King Of Champions
Rumble at Ritchie
Written by J.R. Gordon

http://www.mmabuzz.com

February 26, 2010 the Ritchie Center on the Denver University campus opened it's doors to welcome fans to a night of MMA action that had nine bouts including three titles and three professional bouts. Spectacular matchmaking was evidenced by the fact that six of the bouts went to the judge's scorecards and the main event that is up to this point Colorado's fight of the year.

The first three fights described were professional bouts while all others were elimination matches.

Main event: Josiah Callis vs Nick Macias. Each fighter showed strong striking early before the fight briefly went to the ground. On the mat Macias escaped a guillotine choke and backed out to let Callis stand. The rest of the round was a great display of fast, crisp, accurate and technical striking that tested the chin of both fighters. Each fighter landed kicks, punches and solid knees while clinched and both fighters went to their corner bloodied. Round two had both again showing strong striking before Callis got a takedown into side control. The fighters scrambled to standing before Macias took it back to the mat looking to sink in a Kimura shoulder lock. Callis escaped the deep submission and momentarily took full mount. Macias scrambled to get full guard and the round played out with Callis working GNP while Macias worked multiple submission attempts. Round three Had Callis get a quick takedown off of ducking a punch then working strong GNP including strong knees to the body. Macias withstood the attack and linked together a strong set of submission attempts. Macias then worked back to standing but Callis got a takedown. There was a scramble as the fighters hit the mat and Macias took back control to work between RNC attempts and GNP. To end the round Callis escaped back control and landed several punches as the bell ended the fight. The judge's scorecards were read and the winner by unanimous decision was Josiah Callis.

Co-main event: Vern Baca vs Nick Buschman. The fighters had a brief striking exchange before Buschman closed in after a head kick to flurry with punches that dropped Baca to a knee. With Baca kneeling Buschman continued his striking attack and after a series of unanswered strikes the referee stopped the bout giving the win to Nick Buschman at :43 of round one.

Josh Huber vs Travis Hollis. Round one was all kickboxing with each fighter landing hard punches, solid kicks and strong knees while clinched. Round two started with good striking by each until Hollis used standing back control to get a takedown into back control. On the mat Hollis switched between GNP and RNC attempts until Huber escaped and worked back to standing. The fight quickly went back to the mat and this time it was Huber working for the RNC until the round ended. Round three had Huber landing strikes that hurt Hollis. Hollis clinched and got a takedown, but Huber rolled through for a reversal, took mount and flurried with GNP to get the TKO win at 1:05 of round three.

Scott Cleve vs Jeremiah Record for the King of Champions 155 lb. amateur title. Record had good striking early including a head kick. Cleve took the fight to the mat with a double leg takedown, but off of his back Record worked for a triangle choke as the round ended. Round two had Cleve using a trapped head kick to get a takedown into side control. The fighters scrambled to standing and Record worked for a guillotine choke that Cleve escaped and the fighters exchanged punches to end the round. Round three saw Cleve use an overhand left to close the distance and get a takedown and each fighter scrambled for position with Cleve ending in the guard of record. Cleve then took back control and worked GNP until the bout ended. The scorecard's were used to determine the winner and by way of split decision it was Scott Cleve.

Jimmy Soiland vs Mike Rutherford for the King of Champions 135 lb. amateur title. Rutherford shot for and got a takedown, but Soiland swept him and fell back for an ankle lock. Rutherford defended and fell back for a foot lock of his own. Briefly both fighters tried for a heel-hook then they scrambled for position and Rutherford took side control and worked GNP. Rutherford then stood and from standing he used a spinning back fist punch while falling to the ground and he purposely used the spin as a guard pass to land in side control to end the round. Round two opened with Rutherford using a spinning back fist to close the distance to get a takedown. On the ground Soiland tried for an armbar that Rutherford slammed his way out of. Both fighters worked to standing and Rutherford got another takedown and tried for an ankle lock before transitioning into full mount and working GNP to end the round. Round three saw Rutherford getting a bodylock takedown into mount then using his GNP to set up a fight winning choke for the submission win at :51 of round three.

Eric Moya vs Abe Alvarado. Alvarado got a quick takedown but on the mat it was Moya that linked his submission attempts together. When not defending Moya worked his GNP game to end the round. Round two had Alvarado get the takedown and Moya was again active with submission attempts while Alvarado worked to improve his position. Moya scrambled to standing and landed knees in the clinch that Moya answered with a bodylock slam to end the round. Round three had a good striking exchange before Alvarado got a takedown. Off of his back Moya set in a triangle choke and used the position to land elbows from off of his back until the bout ended. The judge's had to score the bout to determine the winner and by split decision the winner was Abe Alvarado.

Tony Miller vs Carlos Huerta for the King of Champions 125 lb. amateur title. Huerta got a takedown into side control to set up an attempted Darce choke. Miller escaped and scrambled to standing but Huerta got another takedown and took side control to work GNP until the fighters again worked to standing where they exchanged strikes until the round ended. Round two saw Huerta get another takedown, Miller escaped to standing, Huerta got another takedown, Miller went back to standing and the fighters exchanged knee strikes before Miller got a takedown. In a scramble for position Miller set in an inverted triangle choke that he held until the round ended. Round three was all standing with each fighter spending time pressing forward with Huerta able to stagger Miller several times. The bell ended the fight and the unanimous judge's decision was in favor of Carlos Huerta.

Mike Suksi vs Joey Banks. Round one was all standing striking with each fighter landing well and Banks using good footwork to change the distance. Round two was also all standing with Banks landing more, and stronger strikes while Suksi used a low kick to sweep Banks mid-round. Round three saw Banks drop Suksi with a punch combination then Banks let him stand and the fighters exchanged punches until the bell ended the fight. The judge's scored the fight at a unanimous decision win in favor of Joey Banks.

Isais Gomez vs Dan Craft. Craft got a takedown into back control and each fighter then swept the other before scrambling to standing. Craft got a bodylock takedown to again take back control to try for an RNC. Gomez escaped the choke and reversed positions to take back control. Craft got a sweep and worked GNP to end the round. Round two had Craft using his strikes to set up a double leg takedown. Gomez worked back to his feet but Craft pulled off a strong belly-to-back suplex, then he took back control, then mount to work GNP. Gomez escaped the position, got back to his feet to end the round. Round three started with Craft getting a double leg takedown into side control. Craft worked into a bulldog choke but Gomez escaped to improve his position. Craft got a reversal, took mount, worked GNP and finally took back control to end the round. The judge's scorecards again determined the winner and it was Dan Craft by unanimous decision.

"Of the night" moments:

Chin of the night of the night goes to both Nick Macias and Josiah Callis for the shots they both withstood despite each having their head snapped back as well as spun side to side multiple times.

KO/TKO of the night goes to Nick Buschman for his quick flurry of strikes that got him the TKO win at :43 of round one.

Slam of the night goes to Dan Craft for his belly-to-back suplex.

Heart of the night is shared by Nick Macias and Josiah Callis. In their bout each fighter pushed through exhaustion, pain and injury. From cageside you could see each fighter make a conscious decision that no matter what they were in the fight to the end despite the most determined effort of their opponent.

Unique technique of the night goes to Mike Rutherford for using a spinning back fist going from standing to the floor in order to get a guard pass and end in side control.

Fight of the night, and in fact an early frontrunner for fight of the year goes to Nick Macias and Josiah Callis. Their back and forth battle saw each attain dominant position, land strikes that visibly hurt the other and display cardio that seemed unending. The crowd gave them a deserved standing ovation and those in attendance will be telling their friends to get a DVD of the event just to see this battle.

Thanks to the sponsors that made the event possible.

Be sure to check the site calendar for upcoming events.

Best in Health and Training,
J.R. Gordon.

ROF 38: ASCENSION

WOMEN HEADLINE: FIRST TIME IN PROMOTION HISTORY

DENVER, CO - RING OF FIRE MMA is one of the first promotions to feature women fighters, however at ROF 38: ASCENSION the promotion will give the ladies the main event spot.

"I have been a supporter of Women's MMA for a long time. We've been putting on womens matches for years, and were the first in this region to do so. But it used to be really hard to find true trained fighters, and you only had a handful to choose from." said promoter Sven Bean.

"But now the women ranks are growing. When you see a womens bout headline a card on national TV, well you know the ladies have arrived. And it's no different with Ring Of Fire. The time is right and I think the fans will respond as well."

Not only will the main event feature the ROF 125 lbs Womens Championship, but the card will have 3 womens bouts in total. The promotions #1 ranked female fighter, Cat Albert will square up against Gladiator Challenge 125 Champion Christina Marks.

Albert being a world class wrestler normally has the edge in grappling. Cat wrestled on the boys team in high school. She then advanced to compete in College and became a 2 time National Champion and 2 time Freestyle National Champion. In MMA, she has been able to transfer those skills effectively and controls her opponents with strength and positioning. But at ROF 38 she will have her hands full with Marks. Hailing from the Fight Ugly team from San Diego, California, Marks brings a well rounded skill set to the table. She finished her last opponent with a standing rear naked choke in the second round.

Kate Martinez, who was recently promoted to purple belt by the legendary Royce Gracie will also appear on the event. She will face Celestina Cano, a boxer-kickboxer from Plainview, Texas. And local grappler Michelle Blalock will vie for the ROF 125 lbs Young Guns Belt against Indiana's Audrey Pang. Pang who is originally from Canada, shares a similar wrestling pedigree as Cat Albert. Pang made history as the first women to wrestle on the mens team at Princeton University.

ROF is known as the launch pads for the stars in the industry. And that tradition continues at ROF 38. Three of the most promising up and coming fighters in the region will appear. At Middleweight, Chaun Simms has been making his presence known finishing all of his opponents, with 3 of them not making it past the first round. Simms will step way up in level of opponent as Korea's Myeon Ho Bae makes his ROF debut. Myeon Ho Bae has a 9-5 record and is a veteran of Japan's DREAM promotion.

The powerful Robert Martinez makes his promotional debut as well and brings his perfect record with him. Martinez went 6-0 as an amateur and is now 2-0 as a professional. Of his 8 wins, 7 are by way of knockout. Martinez will face his most technical striker based opponent in Chidi Njokauni. If that name sounds familiar, it's because Chidi is the younger brother of WEC star Anthony Njokuani. Chidi is is a World Combat League veteran and has the same fighting style and aggressive nature as his brother.

Vinnie The ASSAULT Lopez has gone 3-0 in his first 3 mma bouts. He admits his style at first was mostly just a progression of his street fighting ability. Even his nick name is a nodd towards his younger street days. However as of late Lopez has been training with some of the world's best fighters at Grudge Training Center. Grudge is home to a who's who of the MMA elite, including Shane Carwin, Nate Marquardt, Rashad Evans, etc. Lopez, a heavy handed striker, feels his game has increased by leaps and bounds and is ready for the pro circuit. Standing in his way will be one of the most durable fighters on the regional circuit, Chris Holland. Holland will be making his second ROF appearance and brings a 6-4 record , with all 6 of his wins coming by knockout. This match has local insiders laying odds as top Fight Of The Night candidate.
