Lauzon-Trites headlines 'Snow Brawl’ MMA show
Campbell-Hervey co-main event Dec. 2 at Twin River Event Center in RI
A powerful one-two strike headlines “Snow Brawl,” the third Mixed Martial Arts show presented by Jimmy Burchfield’s CES MMA in less than three months, on Thursday night, Dec. 2 at the Twin River Event Center in Lincoln, R.I.
The main event is a grudge match between Dan “The Upgrade” Lauzon (13-4-0), who remains the youngest UFC fighter ever, against Damien “The Omen” Trites (5-3-0) at a 165-pound catch weight. The 22-year-old Lauzon, fighting out or Reality Self Defense, is the younger brother of UFC lightweight contender Joe Lauzon (18-5-0), who fights George Sotorupoulos on UFC 123 (Nov. 20 at Auburn Hills, Mich.). Trites, representing Wai Kru in Boston, has won three of his last four fights.
In the co-main event, Bellingham (MA) lightweight Mike “The Beast” Campbell (8-3-0) attempts to get back on the winning track against Detroit invader Tony “Lion Heart” Hervey (12-8-0).
Rhode Island MMA pioneer Mat Santos (2-6-0), of East Greenwich, seeks revenge against BJJ specialist Everilton “Sonca” Silva (3-3-0), of Marlborough, MA). Silva won a two-round, split decision against Santos in 2006.
“This is our third MMA show and it promises to be the best by far,” CES MMA promoter Jimmy Burchfield said. “We’re improving each show in order to give fans what they want – action and compelling match-ups. Lauzon and Trites don’t like each other and that’s certainly going to show in the cage. Campbell’s ready to bounce right back from a disappointing loss on our first show, also at Twin River, but he’s going to have his hands full with a tough veteran like Hervey. Mat Santos kept MMA alive in this state and we’re excited to have him back fighting with the opportunity for him to avenge a controversial loss against Silva. Our matchmakers are rounding out the remainder of what promises to be a power-packed undercard for our last show of 2010.”
All bouts feature three, five-minute rounds. Undercard fights will soon be announced. All fights and fighters are subject to change.

Re: Lauzon-Trites Headlines ‘Snow Brawl’
Blood-feuding headliner for ‘Snow Brawl’ MMA show
Lauzon-Trites headline Dec. 2 at Twin River Event Center in RI
There’s bad blood brewing between the Dec. 2nd main event fighters, Dan “The Upgrade” Lauzon (13-4-0) and Damien “The Omen” Trites (5-3-0), on the “Snow Brawl” professional Mixed Martial Arts show, presented by Jimmy Burchfield’s CES MMA at the Twin River Event Center in Lincoln, R.I.
Trites claims the 22-year-old Lauzon, fighting out or Reality Self Defense, has disrespected him. Lauzon, the youngest UFC fighter ever, is the younger brother of UFC lightweight contender Joe Lauzon (18-5-0), who fights George Sotorupoulos on UFC 123 (Nov. 20 at Auburn Hills, Mich.).
“It’s a big fight because we don’t like each other,” Trites, representing Wai Kru in Boston, said. “There’s a lot of hating between us. This has been going on for six months to a year. This is going to be one of the biggest MMA fights in New England history. We’re going to sell out the place. I really hate him. At one point we were supposed to meet up in a parking lot to fight
“I respect him as a talent, no doubt about it, and I know I have to fight hard. He has a lot more experience than me and he’s had three UFC fights. But I don’t respect him as a person. He thinks he’s a gangster but he lives in East Bridgewater with his parents. I’ve been on my own since I was 16. He’s clueless.”
The feud started, according to Trites, when he went to train one night at Reality Self Defense, owned by Joe Lauzon, with his best friend, UFC fighter Josh “Doomsday” Howard. Trites trained with Joe Lauzon without incident but, as Trites explained, Dan Lauzon basically tried to hurt him.
“Joe was a true gentleman,” Trites remembered. “I like and respect Joe. We’d probably be friends if it wasn’t for his brother, who is the complete opposite of Joe. Dan tried to knock me out but I held my ground. Afterwards, I said I wouldn’t go back to their gym because you don’t train with somebody who is trying to knock you out. It would be like him coming to our gym and somebody there trying to knock him out.”
Trites said that after the initial incident he and Lauzon joked around when they met, but, deep down, they didn’t like each other from the start. Their animosity towards each other climaxed when Trites pulled out of a fight with Lauzon’s teammate, Joe Proctor.
“I had an ankle injury,” Damien added. “I pulled out of that fight but went to an Ultimate Fighter tryout. My injury was risky enough to stop me from fighting Proctor. He had only four fights, but I wasn’t going to pass up the Ultimate Fighter tryout. Lauzon went on my Facebook page, which is really for my friends and family – my mother goes on there a lot – and posted a message that I tried out for Ultimate Fighter and ducked his teammate. He said I was scared and that’s what really started it for us. You don’t go on somebody’s page and show disrespect. I’m not afraid of him or his friend and things escalated from there.
“We’re losing the mixed martial arts spirit -- a lot of guys aren’t humble. Hey, he blew his UFC chance three times. He doesn’t respect me and he’s nothing but a bully. I’m going to stand right in front of him and go at it. If he thinks I’m afraid to fight him, he’ll find out December 2nd.”
Popular Providence lightweight Mike “The Beast” Campbell(8-3-0) plans to get back on the winning track against Detroit invader Tony “Lion Heart” Hervey (12-8-0) in the co-main event.
Rhode Island MMA pioneer Mat Santos (2-6-0), of East Greenwich, will be seeking revenge against BJJ specialist Everilton “Sonca” Silva (3-3-0), of Marlborough, MA), winner of a two-round, split decision against Santos four years ago.
Also fighting on the undercard are Connecticut featherweight Jason Bennett (4-3-0) versus Tateki Matsuda (4-3-0), out of Boston by way of Tokyo, and Brockton (MA) lightweight Lionel Young (4-4-0) taking on Luiz Rodriguez (3-0-0) of Somerville (MA). Pawtucketwelterweight Rigo Dominicci (4-10-0) is scheduled to fight on the card against an opponent to be determined.
All bouts feature three, five-minute rounds. Undercard fights will soon be announced. All fights and fighters are subject to change.

Re: Lauzon-Trites Headlines ‘Snow Brawl’
Lauzon strikes back at Trites in ‘Snow Brawl’ feud
Lauzon-Trites headline Dec. 2 at Twin River Event Center in RI
LINCOLN, R.I. (Nov. 16, 2010) – The UFC’s youngest fighter ever, Dan “The Upgrade”
Lauzon (13-4-0), has angrily fired back at his Dec. 2nd opponent, Damien “The
Omen” Trites (5-3-0), whose disparaging remarks last week fueled on ongoing
feud between the bitter main-event rivals headlining the “Snow Brawl” professional
Mixed Martial Arts show, presented by Jimmy Burchfield’s CES MMA at the Twin
River Event Center in Lincoln, R.I.
Trites claimed the 22-year-old Lauzon disrespected him during a workout at
Reality Self Defense, owned by Lauzon’s older brother, UFC lightweight contender
Joe Lauzon (18-5-0), who fights George Sotorupoulos on UFC 123 (Nov. 20 at
Auburn Hills, Mich.).
Although Lauzon disputes Trites’ explanation about the start of the feud, the
East Bridgewater (MA) fighter did agree there’s no love between these two rivals.
“We don’t like each other,” an irritated Lauzon said about Trites. “It all
started when he pulled out of a fight against my teammate (Joe Proctor). He
had an ankle injury, so, okay, he pulled out of the fight. Then he (Trites)
goes on Facebook saying he heard reports that he was afraid to fight Proctor
but would fight him in the street. How do you pull out of a fight with an injury
and then say you’d fight in the street? I said he was supposedly hurt but still
tried out for The Ultimate Fighter. That’s what really started this.
“I read that he said it started because he came to my brother’s gym to work
out and I tried to take his head off. He’s going to find out December 2nd what
it’s like for me to try and take his head off. Hey, it’s fighting, and if he
can’t handle it, too bad. We were there training to fight. He went to Las Vegas
for a while but 90 percent of the people who know him here don’t like him.
He came to our gym one time and said that he wouldn’t come back? He was banned
from our gym because he’s so arrogant.”
Lauzon has won nine of his last 11 fights, while Trites is riding a 4-fight
win streak. Lauzon also claims Trites sent him threatening messages via Facebook
while derisively referring to him as a “gangster.”
“He is nothing but a punk,” Lauzon said. “Come December 2nd I’m going to hit
him with real good punches in his face to show him the gangster I am. This
fight is going to sell itself. I plan on hurting him.”

Re: Lauzon-Trites Headlines ‘Snow Brawl’
MMA homecoming for Providence fighter Greg Rebello
Lauzon-Trites headlines Thursday night at Twin River Event Center in RI
Providence light heavyweight Greg Rebello has been a professional mixed martial arts fighter for nearly six years, but this Thursday night he’ll be making his cage debut in his home state.
Rebello (11-2-0) takes on Cleveland invader Tiawan Howard (7-5-0) on the special “Snow Brawl” professional mixed martial arts card at the Twin River Event Center in Lincoln, R.I. Rebello-Howard replaced the originally scheduled co-main event between Mike “The Beast” Campbell (8-3-0) and Tony “Lion Heart” Hervey (12-8-0) after Campbell suffered an injury last week at training camp that forced him to withdraw.
“Snow Brawl” is being presented by Jimmy Burchfield’s CES MMA, in association with Twin River. The main event, contested at a 165-pound catch-weight, pits bitter rivals Dan “The Upgrade” Lauzon (13-4-0), fighting out of East Bridgewater (MA), against Boston-based Damien “The Omen” Trites (5-3-0), who’ve both spewed more venom than any MMA opponents in recent memory.
A member of Team Sityodtong, Rebello is a Muay Thai fighter, trained by Mark Dellegrotte, who is riding a 10-fight win streak. All of Rebello’s pro MMA fights have been in nearby Massachusetts because the sport wasn’t sanctioned in Rhode Island until this past September.
Rebello, who participated in The Ultimate Fighter 11 reality television series, last fought May 6, winning a unanimous decision against John Doyle on a Bellator show held in Boston.
“The biggest thing for me, of course, is fighting and winning,” Rebello said, “but fighting in Providence is cool. I work at the best bar in Providence, View Lounge. I’m a bartender and we’re not open on Thursday nights. Other bartenders and customers there are friends and when I fight on weekends it’s tough for them to get time off. I sold a ton of tickets there this week and 30 to 40 people who’ve never seen me fight will be there.
“I’ve always fought where the best opportunities were for me. There was Vale Tudo in Rhode Island, back in ’98-99. Mat Santos is a buddy of mine and he fought back then. But I never thought there’d be MMA in Rhode Island, especially in a cool place like Twin River. I’m excited.”
Rhode Island MMA pioneer Mat Santos (2-6-0), of East Greenwich, takes on Taunton middleweight Ed Medeiros (3-3-0). Also fighting on the undercard are Connecticut featherweight Jason Bennett (4-3-0) versus Tateki Matsuda (4-3-0), out of Boston by way of Tokyo; Brockton (MA) lightweight Lionel Young (4-4-0) taking on Luiz Rodriguez (3-0-0) of Somerville (MA); Lincoln (RI) hometown favorite Jeff “Candyman” Anderson (5-2-0) facing (Danbury (CT) lightweight Hitalo Machado (6-4-0); Waltham (MA) lightweight Tyson Chartier making his pro debut against Justin Switzer (0-1-0), of Lincoln; middleweights Doug Bolanes, of Framingham (MA) and Josh Labossiere, of Narragansett (RI), making their pro debuts against each other; and Providence’s Ruben “Rukus” Rey (1-1-0) tangling with Brockton’s James King (0-1-0) at a 150-pound catch-weight.
All bouts feature three, five-minute rounds. All fights and fighters are subject to change.
Tickets for “Snow Brawl,” priced at $25.00 (SRO), $50.00, $75.00 and $100.00 (VIP), are available to purchase by calling CES (401.724.2253/2254), going online at http://www.cesmma.com or http://www.twinriver.com, at Twin River’s Players Club booth at Twin River, or any TicketMaster location.

Rhode Island MMA pioneer Mat Santos (2-6-0), of East Greenwich, takes on Taunton middleweight Ed Medeiros (3-3-0). Also fighting on the undercard are Connecticut featherweight Jason Bennett (4-3-0) versus Tateki Matsuda (4-3-0), out of Boston by way of Tokyo; Brockton (MA) lightweight Lionel Young (4-4-0) taking on Luiz Rodriguez (3-0-0) of Somerville (MA); Lincoln (RI) hometown favorite Jeff “Candyman” Anderson (5-2-0) facing (Danbury (CT) lightweight Hitalo Machado (6-4-0); Waltham (MA) lightweight Tyson Chartier making his pro debut against Justin Switzer (0-1-0), of Lincoln; middleweights Doug Bolanes, of Framingham (MA) and Josh Labossiere, of Narragansett (RI), making their pro debuts against each other; and Providence’s Ruben “Rukus” Rey (1-1-0) tangling with Brockton’s James King (0-1-0) at a 150-pound catch-weight.
All bouts feature three, five-minute rounds. All fights and fighters are subject to change.

Re: Lauzon-Trites Headlines ‘Snow Brawl’ *Updated-Results*
Lauzon traps Trites in Guillotine 1:54 into opening round
Rebello extends win streak to 11
LINCOLN, RI (Dec. 2, 2010) – Ending a bitter feud that’s lasted a year, Dany “The Upgrade” Lauzon (14-4-0) only needed 1:54 to force rival Damien “The Omen” Trites into tapping out by way of a guillotine, headlining tonight’s “Snow Brawl” professional mixed-martial-arts card at Twin River Event Center in Lincoln, Rhode Island.
“Snow Brawl” was presented by Jimmy Burchfield’s CES MMA, in association with Twin River.
“It was very satisfying,” Lauzon said after the fight. “There was big hype – he hates me, I have him. I don’t hate him, I don’t even care…he’s a clown. It’s squashed. The plan was to be patient. We knew he’d come out fighting angry. My team kept me calm. I could see it in the cage. He came out angry, I fought smart and it was my fight.”
Fighting for the first time in his home state, Providence light heavyweight Greg Rebello (12-2-0) won his 11th straight fight, taking all three rounds for a unanimous 3-round decision against Tiawan Howard (7-6-0) in the co-main event.
Rebello-Howard was fought almost exclusively on the ground with Rebello holding an advantage throughout. “It was great fighting here,” Rebello said. “I took this fight on 2-week notice. I’m a striker, pretty much known for that, but my wrestling and jiu-jitsu was better. He’s strong and tough to finish off.”
In a spirited battle between talented bantamweights, Tateki Matsuda (5-3-0), fighting out of Boston by way of Tokyo, won a hard-fought, 3-round split decision versus a game Jason Bennett (4-3-0).
In a pair of lightweight bouts, Hitalo Machado (7-4-0) won a 3-round decision against hometown favorite, Lincoln’s (RI) Jeff “Candyman” Anderson (5-3-0), while Luiz Rodriguez (4-0-0), of Somerville (MA), remained undefeated by locking a triangle choke on Lionel Young (4-5-0) for a win by first-round submission.
In a fight featuring a pair of fighters making their pro debuts, popular Framingham (MA) middleweight Doug Bolanes blasted Josh Labossiere with a powerhouse right-handed punch that landed square on the jaw, set-up by a left uppercut, for an impressive knockout at 1:11 of the opening round.
Providence favorite Ruben “Rukus” Rey (2-1-0), of Providence, stopped James King (0-2-0) midway through the second round, in a fight contested at a 152-pounds catch-weight, by way of a flying knee kick to the body followed by a strike to the head.
The long anticipated pro debut of Waltham (MA) lightweight Tyson Chartier was a success as he forced Justin Switzer to tap-out from a rear naked choke in the third round.
