RESULTS FROM
"Midwest Fight Fest"
July 14th, 2007 - St. Louis, Missouri, USA

Action packed is a phrase that could some up (As ISCF Promoter Brett Moses Calls his events) this Ultimate Fight Party. This Ultimate Fight Party was the joining of Boxing promotion company, Rumbletime Promotions, and MMA promotions company, Shamrock Promotions.

This partnership is bringing together fight fans from both sports, and educating them how both sports can exist on one card. This past Saturday night the first of many events to come was held at the Scottrade Center in St. Louis, Missouri, USA. The stands were packed to see this Party. The event was made up of 6 Pro Boxing matches and 7 MMA matches. The night was kicked off by the pro boxing show which reflected something off of the WWE. Then the wars started. Boxing kicked off the night with a womens match that was nothing less than exciting. The pro debut of a former IKF North American Amateur Kickboxing Champion Jaime O'Hare. The first half took about an hour and a half, then a short intermission.

Next came the ISCF Amateur MMA. The crowd was wowed as the first fight started. The boxing fans got a quick education on why this sport is taking off. Fritz Rouse made his debut with impact, knocking his opponent OUT COLD within 2 minutes of the 1st round. Boxing and MMA fans alike went nuts. Here are the results:

  1. PRO BOXING
    Jamie O'Hare (St. Louis, MO) defeated Tiffany Young (St. Joseph, MO) by 1st round KO.

  2. PRO BOXING
    Mike Wood (St. Louis, MO) defeated Tyler Seever (St. Joseph, MO) by 2nd round KO.

  3. PRO BOXING
    Robbie Cannon (Festus, MO) defeated Chris Hill (Kansas City, MO) by unanimous decision 40-26,40-26,40-26.

  4. PRO BOXING
    Kevin Engel (St. Louis, MO) defeated Stephen Johnson (Tulsa, OK) in the 1st round by KO.

  5. PRO BOXING

HOW BIG IS MMA?
Sponsors.... Listen Up!

Special To ISCF: Last week it was announced the Spike TV will pay $100 Million to Keep UFC. The question is, will they keep it?

"For $100 Million Dollars, your asking 'IF'?"

Yes... IF. That's how powerful a sport MMA has become. "IF", meaning if UFC says "Yes". Not to long ago, UFC and everyone else in MMA were "Begging" for a TV Deal. Now MMA is in the drivers seat. UFC is not the only group looking at the various TV options. Sanctioning bodies such as the ISCF has also been approached for TV since the ISCF Sanctions between 3 and 400 Pro and Amateur events a year in North America.

Michael David Smith of AOL Sports wrote: Spike TV has already said they will pay upwards of $100 million to continue its role as the cable TV home of the Ultimate Fighting Championship for at least a few more years. Although there had been previous reports that either ESPN or HBO would make a big bid for UFC, Spike and UFC have had such a symbiotic relationship -- especially in the way the reality show The Ultimate Fighter made both the channel and the sport more popular -- that it makes sense for them to stay together. The agreement will apparently include more live UFC events on Spike, but make no mistake: UFC still makes most of its money from pay per view, and that won't change. This is mostly about The Ultimate Fighter and second-tier UFC events, and as far as that goes, it sounds like a good deal for both sides.

Want to be a sponsor but are a little short of a Million dollars... And a TV Station?
Don't be disappointed Sponsors. Marketing experts are telling their clients that ANY relationship to Mixed Martial Arts today can promise great exposure for any product you are pushing, and we mean "Anything!" Sponsors are doing more than giving money. all kinds of product trades, product donations, car leases, you name it, sponsors are finding more and more ways to get involved in MMA! The fan base has a broad range from 18 to 65 so it's not just focused on a younger fight fan base. Household incomes vary greatly as well. From the college student to the Company CEO, EVERYONE is watching MMA and everything related to it!

Associated sponsors are also bragging about their product exposure with the sport. From energy drinks to new cars, vacation trips to private island giveaways, you name it, sponsors are coming and getting a big return on their sponsor dollars. The future looks even brighter for the sport, EVEN for those events not on TV. In "The most exciting and fastest growing sport in America", you don't have to have your event on TV for people to know about. Sponsors names are popping up on sites like www.youtube.com - www.gofish.com - www.jack9.com and other video host sites all over the net.

Lets face it, looking at this from a sponsors "Exposure" perspective, MMA is bigger than boxing ever was from a product endorsement - sponsorship exposure standpoint. MMA has received headlines in pretty much EVERY Major magazine and newspaper, including the Wall Street Journal! This is why several have asked to, and have already teamed up with a Sanctioning body such as the ISCF since the ISCF who as we noted, sanctions between 3 and 400 Pro and Amateur "EVENTS" a year in North America alone. That means sponsors can get their name in front of all the 3-400 ISCF Sanctioned event fans... Do the math on that one!

Whether It's alining with the ISCF, a Promoter or even a fighter, having your name associated with "The most exciting and fastest growing sport in America" is paying big rewards! TV is great, but for sponsors to win big in this sport, for once, TV is not necessary to get their name out there!

RESULTS FROM
"MMA In The Valley"

Best Western, Lee Jackson, Winchester, Virginia, USA: So much for superstition. on Friday night, July 13th, Squared Circle Boxing Promotions of Winchester Virginia held its first amateur mixed martial arts event sanctioned by the ISCF with great success. The promoter for this event, Lionel Royer, put on a first class show for his first venture into the mixed martial arts world.

Lionel and his crew also put major effort into ensuring that all patrons attending the event were satisfied with the show, the venue, and the fights.

MORE FIGHT NEWS...

But Wait...There's more...
The Strength Behind Titles?

Remember the article about the copy-cat organization formed by Kasey Thompson? Well, we promised you more, and here it is.

Our thought is this... Shouldn't a fighter be Qualified to be an actual "Contender" to fight for a title/ Well, as a REAL Sanctioning body, we though this would be a requirement. However, not MMA Promoter Kasey Thompson.

To hype his shows and sell tickets Thompson has no problem making up fighters records and then send in press releases to the local paper, who of course, believe what he is sending them is true.... NOT!

As noted before, using the Alexa HISTORY page, check out how EXACT Thompson's site match up to the ISCF pages. All that's missing on these pages is their logo, (Which we will post here tomorrow) which believe it or not, was pretty much identical to the ISCF logo except for the name. Check it out and get a laugh by clicking HERE! Some of their links actually linked back to the ISCF pages and some pages still had ISCF still on them somewhere....

Here are some "Hype" Headlines for Thompson's show Saturday night which include his so called, "World" titles:

CLAIM: "Following two major upsets in XFS V on May 12th - UFC veteran Patrick Smith losing his XFS World Heavy Weight Title to Tom Clemon; as well as Bodog's Kyacey "Ice Cold" Uscola's upset loss to Chilo Gonzales for the XFS World Light Heavy Weight Title - XFS VI should prove to be very exciting and unpredictable."
REALITY: Some here may know Patrick (Pat) Smith who basically, when you check his fight record, has been around awhile. However after his last fight in 1999, he came back to fight again in 2006, against some very inexperienced fighters. See for yourself by clicking Here. With this being said, his win loss against basic beginner Tom Clemen's was no big thing.

When Clemen's was booked for the "World Title" fight against Smith, pretty much everyone thought Smith would win over such an unexperienced fighter. Clemen's PRO record was only 2-0... And his amateur record was only 1-0. THREE fights and here's your World title shot... kinda like that comedian who says, "Here's your Sign..." But Thompson's thoughts were more like, "Who cares, it's in Idaho!" As if Idaho fight fans don't know what they are seeing... or do they? Or, are they all just believing what they read in the local newspaper? This is probably more so the case. "If the paper says it, it must be true... Right?" Wrong!

On Thompson's last event in June, he had another "World Title" fight. Chilo Gonzales actually had some experience but not necessarily a commanding winning record at 10-8 (3-1 as an amateur). For the title, Gonzales defeated Kaycey Usacola who had about the same record at the time, 11-7 - 4-4. The win gave Gonzales Thompson's XFS Light-Heavyweight Title. Still, with over 6,000 in attendance, Thompson must be doing something right. Whether it's misleading the public or some great marketing, whatever it is, people are buying it. The question is, will they continue to believe it all, especially after his show this Saturday night?

The opening paragraph for Thompson's event this weekend reads
"Qwest Arena and Knockout Promotions announced that XFS VI "BAD BLOOD," headlined by the Brazilian World Champion Douglas Lima –VS- the Mexican World Champion and Sport Fight World Champion Ed Nunoz, will come to Idaho's capital city on Saturday, JULY 14th , 2007 at 7:00 p.m."

So lets look at this a bit. WHO are these guys?

We happen to know who Douglas Lima is, but we have never seen him win a "Brazilian World Title". Lima has fought on several ISCF Sanctioned events. In fact, probably 90% of his fights were on ISCF Sanctioned events, and he is good, but probably not as good as Thompson wants everyone to believe. Lima's Pro record is 4-1 which followed a good amateur career of 3-0. All his fights except for one have been in Georgia, and that other one was in Colorado. This is no stab at Lima. He IS A GOOD FIGHTER! It's just that Thompson want's everyone to believe he's more than he really is.

As for Lima's opponent, the Mexican World Champion and Sport Fight World Champion Ed Nunoz? WHO is he? Nunoz can't be found in either of the top MMA fighter databases which are FC Fighter (Click Here) and Sherdog (Click Here).

Here are some other claims Thompson makes that are fun to look at:

CLAIM: "Idaho Steelhead's bad boy Jeremy Yablonski will be put to the ultimate test as he takes on the undefeated Jeremy "The Head Hunter" Newman from Salt Lake City, Utah."
REALITY: We did find Jeremy Yablonski, who's 1-0 as a MMA Fighter. As for Newman, this may be correct. We too found Newman undefeated... But than again, we never found him fighting either, in either of the top MMA databases: FC Fighter or Sherdog so 0-0 is indeed... undefeated.

CLAIM: "For the first time in Northwest sports history – Two World Champion Heavy Weight Sumo Wrestlers will be defending their World Titles at XFS; Kelly Gneiting (510 Lbs.) the 2005, 2006 USA World Champion, and Casey Burns (515 Lbs.) the 2003 USA World Champion, will do head-to-head."
REALITY: Kelly Gneiting is actually a US Sumo Champion, we found no reference to any "World" titles". Almost the same for Burns who has some north American title. But wait, this isn't a REAL match is it? how can it be, these guys are friends and co-presidents of the Snake River Sumo Association...Hmmm. They must hold some of Thompson's XFS titles.

CLAIM: "XFS Middleweight World Champion "Relentless" Ray Perales will be defending his title against "The Lion of Boise" Dustin Moe – a fight that's been in the making for over eight years."
REALITY: Impressive... Impressive to be a "World Champion" with "Relentless" Ray Perales (7-14 / 5-6.) Even more impressive how Perales goes back and forth fighting amateurs then pro and back to amateur bouts... maybe that's to help his fight record... At least he's winning some of those amateur bouts. However Perales should by OK against Dustin Moe... (0-5 as a Pro) However, like Perales, he has been going back and forth from amateur to pro to pick up some wins.


Thompson's Nice Tight and Safe Mat...

CLAIM: "The 3 time PAC10 Wrestling Champion from Boise State, Scott Jorgenson, will be fighting James Birdy (8-0) from Seattle, Washington for the vacant XFS Bantam Weight World Title."
REALITY: The hometown boy Jorgenson (3-1 / 1-0) should have no problem here.... mainly since we can't find Birdy ever fighting.

CLAIM: "Idaho Mixed Martial Arts legend, Brandon "Big Dog" Shuey, will be entering the octagon cage for the final time, in this his retirement fight against Eddie "The Hurricane" Belen of Indonesia."
REALITY: Although he hasn't been a sanctioned bout since October of 2006, for his outgoing bout Brandon Shuey (2-4 / 7-2) should have no problem against Eddie Belen (0-1 / 1-3) who won his only bout in 2004. Indonesia though? Maybe he just got back from vacation there.

Well, they say any press is good press, so your welcome for the headlines Kasey. Good luck with fooling the public tonight once again. However, like your sanctioning body, you may want to be careful... This stuff has a way of sneaking up on you...
