 MMA POWERHOUSE Zach
George On IKF TV At
Jack9.com!
Jack 9 just
uploaded some more IKF TV Fight Clips
and in the new mix is a look back at current MMA powerhouse Zach George
( Undefeated
in MMA) of Norman, Oklahoma when he fought for the IKF Amateur North American Title against Chad
Morgan.
At the 2003
IKF/TKO USA
Nationals, some thought Zach George (Watonga, Oklahoma,
USA, 6-1/3, 136, 5'6", 19, Scott Mincey) had a questionable win for his
title against Robert Elledge of California. Elledge opted to
fight on a local card in California on the night before the
2003 IKF North American
Tournament (Before this was made into the big IKF tournament).
This was sad for George who had planned to fight Elledge there but even
more sad for Elledge because the fighter he was scheduled to fight in
California no showed leaving
Elledge without a fight.
Probably a good for Elledge because a very different
Zach George showed up in South Carolina at IKF
Promoter Ray Thompson's hosted,
2003 IKF North American
Tournament. George looked like his winning multi time World
Champion trainer Scott Mincey as he picked apart first time fighter Chad
Morgan of Providence, North Carolina, USA trained by
Ronnie Copeland on his way to winning the 2003
IKF North American title by TKO at 1:29 of
round 1, by 3 knockdown rule. After one devastating loss in MMA Elledge
pretty much dropped out of fighting while George moved forward with a
great Professional MMA Career.
Also added from the same event was the
2003 IKF North American
title bout between
Bill Jadine of Mondovi, Wisconsin, USA (11-3/1, 194, 6'3", 25,
Michael Lind) and Adrian Turpin of Anderson, South Carolina, USA (10-8/1,
184, 6', 35, Ben Turpin) for the Cruiserweight title. This bout went the
distance.

UFC Buys Pride
For Less Than $70M
Associated Press



|
NEW YORK:
The majority owners of Ultimate Fighting Championship have agreed to buy
their biggest mixed martial arts rival, Pride Fighting Championships, in
a deal that will establish megafights among the outfits' titleholders and
possibly attract huge pay-per-view audiences.
"This is really going to change the face of MMA.
Literally creating a sport that could be as big around the world as soccer. I
liken it somewhat to when the NFC and AFC came together to create the NFL.",
Lorenzo Fertitta, one of UFC's majority owners
Company executives declined to comment on the sales price, but
a person familiar with the negotiations told The Associated Press that
brothers Lorenzo and Frank Fertitta will purchase the
Japan-based Pride for less than $70 million. The person was not authorized to
speak to reporters and spoke on condition of anonymity.
The deal was completed Tuesday and was announced during a news
conference in Tokyo, where Lorenzo Fertitta has been negotiating with
Nobuyuki Sakakibara, the majority owner and chief executive of Dream
Stage Entertainment Inc., Pride's owner. "We have been talking to
Pride for probably about 11 months," Lorenzo Fertitta said. "It's
been a long, drawn-out process but we finally were able to put the two brands
together."
To buy the company, the brothers created a new entity called
Pride FC Worldwide Holdings LLC. The newly formed company will take over
Pride assets, including its trademarks, video library and valuable
roster of fighters, from Dream Stage. The Fertitta brothers, who
own Las Vegas-based Zuffa LLC, the parent company of UFC, intend
to keep the well-known Pride name and promote fights under that brand.
The acquisition marks a new phase in the brothers' quest to dominate the
burgeoning world of mixed martial arts since they bought the struggling UFC
in 2001.
The deal allows the Fertitta brothers to broker the
biggest MMA fights possible in the near future, increasing their influence in
this sports entertainment business. "We will be able to literally put
on the fights that everyone wants to see,"
Lorenzo Fertitta said. "It will allow us to put on some of the
biggest fights ever." In the past, there has been at least one case in
which Pride and UFC couldn't hammer out a deal to put their top
fighters in the ring together. With Pride in their pocket, the Fertitta
brothers intend to ensure that never happens again. The sale gives Pride
more financial backing to expand the business internationally after suffering a
recent financial blow.
Major sponsor Fuji Television Network Inc. dropped Pride
in June after a tabloid linked Pride to the Japanese mob -- something
Sakakibara has denied vigorously. To help bolster Pride, the
company staged two PPV fights in Las Vegas. Neither was a financial success. The
fights gained exposure for Pride but lost money, making the sale of Pride
more likely. "I think it certainly weakened their position,"
Lorenzo Fertitta said. "One of our goals is to get back on a
major platform back here in Japan."
Lorenzo Fertitta said he'll be looking to expand Pride
internationally.
Buying Pride is the latest in a series of acquisitions
that the brothers have made in the last six months. Zuffa snapped up
World Extreme Cagefighting and World Fighting Alliance last
year. Similar to Pride, buying WFA gave UFC the rights
to a popular fighter named Quinton "Rampage" Jackson.
Jackson will face UFC's most popular fighter, Chuck Liddell,
the current light heavyweight champ in Las Vegas, on May 26 on PPV.
Thanks to a surge in popularity, the brothers' investment in
UFC and MMA in general has begun to pay off. Last year, UFC
cracked $200 million in PPV revenue, putting it on par with World Wrestling
Entertainment Inc.
UFC stages fights in arenas across the country and airs
a clutch of successful television shows on Spike TV. It has also opened
an office in London, looking toward establishing itself internationally. The
brothers also run Station Casinos Inc. in Las Vegas. Lorenzo
Fertitta is president and Frank Fertitta is chairman and chief
executive of Station Casinos, a public company that was recently agreed
to be purchased by a private equity investor group that includes key members of
the Fertitta family.

RESULTS FROM
"XFF
IX NW"
March 17th, 2007 - Dalton, Georgia, USA
ISCF
Representative Cal Cooper
Saturday night, March 17th, Ken
Coffey and his Xtreme Event Productions, LLC Promotions team hosted
approximately 1,550 fight fans to "XFF IX NW
at the Georgia Trade Center, Dalton, Georgia, USA. Here is the "Play by
Play" of the nights action below.
- AMATEUR MMA:
Chad Walker (211) Vs
Randy Thompson
(208)
This bout started with a good scramble with Walker getting the
takedown. The large crowd was enthusiastic. Walker strikes from the top
until he is able to take Randy's back. The position deteriorated into a
'schoolyard' choke which Walker couldn't get beneath Thompson's
chin. More scrambling landed Thompson on top in the guard. The crowd
liked the reversal and cheered enthusiastically for Thompson's efforts. Round
Two started with some standup efforts, but both fighters looked tired from
adrenal rush. Most of the round went to the ground with Walker in top
position trying to stay busy and score points. Thompson stood up at the
end of Round 2 looking undamaged.
Round three saw Walker get his hand caught in the rope connectors
and twist it around good and tight. Referee George Allen stopped the
bout long enough to free Walker, and Thompson briefly celebrated
a wrongly perceived victory. Sadly for him the fight wasn't over and while both
guys fought hard to an exhausted finish, Walker would prove victorious
by decision. Winner: Chad Walker by Unanimous
Decision.
- AMATEUR MMA:
Tracy Steele
(224) Vs
James Faye (250)
After a slow start to a
takedown, Tracy Steel, a fighter of considerable girth, ended up on top
of James Faye and went to work with some effective shoulder smashes to
the face. The action got slow on the ground and this fact the crowd did not
enjoy. Referee George Allen, after an initial warning, stood the
fighters up at the end of the first round.
In round two Faye was able to reverse a defensive ground position
and eventually pound out a non-defending Steele as the referee stopped
the bout in round two. Winner: James Faye by
Referee Stoppage Due to Strikes.
- AMATEUR MMA:
Eric Runci (155) Vs
John Cofer
(153)
This was the first really competitive bout of the evening and it went
quick. Both fighters came out in great condition and fought intensely for the
duration. Cofer had great defense and looked good on his feet. He had
good ring work. The fight stayed on its feet almost exclusively with a lot of
ring movement. Runci managed to bulldog Cofer into the neutral
corner twice. On the second occasion he was able to score with punches and get a
referee stoppage over the shaken Cofer. The fight was short, competitive
and intense. Winner: John Cofer by Referee
Stoppage Due to Strikes.
- AMATEUR MMA:
*Jason
Gates (181) Vs
Jack Kisner Jr. (181)
Jack Kisner entered to loud applause from his X3 supporters,
many of whom were in attendance. The fight went to the ground rather quickly
with Gates in Kisner's guard. Kisner seemed comfortable
on the ground, and with vocal and opinionated support from the crowd he scored a
triangle toward the middle of round one.
Winner:
Jack Kisner by Triangle Choke.
- AMATEUR MMA:
Anthony Holder (259) Vs
*Mark
Hughes (250)
This
bout was notable both due to the action in the ring and beneath it. Holder
is an aggressive kid with a Tank Abbott physique who knows how to scrap.
His opponent was the latest in a long line of jacked up and well-trained Knuckle
Up fighters, Mark Hughes (no, this is not Matt Hughes' twin, a
fighter of the same name). The bout was aggressive and from the start. The
action was up and down with plenty of head hunting. Mark got a cut on
his temple early on, possibly from an unintended head butt. The real excitement
took place when the venerable boxing ring's tensions chains underneath popped a
pin with a loud metallic 'ping!' as the heavy fighters hit the ropes.
Remarkably, as Referee Andy Foster pointed out, Holder helped
Hughes not fall out of the ring as he started to topple over backwards
through the now-slack ropes. Such is the sportsmanship of competitive MMA
fighters. One of the four ring corner posts tilted in and the ring floor sagged.
XFF's crew went to work and in about 20 minutes the ring was repaired
and reinforced, and the fight continued right where it left off. After trading
some more strikes, Hughes decided to take the situation in a different
direction, pulling Holder into his guard and finishing him with a
Guillotine Choke.
Winner: Mark Hughes by
Guillotine Choke.
- AMATEUR MMA:
Casey Pintar (170) Vs
Demetrice Turner
(169)
In a very short fight Knuckle Up's Casey Pintar came
out strong and ran over Demetrice Turner, a ripped up, tough looking
fighter. Pintar is an up-and-comer to watch out for. Winner: Casey Pintar by Rear Naked Choke.
- AMATEUR MMA:
*Walt Davis
181) Vs
Eric Heegaard (185)
Heegaard is
a Trammell Fitness fighter. Davis is from the local United
Karate school. He had a tremendous following present. Round one was a busy
fight on the ground after Davis finally got a takedown to the guard.
Both fighter were fresh looking for round two and Heegaard scored some
painful looking knees to the body and legs. Back on the ground, Heegaard
pulled Davis into a tight choke in his guard, but Davis worked
out of it. The United Karate fighter was finally able to get the tired
HeeGaard's back for a Rear Naked Choke. Winner:
Walt Davis by Rear Naked Choke.
- AMATEUR MMA:
Rickie Natividad
(163) Vs
Clint Swartzlander (158)
This bout was
the closest decision of the night. Round one saw some nice kicks by both
fighters early. The action soon hit the ground where Navidad tried a
rear Naked Choke and a Guillotine, both of which Swartzlander escaped.
Navidad set up a nice combination of high-kick to body shot, which
dropped Swartzlander, to Guillotine. The round ended. The second
round began with about 30 seconds of standup action with neither fighter
dominating. Finally, Navidad jumped up and put Swartzlander in a
Guillotine. Swartzlander held him up for several long moments and
finally, unable to escape the Guillotine, slammed Navidad to the mat.
Navidad kept the Guilotine, which was sunk in under the neck, but the
tough Swartzlander still managed to escape and score more striking
damage later in the round. In the third round ground fighting played a
larger role. Swartzlander scored big with some punches to the face
after he successfully pinned Navidad's arm across his body.
Winner: Clint Swartzlander by Split Decision.
- AMATEUR MMA:
Jaral Bowman (143) Vs
Garrett Kemble (140)
These two fighters
were in very good physical condition. Garrett is a stocky, short limbed
powerful fighter and Bowman is somewhat lankier. In round one this bout
was very competitive, but Bowman soon discovered that through leverage,
and perhaps ability he had some wrestling advantage. Bowman did execute
a crowd-pleasing standing guillotine in round two. The fight got boring from
there, with Garrett almost entirely trapped beneath Bowman, but
never in danger of any real submission. To their credits, both fighter were in
shape and never stopped fighting. Bowman did score some vicious knees to
Kembel's hip at the end of round two, but otherwise it was an ugly win
for Bowman. Winner: Jaral Bowman by
Unanimous Decision.
- PRO MMA: Braden
Bice (241) Vs Fabio Costa
(223)
This bout ended quickly in a surprising fashion as the heavily favored Costa's
back went out when Bice landed on him in a takedown urging him to tap
before Bice could pursue the attack. Regardless, Braden gets the
win and doesn't break a sweat. We wish Casta a speedy recovery to a
painful injury. Winner: Braden Bice by Tapout.
- PRO MMA: James
Thorpe (314) Vs Mike Walbright
(260)
In their second meeting Thorpe made quick work of Mike "Lonewolf"
Walbright once again with a clinch, a takedown, and a submission. Their
first meeting was last September in Atlanta where Thorpe disposed of
Walbright by Submission at the 3:16 mark of round 1. Winner: James Thorpe by Tapout.

Bernal's left hands over the top. Bernal throws a leg kick, hard
right hand combo, forcing the fight against the cage. These fighters grapple up

attack. As the fighters break apart they exchange blows. Then Bernal
turns up the heat, landing some rights and lefts that stagger Kaeding
and the crowd goes wild! The fighters grapple up and Bernal keeps the
pressure on landing knees and Kaeding has the presence of mind to land a
knee of his own, looking for a double leg, but finds no room. He's answered by a
hard striking combination by Bernal that finds Kaeding on the
mat again. Caught up in the action, Bernal lands a kick while Kaeding
is still on the mat. Realizing Kaeding cannot continue, Referee Rob
Kimmons steps in to enforce the rules - you cannot kick a fighter in the
head while on the ground. The crowd, and we're sure the fighters, are upset by
this unfortunate stop in action. Excellent show of technique prior to
the foul.

fight that
Martell had already fought as a professional
in Florida on February 24th, 2007, but the results had not been posted on any
MMA database at the time of the fight in Missouri. Simply put,
Martell was not truthful with the ISCF or the Promoter of the Missouri event, Phil
Jones. The action taken in this was a Suspension of 90 days plus a fine of $500.00.
Suspension remains until fine is paid.

RESULTS FROM
"KICKFEST"
March 10th, 2007 - Waterloo, Iowa, USA
IKF
& ISCF Representatives Mike & Teri Storm
Exactly one week after what some say was the largest snowstorm since 1998
went through the Great Plains, the folks in Waterloo, Iowa were ready, rowdy and
looking for some action which is exactly what Promoter
Russ O'Connell gave them on Saturday, March 10th with KICKFEST 2007 at the 5 Sullivan Brothers
Convention Center.
Russ put together an event that combined International
Rules Kickboxing and Mixed Martial Arts that included not one but
TWO title fights. The ISCF Amateur
Iowa State Lightweight Title and the ISCF
Amateur Iowa State Middleweight Title were both up for grabs in the co-main
event. Recognition must also be given to Brian Robinson, Jason Miller,
Jamie Mether, Shawn Price, Rhonda Harmening, Amanda Malonie and juniors Noah
Dinsdale, Marcus Harrison, Jordan Harrigan and Alex Herrara for
putting on some fine exhibitions for the capacity crowd. Here are the results of
the fights:
- International Rules Light Welterweight
Bobby Kastli, 1-0-0, Waterloo, IA, Russ O'Connell
vs, Steve Woock, 0-1-0, Des Moines, IA
Round
1: Kastli had a tremendous height and reach advantage which he used to stalk
Woock around the ring. He threw left jabs and right crosses throughout
the round while Woock tried to keep him off with kicks to Kastli's
legs and body. Toward the end of the round, Kastli waded through Woock's
kicks and delivered a left/right combination that bloodied Woock's nose
and sent him retreating for the remainder of the round.
Round 2: This
round was nearly a duplicate of the first round. Kastli continued his
left/right combinations and added some kicks of his own. Woock
continued to throw his kicks in an effort to stall Kastli's attack but
was ineffective through most of the round.
Round 3: Kastli came
across the ring at the start of the round and executed a solid kick to Woock's
body that made Woock double over and wince in obvious pain. Kastli
failed to follow-up on it and allowed Woock to recover. Shortly after
that, Kastli delivered another left/right combination to Woock's
head, stunning Woock but again Kastli failed to follow-up and
allowed Woock to recover. The round ended with Kastli following
Woock around the ring as described in the first two rounds.
All judges scored the fight 30-27, winner by Unanimous
Decision, Bobby Kastli.
- Mixed Martial Arts Welterweight
Nick
Kilburg 1-0, Waterloo, IA, Russ O'Connell vs,
Neil Meier
2-3, East Moline, IL, Mike Smith
Round 1: At the start of the round,
Meier came across the ring and tried to end the fight with one strong
looping right hand to Kilburg's head but he missed and threw himself
off-balance and to the canvass. Kilburg appeared reluctant to fight on
the ground and as a result he let Meier back to a standing position.
They moved around the ring until a clinch got Meier close enough to Kilburg
to allow Meier to wrap his arms and legs around Kilburg, pulling
him down to the canvass. Kilburg managed to maintain a top mount while
throwing punches at
Meier. Kilburg slid back and attempted an ankle look with no result
eventually giving it up and standing bringing both fighters to their feet. Next
it was
Kilburg's turn to attack. He rushed Meier, took him down and
quickly got onto
Meier's back with his hooks in and a rear choke. Meier defended
the choke well enough to survive till the end of the round.
Round 2: It
was Kilburg's turn to want to take the fight to the canvass. He
attacked Meier and took him down and controlled Meier from a top
and side mount during the first half of the round. Eventually the action
stalled and Referee Dean Stone stood both fighters up and started them
again. Again, Kilburg attacked and took Meier down to the
canvas and finished the last half of the round much like he started the first
half.
Round 3: Kilburg took Meier down early in the round and
was able to gain side control where he delivered several knees to Meier's
body. Meier twisted away from the knees and was able to tie Kilburg
up at which time they became inactive and were stood up to fight. Kilburg
took Meier down again and the round ended with Kilburg on top.
All judges scored the fight 30-27, winner by
Unanimous Decision, Nick Kilburg.
- Mixed Martial Arts Welterweight
Matt Bauler 2-10, Waterloo, IA, Russ
O'Connell vs,
Tyler Reams 6-1, Charles City, IA
Round
1: Bauler came across the ring attacking with his head down.
Reams caught him coming in and caught Bauler in a guillotine
choke forcing
Bauler to tap out at :50 seconds of the first round.
Winner by Tapout, Tyler Reams.
- International Rules Heavyweight
Roy Jones, 3-0-0, Waterloo, IA, Russ O'Connell vs,
Casey Johnson, 2-3-0, Roscoe, IL, Rick
Bloyer
Round 1: Both fighters came at each other early. Johnson,
the shorter of the two fighters had to bull his way inside to hit Jones
while Jones was content to stay outside with his superior reach
advantage. Both gave as good as they got with neither fighter hurting the
other. Toward the end of the round, Johnson, showboating, dropped his
hands and allowed Jones to punch him in the head with 5 good shots to
prove he couldn't be hurt and probably not scoring a lot of points with the
judges. There were very few kicks thrown in the round.
Round 2:
The action in this round was much like the first. Jones appeared to be
able to move a little better this round and was able to keep Johnson
from crowding him as much.
Round 3: A tired Jones was less
able to keep Johnson off this round.
Johnson was able to connect with shots to Jones' head and body
on several occasions during the round but Jones refused to go down. A
better round for
Johnson but it was too little too late. There were very few kicks
thrown in the fight.
Judges scored the fight
29-28, 29-28, 30-27, winner by Unanimous Decision, Roy Jones.

around the waist and dumping him on his back. Reams controlled the top
mounted position for the greater part of the round. Reams made a
mistake by getting too high and allowing Ayala to get a leg around his
neck and getting him in a triangle choke. At 2:20 of the round Reams
ended up tapping out.
Winner by Tapout, Joseph
Ayala.
- International Rules Light Middleweight
Josh Bumgarner, 3-1-0,
Waterloo, IA, Russ O'Connell vs, Joe Duncan,
1-2-0, Roscoe, IL, Rick Bloyer
Round 1: Bumgarner came ahead and
began tagging Duncan with about a dozen left/right combinations to Duncan's
head that had Duncan retreating the whole round. Duncan seemed
unable to mount any offense to get on track.
Round 2: Bumgarner
started the round with a few kicks but soon went back to the left/right
combinations that worked for him in the first round. Duncan attempted
to finish the round strong with a short burst but was not able to do enough to
take the round.
Round 3: Bumgarner appeared as if he felt he had
the fight won and was content to stay away from Duncan. Duncan became
bolder and showed more offense by moving forward as Bumgarner backed
away. Duncan's offense was not enough to move the judges decisions in
his direction.
All judges scored the fight
30-27, winner by Unanimous Decision, Josh Bumgarner.

Amateur Iowa State Lightweight Title
Mike Plazola, Mike Plazola, 6-2, Waterloo, IA,
Russ O'Connell vs,
Tory Bogguess, *2-6,
Silvis, IL
Round 1: Plazola attacked first to take Bogguess
down. On the way down,
Bogguess put
Plazola in a guillotine but was unable to maintain the choke from the
bottom.Bogguess was able to reverse the position but was unable to gain
any advantage. The whole round consisted of both fighters continually changing
positions from bottom to top with neither able to take clear control. It was a
very fast paced round with all three judges giving the edge in the round to
Bogguess.
Round 2: As the round started, Bogguess
ran across the ring and threw a flying "Superman" punch that
landed on the face of Plazola knocking
Plazola on his back with his head under the ropes. Bogguess
failed to follow-up on the knockdown and allowed Plazola to get up where
the round continued much as the first round did. While Plazola was on
his back, Bogguess started to stand at which time Plazola threw
an illegal up-kick hitting Bogguess in the face. Referee Dean Stone
stopped time and admonished Plazola for the strike. The round ended
with all three judges giving the round to Bogguess.
Round 3: Bogguess
attempted a flying knee to start the round but missed Plazola and was
taken down by Plazola. Plazola was able to get a full top mount on Bogguess
in Bogguess' corner where he proceeded to punch Bogguess in the face
repeatedly. Bogguess was unable to defend himself from the barrage of
punches and tapped out at 1:59 of the round.
Winner
by Tapout and ISCF Amateur Iowa State Lightweight Champion Mike Plazola.
- (*)
Tory Bogguess, replaced the origional opponent (
Nick Anderson ) after Anderson pulled out prior to the event. Although
Tory Bogguess never met the requirements to be a title contender, the ISCF accepted him as a title contender since no
other Iowa (At the time it was told to the ISCF that he was from Iowa, not
Illinois as later discovered) opponent could be found in time to fight
Plazola. Since the title was vacant, ISCF
allowed this with the understanding that regardless of who won, they would
defend the title within 1 year against a legit contender.

Amateur Iowa State Middleweight Title
Jeff Bunger 7-2-1, Waterloo, IA, Russ O'Connell
vs, David Severe 4-2, Davenport, IA, Gary Schroeder
Round
1: Bunger came out and landed a right hook to Severe's jaw putting
Severe on his back. Bunger jumped on Severe and from the top
position he proceeded to punch at Severe's head. Severe was
able to block many of the punches and defended himself to the satisfaction of
Referee Dean Stone. After surviving the onslaught, Severe was
able to work his way back to a standing position just to have Bunger
charge him again and take him down once more.
Severe, from the bottom, was able to slide a hip out from underneath
Bunger and managed to reach behind Bunger's back and lock a
kamura onto Bunger's arm.
Bunger had his hand poised and was ready to tap when Severe
slipped and lost the arm lock. Severe was able to slip out the side and
rolled onto Bunger's back.
Severe hooked his feet around Bunger's waist and between his
legs laying Bunger flat onto his stomach. Severe then proceeded
to pound Bunger on the head. Referee Dean Stone stopped the
fight at 3:45 of the round when Bunger proved incapable of effectively
defending himself from this position.
Winner
when referee stopped the contest and ISCF Amateur Iowa State Middleweight
Champion David Severe

RESULTS FROM
"Evolution

March 10th, 2007 - Albany,
Georgia, USA
Matthew Waller
ISCF Representative - Albany Civic Center, Albany,
Georgia, USA
On March 10th the Albany Civic Center saw old
fight fans present and new ones being initiated as there has not been a live MMA
show in Albany... Until now! ISCF
Promoters
John Turner and Richard Cox found a beautiful venue in Albany
and thought it would look a little better with a cage resting on its floor. They
called pro fighter and future ISCF
promoter Scott Harper (who's event you will be reading about next
week) and made that dream come true. Guests included UFC fighters Junior
Assuncao and Rory Singer who refereed along with pro fighter and
superstar referee Cam McHargue. Many fans of the sport showed up to
watch the Mixed Martial Arts event, which judging from the history of the sport,
I feel is family oriented enough that I brought my own children to watch and
enjoy. The action was as follows;
- 155 AMATEUR MMA
Cory Lippel
Vs
Randy Wilkes
Wilkes
lands a few kicks and punches looking to cover the distance and gets a takedown
and takes
Lippell's back. Wilkes throws a few punches and lands a heel
kick in the stomach of Lippell, trying to open him up and get a rear
naked choke. Lippell shakes Wilkes off, lands in Wilkes's
guard and throws a few punches just as the bell rings.
Round 2 Both
fighters throw a few kicks and Lippell gets the takedown, Wilkes
gets a reversal off the takedown and lands in mount. Lippell scrambles
and rolls, but leaves his arm out. Wilkes takes the arm bar for the tap.
Winner by arm bar at 1:33 in round 2 Randy
Wilkes.
- 160 AMATEUR MMA
Ryan McClellan Vs
Joel Nettles
McCellon
comes out with a few kicks and then gets the clinch followed by a takedown. McCellon
gets the mount and lands some solid strikes to the ribs of Nettles. Nettles
rolls and McCellon takes his back and sinks in a rear naked choke for
the tap.
Winner by rear naked choke at 1:50 of
round 1 Ryan McCellon.
- 170 AMATEUR MMA
Jason Barrett Vs
Chris Newsome
Strikes were exchanged by
both fighters and Newsome gets a takedown. Newsome in the guard
of Barrett and Barrett gets an arm bar for the win.
Winner by arm bar at 1:10 of round 1 Jason Barrett
- 140 AMATEUR MMA
John Puerta
Vs
William Reynolds
Both
fighters danced around the cage sizing one another up.
Reynolds reaches in and works a takedown and lands in the guard of Puerta.
The action was stalling so referee Rory Singer stood both fighters up. Reynolds
quickly works another takedown and begins to land strikes to the head of Puerta
as the round ends.
Round 2 Kicks and strikes thrown by both fighters and
Reynolds lands another takedown landing in Puerta's guard. Puerta
was caught up against the fence for a moment but quickly scrambles and gets out
only to stand up and give a smile to Reynolds. Both fighters entered
into a slugfest and Reynolds gets a takedown and works quickly to secure
a rear naked choke that forced Puerta to tap.
Winner by rear naked choke at 2:28 of round 2 Cody Reynolds
- 155 AMATEUR MMA
Lynard Dicks Vs
Jimmy Smith
Smith opens the round up with a few kicks, but Dicks
responded by taking down
Smith and working a choke. Smith escapes and gets side control
and answers the choke of Dicks with a choke of his own, landing a head
and arm choke that made Dicks tap.
Winner
by head and arm choke at 2:18 of round 1 Jimmy Smith.
- (*) Although unconfirmed,
ISCF does not believe the above Mr. Smith
is this Jimmy Smith
- 185 AMATEUR MMA
John Fulton
Vs Danny
Thurmond
Thurmand lands a few strikes but, Fulton
takes him down to the canvas and gets full mount. Fulton lands a couple
of punches and then snatches an arm bar to get the tap.
Winner by arm bar at 43 seconds of round 1 John Fulton
- 145 AMATEUR MMA
Dan Funes Vs
Jason Hickey
Both fighters raced out and
land a storm of kicks and punches and
Hickey takes the fight to the ground. Funes gets side control
and passes to half guard, and follows up with full mount landing a barrage of
strikes that made referee Cam McHargue stop the bout.
Winner by referee stoppage at 2:52 of round 1 Dan Funes.
- 185 AMATEUR MMA
Heath Davis Vs
Shawn Brooks
Davis gets a
takedown and lands in side control, passes to full mount and lands several
strikes. Brooks gets a reversal and stands in Davis's guard
where Davis tries to set up a triangle. Davis gets full mount
again and lands strikes until the referee stops the bout.
Winner by referee stoppage at 3:07 of round 1 Heath Davis.
*Not to take anything away from Davis, I would
like to include that
Shawn Brooks took the bout on less than 24 hours notice.
- 155 PRO MMA
David Derby vs
Jay Watts
Watts who is a boxer
throws a punch from "4 feet" away and Derby shoots in
and takes him down against the cage. Derby takes an arm bar for the win.
Winner by arm bar at 17 seconds of round 1 David Derby.
ISCF HQ Addition: We
are just wondering WHY Pro "BOXER"
Jay Watts (2-8) is fighting in
an MMA bout... And wondering WHY this bout was over in only 17
seconds... What do we smell here?
- 170 PRO MMA
Douglas Lima Vs
Josh Hancock
Hancock throws some
high head kicks, but Lima back out of range until he was ready to land
some strikes of his own. Lima steps in and lands a few punches that made
Hancock back up and then cover. Hancock falls to the ground and
Lima begins to throw strikes which made the referee stop the bout.
Winner by referee stoppage at 37 seconds of
round 1 Douglas Lima.
- It is unknown why these Amateur MMA Fighters did
not fight on this event.

ISCF Loses
A Young Amateur
MMA Fighter As John Adams
Passes Away
Special e-mail sent to
the ISCF
This e-mail is to
inform everyone at the ISCF and all over
the United States that Amateur MMA Lightweight
John Adams passed away March 9th 2007 in a
tragic car accident.
John was an outstanding MMA fighter who trained hard
and dedicated himself to the sport. I remember his first fight against Charlie
Carpenter. John went all three rounds with NO WATER (WOW!)
He always told me that he loved cage fighting and it was his dream to one day
become a fighter. I got
John the registration form and he filled it out and sent it in. When I
told him he was finally registered to fight I thought he was gonna cry he was so
happy. His last fight was held in Grain Valley, Missouri on September 9th, 2006
at Clash in the Cage 6 against Ryan Witten. I've never seen
someone dominate a fight the way John did that night. Leaving us with
his amateur record at 1-1. John will never be forgotten in his hometown
of Rolla, Missouri. In our eyes he was already a champion.

NOT AN
ISCF Sanctioned Event!
To reply to those
who have been calling the ISCF, back on
February 17th, 2007, there was an Amateur MMA event called "Ramada Inn
The Cage III". This event was held in St. Joe Missouri.
From what we have been informed by several fighters and
trainers, the promoter of this event informed several people that this was an
ISCF Sanctioned Event. When these trainers
and fighters asked where the ISCF Event
Representative was, the Promoter, (Rob Meritt -Spelling?-), told them
that the Event Representative was Steve Crawford and he "No
Showed".
For the record, this event was "NOT"
Sanctioned by the ISCF!
From what we have discovered, it was not sanctioned at all. His
matchmaker did contact Mr. Crawford to inquire about ISCF Sanctioning. Mr. Crawford informed him
of what he had to do to get his event sanctioned (Which is Missouri State
Law). However, Mr. Meritt never contacted Mr. Crawford again
or anyone here at the ISCF. For future
reference, please note what it says at the top of our ISCF Events page:
NOTICE: If you have been
told that a certain event is an ISCF Sanctioned
Event and it is NOT Listed on these pages, then it IS NOT an
ISCF Sanctioned Event! If You know of such an
event, please notify us by e-mail at

WOW!
What a Fuss Over Something So Simple...
From Steve Fossum -
ISCF
It appears that the
article we posted below had a few people not too pleased with being associated
with it. The key word here is "Associated" and I'd
like you to remember it at the end. Those who called upset were not even the
focus point of the article. They were just associated with the main
topic.
One thing to point out though is that the focus point of the
article (which was written by an outside writer who submitted it to the ISCF) is that the writers main point of attack (If
you want to call it an attack) was at the ISCF
for allowing a Pro MMA fighter to fight as an Amateur on an ISCF Sanctioned event. We didn't want to hide the
fact that "WE" made an error, so we posted the article. What many do
not know is that there were A LOT more people listed in the article that the
writer was basically "Throwing under the bus" per say at their
practices of business in the MMA World. We spoke to the author and expressed why
we thought these people should be deleted from the article. We also took out a
lot of additional personal "Opinions" of the writer towards some of
the fighters and promoters in the article.
What the writer found interesting was the connection between
this one fighter and the promotions he was associated with. According to the
writer he thought he was pointing out a "Smoking Gun" bit of
news which we thought wasn't necessary to make the point. As he discovered these
ties, from that point on his article snowballed into several other findings that
the writer thought was of interest to the MMA World and directly related to the
fighter in question. Turns out that the ISCF
was not the only event this Pro MMA fighter was allowed to fight on as an
amateur, which is where the article expanded into other areas.
Since it's posting last night we have had contact with 2 of the
promoters in question who the writer speaks about and one fighter/promoter. The
first person we heard from was Chad Bergmeier of Iowa. Mr. Bergmeier
took the time to explain to us that the writer had some facts wrong about
promoting MMA in Iowa. What we discovered was that the writer was writing mainly
about "Amateur" MMA and his story read as though he meant both Amateur
and Pro MMA. That was fixed and the word "Amateur" placed into
the article about Iowa rules and regulations where needed.
Earlier today, Promoter Kris Ottem called us to inform
us that she is not a Promoter of Ironman challenge. The writer had given
us sources to check to confirm this and Ottem's web site address where
we found the Ironman Challenge posters. Our staff here called some
trainers and verified that Ottem's Northstar Promotions was associated
with the Ironman Challenge, which according to Ottem today, it
is not. So for the record, Travis Fulton is the sole promoter and
matchmaker for Ironman Challenge and Ottem's Northstar Promotions is not
associated with the event. Travis Fulton is the matchmaker for Ottem's
Northstar Promotions though.
Finally, last night we received an e-mail from Travis
Fulton. I won't go into detail what the mail said because he may think we
have done him wrong again by sharing the content with you here. I will just say
it was not a "Nice" e-mail. Mr. Fulton also called the
office here last night when were out, and left a message for us. I personally
returned his e-mail with my number asking him to call me back, but no call was
made. Fulton wanted to make it clear he did not matchmake the Iowa Kickfest
Events, so we correctly noted this on the story. Fulton called us again
today and was asked to hold, but he didn't want to and hung up. We called him
back but got no answer.
It seems that there are some issues that need to be addressed
here. What Mr. Fulton needs to know is that we here at the ISCF had NO Intention of insulting him as a
Promoter or Fighter. The writer himself found it a surprise that Mr. Fulton
had fought the fighter in question in his article "4" times in
less than 4 months, which you have to admit, is a lot. From there, he took off
on some issues in his first draft of the article. Before posting his
article, we deleted quite a bit from that "First Draft" before the
first posting of the article. If Mr. Fulton is still angry about the
article, we're sorry. However, what are we sorry for? That a writer wanted to
point out an ISCF error and his name was
brought into the conversation because of "Association?"
Lets not miss the point that the ISCF was
also attacked in the article, but we still posted it.
Here is something to think about Travis... In my
kickboxing career I had a lot of fights, but I never fought pro and I never
fought any "Big Name" opponents on a big show. So by having a
lot of fights, shouldn't I be talked about? Well, the truth is, "NO!"
Having a lot of fights and having a lot of Great fights against well
known Great fighters are two "VERY" different things.
People don't talk about Steve Fossum as a fighter because I wasn't one
of the TOP DOGS! When you "ARE" a Top Dog you
are going to be talked about by a lot of people. Some will praise you and some
will down you, but what counts is that "They are still talking about
you!"
This is what happens when you're a star in your field. People
talk crap about all well known athletes as well as praise them. You have read
many times the slaps top MMA fighters have taken such as Tito Ortiz, Chuck
Lidell, Dan Severn, The Shamrocks, Randy Couture and the list goes on and
on. They don't stop and reply... They just keep moving forward which is why they
are still "Top Dogs!" The critics talk a lot of crap about
other athletes in other sports as well, baseball, football, basketball,
whatever...but they too, continue to keep moving forward and they pay very
little attention to some article that has them associated with someone else.
Here is something else to think about in regards to my comment,
"Having a lot of fights and having a lot of Great fights against well known
Great fighters are two "VERY" different things."...
People bagged on a boxer named
Julio Cesar Chavez. Remember him? they bagged on
him for only fighting as they said, "Taxi Drivers". However,
he must have fought some pretty tough Taxi Cab Drivers because he sure
made a name for himself. I didn't know all these great boxers were "Taxi
Cab" drivers, but heck, if someone wrote that they were, well, then
they must... right?
Before many of us knew who
Julio Cesar Chavez was, he had already had his
hand raised as a Champion many times. Before
Julio Cesar Chavez lost a bout he had gone 91-0! Many say he had fought those so called "Taxi
Cab drivers" during that time, but again, I had no idea these guys all
drove Taxi's... I had only heard of them as Great boxers...
During his 91-0 run he started off by winning the WBC Super
Featherweight Title against
Mario Martinez (51-10-2, September 13th,
1984) and defended it "NINE" times! He also won
the WBA Lightweight Title against
Mario Martinez (47-6, on November 21st, 1987).
He unified the WBC and WBA Lightweight Titles on October 19th, 1988 against
Jose Luis Ramirez (102-9, October 29th, 1988).
He won the WBC Light Welterweight Title on May 13th, 1989 against
Roger Mayweather (56-13). He unified the
WBC and IBF Light Welterweight Titles on March 17th, 1990 when he defeated
Meldrick Taylor (38-8-1) defending both
titles several times, including the well known "Mega Mexico fight"
against Greg Haugen (40-10-1, February 20th, 1993)
that hosted 132,247 spectators at the Azteca Stadium in Mexico City, Mexico. He
also fought to a majority draw against
Pernell Whitaker (40-4-1, September 10th,
1993) in a defense of his WBC Welterweight Title. Wow, and all those
guys drove Taxis?
His first loss came on January 29th, 1994, 14 years after he
turned Pro. In this bout Chavez suffered the first knockdown of his
career and was penalized one point in the 7th and 11th for low blows. He lost
this bout and his WBC title to
Frankie Randall (59-18-1) by an akward
split decision of 114-113, 113-114 and 111-116. Four months later in May of
2005, he avenged his only loss and won the title back, stopping Randall
in the 8th round. He defended his WBC title 3 more times before meeting a
fighter you may have heard of named
Oscar De La Hoya (38-4) on June 7th,
1996. The much younger 23 year old De La Hoya beat the 34 year old Chavez
by TKO on June 7th, 1984. Chavez won 5 more bouts before getting his
rematch with De La Hoya in September of 1998, a bout he lost by TKO in
round 9 at the Thomas & Mack Center in Las Vegas, Nevada. After that bout he
went 7-3 in his last 10 fights, fighting in his final bout on September 17th,
2005 at the America West Arena in Phoenix, Arizona where he lost to a fighter
named Grover Wiley (30-8) in the 5th round. In
the end Chavez had fought 116 times, winning 108 (87 wins by KO/TKO),
losing 6 with 2 draws. What is my point? It's all about WHO he fought
and more importantly, "They are still talking about him!"
OK, you fought a guy without many fights 4 times... Many would
say the guy is a "Chump" because he hasn't won a lot. I'm not
saying it, just trying to make a point here so follow along. Has Travis
Fulton fought a lot of "Chumps?" Some will say yes, some
will say no, it's not my place to judge so I don't and never do. You have been
in the ring with some of the best such as
Jeremy Horn (Over 100 MMA fights himself),
Dan Severn, Rich Franklin, Forrest Griffin, Mike Whitehead just to name
a few. Sure, you may have some fights in there that some will ask "Why
did you fight him?" But lets face it Travis, you fought, those
questioning you didn't, and if they did, are they Travis Fulton? I don't
know of anyone in the MMA world that has never heard of you. Saying this, WHY
would anyone here at the ISCF want to hurt
you? We don't and I don't believe the story writer did either. It's easy for
many to be a critic about you with this
Mike Kofoot guy but you fighting him was not the
point of the article. You were just part of "HIS -
Mike Kofoot's" story.
What needs to be known is that the issues the writer brought up
in the article are indeed issues that should be and need to be addressed to
continue the positive growth of MMA. Every time something like this happens (Pros
Vs Amateurs) it gives the Boxing Commissions and Dana White's story
about the need to outlaw - ban Amateur MMA more fuel and ammo to attack MMA
with. Especially now as they see the sport of MMA (Fighters, Promotions and
Fans) rapidly growing and their sport of boxing is slowing down at the box
office more and more. So you shouldn't worry too much what all these people are
saying about you. The fact that "They are still talking about you"
speaks positively enough. remember, you were just "Associated"
with the story.

You Gotta Give It Up For MMA Fighter
Mike Kofoot
His
Record Expresses The Yin & Yang Of MMA Regulations
Special
Article Sent To The ISCF
Requested Additions and Corrections
Were
made by the ISCF at 8:10 PM and 9:25 PM, March
5th.
If there were ever a great example of how the sport of MMA
should "NOT" be done, one only needs to point to an MMA fighter such
as Mike Kofoot. As many who read the ISCF pages know, the ISCF
takes pride in assuring amateurs don't get matched up against Pro MMA fighters.
However, there are still many unsanctioned shows done by promoters who could
care less about fighter safety and have no problem doing this. Take for example
a promotion called
Extreme Contact Fighting (XCF). This event has no
worries when it comes to mismatching pro and amateur MMA fighters together,
especially
Mike Kofoot.
Kofoot's first MMA bout was a Pro MMA bout
back on the
Extreme Challenge card back on June 30th, 2006.
For purposes of this story, you readers need to know that once you fight as a
Professional, you can not go back and fight amateur... Unless you
Kofoot or one of his promoters that is...
Who apparently think this is OK... When it's not.
Fighters like
Kofoot have been hurting MMA for years along
with those mismatch making promoters just looking to put bodies in a ring or a
cage and collect their $$ at the front door, not caring how the fighters exit
the back, whether by stretcher or limo. Below you will read about
Kofoot and why fighters like him are a
negative story in the modern excitement of todays mainstream MMA.
While those such as the UFC, IFL and the ISCF are taking steps forward for the sport, these
other "Do as they want" individuals keep taking 2 steps back.
However with the strength of MMA today, it's hard to lose ground, even with the
ol, "One step forward, two steps back" incidents playing out.
It seems no matter what happens in the negative, MMA continues to surge forward
at a rapid pace.
The ISCF attention was
first brought to
Kofoot when they banned him from all ISCF Sanctioned events until he learns to respect
the Amateur - Pro Rule.
Kofoot was allowed to fight on the ISCF sanctioned
Fall Kickfest back on October 7th, 2006 in
Waterloo, Iowa, USA as an amateur.
How? Although event Promoter Russ O'Connell had
sent in his fighter list prior to his event, his MMA matchmaker (Travis Fulton) never submitted
Kofoot's name or his bout to the ISCF before the event for the mandatory fighter
background check. Unlike all ISCF Event
Representatives today, back then the ISCF
event representative who worked the event was not familiar with the Mandatory
ISCF Amateur requirements.
On this event
Kofoot fought another Pro MMA fighter
Nick Baker.
Baker on the other hand already had 4 Pro
MMA bouts himself back in 2005 so the million dollar question is... "Why
was it even billed as an Amateur bout?" This was a pro bout from start
to finish but for some reason, it was announced and recorded as an amateur bout,
which was mistake number 1 . Despite his layoff
Baker had little problem with
Kofoot who
Baker took out in only 25 seconds of the
first round.
However
Kofoot may have seen his loss coming. Along
with fighting illegally as an amateur,
Kofoot isn't much of a fighter either. This
event had several pro-vs amateur issues due to matchmaker and fighter
Travis Fulton who is no longer allowed to
matchmake ISCF Sanctioned events.
Fulton was not the event promoter but our
sources say he was the MMA matchmaking. However according to Fulton, he
tells us "I have never been the matchmaker for Kickfest."
So, all we can say is that either
Fulton or someone else matched
Fulton a fight on the October Kickfest event.
However, no one told the ISCF there were
ANY Pro MMA bouts on the card. in fact, the ISCF
found out AFTER the event by checking the fcfighter database. For those
who don't know
Travis Fulton has over 200 MMA fights (244
as of this writing to be exact).
Fulton was matched up with a fighter named
Belal Ahlmaidi who happened to be fighting in
his FIRST MMA Fight.
Fulton took care of business with an arm bar
submission in the second round.
Kofoot continues to fight as an amateur as
well as a Pro. It appears he comes in to fight as a pro to help his opponents
fight record since as of today he is now 2-12 as a pro and not much better as an
amateur at 6-12-1. Among those 6 wins are three straight victories over one
opponent, Rodney Arp. Their first meeting was a draw at
Ironman Challenge 15 which is (Ironman Challenge) by
Travis Fulton. The next three times they met,
Kofoot won all three on the same promotion,
just different days,
Ironman Challenge 18, 20 & 21.
With a record of 3-10-1 as an amateur and 0-3 as a Pro,
Rodney Arp also fought
Travis Fulton early this past month on one of
his Ironman Challenge events.
Fulton won the bout.
You see, the point here is, it's because of fighters who fight
as amateurs AND Pros and matchmakers who match them up is why the ISCF was forced to require all Amateur fighters,
fighting on ISCF Sanctioned events as of
January 1st 2007 to be directly registered
with the ISCF and not just
listed in fcfighters database as were the requirements in 2006.
By the time
Kofoot faced
Baker he already had 7 Pro MMA fights.
However in his 7 pro fights before this event he had not done so well as a
fighter winning 1 while losing 7. But here's where
Kofoot becomes "Special".
He had also fought in 7 amateur bouts before these two met...switching back and
forth from Pro fights to Amateur fights. In his first several months of fighting
his record looked like a jumping bean from pro to amateur bouts and back
and forth again and again.
- PRO: June 30th, 2006: Lost his MMA
debut and also his pro debut to
Caio Malta by Submission in only 44 seconds at an
event called Extreme Challenge 67.
- PRO: July 1st, 2006: Lost to
Joey Fingalson by strikes at 1:03 of round 2 on a
NorthStar
Fighting Association event.
- AMATEUR: July 8th, 2006: In his
amateur debut, having already fought as a Pro MMA fighter, he lost to
Jeff Bunger by Decision at an event called Biker
Brawl put on by Extreme Contact Fighting (XCF).
- PRO: July 22nd, 2006: His first win
came against
Johnny George by TKO (Due to an Injury) at
2:40 of round 1 on another Extreme Contact Fighting (XCF) event.
- AMATEUR: August 8th, 2006: He lost to
John Sankey by Strikes/Submission in round 1 at the
unsanctioned Extreme Contact Fighting: Sturgis "Day 2"
event.
- AMATEUR: August 9th, 2006: The next
day he lost to
Billy Walters by Submission in round one, again at
the unsanctioned Extreme Contact Fighting: Sturgis "Day 3"
event.
- AMATEUR: August 10th, 2006: Finally
his first amateur win against
James Boyce by Submission in round 1, the following
day at the unsanctioned Extreme Contact Fighting: Sturgis "Day 4"
event.
- AMATEUR: August 19th, 2006: Another
loss to Ben Thoma by Submission at 1:26 of round 1, at yet
another unsanctioned Extreme Contact Fighting III event.
- PRO: September 3rd, 2006: He next
lost to
Travis Fulton by KO at :51 seconds into round 1 at
the event, Royalty Fight Night 1.
- AMATEUR: September 9th, 2006: Only 6
days after being KO'ed by
Fulton he fought again and lost to
*Josh Stamp by
Submission at 1:43 of round 1 at the
Iowa Challenge 30.
- (*) This one was pretty laughable in
regards to matchmaking. When Stamp and Kofoot met in the ring
for this "Amateur" bout hosted by the "Iowa Challenge
30", stamp had a Pro MMA record of 25-12.... Since his return to the
ring as an amateur, Stamp fought in 2 amateur bouts in 2006, This one
promoted by Iowa Challenge and in November of last year, he fought as an
amateur again at the Ironman Challenge 15.
- PRO: September 14th, 2006: Not even 2
weeks ago he was KO'ed by
Fulton. Now, he is matched up against
Fulton again and this time loses by Submission due
to a cut in round 1 at the event called Fightclub
Underground.
- AMATEUR: September 22nd, 2006:
Another loss to
Johnny George (Of which will be 3) by
Submission at 1:40 of round 1 at the
Ironman Challenge 10: Season 2 Opener.
- PRO: September 23rd, 2006: A loss to
Mark Racine in round 1 at the
NorthStar
Fighting Association: Night of the Beast. in Fargo, North Dakota,
USA.
- PRO: September 23rd, 2006: "ANOTHER"
match-up and loss to
Travis Fulton by a Slam Submission in round 1 at the
NorthStar
Fighting Association: Night of the Beast. in Fargo, North Dakota,
USA.
The above is only the fight history of
Mike Kofoot up until October of last year.
It continues through the present of 2007 including yet "ANOTHER"
meeting with
Travis Fulton on December 15th of last year where
yet again...Travis won.
As many MMA people know, Iowa is a "HotBed" for MMA
action. Those who know MMA know that some of the greatest MMA fighters came from
Iowa such as
Pat Militech and many others. This was one
of the many reasons the ISCF choose the
U.S. Cellular Center in Cedar
Rapids Iowa for the First Annual
2007-
ISCF MMA WORLD CLASSIC Amateur MMA
Tournament. However despite the fact that Iowa is loaded with tons of
exciting MMA events with lots of great fighters, the question of safety and
fairness have come up time and time again. As the philosophy of "Yin &
Yang" goes, along with the Good comes the Bad.
Iowa is also loaded with tons of unsanctioned amateur events and amateur
mismatches. Unlike many states, Iowa not only does not oversee Amateur MMA but
there are no State regulations for Amateur MMA sanctioning either. In many of
the states where the State Boxing or Athletic Commission do not oversee MMA,
their laws say that their events must be regulated by a "Nationally
Recognized Sanctioning Body". However, no such law exists in Iowa for
Amateur MMa so it's truly "No Holds Barred" there as far as
Amateur MMA is concerned.
Keep in mind, an event does not need to
be sanctioned to be a good event.
This will be said for several reasons. First, this article is not an ad for
the ISCF. in fact, the person writing this
is not even an official or promoter with the ISCF,
just a fight fan. Second, because there are very few good sanctioning bodies out
there for MMA. Unlike the stern and often bothersome requirements for safety,
fairness and general event regulations of the ISCF,
many like ISKA and KICK are hardly good "Kickboxing"
sanctioning bodies let alone knowledgable MMA Sanctioning Bodies. At best these
orgs are simply "Rubber Stamp" orgs that sell their letters
for $$ just to help promoters who do not want to be regulated please the State
Commission requirements. I will note that the ISCF
is the only MMA Sanctioning body that does amateur fighter ring experience
background checks and has both pro and amateur Rankings. Some of the other
kickboxing orgs. that have added MMA Sanctioning under their wing such as USKBA
and WKA have event listings and news both Pre and post.
Again, there are both good events and questionable events. There are both
good and bad promoters and it's the bad ones that give MMA a bad name to others
watching. There are still some good shows so don't let this article offend you
if you are associated with one. Just keep in mind that in most cases,
unsanctioned fight events often have no fighter medical insurance, questionable
ringside officials, questionable medical staff and not to mention, the many
occurrences of pros fighting amateurs. Don't let this article sell you on this.
Check out the past results of these Pro Vs Amateur mismatches on the fcfighter
database for yourself on some of these promotions that are associated with some
of the bouts above.
ADDED to the Above on 2-5-07 at 8:10 PM
The above article was mainly about AMATEUR
Regulations and there may have been some confusion about State Regulations in
the State of Iowa for MMA. According to MMA Promoter Chad Bergmeier "The
Iowa State Athletic Commission is fully in charge of sanctioning Pro MMA events
and has been for at least 12 years now. To be a Pro MMA Promoter in Iowa there
are several things a promoter must have:
- A $5,000 surety bond to have a license.
- All contracts and list of officials and HEP B & C are all due 7 days
before the show.
- State Fees:
- 5% of the gross gate goes to the Commission.
- Local sales tax (5-7%) is also collected by the States Deputy Rep the night
of the show (with a 21 day grace period if needed)
According to the IKF web page (CLICK
HERE) that has posted information about what States allow or
don't allow Kickboxing and or MMA, and any details about regulations, the State
of Iowa's notice that was sent to the IKF
on 5-31-06 reads as follows:
__________________________
MMA is legal in Iowa, amateur requires no
state involvement, and there are no rules, professional is overseen by the
boxing commissioner, requires a license and a $5000.00 performance bond for the
sales tax and athletic tax, of 5%. Each, contract must be signed between the
contestants and the promoter and delivered to the boxing commissioner 7 days
before an event. The commissioner must have a 30 day notice before the event
that an event is going to be held in pro. All rules must be adhered to similar
to boxing.
Submitted by: Dave Neil, Interim Director, Iowa Workforce
Development
_____________________________
In regards to Amateur MMA, the State of Iowa submitted on 3-18-85:
______________________________
Amateur
MMA: The Iowa Athletic Commission has no jurisdiction over amateur events. Must
have a nationally recognized sanctioning body sanctioning the event not owned or
operated by the promoter.
Submitted by: Byron Orton, State of Iowa.
_____________________________
However, this may be the law, but this amateur law is certainly not followed
by all amateur promoters.
Amateurs MMA is not sanctioned but the state of Iowa and like in other
states, the State is trying to ban AMATEUR MMA shows. This surprises no one
here. Some of you may remember the article awhile back on here about UFC's
President Dana White discussion to the
ABC (Association of
Boxing Commissions) about amateur MMA. The ABC had their annual
convention in Las Vegas a couple of years back and while they were all in Vegas,
White invited them all to the UFC Training Center for an introduction
meeting about MMA. It's no secret that White has been talking with
nearly every state in the country telling them they need to BAN Amateur MMA.
It's also no secret now that he has told all these states that "They -
The UFC" should be the ONLY organization allowed to regulate
MMA. At that Vegas meeting, White was asked what he thought about
Amateur MMA, in which he replied, quote - unquote, "There is no such
thing as Amateur MMA."
Bergmeier went on to tell us that "PRO MMA is not allowed
in a boxing ring." This may be true to the rules, but certainly not
true on all the Pro shows in Iowa. Remember, for every good promoter, there are
others doing bad things, such as matching up amateurs and pros to fight each
other. In addition, several sources have informed us here at the ISCF that although PRO MMA is not allowed in a
boxing ring according to Iowa Rules,
we also know that "PRO"
fights "HAVE" and "STILL ARE" happening in
boxing rings. If the law to ban Amateur MMA in Iowa is passed, then the
sanctioning will only be done by the state for PRO MMA events which means that
promoters would work directly with the State Commission. As in other states
where the commission oversees MMA, the promoters would have a choice whether or
not to sanction with the ISCF, just like a
Pro Boxing Promoter can choose in Professional Boxing. They would not have to,
but they could if they wanted to.

Chad Bergmeier has been promoting MMA
Events since 1997.
Currently he manages over 38 fighters which includes
fighters in the UFC, PRIDE, IFL, King of the Cage, WEC and many others.

Will ISCF
Retire Din Thomas' World Title?

Over 6 years ago,
Din Thomas of Orlando, Florida, USA (20-6, 5'10", 155) won
the very first ISCF world title. Thomas
won the ISCF Lightweight World title on
August 25th, 2000 in Augusta, Georgia, USA. He defeated Jens "The
Pulverizer" Pulver (Team
Extreme) by heel hook at :35 seconds of round 2.
When Thomas won the title the weightclass was the ISCF Welterweight division under the original ISCF Weightclasses.
Thomas has never defended the title nor has he shown
any interest to. The other issue is even if he was available to, what would he
charge? And finally, Thomas may not even recognize the title now since it was so
long ago. Since winning his ISCF World
Title in 2000, he went on to fight in the UFC attaining a record of 4-2.
Having never fought as an amateur Thomas was 10-1 the
day he fought for the ISCF title and today
his record stands at 22-6.
What do you think? Should the ISCF
Retire his title and make it available for another fighter? The question is
linked to other possibilities of WHO should be allowed to fight for an
ISCF World title. Many top ranked Pro MMA
fighters ranked in the ISCF are signed
with promotional companies such as UFC, Pride or other smaller promotional
companies like King of the Cage who won't allow them to fight for another
Promoter, yet the title they win is "Their" title and not a
ranked title such as the ISCF. However,
who cares right? The MONEY does more talking here than any letters of a
sanctioning body right? At least that is the general consensus....
What does Thomas think? The ISCF
has never been able to get ahold of him and ask him directly what he thinks, or
even if he cares... With all this being said, don't be surprised if you start
seeing lower ranked fighters fighting for Pro ISCF
World Titles in the VERY near future. After all, "Someone"
should be "ISCF World Champion"
and maybe that someone is You!
