NEW TOWN, North Dakota (March 24, 2009) – North Dakota-native Chris Tuchscherer captured the first Sovereign Nations Mixed Martial Arts (SNMMA) title by defeating veteran heavyweight Brandon “The Iron Lion” Lee Hinkle, headlining “Beatdown 4” last Saturday night before a sold-out crowd at 4 Bears Casino in New Town, North Dakota.
SNMMA links federally recognized tribes throughout the United States and Canada. SNMMA’s mission is to develop, promote and help regulate mixed-martial-arts in a fair and professional manner by federally recognized tribes that are sovereign nations.
Former NCAA, Division II wrestling champion Hinkle (14-10-1, 8 (T)KO, 4 Submissions), fighting out of Columbus, Ohio, didn’t have any answers for 2-time NCAA, Div. II All-America wrestler Tuchscherer (16-1-0, 5 (T)KOs, 7 Submissions), who hails from nearby Fargo.
Tuchscherer, who trains regularly with UFC heavyweight champion Brock Lesnar in Minneapolis, controlled the action from start to finish, which came at 4:43 of the fourth round, when the referee stopped the fight due to a series of damaging strikes.
“Chris is a great athlete who takes the sport and his career very serious like a true professional must in order to have any kind of future in this demanding sport,” SNMMA president Pat Packineau said. “The SNMMA is honored to have the heavyweight title go to a person such as Chris Tuchscherer, who respects what the sport has to offer as he continues his journey to become one of the top fighters in the world.” Minnesota Martial Arts Academy welterweight Nick “The Carnie” Lentz (15-3-1) won a three-round unanimous decision against ex-UFC fighter Drew Fickett (36-11-0) in the co-feature.

Lesnar will be a special guest at “Beatdown 4.”

Hinkle-Tuchscherer, recently named the No. 7 best MMA fight in march by Sherdog, features two former college wrestling standouts -- Tuchscherer (15-1-0, 5 (T)KOs, 6 Submissions), from nearby Fargo (ND), a 2-time NCAA, Div. II All-America wrestler and Hinkle (14-9-1, 8 (T)KO, 4 Submissions), fighting out of Columbus, Ohio, a former NCAA, Division II wrestling champion – battling for the vacant SNMMA heavyweight title is scheduled for five, 5-minute rounds (all other fights on the card have three, 3-minute rounds).
Tuchscherer is a member of the Minnesota Martial Arts Academy, which will be well represented on “Beatdown 4,” as well as where Lesnar trains frequently working out with Chris. “Brock is an amazing athlete who I’ve learned a lot from as a fighter and person,” Tuchscherer said. “I’m not intimidated by him because we’re good friends. Sometimes it’s like two brothers working out and we get after each other pretty good. It does get frustrating at times working with somebody as strong and massive as Brock. Hell, he’s the UFC champion only three fights into his MMA career. He’s a beast. Brock Lesnar is a whole other animal. I’m blessed to work out with the past two years It was an honor to be chosen by him as one of his fulltime workout partners, not just somebody for him to train with. It tells me I’m somebody near the top and one day I hope to be where he is.
“Fighting for the SNMMA title means a lot to me and I’m very glad to be part of it, especially the first one. I’m from North Dakota, too, and it’s great to have this opportunity. I lived in Rugby, which isn’t too far from 4 Bears, so I hope to have some fans there. I moved to Arizona with my mother but later went back to North Dakota and wrestled at Bottineau High. I went on to wrestle in college at North Dakota State and Minnesota.”
Hinkle is a UFC veteran who also is 2-0 as a pro boxer. He has been inactive since July, 2007, but during his career he’s beaten Sean Gannon (who defeated Kimbo Slice) and been in against the likes of Jeff Monson and Jason Lambert.
“Hinkle trains at Hammer House and has a wrestling background like me,” Chris noted. “He was a Division 2 national champion (West Liberty State) and has been around many years. He’s fought some really good guys and done well. Brandon’s been off a while but I’m preparing to fight him at his best. I never take anybody lightly and I’m sure he’s prepared for me. I’ve trained hard to beat him and put on a great show. I want to defeat him, win the first SNMMA title, and go from there.”

Saturday, March 21 at 4 Bears Casino in N. Dakota with Special Guest Brock Lesner
NEW TOWN, North Dakota (March 10, 2009) – The first Sovereign Nations Mixed Martial Arts (SNMMA) championship will be contested Saturday night, March 21 at “Beatdown 4” when Brandon “The Iron Lion” Lee Hinkle battles Chris Tuchscherer in the main event at 4 Bears Casino in New Town, North Dakota. UFC heavyweight champion Brock Lesner is scheduled to make a special appearance.
SNMMA links federally recognized tribes throughout the United States and Canada. SNMMA’s mission is to develop, promote and help regulate mixed-martial-arts in a fair and professional manner by federally recognized tribes that are sovereign nations.
Sherdog named Hinkle-Tuchscherer as one of its top 10 MMA fights for March. Hinkle (14-9-1, 8 (T)KO, 4 Submissions), fighting out of Columbus, Ohio, is a former NCAA, Division II wrestling champion. He is also 2-0 as a professional boxer. Tuchscherer (15-1-0, 5 (T)KOs, 6 Submissions), from nearby Fargo (ND), was a 2-time NCAA, Div. II All-America wrestler. Hinkle-Tuchscherer for the vacant SNMMA heavyweight title is scheduled for five, 5-minute rounds (all other fights on the card have three, 3-minute rounds).
“What makes SNMMA different from other native organizations is that it’s not based on race,” SNMMA president Pat Packineau explained. “SNMMA has been created to draw awareness that tribal casinos host numerous mixed-martial-arts events every year and our new organization unites tribes in the sport by having our own championship belt.
Boxers of any race may capture the SNMMA championship, as long as the title fight is contested on federally recognized land or have off-tribal sites approved in advance by the SNMMA board of directors.
“The SNMMA’s goal is to bring notoriety to Native American casino MMA events and recognize the athletes competing on Tribal Lands for SNMMA championships. We’re excited to host the first SNMMA title fight at 4 Bears Casino.”
The Minnesota Martial Arts Academy will be represented by a large continent of Minneapolis and St. Paul based fighters on the card. Former UFC fighter Drew Fickett (36-10-0) takes on welterweight Nick “The Carnie” Lentz (14-3-1) in a much-anticipated co-feature.
Fighting on the undercard is featherweight Clint Godfrey (7-1-1) vs. Rich Taylor (5-1-0), lightweight Marshall Martin (10-5-0) vs. Dan Casey (12-2-0), heavyweight Jessie Wallace (3-0-0) vs. Zak Jenson (6-2-0), lightweights Jon Knutson (2-3-0) vs.Pablo Garza (2-0-0), light heavyweight Jim Miltonberger (1-1-0) vs. Bruce Nelson (17-25-1), middleweight Josh Rosaaen (2-3-0) vs. Ryan Braun (2-4-0), heavyweight Seth Harrison (1-1-0) vs. Tyler Bartholemew (0-1-0), light heavyweight Dane Sayers (3-0) vs. Shane Dezee (8-3-0). All fights and fighters are subject to change.
