BAMMA 11 - Card Updates

Postby keithlewis » Fri Oct 12, 2012 12:54 pm

Three More Bouts Added to BAMMA 11 Dec. 1


BAMMA is proud to announce Tom Breese vs. Warren Kee to the BAMMA 11 card at Birmingham's NIA on 1st December, for the very first BAMMA Lonsdale British Welterweight title showdown. The Mixed Martial Arts match was previously scheduled for BAMMA 10 but Kee was forced to withdraw due to injury and was replaced by Jack Magee.

Birmingham homeboy, Tom Breese, is one of the UK's most exciting Welterweight prospects. The 20 year old BAMMA fighter stands undefeated with a Pro record of 5-0-0, in which he has stopped all his opponents within two rounds; and has previous Amateur stats of 8-0-0. A nightmare for any opponent on the ground, Breese finished all his fights by Submission until he took Mark Tucker down with knees at BAMMA 9. Breese's BAMMA 10 bout with replacement Jack Magee saw him execute a ruinous triangle win in the first round.

Tom Breese said:

"I've never taken a backward step in my whole professional career and with Kee I'm fighting a guy I was previously matched against. The thing is, I feel like I am evolving on a daily basis in all areas. MMA is my life, not a hobby or just something to do or say I've done. I'm on this thing, to go all the way. Collecting the BAMMA title by going through whoever stands before me is just another move I've got to make."

Team Tsunami's Warren 'Relentless' Kee comes with a record of 7-1-1 and the majority of his wins via 1st or 2nd round TKO. Kee is known for a devastating style in which he likes to grind his opponents down with "elbows, foot stomps and relentless pressure".

Warren Kee said:

"I'm so looking forward to BAMMA 11, especially after injury forced me out of BAMMA 10. Tom Breese is undefeated so it will be a tough test. I've had 12 months of setbacks, but I'm healed now and have all that energy to burn in the cage come December 1st.

I feel I have never performed to anywhere near my ability in any of my past fights, so I will be looking to change that on fight night. This will bring me the win for sure."

BAMMA's Head of Talent Relations, Jude Samuel, said:

"The fight that should have been part of BAMMA 10 now has a home on BAMMA 11 as a Lonsdale British Welterweight Title Fight. Tom's last opponent, replacement Jack Magee pushed him beyond what he had experienced before on BAMMA and brought out the best in him. Kee on the other hand is a totally different kind of fighter and now has the added motivation in fighting for a title. This clash between two exciting prospects will be electric."

(October 12th.12) BAMMA is proud to announce two further Mixed Martial Arts fights to the BAMMA 11 card at Birmingham’s National Indoor Arena on 1st December:

A Lightweight match sees Richie Downes square off against Jeremy Petley, while Jonny Bilton faces Leon Edwards at Welterweight.

Lightweight Fight: Downes vs. Petley

London Fight Factory’s Jeremy Petley returns to the BAMMA cage on the back of a three fight winning streak and a record of 8-4-0. Formidable wherever the fight goes, BAMMA 10 saw Petley score an impressive, Rear-Naked Choke win against Dyson Roberts that wowed fans. (Watch Petley vs. Roberts here: http://www.channel5.com/shows/bamma-10- ... highlights)

Richie Downes (7-1-0-2) has remained undefeated since his 2007 debut, when he lost against the to-be BAMMA Lightweight Champ, Rob Sinclair. Coming off 7 consecutive wins, the Kaobon fighter has cut down opponents with both submissions and strikes.

Downes said: “I am looking forward to fighting on BAMMA 11; it's a great event to showcase my skills. I don't know a great deal about Jeremy, except that he is a tough opponent with a ground game that needs to be respected. I plan on taking this opportunity though and putting on a show for all the fans in attendance. Watch this space!”

Welterweight Fight: Bilton vs. Edwards

Sunderland’s Jonny Bilton, has a professional MMA record of 2-1-0 plus a string of victories at Semi-Pro that saw him win the Total Combat Semi-Pro European title. Both of Bilton’s professional wins have come in the first round and none of his fights have made it past the second, with the bulk of them via submission.

Bilton said: “I’m really excited about fighting on BAMMA and the step up, and I’m going to rise to the occasion. I’ll make sure I win wherever the fight goes. If he wants to stand and bang, I’ll stand and bang; and if he wants to go to the ground, I’ll sort him. Expect fireworks from this fight as I’m going to give it my all. I’m coming back and I’m going to give it 100%.”

20 year old Birmingham fighter, Leon ‘Rocky Edwards,’ also comes with a Professional MMA record of 2-1-0, having been undefeated at Amateur and Semi-Pro over 7 fights. The one loss on his record comes from a DQ.

Leon Edwards said: “I can’t wait to fight on the BAMMA card. There’s no way I’m losing this fight in my home town. If the fight’s standing or on the ground, I don’t care – My opponent’s in trouble and I’m winning this fight.”

BAMMA’s Head of Talent Relations, Jude Samuel, said:

“A lot has been talked about hot prospect Richie Downes, who is on a 7 fight winning streak. He takes on Jeremy Petley who has come off a win in what many considered the fight of the night on BAMMA 10, against Dyson Roberts. This will be a fast paced technical battle if both of their last performances are anything to go by.

“Sunderland's Jonny Bilton vs. Birmingham’s Leon Edwards is a fight that promises to bring a charged and volatile mixture of youth and hunger. This is a fight during which fans should avoid blinking.”

Greyson-Creighton, Allen-Roberts, Taylor-Nunes at BAMMA 11


BAMMA is proud to announce a Bantamweight Mixed Martial Arts bout to the BAMMA 11 card at Birmingham's National Indoor Arena on 1st December, as Nathan Greyson and Bryan Creighton go to battle.

Nathan Greyson fights out of Team Titan with a 3-1-0 professional record and 5 straight wins at Semi Pro. This explosive, relentlessly aggressive up comer has never yet been the distance and has scored all his victories via TKO. The longest it's taken the 22 year old to dominate an opponent at professional level has been 2 minutes 30 seconds.

British Army Fusilier, Bryan Creighton, moved over to MMA from a successful Thai-boxing career in which he won the following championships:

2005 WAKO Kickboxing and Thai boxing Featherweight
2005 WMF World Championships Bangkok Bronze Featherweight
2006 ISKA British Lightweight Thai boxing
2008 IKF Northwest Lightweight Thai boxing
2008 IKF British Lightweight Thai boxing
2010 Golden Belt Association - Golden Belt Hardcore World Featherweight

Debuting in Professional MMA on short notice, Creighton won his first fight on majority decision in July. A fierce combatant that puts it all on the line, Creighton makes a blistering match for Greyson.

Creighton said:

"After dominating the world of Thai boxing I have transferred my skills from Thai boxing and boxing over to the world of Mixed Martial Arts. I am honoured to be fighting on the biggest show in the UK and I promise to raise the bar in my weight category. I believe I am a well-rounded fighter with many weapons to my arsenal and fans can expect fireworks. My prediction for the fight is pain for my opponent... left , right, left, GOODNIGHT.

"I would like to thank my fans, thank my friends and family for their belief in me and my sponsors, The 2nd Battalion, The Duke of Lancaster's Regiment, Bodytorque Strength & Conditioning, Dead Fast Clothing, Sapphire MMA and TFL Sports Agency."

Greyson said:

"My Message to the fans is don't blink and my message to my opponent is don't blink."

BAMMA's Head of Talent Relations, Jude Samuel, said:

"This fight is about revenge: Creighton beat Greyson's team mate earlier this year and Greyson is looking to settle the score. This; plus the talent, explosivity and heart that these fresh talents bring, make all the right ingredients for a preliminary Fight of the Night. Creighton brings the support of the Fusiliers into the house, and Greyson brings the London crowd, so you can expect some noise when these two go head to head at BAMMA 11."

BAMMA is proud to announce another Lightweight Mixed Martial Arts bout to the BAMMA 11 card, as Marc Allen clashes with Dyson Roberts at Birmingham's National Indoor Arena on 1st December.

Fighting out of Trojan Freefighters with a record of 6-1-0, Marc 'Suplex' Allen has conquered most of his opponents by TKO. A powerful wrestler with a good all round game, Allen's skill set has been well honed through training with an internationally competitive team.

Marc Allen said:

"I'm excited to be back on BAMMA and I am looking to perform better than last time. I'm definitely going for a stoppage this time so I will not be holding back. I think that Dyson is a fairly well rounded fighter and comes out strong, so it's going to be a bloody good fight - quite literally."

Dyson Roberts makes a fierce prospect with a history of smashing his way to 1st round domination via Ground n Pound. However, the Team Titan fighter's last outing at BAMMA 10 culminated in a Rear Naked Choke loss to Jeremy Petley, in what many considered to be Fight of the Night. The BAMMA 11 bout marks Roberts' second fight at Lightweight, after a switch from the Welterweight category in which he debuted in 2008. Roberts currently stands with a record of 5-3-0.

Dyson Roberts said:

"My up and coming fight will be a great one, as I have a new kind of hunger after the way my last fight turned out. To dominate a whole fight then throw it away at the end of a round hurts a hell of a lot, especially when your opponent says 'Stop' half way through the round. You stop and the fight continues. I'm not bitter; I just feel a little cheated, but I blame myself only.

"So I will train as hard as I always do, but my opponent needs to be prepared for an even more switched on and aggressive Dyson Roberts. I NEED a win and nothing else will do. My fights are always exciting, but that will not be enough this time round. I want to stay with BAMMA and my win over Marc Allen will cement my place on BAMMA's Lightweight roster. I can not wait."

BAMMA's Head of Talent Relations, Jude Samuel, said:

"Both fighters are coming off very tough fights on BAMMA 10, Dyson losing what many consider the Fight of the Night and Marc getting an extremely close, split decision win over Lee Taylor. Dyson is looking to get back onto a winning streak and is hungry for the win, while Allen is looking to make the Judges redundant by finishing the fight before the 3rd round."

BAMMA is proud to announce a Light Heavyweight Mixed Martial Arts bout to the BAMMA 11 card, as Anth Taylor clashes with Max Nunes at Birmingham's National Indoor Arena on 1st December.

Anth Taylor stands undefeated with a record of 5-0-0, in which none of his fights have gone the distance and he has scored four of his wins in the first round. Taylor's last outing saw him triumph over Mark Godbeer via TKO, just 1 minute and 22 seconds into round 2. Three of Taylor's wins have come by TKO, two by KO & one by submission.

Undefeated Max 'Power' Nunes has clocked up an impressive record of 8-0-0 over the past two years. The London based Swede has stopped all of his opponents in the 1st round, with the exception of the hitherto undefeated Iain Martell, whom he finished in round 2. With successes via TKO and submission, Nunes' last fight saw him submit the doubly experienced Tony Moran at BAMMA 10. Nunes fights out of Nick Osipczak's New Wave Academy and holds the Fury MMA Light Heavyweight title.

Max 'Power' Nunes said:

"I am really looking forward to fighting on BAMMA again. This will be my second appearance and I am hoping to put on a good show for all the UK MMA fans."

BAMMA's Head of Talent Relations, Jude Samuel, said:

"Taylor vs. Nunes is going to be a blistering battle as both guys are heavy hitters who have so far proved invincible. Nunes has a real buzz around him right now; while Taylor is a fan favourite in the North East. I've had my eye on Anth for a while and he was due to fight Opie at BAMMA 9, but the fight fell through when Opie got injured. I'm really excited about this fight and it's certainly one the fans will be looking forward to. Taylor and Nunes represent what makes the Light Heavyweight division so exciting at its best: These two inextinguishable athletes bring all the Herculean Knock Out power of the Heavyweights, but at a faster and explosive pace."

Four More Bouts for BAMMA 11 Live Dec. 1 on Fight Network


BAMMA is proud to announce its first Lightweight British title bout to the BAMMA 11 card at Birmingham NIA on 1st December, as Steve Ray takes on Dale Hardiman in a Mixed Martial Arts contest for the first BAMMA Lonsdale British Lightweight belt.

Hailing from Scotland and training at Dinky Ninjas, Judo black belt Steve "Braveheart" Ray has been dominant on the Scottish circuit. Presenting a professional MMA record of 11-3-0 and with the On Top Welterweight title under his belt, Ray drops in weight for BAMMA 11 to take a shot at the new BAMMA Lonsdale British Lightweight title belt.

Dale 'The Hurricane" Hardiman steps into the BAMMA cage with a professional record of 9-3-0. The Luton fighter earned a string of 1st round submission wins before debuting at BAMMA on BAMMA 7 where he defeated Scott Jansen via Rear Naked Choke in the 2nd round. Hardiman returned for BAMMA 10 to victor over Antanas Jazbutis by unanimous decision and now comes off the back of a KO victory against Israeli Ido Pariente.

Steve Ray said:

"I'm feeling really motivated for this fight as it is a huge opportunity for me fighting for this title. I always put in 100% to my training and this will be no different as I know Dale is a tough fighter. I have recently moved my training base and have joined the new Dinky Ninja gym which has UK stand-outs like Graham Turner, Martin Delaney and James Doolan, so they will be working me hard for this camp. I moved down to Lightweight a few fights ago and feel really strong at that weight. I will be looking to finish the fight at any opportunity. I have various Submission wins on my record and love to knock guys out!

"My only message for Dale is: I respect you as a fighter but I am not coming down from Scotland to leave empty handed. I am preparing for a war so, I hope you are."

BAMMA's Head of Talent Relations, Jude Samuel, said:

"I'm thrilled that two fighters with the skill and calibre that Dale and Ray have will be representing as England and Scotland collide in a battle for the very first BAMMA Lonsdale British Lightweight title. I expect this fight to be an epic skills showdown between two dynamic athletes who show real mastery of their trade."

(October 17th.12) BAMMA is proud to announce a Mixed Martial Arts clash between Light Heavyweights Marcin Lazarz and Sam Mensah for BAMMA 11 at Birmingham's National Indoor Arena on 1st December.

London based Polish fighter, Marcin Lazarz, fights out of Team Titan and stands undefeated with a record of 4-0-0. His last fight earned him a TKO victory over Neil Bittong and earlier wins include 1 Submission and 2 Unanimous Decisions.

BAMMA 10 saw Team Trojan's Sam Mensah knock out Mike Neun in 8 seconds flat and score the fastest KO in BAMMA history. The triumph came on the back of a 19 second TKO win and two previous 1st round finishes, also by TKO. After just 5 fights, Mensah is currently ranked at number 12 in the UK rankings.

Lazarz said:

"I am so excited about this: I've been waiting for my chance to fight on a show like BAMMA for a long time and this is it.....my time is coming. This is a key fight for me and I'm going to make use of it. My opponent is a good stand-up fighter with an aggressive style and a lot of physical power. On 1st December I'm going to be ready for everything that my opponent has to offer. I'll be training harder than ever for this fight and it's going to be a war!"

Mensah said:

"It's a pleasure to have the opportunity to fight on BAMMA again. I'm really looking forward to this clash. Lazarz sounds like a tough opponent and I'm sure he's going to bring it just like me. I'm coming for the stoppage, however it comes. Lazarz looks like he does the same, so the fans can expect fireworks on the night."

BAMMA's Head of Talent Relations, Jude Samuel, said:

"Mensah enthralled fans at BAMMA 10 with his earth shattering 8 second KO. Mensah has a habit of finishing his opponents within the first minute and his fights are never short of compelling. Undefeated Lazarz comes with the same number of wins but a very different style. Coming from a grappling background, with two victories on Unanimous Decision Lazarz certainly has the gas, while Mensah has never gone the distance. This match pitches endurance against fast twitch knock out power. Will Lazarz push Mensah out of his comfort zone or will Lazarz run into a fast, dramatic stoppage?"

BAMMA is proud to announce two further Mixed Martial Arts fights to the BAMMA 11 card at Birmingham's National Indoor Arena on 1st December: Thomas Denham and Mike Neun are scheduled to open the night with a fierce Light Heavyweight bout; while Andrew Fisher and Diego Vital will be competing at Featherweight.

Denham vs. Neun

Thomas Denham carries a professional MMA record of 4-2-0. Fresh off a 57 second title win against David Wilson three weeks ago, Denham is the current Knuckleforce Light Heavyweight champion. Denham comes from a wrestling background, in which he was the highest ranked Freestyle wrestler in the country for his age and division, for 7 consecutive years (between the ages of 12 and 20). Denham traded wrestling for MMA just over a year ago and debuted with losses against Anthony Taylor and then, Rab Truesdale, before going on to notch up 4 wins. His contribution to his community in the form of teaching wrestling to local youths saw him earn the privilege of carrying the 2012 Olympic torch through his hometown of Darlington.

Keddles and MMA Den fighter, Mike 'The Nightmare' Neun walks into the BAMMA cage with a record of 3-1-0. Coming from a Muay Thai background of 6 years, Neun has earned the following titles: The ISKA Southern Area Muay Thai title, the ISKA Southern Area Semi Pro/Amateur MMA title and the Fight Scene Pro MMA title. His last fight at BAMMA 10 saw him caught with an unfortunate 8 second KO at the hands of Sam Mensah, who is also returning to the cage for BAMMA 11.

Denham said:

"I'm feeling great about fighting on BAMMA. It's a huge step up and I'm ready to take it. I believe it's going to be a great fight and whether I win via submission, KO or TKO, one thing is for sure..... I'm going to win. The fans can expect a great show and a good fight. I'll be leaving my all in there. My message to BAMMA fans is: Don't miss it!"

Mike Neun said:

"What can I say? I'll be ready for the fight and I'll be ready for Thomas. I got stopped early in my last fight and I'm ready for working the hardest I've ever worked leading up to this. I'm ready for vengeance. I'm ready for an out and out war if Thomas brings it. I've got big respect for Thomas as he's tough, but The Nightmare is coming and there'll be no waking up!"

Fisher vs. Vital

Hailing from the North East, Andrew Fisher started his career at Lightweight and brings a record of 10-4-1 and a spate of 1st round finishes. His few losses have come against fighters that include Martin Stapleton and Paul Sass; while his one draw was against Daniel Thomas. With the majority of his victories via submission and the Supremacy Fight Challenge Lightweight title to his name, Fisher's last contest saw him drop to Featherweight to defeat Danny Welsh. Fisher's spar partners include names such as Phil De Fries, Andy Ogle and Curt Warburton and he has recently signed with G4 MMA Fighters management.

Fighting out of London Fight Factory, Brazilian Diego Vital (9-3-0) can also boast that none of his wins have gone the distance; as 8 of his 9 wins have come via 1st round submission, and 7 of the 9 via Rear Naked Choke. Like Fisher, Vitals' few losses have come at the hands of challenging opponents and include a Split Decision loss to Tim Newman at BAMMA 5 and a 3rd round loss to Rob Sinclair at BAMMA 7.

Andrew Fisher said:

"Thank you to BAMMA for having me on the show: I'm really looking forward to the chance to show BAMMA fans what I can do. Diego is an extremely tough fight for anyone in the Featherweight division and his grappling is excellent; but I don't think he's as well rounded as me and I think that'll be why I'll have the advantage. I am expecting this fight to go the distance."

BAMMA's Head of Talent Relations, Jude Samuel, said:

"Denham versus Neun brings your classic Striker-Wrestler match-up, as both fighters have proved themselves to be among the best in their respective disciplines. Neun got caught early by Mensah at BAMMA 10 and hasn't yet got to show BAMMA fans what an exceedingly exciting and ruthless striker he is. Now he's hungry for the win and I fully expect him to 100% bring the fight. Denham is great for the division as he brings exemplary wrestling into the mix, which is a stand-out skill for a British fighter. I honestly can't wait for this and completely expect fans to be on the edge of their seats.

"Fisher versus Vital showcases two fighters with a spectrum of experience and a history of first round finishes; and both guys have faced some gruelling opponents. Vital's making his comeback and will be looking to make his mark at BAMMA 11 but Fisher is every part the challenge. I guarantee this will be one exciting, exciting match!"

Foupa-Pokam vs. Marshman Headlines BAMMA 11 Live on FN


BAMMA is proud to announce a Middleweight Mixed Martial Arts bout to headline the BAMMA 11 card at Birmingham's National Indoor Arena on 1st December, as Jack Marshman faces Xavier Foupa-Pokam.

Fresh off a decision loss to Claudio Henrique da Silva at the weekend, Xavier Foupa-Pokam or "Professor X" hails from Paris in France with a record of 22-18-0; and is currently signed non-exclusively to Indian promotion, Super Fight League. The 30 year old shot to recognition during his brief stint in the UFC, and through his long career in British MMA, with Cage Rage and later with BAMMA. With the majority of his victories by Knock Out, Foupa-Pokam holds notable conquests over Alex Reid, Tom Watson and Pierre Guillet. He has also faced tough names that include Paul Daley, Ninja Rua and Alex Makhonin (at BAMMA 5); and brings a wealth of experience back into the BAMMA cage.

With the support of the British Forces behind him, the atmosphere when paratrooper Jack Marshman hits the cage is never short of electric. Marshman (11-1-0) made his mark at BAMMA 7 when he survived a Ground n Pound attack to flip fortune around and win the BAMMA-Lonsdale British Middleweight belt. Following an effective title defence against Barnes at BAMMA 8, Marshman went on to unsuccessfully challenge Tom 'Kong' Watson for the World title at BAMMA 9, gaining his first loss. Marshman returned at BAMMA 10 to once more defend his British title, this time against Andrew Punshon. However he forfeited the Lonsdale belt when he weighed in heavier than agreed, and the fight went ahead as a non-title bout. Previously renowned for his exemplary striking and extraordinary resilience on the ground, Marshman surprised submission specialist, Punshon, with his ground game and submitted him with a Triangle Choke in the first round.

Jack Marshman said:

"I'm feeling really good and I'm excited about this fight, mainly as this is my first bout at international level and it's a step up I'm ready for. I always like to think I'm more well-rounded than people think, and I showed fans that I'm much more than a boxer in my last fight. I'm up against someone who is experienced and skilled in all areas, so I will definitely need to prove that I'm a rounded fighter as I'm coming for the win. I'm really looking forward to returning to Birmingham for a third time. Both my most exciting fights have been in Birmingham and I expect it to be as exciting this time both for me and the fans."

Replacements for Taylor, Roberts at BAMMA 11


Two further changes are to take place to the preliminary fight card for BAMMA 11 presented by GoDaddy.com, as Anth Taylor and Dyson Roberts have had to withdraw from their Mixed Martial Arts bouts on 1st December at Birmingham's NIA, due to injury.

Kevin Thompson will now replace Anth Taylor in a Light Heavyweight clash with undefeated Max Nunes, while Kyle Redfearn replaces Dyson Roberts and squares off against Marc Allen at Lightweight.

Kevin Thompson comes from Cumbria with a professional MMA record of 13-5-0. Thompson has never yet gone the distance: Only two of his matches have made it past the first round and five of his victories have been achieved in less than a minute. The majority of Thompson's wins have been attained by TKO (punches) while other victories have come via Submission to Punches, TKO by corner stoppage and grappling submissions. Recent losses on Thompson's record have been to Linton Vassell and Ricco Rodriguez. Thompson was pitted for BAMMA 10, presented by GoDaddy.com, against Tony Moran; but he was forced to withdraw due to injury and was replaced by undefeated Max Nunes whom he is now set to face. Nunes also has an impressive history of first round conquests.

Thompson said: "I'm very excited to be fighting on BAMMA and look forward to impressing on my debut on December 1st."

Durham's Kyle Redfearn fights out of Kirkmerrington MMA with a record of 5-4-0. Debuting in May 2012 Redfearn has stacked up 100% of his victories in the first round, with times that range between 21 seconds and 2 minutes 14 seconds. Opponent Marc Allen, with a record of 6-1, also likes to stop his opponent early and went to the third round for the very first time at BAMMA 10 (presented by GoDaddy.com) to attain a win by decision against Lee Taylor.

BAMMA's Managing Director, Ashley Bothwell, said:

"We're very pleased to have Kevin Thompson back on the BAMMA card. He's a fierce talent who I'm sure will be a real hit with our fans. Nunes is dangerous challenge but Thompson has what it takes to make this a thrilling bout. It's always great to see new talent coming up and Kyle Redfern has shown himself to be an exciting and risky fighter. I'm looking forward to seeing these matches realised on December 1st and I'm sure the fans are too."
