BONNER
Wins His First At GAUNTLET PRODUCTIONS
Jackson, Georgia, USA
Brad Bonner of Valdosta Martial Arts Center won the Lightweight Tournament of the Submission Open VII, sanctioned by the ISCF (International Sport Combat Federation) held in Jackson, Georgia, on Saturday, May 19th. The rules for the tournament were Mixed Martial Arts (MMA) allowing punching, kicks, knees, and grappling while standing. Punching and submission grappling were techniques allowed after the competitors reached the canvas of the ring, which is were the former Lowndes High wrestler dominated the competition. Bonner successfully performed takedowns on both opponents and kept the action there for all of the five rounds he fought. He first defeated Dustin Davis of Atlanta with a third round head-and-arm choke submission. Later, he defeated his teammate, accomplished kickboxer, Shaun Gay, with a second round chest smother submission. Gay advanced to the finals after a knockout of PeeWee McCall with a round kick to the head in the third round.
Bonner (Right - On top,
working into the superior position) has been training at Valdosta Martial
Arts Center for about a month, after being invited to join former LHS wrestling
teammate, World Champion Jonathan Wiezorek. "Brad has
tremendous potential in mixed martial arts fighting," said his trainer,
James Corbett. "He is an excellent grappler and is
demonstrating the ability to be an effective kickboxer also. We look for him to
have a bright career, just like Wiezorek," Corbett
added.
The Valdosta area public will be able to see Bonner and his teammates in action on June 16th at the Hot Summer Fights 2001, 7:00 PM at the Lowndes Civic Center/Fairgrounds. The event will feature 12 kickboxing and 8 MMA matches, with several title fights.

33 Fighters "WALK THE WALK" In Memphis Tennessee!
EVENT RESULTS
Memphis, Tennessee, USA: The first 2001 USA National IKF/RINGSIDE Regional event this year went GREAT! 33 fighters, ages 8 and up entered the regional event in hopes of qualifying for the National Amateur Championships this September in Kansas City USA! Due to the many rule styles and weight classes to select, there were only 6 actual tournament qualifying bouts, which has not been uncommon in the past 2 years of the tournament. Only 1 fighter didn't qualify and the only reason he didn't was because he was in the only 3 fighter bracket division and this year, only the top 2 finishers of each division will qualify for the Nationals. Here are the results of the tournament matches along with some of the fights with walk-over champs vs each other.
National Championship Qualifiers
This was a Great job by ISCF & IKF Regional Director/Promoter Jeff Mullen of Mid-South Karate in Memphis Tennessee, USA with all the work involved in this event.

One Of The Greatest
Upset In
Mixed Martial Arts History!
The greatest upset in mixed martial
arts history occurred Saturday evening.
ISCF East Coast Champion, Jonathan "Lock
n Load" Wiezorek, (Hands raised right) of Valdosta Martial
Arts Center, defeated
Dan "The Beast" Severn for the new Reality Sports
World Super Heavyweight title. Experts in the no-holds barred field were shocked
when Wiezorek submitted Severn shortly into the second round.
This shock was because Wiezorek had a little known fight record of less than 10 fights despite his ownership of the notable ISCF - International Sport Combat Federations' East Coast Super Heavyweight title (www.theiscf.com). Severn, a legend in the "No Holds Barred" sport, was the expected victor of the match given his 34 fights and Olympic medallist wrestling background.
The competitors' entered the arena on a ramp to the 38 foot wide octagon lighted by a blazing pyrotechnic display. Wiezorek's entrance was virtually silent, matching the audience's appreciation for his unknown abilities. Severn entered to thunderous applause, saluting the crowd with his trademark "Beast" grimace.
Severn fairly dominated the match the first round beginning with an
early takedown. Severn sank a deep key-lock from the full mount
position. However, was unable to submit Wiezorek due to his
flexibility and determination. A few
punches were exchanged after Wiezorek escaped
Severn's superior position. Severn again took Wiezorek
down but was quickly reversed by Wiezorek.
The second round began to a flurry of punches and a failed takedown attempt by Severn. Wiezorek sprawled and gained control of Severn's head, facedown, then landed devastating knees to cripple the legendary fighter. Severn attempted to escape, rolling face-up. Wiezorek immediately moved to a side control position and then mounted Severn. Wiezorek secured Severn's head and then used his chest to smother and submit the former champion. Severn signaled his submission by tapping Wiezorek's back.
World Extreme Fighting (WEF) promoter, Jamie Levine, awarded Wiezorek the World Title Belt. Wiezorek took the spotlight and then said to the worldwide audience, "I respect Mr. Severn greatly, thanks to Mr. Levine for the opportunity, thanks to my trainer, Sensei James Corbett, my training partners and my family for their support".
This contest occurred live to an international pay per view audience, "Cage
Fight: Redemption in the Valley" which was WEF's tenth major
event. The venue for the event was the Civic Center in Wheeling, West Virginia.
Having beaten the icon that defeated the likes of Ken Shamrock, Tank Abbott,
Oleg Taktarov, Pat Miletech and many others, Wiezorek now looks to
the future. WEF Promoter Levine had numbers of calls shortly after the
fight requesting to be considered to fight "Lock n Load" for
his first title defense. His trainer and owner of Valdosta Martial Arts Center,
James Corbett, commented, "Wiezorek won this fight in
part due to his aggressive composure in the ring."
Severn was obviously shocked when the first round began to Wiezorek
charging in, taking the fight to the Ultimate Fighting Championship Triple Crown
winner. Severn probably planned on a
"nobody" being very tentative
and cautious. But, Jonathan didn't take the ring name "Lock n
Load" because he thought it sounded nice."
Corbett added, "We were overwhelmed with congratulations from
everyone. We continually had well renowned fighters and coaches say that nobody
expected this to happen. We were quick to tell them that we expected this
because of our appreciation of Jonathan's skills."
The rules for the contest were "No Holds Barred" in which the fighters can use striking, grappling, and submission techniques from various martial arts. Wiezorek, a former State Champion Lowndes High School wrestler, is a Sports Medicine Major at VSU with a 4.0 G.P.A. He is working on this degree as a pre-med student with hopes of being an Orthopedist. This fight is the opportunity of a lifetime for him, but he says, "School comes first." He also says that he wants to be a medical doctor so he can help people. Mixed martial arts action and kickboxing will be held in Valdosta on June 16, featuring several local fighters who train with Wiezorek. The public can meet Wiezorek for autographs and photos at this time. More information on this event is available at www.valdostamac.com or by calling (229) 245-8622.

CAGE RAGE Ready For Action In
Kokomo, Indiana, USA!
Kokomo, Indiana, USA:
If for some reason you arrived at this site with the hope of learning about bird
"cages" or coping with PMS "rage" - GET THE HELL OUT

the other hand, if you
want to see some hardcore dudes kick the tar out of each other, man, you have
come to the right place.

a mixed martial arts contest of guts,
determination, and skill. All to find out who's the best and toughest around.
The contests are made up of bouts with contestants from all over the country as
well as the midwest with some notable CAGE
RAGE appearances like Mark Coleman (Right) and others
that have come to strut their stuff. And to start the night off on the right
foot, entrance music will be played by Mercy Tree, Indiana's hottest
band!
Fresh meat for hungry dogs. The event will take place at the
Johanning Civic Center in delightful Kokomo, Indiana, on Saturday, April 14,
2001. It starts promptly at 6:00 PM. And it will mark the second time the
CAGE RAGE spectacle has come.
Call for ticket prices as this is $20, $35, and $55 with food and beverages
available for the evening. CAGE RAGE II
is expected to be a SOLD OUT event, so get to the Johanning Civic Center early
that evening!
The Event. CAGE
RAGE matches are all the rage because there is 1) a cage and 2) rage.
Simple, huh? Once contestants step inside the cage, it is totally up to them to
determine who is the toughest, most determined, and more skilled. Fighters
utilize a wide array of techniques and disciplines to beat their opponents. They
include boxing, karate, kickboxing, wrestling, and whatever gets the job done.
This style of fighting was originally made famous in the Ultimate Fighting
Championships often seen on cable or satellite pay TV.
The Rules.
Each opponent can use nearly any technique available to punch the other guy's
ticket. However, there is no eye-gouging, kicks to the groin, etc. and victory
is usually obtained with submission holds or knock outs. Or both.
The
Fighters. CAGE RAGE II
has an truly outstanding lineup of the 
some of the most feared and experience competitors in the country. Headlining
the event is the scheduled appearance of Mark "The Hammer"
Coleman and defending CAGE RAGE
Middle Weight Champion, Chad Wagoner (Right). And there is an
army of other great fighters who will compete in mixed martial arts at its best.
So, come to the Johanning Civic Center on Saturday, April 14th, and watch them
all in action up close and personal.
This great event has been brought to
you by... Donnie Michael, Terry Gruel, Intensecombat.com, and the ISCF. These are the guys
responsible for making
this whole thing possible. Many other people and sponsors mentioned on this site
have contributed to make CAGE RAGE
the event of the year. We urge you to thank and patronize these fine folks so
they'll keep coming back for more.
Get a kick out of CAGE RAGE II action! Hey! Your Momma
wears combat boots! Who really knows what motivates the
CAGE RAGE fighters to climb
into the ring to face off in such brutal competition? And who cares? But you
will get to see enough action to last you until the next event...we promise. The
CAGE RAGE fighters and mixed
martial arts practitioners have worked long and hard to get in shape for the
spectacular CAGE RAGE II
matches on Saturday, April 14th. And YOU can be there to see it live!
Karate? Boxing? Savate? Ju Jitsu? Barstool?
The age-old questions linger on. Who are the best fighters and what makes them
the toughest? Coming to the CAGE RAGE
II event on April 14th is one way of finding out. If you are looking for
an exciting evening - this is the place to be on April 14th. It makes HBO Boxing
seem like a quilting bee.
The perfect occasion for an outstanding time
for your knockout date. CAGE RAGE
II is a great place to take a date. Better than any action movie. More
exciting than bowling. And sure beats getting all dressed up for a dinner at
Denny's. And for those REAL women out there who dig mixed martial arts fighting,

RAGE II. There are a limited number of seats available at
CAGE RAGE II, so make sure you

Curiosity running wild? Chuck Berry knew how to get to Kokomo when he was ridin' along in his automobile. So, YOU have no excuse. The facility is located just 60 miles north of Indianapolis and the International Airport. For those coming from the south or Indianapolis, just head north on Meridian Street or US 31 until you get to Kokomo. The Johanning Civic Center is 2 miles north of Hwy 22/35 on US 31 - it's on the east side of US 31 For those coming from the north, just come DOWN US 31.
Plenty of parking. Plenty to eat and drink. And plenty
of ass-whuppin'. You'll find both paid lot and free parking right next to the
Johanning 
Civic Center. The earlier you
arrive to purchase your tickets, the better the parking spot. And we'll have a
great selection of
CAGE RAGE food waiting for you:
hot dogs, nachos, pork rinds, and chips rule. And beer is also served to those
over 21 years of age.
Help us keep the aggressive behavior in the CAGE where
it belongs. The fine folks behind
CAGE RAGE II have worked long
and hard to bring such a fine action program to the central Indiana area. We
expect a lot of enthusiastic support form a great crowd, but we ask for
reasonable behavior for the evening so we can come back again soon. A
CAGE RAGE Security Staff and
plenty of police will be on hand to make sure a good time will be had by all.
