The World Boxing Council has officially named Sergio Martinez the welterweight champion of the world. Martinez (44-1-2, 24 KOs) won the interim version of the title last October, stopping well-regarded veteran Alex Bunema in 8 rounds.

In a statement released by the WBC on May 20, President Jose Sulaiman praised former champion Vernon Forrest for his commitment to the sport, but was adamant about the need for Martinez to take the reigns as champion in the division.

“Sergio Martinez is one of the most loyal fighters I have ever met as WBC President,” said Sulaiman. “[Sergio] is now regarded as a new sensation of boxing and I am sure that he will proudly represent the WBC.”

Obtaining ownership of the title was a long time coming for Martinez (44-1-2, 24 KOs).

After winning the interim title 8 months ago, Martinez has been trying to get Forrest in the ring, biding his time with a defense vs. Kermit Cintron in February. Once Forrest pulled out of their scheduled August 1st contest, the WBC made its ruling.

“I’m very proud of the WBC,” said Martinez. “I would’ve been happier winning the title in the ring, but I deserved this honor.”

With the famous green belt now solely in his possession, Martinez, widely regarded as one of boxing’s budding stars, is ready to take on all comers in the welterweight division.

“I’m not running away from anyone,” said Martinez. “Now that I have the green belt, I plan on keeping it for a long time. And if Vernon ever decides to get his title back, I’ll be there.”

No one is happier to hear those words than his promoter, Lou DiBella, who is ready to move his fighter’s career forward.

“It’s a pleasure to promote a fighter who will take on any challenge,” said DiBella. “We’re pursuing all opportunities for Sergio Martinez.”

There is still a chance the bout with Forrest will happen. As part of the WBC’s ruling Forrest is entitled to a shot at his old belt if and when he deems himself healthy enough for active competition.

Team Martinez is not only prepared to finally step into the ring with Forrest, but is welcoming the opportunity to get their long awaited showdown.

“Sergio is looking to defend his title anytime, anywhere,” said Martinez manager Sampson Lewkowicz. “If Vernon Forrest decides to step to the plate, Sergio will be waiting for him.”

McCloskey’s French Connection the key to European glory

Paul McCloskey will finally get his chance at a European title on July 3rd but the undefeated Derry man will have to concede home advantage by travelling to France to battle it out with former World Champion Souleymane M'baye for the vacant European Light Welterweight title.

McCloskey was made an offer that manager and trainer John Breen admitted was simply too good to refuse to travel to Paris to take on M’baye. “They made us a very, very good offer to go to France but Paul’s one of those guys who has no problems going into the lions den,” said Breen.

The fight will take place at the Palais des Sport Marcel Cerdan in the Paris suburb of Levallois-Perret in what is effectively M’baye’s hometown. “They could fight in M’baye’s front room as far as I’m concerned and Paul would still beat him. I’ve said all along he’s a World Champion in the making and he’ll prove that again that winning a European title on the road.

“Paul beat Colin Lynes in his back yard to win the British title at a weeks notice and his first defence was on the road too against Dean Harrison in Liverpool and he knocked him out so it’s not an issue for him.

“He’s in good shape because we’ve known for a while now that the fight was going to happen in early July but now that the venue and an exact date has been set we have something to focus on.”

McCloskey echoed Breen’s sentiments and says he can’t wait to get his hands on the European title. “I’ve no problem going to Paris,” revealed the undefeated Dungiven southpaw. “It’s a beautiful city and hopefully it will be a beautiful night with me lifting the European title. At the end of the day when the ring clears and that first bell goes it will be just me, him and the referee in that ring so the crowd won’t have any affect on me.”

Despite his confidence McCloskey has long been an admirer of M’baye who held the WBA World Light Welterweight title from 2006 – 2007. “I used to watch a lot of M’baye’s early fights when I was still in the amateurs, revealed McCloskey.

”He’s very slick, durable and he can punch a bit himself. There’s no doubt about it he’s a world class operator, you don’t win World titles without being world class. He’s only been beaten 3 times in 41 fights and he has wins over some very good fighters including Andriy Kotelnik who’s defending his World title against Amir Khan this month.”

McCloskey though believes that he can use the European title as a spring board to even further success. “This is a huge opportunity for me. Manny Pacquiao aside there is no one in the division that’s setting the world alight. Winning the European title would set me up nicely for a shot at a World title. Obviously I’d like to consolidate at European level first with a couple of defences but if Amir Khan can take the World title off Kotelnik in a few weeks time then that’s a fight I would relish at some point down the road.”See you at the Fights.

KEVIN "KINGPIN" JOHNSON

Undefeated and world ranked heavyweight contender Kevin Johnson (22-0-1, 9KO) has one question for The Klitschko Management Group, "What time does the next flight to Germany leave?" Johnson, coming off an impressive TKO victory over undefeated US Olympic Team Captain Devin Vargas on May 15th looks to prove he is the leading US heavyweight contender and next heavyweight champion. "It's as simple as picking up the phone and calling Star Boxing," Johnson stated after learning that David Haye pulled out of his June 20th match with Wladimir Klitschko. "I'm ready to show the entire world what boxing experts already know, the next heavyweight champion of the world is from the United States and his name is Kevin Johnson."

DIBELLA ENTERTAINMENT SIGNS LIGHT HEAVYWEIGHT PROSPECT ISIAH THOMAS

DiBella Entertainment has announced the signing of undefeated light heavyweight prospect Isiah Thomas. Thomas (3-0, 3 KOs) has no relation to the former basketball player, but much like his namesake, Thomas has built a reputation in his home city of Detroit, and is ready to show off his skills as one of boxing’s rising stars.

Having won each of his professional bouts by first round knockout, Thomas believes he has the ability to do great things in the sport. He has just been waiting to get the promotional muscle behind him.

“DBE is established,” said Thomas. “They are one of the biggest promoters in America. It’s very positive for my career.”

An accomplished amateur, Thomas has been turning heads for some time. After winning the 2005 World Championships, Hall of Fame trainer Emmanuel Steward heaped praise upon the now 20 year old prospect.

Steward, who helped guide the careers of Lennox Lewis, Tommy Hearns, and Jermain Taylor, sees much of the same potential in Thomas with whom he worked during Thomas’s amateur days.

“I have a kid who will be the next big thing, Isiah Thomas," said Steward. "I don't have to teach him much. He’s a gifted athlete.”

Promoter Lou DiBella believes that in Thomas he has found a budding star, and is excited about what this new signing brings to his stable of fighters.

“I think he’s a terrific prospect,” said DiBella. “He has a blend of speed and power that is extremely rare in boxing. That ability, coupled with his amateur experience, makes us believe he is one of the real sleepers in the professional ranks.”

The enthusiasm shared by both Thomas and DiBella has the young fighter confident he has found the right hands in which to entrust his career and vast skill set.

“I’m a boxer-puncher. I’m an entertainer. I have the skills the older fighters had,” said Thomas. “With my skill and their promotional ability, I can be a world champion.”

Siaca calls out Mundine

SAN JUAN, Puerto Rico – Former WBA super middleweight champion Manny Siaca is offering present IBO title-holder Anthony Mundine an opportunity to avenge one of his three pro losses, even if it means fighting Mundine again in his hometown of Sydney.

Five years ago, Siaca captured the WBA super middleweight belt from Mundine, by way of 12-round decision, in Sydney.

The 33-year-old Siaca (22-6, 19 KOs) said his experiment as a light heavyweight is in the past and he’s ready to take on Mundine (36-3, 23 KOs) again. “Since I beat him,” the Puerto Rican boxer said, “he’s fought nobody, only bums, other than Mikkel Kessler, who beat him, too. Mundine is fooling the people of Australia. In 2007, his people talked about him fighting me but they thought it was too risky. Danny Green pulled out of a fight against me, too. I beat Mundine in his backyard and I’ll do it again.See you at the Fights.

Sriyapai relying on experience against youthful Horodecki Lashley-Sapp headlines June 27 MMA PPV show in Biloxi, MS

BILOXI, Miss.- Four-time World Muay Thai title-holder William “The Bull” Sriyapai (12-4-0) feels like fine wine, getting better with age, as he prepares to face exciting Canadian lightweight prospect Chris “The Polish Hammer” Horodecki (12-1-0) in one of the June 27th featured fights on the “Ultimate Chaos” pay-per-view event, airing live from the Mississippi Gulf Coast Coliseum in Biloxi, Mississippi.

Former WWE superstar Bobby Lashley (3-0-0) meets K1 and PRIDE combat fighting legend, Bob “The Beast” Sapp (10-4-1), in the much anticipated showdown on “Ultimate Chaos, presented by Prize Fight Promotions and Fight Force International, in association with the Mississippi Gulf Coast Coliseum, and Treasure Bay Casino.

“Ultimate Chaos” is being produced and distributed by Gotham MMA and Integrated Sports at 9:00PM ET/6:00PM PT in the United States and Canada on cable and satellite Pay Per View via iNDemand, TVN, DirecTV, Bell TV, Shaw, Star Choice and Viewer’s Choice for a suggested retail price of only $29.95.

Veteran blow-by-blow announcer Col. Bob Sheridan and colorful mixed-martial-arts heavyweight Seth “The Silverback” Petruzelli lead the PPV broadcast team that also includes color analyst Bray Deavours and ringside reporter Dave Ferguson.

The 37-year-old Sriyapai, born in Japan and living in Rancho Cucamonga, California, is fighting an opponent 16 years younger in what “The Bull” is calling the fight of his life. “I’m expecting a stand-up fight,” he said, “but every time I crack and opponent they want to take me down. That’s why I’ve been working hard on my ground game and takedown defense. I’m 100-percent confident in my stand-up. Horodecki is a tough kid. He comes straight forward and has good conditioning and stamina. His ground game is a little suspect but he’ll still try and take me down. I’m excited to be fighting on a show like this and I plan on winning the crowd over.

“I know a lot of people will be watching on pay-per-view and I want to dominate and win. If it goes to decision I want all of the scorecards, every round, to be mine. He’s a tough kid and well known, so I need to dominate every round. If I finish it, I finish it. This is a very important fight for me, the most important of my career.”

Three-time UFC heavyweight challenger Pedro “The Rock” Rizzo (16-8-0) faces Dutch knockout artist Gilbert “The Hurricane” Yvel (35-13-1) in the co-feature, while former King Of The Cage and Gladiator Challenge lightweight champion Javier “Showtime” Vasquez (12-2-0) takes on The Ultimate Fighter 4 star Din “Dinyero” Thomas (24-8-0) in a featured match.

Also fighting on the card are welterweight Brett Cooper (9-4-0) vs. Waachiim “Native Warrior” Spirit Wolf (5-4-0), Affliction vice president Tom Atencio (1-0-0) vs. pro debuting lightweight Randy Hedderick, middleweight James Orso (8-3-0) vs. Colby McMahan (3-1-0), The Ultimate Fighter 3 star Danny Abbadi (3-4-0) vs. veteran middleweight Lance Thomson (4-2-0); welterweight Eric Bradley (2-1-0), 2-time All-America wrestler and 2003 NCAA boxing champion at Penn State, vs. Belfast, Northern Ireland brawler Colin McKee (3-2-0).

Ruiz ready for Klitschko if WBA doesn't mandate Valuev-Ruiz III‏

Ruiz ready for Klitschko if WBA rules against his petition to fight Valuev

LAS VEGAS– If the WBA doesn’t rule in favor of a petition filed for two-time WBA heavyweight champion John “The Quietman” Ruiz (43-8-1, 29 KOs) to fight WBA heavyweight champion Nicolai Valuev for the title, Ruiz is prepared to replace injured David Haye as IBF/WBO/IBO heavyweight champion Wladimir Klitschko’s opponent June 20 in Germany.

“I am committed to fighting for the WBA title again because I am the mandatory challenger,” Ruiz explained. “I was robbed twice and I want to knockout ‘The Giant’ this time and take the fight out of the hands of the judges. If the WBA doesn’t stand by its rules and mandate a fight between me and Valuev, I am fully prepared to fight Klitschko, even on short notice.”

Ruiz’ attorney/advisor, Tony Cardinale has called Klitschko’s manager, Shelly Finkel, to let him know that if the WBA fails to mandate Valuev-Ruiz III that Ruiz will be ready, willing and able to fight Klitschko.

No Holds Barred: Kid Peligro Previews 2009 Mundials and ADCC Submission Wrestling World Championship

http://nhbnews.podOmatic.com/entry/2009-06-03T16_27_44-07_00

On this edition of No Holds Barred, host Eddie Goldman once again speaks with our colleague Kid Peligro, a Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu black belt, a senior editor of the ADCC News (http://www.adcombat.com/), and a correspondent on our show.

Our main topic is the 2009 World Jiu-Jitsu Championship (http://www.ibjjf.org/mundial2009registration.htm), also known as the Mundials, which take place Thursday, June 4, through Sunday, June 7, at the Pyramid at California State University Long Beach.

We also discuss the recently completed West Coast Trials for the 2009 ADCC Submission Wrestling World Championship (http://www.adcombat.net/adnet/Wrestling/), and the East Coast Trials (http://www.adccusa.com/), which take place the weekend of June 13-14 at J. Collins Arena at Brookdale Community College in Lincroft, New Jersey. These Trials are qualifiers for 2009 ADCC Submission Wrestling World Championship, which takes place the weekend of September 26-27 in Barcelona, Spain.

In a lengthy interview, we discuss who will compete at these events and who are the favorites to win. We go through the history and significance of these events. We also analyze what they need to do in order to advance to the next level of popularity among the legions of grappling, jiu-jitsu, wrestling, and combat sports aficionados around the world. And as always, we highlight the many benefits and positive values grappling and jiu-jitsu offer to both their competitors and fans.

Team Ruiz officially files petition with WBA demanding purse bid for Valuev-Ruiz III

LAS VEGAS– Team Ruiz has filed an official petition with the World Boxing Association asking that heavyweight Ruslan Chagaev be stripped of his “Champion In Recess” status and demanding an immediate purse bid for Valuev-Ruiz III to be held by August 30 for the World Boxing Association heavyweight title.

Two-time WBA heavyweight champion John “The Quietman” Ruiz (43-8-1, 29 KOs) is the WBA mandated Official Challenger for WBA heavyweight champion Valuev.

Team Ruiz’ petition stated, “As you are aware Ruslan Chagaev has been medically disqualified from participation in the fight against Valuev. According to the express ruling of the WBA on this issue he must accordingly be stripped of any title and Valuev must be ordered to fight John Ruiz, the Official Challenger before August 30, 2009.

“For the record John Ruiz is ready, willing and able to fulfill his obligations as the Official Challenger within the time dictated by Championship regulations, and he demands that no decision regarding this issue be made unless he has an opportunity to be heard by the Championship Committee, unless it is to order a purse bid for the bout between he and Valuev no later than August 30, 2009.”

WBA ruling dated Feb. 2, 2009.

Relating to Chagaev’s obligation to fight Valuev: (par. C, p. 3)

"If Chagaev should incur another injury or other impediment that would prevent him from defending against the Champion, he will vacate whatever title he may hold and will be correspondingly lowered in his ranking."

“I’m ready to go,” Ruiz said. “I’ve been in the gym working hard because I knew something like this would happen. The WBA has to stand by its rules and order a purse bid for Valuev to fight me for the WBA heavyweight title and strip Chageav. This is the third time he hasn’t been able to fight for one reason or another. In baseball he’d be out. How many chances is the WBA going to give this guy? I wish they’d let the fighters in-line for a title shot know, so we’d all have a better idea about when somebody else will be fighting for that title.”

“According to the WBA’s specific rulings,” Ruiz attorney and advisor Anthony Cardinale explained, “it’s over for Chagaev as ‘Champion In Recess.’ Chagaev was medically unable to engage in this fight (vs. Valuev) and the WBA ruling stated he would lose his status if he was unable to fight - no excuses. The WBA mandatory rules revert back and Valuev has to make a mandatory defense by August 30, 2009. The WBA heavyweight title can’t be held hostage. It’s obvious that unsafe medical regulations in Germany regarding Chagaev’s medical condition do not apply anywhere else.”

See you at the Fights.

No Holds Barred: Ricardo Liborio of American Top Team on Art of War 12

No Holds Barred: Ricardo Liborio of American Top Team on Art of War 12

On this edition of No Holds Barred, host Eddie Goldman presents the
fourth and final show in our series reviewing the historic Art of War
12 mixed martial arts card, which we covered live from Beijing, China,
Saturday, May 23, 2009.

For this show, we had the pleasure of having a lengthy discussion with
Ricardo Liborio, the founder and head instructor of the American Top
Team (http://www.americantopteam.com/) in Coconut Creek, Florida, and
the National Coach for USA Grappling, the grappling program of USA
Wrestling (http://themat.com/). This chat took place on an airplane
headed back from China to the U.S. following Art of War 12.

Liborio has been spending a lot of time on airplanes of late, arriving
in China directly from the Netherlands, where he was part of a crowd
of about 25,000 people who witnessed the May 16 It's Showtime (http://
www.itsshowtime.nl/) kickboxing card. That card was headlined by a
fight between two of the top heavyweights in K-1, Badr Hari and Semmy
Schilt, with Hari scoring a stunning knockout of Schilt in just 45
seconds of the first round.

So on our trip back from China, we had a lot of time to discuss many
topics. We spoke of the phenomenon of the It's Showtime card and
kickboxing in Europe, and the potential of kickboxing around the world
to grow as a sport. We analyzed the Art of War 12 card, and the
potential of the Art of War Fighting Championship (http://
mmachina.com) to grow and become one of the most popular mixed martial
arts promotions in the world. We evaluated the top fighters in Art of
War, including Wu Hao Tian and Rolles Gracie, and where they stand
right now as fighters and what their potential is, and much more.

Don King: ‘The WBA Should Strip Ruslan Chagaev’

Don King:‘The WBA Should Strip Ruslan Chagaev’

DEERFIELD BEACH, Fla.—Boxing promoter Don King believes the World Boxing Association must strip Ruslan Chagaev of any claim to its heavyweight championship after the Finnish Boxing Federation reviewed blood tests and refused to allow Chagaev to participate in Saturday’s match against WBA champion Nikolai “Giant Russian” Valuev in Helsinki.

Kevin Iole of Yahoo Sports states his position in a post at: http://sports.yahoo.com/box/news;_ylt=AlxFNu4ZKgQu0_WIeRyKYT.UxLYF?slug=ki-wbatitle060109&prov=yhoo&type=lgns

“Unfortunately for Ruslan Chagaev, he has suffered from a number of different medical maladies that have prevented him from participating in matches since at least 2003,” King said. “Nobody was more familiar with his medical history than the boxer and his promoter, but they still refused to submit to multiple requests for blood tests from the Finnish Boxing Federation until late in the week before Saturday’s match. This was a risk they should not have taken. It resulted in the cancellation of a contest for the WBA heavyweight championship.”

Rumors have swirled regarding Chagaev’s health since at least 2003 when blood tests forced Chagaev to be taken off a card in Australia headlined by Kostya Tszyu vs. Jesse James Leija.

Chagaev’s German-based promoter, Universum, claims their fighter recovered from Hepatitis B in 2006, but the Finnish Boxing Federation, under whose rules Saturday’s match were governed, refused to allow the contest to take place in their jurisdiction for undisclosed medical reasons.

Chagaev won the WBA heavyweight championship by handing then-champion Valuev his first loss in 46 fights on April 14, 2007. While Valuev hasn’t lost since—and in February 2008 won a title eliminator for the right to face Chagaev in a rematch—the Uzbeki has yet to receive medical clearance to be licensed.

The rematch was to have first taken place on May 31, 2008, but Chagaev pulled out with what was described as a protracted virus infection. (In addition, Chagaev was unable to appear in a previously scheduled heavyweight unification match in September 2007 against then-World Boxing Organization titleholder Sultan Ibragimov due to undisclosed medical reasons only described by Universum as “an acute inflammation of the body.”)

Chagaev vs. Valuev II was re-scheduled for July 5, 2008, but Chagaev suffered a ruptured Achilles tendon 10 days prior to the fight on June 26. After discussions, the WBA announced revised rules whereby a titleholder can be considered “champion in recess” due to medical reasons for up to a year after sustaining a recognized injury. Hence, Valuev vs. Chagaev II was scheduled for the third time to take place last Saturday (May 30) in Helsinki.

“I wanted the WBA to strip Chagaev after the Achilles injury,” King said. “The WBA said ‘let’s make him champion in recess’ and I saw that they were simply trying to do everything they could to help this man. It wasn’t my first choice, but I understood it.”

“Now it is my job as co-promoter of Nikolai Valuev with my partners at Sauerland Event to point out that the WBA ruled Chagaev had until June 26 to face Valuev, and he did not accomplish this. The Finnish Boxing Federation rejected Chagaev for medical reasons, and the rules of the WBA clearly state that they recognize and respect the rules of the local governing authority wherever a match may take place—in this instance, Finland.”

King added, “I applaud the Finnish Commission for standing up for the health and welfare of the fighters. It goes beyond money; they chose health before wealth. I believe the WBA will do the right thing as well by announcing Nikolai Valuev as its undisputed heavyweight champion.”

“I don’t believe the WBA will ignore the objective, empirical proof presented by the Finnish Boxing Federation.”

See you at the Fights.

No Holds Barred: Wu Hao Tian, Rolles Gracie, and Carlos Santos on Art of War 12

On this edition of No Holds Barred, host Eddie Goldman presents the
second in our series of shows reviewing the historic Art of War 12
mixed martial arts card, which we covered live from Beijing, China,
Saturday, May 23, 2009.

We begin by commenting on some aspects of the international economic
situation which affect the growth of the Art of War Fighting
Championship (http://mmachina.com), in which the economy of China is
rising while those of the West and elsewhere are declining. We also
comment on some positive and helpful suggestions which have been made
to the Art of War Fighting Championship about making their fight
videos and information more available online.

Right after the Art of War 12 card concluded at the National Olympic
Sports Centre Gymnasium in Beijing, we had a chance to speak about
this card with Carlos Santos, the head coach of the Emirates Brazilian
Jiu-Jitsu Team (http://emiratesone.blogspot.com/).

We spoke with the Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu star and now mixed martial arts
fighter Rolles Gracie of Brazil and the U.S. about his first round
victory over Baga Agaev of Russia on this card by rear naked choke.

And, at the postfight banquet, we spoke with the top star of this
show, the 22-year-old phenom from China, Wu Hao Tian, who defeated
Yutaka Kobayashi of Japan by TKO in the first round.

“Tank” Abbott & Jimmy Ambriz challenge Bob “The Beast” Sapp on Fight Engine web site

LAS VEGAS– The revolutionary www.fightengine.com state-of-the-art website has picked-up steam with the registration of the first “name” fighters, David “Tank” Abbott and Jimmy Ambriz, who have challenged combat fighting legend Bob “The Beast” Sapp through the site’s “KO The Pro” section.

Fight Engine is changing the way mixed-martial-arts fighters – professionals, amateurs and even neighborhood tough guys -- market themselves and develop strong fan bases.

The “KO the Pro” section is where top-level fighters post action videos as other fighters battle for selection in a “KO the Pro” match-up. The first “KO The Pro” features Sapp, one of the key advisors for www.fightengine.com.

Abbott and Ambriz are legitimate challengers, true fighter’s fighters who have never backed down from a good fight. They’ve been in the cage and ring with fighting monsters. The 6-0, 250-pound “Tank” fought in the UFC for nine years and he’s brawled with the likes of Frank Mir, Pedro Rizzo, Kimo Leopoldo, Vitor Belfort and Dan Savern. WCO and former King of the Cage champion Ambritz, all 6-0 and 315-pounds, has mixed it up with Josh Barnett, Jeff Monson and Ricco Rodriguez. Fans may checkout his trash talking video at www.fightengine.com.

FightEngine.com works with MMA fighters to gain International notoriety. Registered fighters from around the world, whether a veteran or novice, may post his or her video and challenge other registered fighters, allowing each participant to accept or deny challenges, as well as express their semi-uncensored opinions about any posted challenges.

Equally valuable is the opportunity for MMA fighters from around the world, even those under contract and prohibited from participating in Fight Engine’s “super card,” can still use the web site as a marketing tool to get an edge on the opposition and build fans bases. Smack talk is allowed, challenges encouraged, and the Babes of Fight Engine constantly drive traffic to the site.

Even fighters contractually prohibited from fighting in the FightEngine.com event can benefit from posting action videos instead of forcing fans to work their way through and around You Tube. Registered fighters may gauge their popularity through one web site, at one location, through www.FightEngine.com and its fan feedbacks.

Promoters and managers have a brand new way to scout talent and fans become real matchmakers, publicly criticizing video-posted fighters as well as arguing with other fans regarding which fighters they want matched against each other.

A non-discriminatory source providing male and female fighters, as well as ring girls, FightEngine.com also offers opportunities to gain invaluable exposure on its popular website. Promoters and managers have started closely monitoring fightengine.com to scout and discover their next street fighting prospects and future MMA stars.

For a few selected MMA fighters, Fightengine.com offers a unique opportunity to earn a guaranteed five-figure purse, sign a potential six-figure promotional contract, paid travel expenses and, in the not too distant future, hopefully, other life-changing benefits through membership.

Fans can get in on the action simply by registering on the website to become quasi-matchmakers, picking fighters they’d like to watch in matches, in addition to commenting about fights other spectators propose.

A thermometer can be found on the right-hand side of the website, which illuminates on a rising basis, according to the amount of registered fighters and, subsequently, fights will be arranged when the thermometer reaches its full apex.

See you at the Fights.
Thanks for your time.
