CFFC XXIV Sullivan VS Becker Review
Cage Fury Fighting Championships delivered another stellar event as CFFC returned to Atlantic City, New Jersey for CFFC XXIV Sullivan VS Becker. The top MMA fighters from around the East Coast showed why CFFC is the premier MMA organization in the area as every fight delivered with 7 of 11 fights ending in stoppages, as well as two title fights that lived up to the hype.
In the main event, George Sullivan (13-3) retained his CFFC Welterweight Championship with a TKO victory in the second round over gritty challenger Brandon Becker (6-1). Becker came into the bout undefeated and known for his strong wrestling but the Champ had too much for him and finished the bout in impressive fashion. Becker came out trying to land a high single takedown, but Sullivan hopped around on one foot showing great balance. Becker did finally get the fight to the mat, as he twisted Sullivan around and got the leverage needed to finish the takedown. Becker looked for a rear naked choke, but Sullivan defended it as they got back to their feet where Becker once again looked for a high single as Sullivan used the opportunity to land right hands to Becker’s face. The fight went back to the ground where Becker was holding an ankle as Sullivan landed a series of elbows to Becker’s head. Sullivan then got on top and landed more elbows. Becker got back to his feet and the two traded punches with Sullivan getting the better of the exchanges. Becker then went for another takedown and got it but ate more elbows to the head and body. The first round ended with both men on their feet working in the clinch. Round two began with both fighters trading strikes, as Becker was looking to land a body kick while Sullivan was measuring the distance with his jab and looking to throw his right. Sullivan continued to gain momentum as his punch count increased and he walked Becker down in the cage. Sullivan hit Becker with two hard body shots that forced Becker to shoot for a takedown which was partially stuffed by Sullivan. On the mat, Sullivan continued to land more body shots, and spun out of Becker’s grip and ended up on Becker’s back. From here, Sullivan unloaded with hard punches to Becker’s face finally causing the ref to stop the fight as Becker was almost completely out. This was a very impressive win for Sullivan who continues to knock down every opponent put in front of him.
In the co-main event, Sean “Shorty Rock” Santella (13-3-1) defeated Dave Morgan (5-3) via triangle choke to retain his CFFC Flyweight Crown. This was Santella’s fifth title fight in a row and he has won every one of them. Both fighters looked to strike in the early going and try to gauge the distance. Santella was a bit more active, while Morgan looked to get his timing down to throw a big right hand. Morgan slipped under a right hand by Santella and got the fight to the mat. Santella went for a triangle choke, but Morgan showed his brute strength by picking Santella up and slamming him to the canvas. But Santella was relentless from the position and continued to keep the triangle locked in. Santella grabbed Morgan’s left arm, and landed some elbows to Morgan’s head looking to improve his positioning on the choke and it worked as Santella was able to choke Morgan unconscious. This was another barnburner, something that has become synonymous with Santella fights as he continues to raise his stock in MMA.

CAGE FURY FIGHTING CHAMPIONSHIPS PRESENTS “CFFC XXIII” BEGINNING APRIL 29
April 25, 2013
GFL and Comcast continue their weekly combat sports series, REAL FIGHTS, with world class MMA, as Cage Fury Fighting Championships returns to Valley Forge Casino Resort in King of Prussia, Pennsylvania to present another spectacular event with CFFC XXIII – La N Sang VS Baker featuring a full slate of hotly contested matchups inside the cage. CFFC has quickly set itself apart on the regional MMA scene by expanding its footprint up and down the Eastern seaboard while running shows at a furious pace. CFFC is not only building up future world champions from its home base in New Jersey/New York, but it is also grooming the top blue chip talent along the Northeast and Mid-Atlantic regions.
In the main event, CFFC vets Aung La N Sang (14-8) and Kyle Baker (11-4) lock horns in a middleweight showdown. Sang is coming off two brutal KO finishes inside the first round and looks to continue that momentum into the cage against Baker. The Bellator veteran Sang possesses KO power in both hands and feet, but is more than a one-trick pony as he has defeated multiple opponents via submission as well. Baker is also a Bellator vet coming off a tough decision loss in his last outing. Baker also possesses KO power with unorthodox looping punches, reminiscent of former UFC Champion Chuck Liddell, as well as a strong grappling and wrestling game that usually lets him dictate where the fight goes. This main event promises to be a barnburner.
In the co-main event, UFC vet Charlie Brenneman (16-5) battles Jeremy Castro (11-10) in a lightweight clash. Brenneman is coming off an impressive win in his last bout via submission and his list of opponents throughout his career includes a who’s who of top fighters from around the world including Rick Story, Anthony Johnson (who last fought as a heavyweight), and UFC #1 Contender Johny Hendricks. Brenneman is battle-tested and comes into the CFFC cage for the first time looking to make a statement in a new division. Castro is a grizzled vet and is riding a 2-fight win streak. This is the biggest fight of Castro’s life and a win over Brenneman could change Castro’s career overnight. The winner of this bout looks to be the clear #1 Contender in the 155 lb division.

SHOWDOWN FIGHTS XI – Buchholz VS Bell Preview
Showdown Fights, the top MMA organization in Utah, presents another night of exciting fights with SHOWDOWN FIGHTS XI – Buchholz VS Bell on Friday May 10. The 8-bout event is highlighted by a Lightweight Title fight and all of the action comes to you live from the UCCU Center in Orem, Utah. Utah MMA has flown under the radar for over a decade, but Showdown Fights has proven to be in a class of its own for MMA in the Mountain West.
In the main event, with the Showdown Fights Lightweight Title on the line, Champion Justin Buchholz (14-7) defends his belt for the first time against Gordon Bell (8-1). Buchholz won the title after an impressive TKO victory in November 2012 that had everyone on their feet by the end. Buchholz is one of the most exciting fighters in the 155 lb division and as a UFC veteran, Buchholz garners a following wherever he goes. Buchholz is well-rounded and has shown a ton of heart inside the cage and trains out of the world renowned Team Alpha Male camp in Sacramento. Buchholz is a solid grappler with multiple submissions to his credit, but also has a dangerous standup game and a gas tank that won’t stop. Bell comes into the fight having previously fought in heavier weight divisions and should bring a strength advantage into the cage. Bell is a proven finisher as 7 of his 8 wins have come via KO or submission. This will be Bell’s first attempt at a title and he matches up well with Buchholz in this shootout as Bell can finish a fight at any moment. Both fighters have a lot at stake and are looking to cement their status as top 155 lb fighters. The winner of this bout will do just that and more importantly, walk out of the cage with championship gold.
Also in action, the heavyweights slug it out as Jan Jorgensen (4-0) fights Kip Ramos (5-1) in a barnburner. Jorgensen has proven to be almost unstoppable in his MMA career, coming over from a successful run as a football player. Jorgensen has never been to the third round as he has finished all 4 opponents inside of two. Jorgensen is one of the most athletic big men in the sport and his speed and natural ability make him a formidable opponent for almost anyone. Look for Jorgensen to come out swinging from the opening bell. Ramos is almost a mirror of Jorgensen, as he too starts fast and all but one of his fights have ended in the first round. Ramos is coming down from Idaho, so the crowd will be against him, but that will only serve to motivate an athlete like Ramos who is looking to give the local fans a sour taste in their mouth by defeating Jorgensen for the first time in his career. This fight is almost guaranteed to not make it to a decision, and it could very easily end in the first round.
Showdown Fights is back with SHOWDOWN FIGHTS XI – Buchholz VS Bell. Watch all of the top fighters from the West compete in the premier proving ground in the region. Order now.
CFFC XXIII Aung La N Sang VS Kyle Baker Review
Cage Fury Fighting Championships delivered another stellar event as CFFC returned to Pennsylvania for CFFC XXIII Aung La N Sang VS Kyle Baker. The top MMA fighters from around the East Coast showed why CFFC is the premier MMA regional organization in the area as every fight delivered, especially the main event.
In the main event, Kyle Baker (12-4) defeated Aung La N Sang (14-9) by KO in round one in under 30 seconds. N Sang was in southpaw position and landed a stiff left kick to Baker’s midsection seconds into the bout. But Baker struck back connecting with a short left hand that dropped N Sang to the mat as Baker followed it up with a looping right hook that caught N Sang square on the jaw, followed by two more punches before the ref could step in and stop the fight. It was a spectacular win by Baker who beat N Sang at his own game.
In the co-main event, UFC vet Charlie Brenneman (17-5) submitted Jeremy Castro (11-11) with the seldom used Peruvian necktie near the end of round one in a lightweight clash. In the early going, Castro went for a takedown, but it was stuffed by Brenneman who wanted to trade strikes. Brenneman then landed a single leg takedown of his own and ended up in Castro’s guard. Brenneman then passed to half guard as he landed punches while working to improve his position. After more punches and elbows, Brenneman got the mount in a very methodical workman like approach. Once in the mount, Castro looked to buck Brenneman off and after a quick scramble, Brenneman locked on the Peruvian necktie and got the tapout victory. With wins like this, Brenneman will have the whole MMA community talking as he re-establishes himself in a new division as a top tier 155 lb fighter.

Rocktagon MMA XXV – Prepare for Battle Review
One of the country’s premier cage fighting events returned as Rocktagon MMA presented Rocktagon MMA XXV – Prepare for Battle, at the Crane Bay Event Center in Indianapolis, Indiana. The MMA fans of Indiana were treated to the promoting juggernaut that is Rocktagon MMA with fighters willing and eager to put it all on the line in the cage. Of the 12-bouts on the card, 7 ended in finishes and the ones that went to decision were barnburners. Launching in 2010, Rocktagon has been on a rampage promoting shows throughout the country and solidifying itself as the cream of the crop among its peers in the fight game.
In the main event, in the pro ranks, Joseph “Super Hero” Lile (4-0) from Indiana defeated Clint Anderson (4-2) of Illinois by KO in the first round in a lightweight shootout. Neither fighters wasted anytime as Anderson threw leg kicks while Lile tried to find his distance with overhand rights. After a slip by Anderson, Lile got side control on the mat with Anderson up against the cage. After a quick scramble the fighters went back to their feet where they worked in the clinch where Lile was able to land a knee right down the middle. They continued to fight in the clinch with Anderson’s back against the cage as both fighters landed short elbows. Anderson landed a grazing head kick when the fighters broke the clinch but Lile went back to his overhand rihgts and connected with one that sent Anderson down to the mat. From there, Lile landed a few more solid punches as Anderson was knocked out. It was a great showing by Lile, who remains undefeated and who has tons of potential and is a budding superstar in the sport.
In the co-main event, Keith “Stone” Cunagin (5-4) defeated Tony “Two Times” Ledbetter (3-6) via arm triangle choke in round one. After an initial quick scramble in the opening seconds, Cunagin worked his way into Ledbetter’s guard after landing a solid left hook. After moving to side control, Cunagin stood up letting Ledbetter up too. From the southpaw stance, Ledbetter landed a short right hand on Cunagin’s jaw, as Cunagin went for a takedown with Ledbetter landing in Cunagin’s guard this time. After another scramble, Ledbetter grabbed a front face lock as Cunagin was still holding a single leg. Cunagin got the advantage when he put Ledbetter on his back and secured side control once again. Short elbows by Cunagin freed up some space for him to execute a perfect arm triangle as Cunagin passed from Ledbetter’s left to his right. The submission was very tight as Ledbetter went unconscious in a few seconds. It was some strong grappling shown by Cunagin who was very active and always looking to improve his position on the ground.

Ring of Combat XLIV Preview
Ring of Combat returns April 5 with Ring of Combat XLIV at the Tropicana Hotel and Casino in Atlantic City, New Jersey and streaming on iPPV through the GFL Combat Sports Network. ROC XLIV is highlighted by a title fight in the featherweight division in this 12-bout professional card. ROC continues to be the linchpin of East Coast MMA and reasserts its dominance as the top dog in the Tri-State area.
In the main event, ROC Featherweight Champion Deividas Taurosevicus (16-5) battles Guillermo Serment (4-5) in what is sure to be an action packed fight. Taurosevicus has strung together 4 wins in a row in ROC (all by submission) after stints with Bellator, WEC and the IFL. Taurosevicus is a grappling specialist who has 11 of his victories via tapout. Taurosevicus implements an aggressive style and always takes the center of the cage ready to do damage while looking for a takedown. From there, the Renzo Gracie trained fighter is constantly working for position to secure a submission hold. Serment comes from Illinois where has gained a reputation as a gritty fighter that never backs down from a challenge. Every opponent that has ever taken on Serment knows they were in a dog fight after the match. This is a huge opportunity for Serment, who if he is able to pull the upset, would be one of the bigger stories in MMA in 2013.
In another hotly anticipated match, UFC veteran Mike Massenzio (13-8) fights Ariel Sepulveda (5-6) in a middleweight scrap. Massenzio looks to bounce back with a win in his old stomping ground of the ROC cage. A strong wrestler and grappler, Massenzio will have a huge big fight experience advantage in this matchup with Sepulveda. Look for Massenzio to come out like a bat out of hell and use his world-class wrestling to get the fight to the mat early on. Sepulveda comes into the bout with some momentum, winning his last bout after a gutsy performance that showed Sepulveda has the heart and conditioning to go three hard rounds. Sepulveda is a well-rounded fighter, but might look to strike with Massenzio in the early going.
You won’t find a more thrilling card then this one. Be sure to catch all of the action as Ring of Combat presents Ring of Combat XLIV exclusively onpay-per-view at GFL.tv.
