path. Van Oijen looked sharp in their first meeting, connecting with solid kicks, knees and punches and also held an advantage in the clinch where Van Oijen would toss Smaguin to the canvas if he didn’t like how the exchanges were going. This is a real treat for fans and shows what solid matchmaking TaKe-On Productions has, because a lot of times these rematch fights get pushed back for months or years when the frenzy and excitement has been lost. Not this time. Expect Van Oijen and Smaguin to go right after each other as this time someone’s walking out a champion!
You can bet more exciting, competitive fights will be announced shortly as this card will build on TaKe-On Productions stranglehold on Muay Thai in not only the Northeast but the United States in general.
If you love the art of striking, there is no better iPPV for you to order than TaKe On Muay Thai XXI. Take-On Productions always puts on great shows and this event will up the ante of the East Coast kingpin of Muay Thai. Order now.

Warriors Cup XVII Review
Filed under: Boxing News, MMA News, Past Events, Press Release
Weapons 9 Promotions returned to GFL and delivered another dose of top ranked pro/am Muay Thai to the Tri-State area at Shuetzen Park in North Bergen, New Jersey with Warriors Cup XVII featuring 13 fights. Warriors Cup events have quickly carved out a popular niche for themselves on the Eastern seaboard as the place to see great standup fighting. Warriors Cup XVII might have been the best one yet as there was plenty of punches, kicks, knees and more!
In the main event, former Bellator Champion Lyman Good (Tiger Schulmann) defeated kickboxing sensation Strahinja Ivanovic (Capital MMA) after five rounds via unanimous decision. Good is known for his all-around fighting as he has shown a great arsenal of wrestling, grappling and striking in his MMA career where he has amassed a record of (15-3) and he did enough in this bout to win 4 rounds on all three judges’ scorecards. Good looked like a much bigger fighter in the ring and his power was evident in the early going where he had Ivanovic backing up and looking to counter. Good landed some nice punches throughout the fight as he really sat down on his feet so he could unload with his fists, but maybe most telling was his grappling and advantage in the clinch as anytime Ivanovic would try to land knees from the position or found distance with his punches or kicks, Good would close the space and grab Ivanovic as well as toss him to the mat from the position on several occasions. After five rounds it was clear that Good was just a better all-around athlete and whatever he lacked in experience he made up with in athleticism and being a quick study as he was able to shut down a very dangerous fighter in Ivanovic.
In other action, with the 138 lb Title on the line, Laurel Holloway (Sitan Gym) defeated Christina “X” Peteraf (Cool Hearts Muay Thai Camp) by unanimous decision after 5 rounds of championship action. Both women fought extremely hard as there was no question they had put the time in the gym as their cardio was tremendous. Both ladies connected with knees, leg kicks and punches but Holloway was a bit more accurate in the eyes of the judges and scored the win. This was a close fight and there wasn’t a dull moment in the fight.
If you love action-packed striking, Warriors Cup XVII is your type of event. Watch as these fearless gladiators put it all on the line to earn a victory in one of the most grueling and punishing combat sports in the world. Order Warriors Cup XVII exclusively from the GFL Combat Sports Network at GFL.tv on video on demand and own it for life.

GFL PRESENTS “REAL FIGHTS” ON THE COMCAST NETWORK (TCN) & COMCAST SPORTSNET (CSN)
ROY JONES JR IN ASSOCIATION WITH TNT PROMOTIONS PRESENTS “SPADAFORA VS FRANKEL” BEGINNING JUNE 10
June 7, 2013
GFL and Comcast continue their weekly combat sports series, REAL FIGHTS, with championship boxing, as 8-Time World Champion Roy Jones Jr. & TNT Promotions presents Spadafora VS Frankel at the Mountaineer Casino, Racetrack & Resort featuring a full lineup of hotly contested matchups inside the ring.
In the main event, the vacant WBC (NABF) Super Lightweight Championship will be on the line when undefeated former IBF & IBC World Champion Paul “The Pittsburgh Kid” Spadafora (47-0-1) steps into the ring with former WBC (USNBC) Champion “Red Hot” Rob Frankel of Denver, Colorado. In what would be an astonishing feat, Spadafora looks to claim his 48th victory without a loss, the longest undefeated streak among any active boxer in the world today, and claim another Championship Title, pushing him back to the top of the Super Lightweight Division. A decisive victory over the rugged Frankel could position Spadafora for the big money fight he has been craving. With Roy Jones Jr. behind him, Spadafora believes he could soon be facing fighters like Rios, Alvarado, Broner & Garcia.
But Spadafora faces his toughest test to date since restarting his career as the Mile High City’s favorite Frankel comes storming into the bout winning 4 of his last 5 with his lone defeat a tough decision to #1 Contender Cleotis Pendarvis. Frankel has forever yearned for a shot at Spadafora, which he earned in January with a dominating performance over previous Spadafora foe Jermaine White. A victory against Spadafora will lead to bigger paydays and more recognition for Frankel who has been knocking on the door to superstardom for some time.
