Judo Olympian Adler Volmar turns to MMA
A new journey begins for Adler Volmar this week.
The two-time Olympian in judo will make his mixed martial arts debut Friday at the Revolution Fighting Championships at Gusman Center in Miami.
The 31-year-old Coral Springs father of three said he started thinking about mixed martial arts even before his second Olympic appearance in Beijing, where he lost in the first round
With a background in judo and karate, Volmar has been working on his striking at Punch Fitness in Deerfield Beach since October.
"When you are at the elite level of one sport it gives you a little edge, but it does feel like I am starting again," Volmar said. "I know people mostly think of me as the judo guy and expect throws.
"I am training to be an overall fighter. ... I want to see if I like it. This is a very different sport."
Volmar has watched mixed martial arts with his wife and children on television. He has gone to several shows, including the Warriors Collide Series at War Memorial and Revolution Fighting Championships. But stepping into the cage will be eye-opening.
"I am definitely ready," said Volmar, who has dropped from 230 to 205 pounds.
Born in Miami and raised in Cap Haitien, Haiti, a gang attack in Haiti prompted his mother to get her son involved with judo at age 13. Two years later he earned a black belt and won a national title. He was a national hero in Haiti when he went to the 1996 Atlanta Olympics at 19.
"Every time I go into something new I work very hard because I want to do good stuff," Volmar said. "I believe in hard work. Maybe I have faith that God will do something good.
"Judo teaches you how to handle anything, especially adversity. It makes you strong mentally and physically. I think I could be great in MMA. I have the skill.
"I am capable of doing a lot more in life. In many ways I do feel I am starting over again. I am making the sacrifice again, focusing 100 percent on my training. I am devoting more time toward a different goal. I am not walking in there a two-time Olympian, I am walking in there humble."
Inside the ring:
2009 Prospect of the Year Yuriorkis (El Ciclon) Gamboa (13-0, 11 KOs), of Miami, will fight Walter Estrada (35-8, 24 KOs) in an eight-round, featherweight fight on part of the Gunslingers' pro boxing card Friday at University Center Arena at Nova Southeastern.
The show will be televised on ESPN Friday Night Fights.
Estrada is hoping this fight puts him back on track. After starting out his career with 20 straight wins, the southpaw has lost four of his last six bouts. Gamboa is rising quickly in the sport and is undefeated in 13 fights. As an amateur, Gamboa won a 2004 Olympic gold medal for the Cuban national team. He defected in 2006.
Also on the card is Miami's Richard Gutierrez (24-2-1, 14 KOs) against Jesus Gonzalez (24-1, 13 KOs) in a 10-round, junior middleweight bout. Colombia's undefeated Breidis Prescott (20-0, 18 KOs), who recently upset highly touted Amir Kahn with a 54-second knockout in Manchester, England, will face Humberto Toledo (34-5-2, 20 KOs) in a 10-round, lightweight match. In a four-round junior middleweight bout, two-time World Amateur Champion Erislandy Lara (3-0, 2 KOs) will face Keith Gross (3-0, 1 KO).
Others on the card are West Palm Beach's Erik Leander (5-0, 4 KOs), Miami's Ramon Garbey (18-4, 13 KOs) and Miramar's Xavier Burgos, making his pro debut.
The prefight weigh-in is Thursday at 5 p.m. at the University Center Arena VIP Club Box.
Tickets are $85, $50, $25 and $15, and available through the arena box office or http://www.Ticketmaster.com
