CFA 06 Results

 

Friday April 13 at the Bank United Center at UM we had two of our warriors step into the cage at CFA 06. First off to start the night Josh Mercado stepped in to fight Jason Somchay. This fight was 3 years in the making as they were supposed to compete for an amateur muay thai title. Josh came out strong in round 1 landing the cleaner combinations. Josh eventually pushed Jason up against the cage then slammed him, got full mount and started raining blows until the Referee stepped in at 4:24 of the first round.

 

Next up from our team was Mike Trujillo against a very tough opponent Jerrid Burke. This was defiantly a stand up war in the making. First round was close with Jerrid landing some nice leg kicks and Mike landing some great punches including a solid hook that seemed to stun Jerrid. Round 2 Mike came out with a little more confidence putting combos together and eventually landed the jab and devastating right hand that sent Jerrid to the canvas at 4:20 or round 2.

Profesional MFA fights at FIU

MFA fights at the FIU U.S. century bank arena were a huge success our very own Josh Mercado put on a display of his superior striking ability and picked his opponent Ryan Hayes apart. Ryan can into the fight undefeated with a professional 1-0 mixed martial arts record. Ryan tried to close the distance and use wrestling and jiu-jitsu to bring down Josh but he did a great job at defending the takedowns. Josh landed some sick leg kicks and some high flying head kicks, and almost finished the fight with a guillotine . Round 3 looked to be the same when Josh caught Ryan in a Darce choke to finish the fight by submission and bring his professional mixed martial arts record to a perfect 2-0. Look for big things from Josh Mercado this kid is extremely talented.

Let’s clear some things up!

Just want to take the time to clarify some things about the sport I love. The sport you see on TV where two guys are fighting in a cage is called MMA this stands for Mixed Martial Arts, It’s a combination of a boxing, wrestling, muay thai kickboxing, jiu-jitsu, and judo. Back in the days when they first started MMA (Mixed Martial Arts) it was usually some one that was a master of 1 of these arts competing against some one that was a master of a different art. For example and the most common they would put a (striker) such as a master of muay thai against a (ground guy) such as a jiu-jitsu specialist. As the sport evolved these masters started to cross train and become experts in all these arts, this is sometimes considered to be the art of Freestyle fighting. In my opinion the most important and dominant arts that you need to be fluent in are boxing, wrestling and some jiu-jitsu. Hope this is clearing some things up for you. Now the UFC stands for the (Ultimate Fighting Championship) this is not the style of fighting this is a promotional company and a sanctioning organization it is considered to be the super bowl of MMA (Mixed Martial Arts). Hope I have cleared things up for you and oh ya  by the way Professional wrestling is fake, but that’s a whole other story.

Feb 5th 2011 Super Brawl 6 was a huge success

2 of our fighters brought home championship belts that night in Deerfield Beach.

 First of them to compete was Jason Telus vs the current champ and undefeated fighter Henrick Zabados fighting out of Palm Beach Boxing. Jason telus put on a display of superior striking through combinations and good movement. He clearly won every round but for some strange reason and to everyone’s surprise it was a split decision, either way he got the victory and striped the champ of his belt. Jason is now the current South Florida supper middle weight Muay Thai Champion. Look out for this guy he is going to go far in this sport.

 

Second of our fighters to step into the cage was Anthony Garavito vs Alberto Yaguares of (ATT) American Top Team. This was a big challenge for Anthony going into this fight since it looked like he was severely out matched, Alberto is a Brown Belt in Brazilian Jui-Jitsu and Anthony is only a white belt. Anthony put on a clinic of superior striking and take down defense then got out of 2 very deep submissions. Anthony won by a once again surprising split decision to become the south Fl. welterweight MMA champion. The tattoo on his chest “NO QUARTER” says it all. This guy is a warrior.

2011 has been big already!

Wow 2011 has been crazy we are only on week 2 and the school is slammed already. The changes that we have made to the schedule and curriculum have really been a big hit. The new MMA (mixed martial arts) conditioning class seems to be the favorite so far. Students have told me that you can feel the energy in the air, I totally agree. This is going to be a huge year for us and it’s very exciting. I can’t believe we are only 25 days away from our first fight of 2011 and its going to be a good one. 2 belts on the line, Jason Telus competing for the 170 muaythai championship and Anthony Garavito fighting for the 180 MMA title also that night Jay Cee stepping into the ring again for another exciting muaythai match.
