Warriors Collide 7 : THE GALLERY STARTS AT THE END THEN GOES TO SOME EARLY BEST SHOTS PREFIGHT  AND THEN THE FIRST FIGHT RIGHT ON THRU "VIEW IN ALL THUMBS"

Left Hook Productions Promoters Heather "COOP" Cooperman, Laura Devlin, Natalia Selin & Match Maker Larry Borden Presented Warriors Collide 7 at War Memorial Ft. Lauderdale Florida jan 24, 2009. It was full of high kicking and fast hitting action. Left Hook Poductions put's on the #1 ISKA event in the State. VIP's. FANS ,Fighters and always the best matched fights anywhere.
 
The Results and Word from Left Hook
Young Tigers Samuel Alonzo made his record 3-0, winning by decision over debuter Edir Terry of FFA. Edir took the fight after Javier Baez became injured.. you should expect to see Samuel and Javi locking it up in the future!  Both guys want a chance to take down the other, expect fireworks fans!
 
MJ Holland of Fizogen, had his debut spoiled by Mustafa Malik. Mustafa, who trains under Mark Sinopoli , moves to 3-0.  This one ended in decision, we are looking forward to having both these guys in another WC event!
 
Sheldon Cobbler had to work extra hard to improve his record to 2-1. Steve Scobe's debut earned him a few stitches, sure to add a little more fuel to his training. I've no doubt he'll be in Bears Den working hard with profighter Chris DeCaro.
 
A Big thanks to John Hangual of FFA for offering his handy work, and it paid off for him!  FFA and Young Tigers agreed on this match at about 5:30, just showing that you NEVER KNOW when you might get a chance to step in the ring. Being prepared, its just part of being a fighter!!   John moves his KB record to 3-0 vs Alexis Ogando 2-1.
 
In our Grappling match.. Pablo Popovich's student, Fred Moncaio, redeems himself by earning the win against Tough Academy's Mike Langebeck.  Fred was very disappointed in his last match at BAB2 and promised us a win at WC7! Great work ethic by both teams!
 
Greg Pesetsky of Round 2 Kickboxing puts his debut loss behind him by nabbing the win against debuter Jeff Jones.  Jeff got injured early in the fight and could not continue after the first round.  While incredibly disappointed, Jeff showed tons of heart!
 
Calvin Higgins of ATA and Jarrod Arndt of Shihan Moti MMA were intense.  Jarrod didn't have an ounce of quit in him and Calvin wasn't backing down either... a little blood here never hurt anyone!  Calvin edged Jarrod with the win, making him 1-0 and Jarrod 2-2.
 
We at LHP are sad to see him go but will be cheering him on: Alan Arzeno of South Florida MMA.  Alan is one of those guys that when you see him in the ring he's just a beast, and when you get to know him is an absolute gentleman.  Getting a guy to step in with him was no easy task.  Alan was 4-0 coming into this fight, 3 of those by TKO.  KO Club Danny Lemo stepped up to the challenge!  First round these two were banging it out, in the second Alan did what Alan does: throws bombs to put you out.  Alan ended the fight by TKO.  He completes his amateur status with a 5-0 record and debuts as a pro  mma fighter on Feb 14 in Daytona Beach FL.  All the best to you, Alan!!!
 
Co Main Event:  Raul Irizarry Inferno MMA 2-0 vs Denis Hernandez 4-1 FFA
This is the BEST Raul we have seen yet!  Denis is a warrior!!  At one point the two were clinched and fell with Raul on top of Denis- both legs under his body. This could easily have been a career ending fall blowing out both knees.  Luckily, Denis jumped up and shook it off. AMAZING!!!  Superman punches, body kicks, leg kicks, this match had it all!  In the end Raul got the win moving to 3-0!  Denis will have to find one more victory in order to regain his chance at a title.  After the fight, he told us that keeping his mind on the chance at a belt is what motivated him to keep going!
 
Left Hook SuperFight: 140lb Warriors Collide Belt.
Caleb Archer 6-2 ATT vs Carlos Garcia Young Tigers 6-2
Anyone wondering where the superstars we watch today learned to be so technical in the stand up game, needs to see the video of this match.  Both young men came to collect that belt!  Trading punching combo's and kicks to the ribs kept the 4 rounds of action very close. At times you might feel bad for the judges, having to score a fight that was this close. Either way you knew one camp was going to be upset.  That night, Caleb got the better of the fight and went home with that beautiful belt!!
 
Congratulations to all of you WARRIORS!! YOU ROCK!!!

XFC 7 SHOOL OF HARD KNOCKS : FOR AL THE PHOTOS    http://24seven.smugmug.com/24%20Seven%20at%20the%20Fights/724391


The Next Generation of MMA Superstars Graduate with Honors at XFC 7: “School of Hard Knox”

Undefeated Heavyweight Chad Corvin, Ex-UT Linebacker Ovince St. Preux Prevail in the First-Ever Pro MMA Fight Card in Tennessee History

DATE: 2/21/09

CONTACT: Scott Pinsker, 727.871.3204 or spinsker@fwv-us.com 

 

Knoxville, TN: As the first professional Mixed Martial Arts fight card ever allowed in the state of Tennessee, XFC 7: “School of Hard Knox” was history-making even before the first bell chimed. Taking place at Thompson-Boling Arena on the campus of the University of Tennessee in Knoxville, the promotion showcased some of the top emerging talent in the sport, including a pair of undefeated heavyweights, Chad Corvin and Scott Barrett, in the main event. And because of the fast fists and electrifying knockouts during the fight card, XFC 7 also made history by catapulting the careers of the next generation of MMA champions to the cusp of superstardom – and perhaps converting the state of Tennessee into MMA fans in the process.

 

Ovince St. Preux, the ex-University of Tennessee linebacker and “wedge-busting” special teams ace, received the loudest ovation from the crowd – and opponent CT Turner of Tampa, Florida certainly received the loudest boos, especially after taunting the audience by expressing his support for the Florida Gators with a theatrical “Gator Chomp” while walking to the cage. In pre-fight trash-talk, Turner vowed to “destroy Ovince like the Gators destroyed the Volunteers in football,” but St. Preux definitively silenced Turner with a jaw-busting rear leg kick to the chin that blasted Turner to the canvas. Out cold, the referee immediately stopped the fight at 2:36 in round one. 

 

“Oh boy, when I saw him do the Gator Chomp, I knew I had to win this fight!” exclaimed St. Preux. “Otherwise I’d never hear the end of it. CT is a great athlete, but he kept putting his hands down. The moment I saw him drop his hands, I just knew I was going to connect with that kick. It’s a great feeling getting the knockout of the night, and I can’t wait to do it again!”

 

Immediately after the fight ended, XFC president John Prisco announced to the audience that St. Preux had earned a return bout in XFC and would appear in the organization’s next promotion in Knoxville on April 25. “That was one of the most devastating knockouts I’ve ever seen in my life,” remarked Prisco. “He nearly knocked CT’s head clean off his neck. Ovince deserves another chance to fight in the XFC, and he has an opportunity to do something very, very special in his young MMA career.”

 

In a shocking upset, unheralded Sarah Wilson of Waterloo, Iowa submitted four-time female world boxing champion Chevelle Hallback at 2:36 in the first round. Hallback’s raw physical strength and pure punching power initially staggered Wilson, but the 21-year-old fighter from Iowa locked in a triangle from the mount and refused to release it, forcing Hallback to eventually tap out at 3:03 in the first round.

 

“Coming into the fight, I knew I was going to be the underdog,” said Wilson. “Chevelle is unbelievably strong – and she’s actually one of the nicest girls I’ve ever met – but my teammates pushed me hard. I worked specifically on takedowns and in the clinch. And I didn’t travel all the way from Iowa to lose.”

 

XFC president John Prisco congratulated Wilson on her stunning victory, saying afterwards: “This fight epitomizes what the XFC is all about, and that’s providing an opportunity for undiscovered talent to achieve their dreams and launch their young careers. We don’t protect fighters in the XFC, no matter who they are. Sarah elevated her profile in the sport with that outstanding victory, but I don’t think we’ve seen the last of Chevelle. Her ground game and jujitsu just needs to catch up with her boxing.”

 

In the main event, undefeated heavyweights Chad Corvin of Elizabethtown, Kentucky and Scott Barrett of Atlanta, Georgia met in a highly anticipated showdown between rising contenders. Early on, Barrett tried to neutralize Corvin’s vaunted punching power by wrestling Corvin to the ground, to mixed success: Barrett managed to take Corvin off his feet, but even while on his back, Corvin kept firing haymakers. Both fighters arose from the canvas several seconds later and collided awkwardly; Barrett suddenly dropped to the ground, holding his knee and writhing in agony, unable to continue. The referee stopped the bout due to injury 1:30 in the first round.

 

“A win is a win, but it’s a shame he blew his knee out,” said Chad Corvin. “I knew his game plan was to take me down, but I can still hit hard from the ground. It’s just a real shame it had to end like that.” Regardless, Barrett became Corvin’s fifth straight opponent to be stopped in the first round – with none of these opponents even lasting two minutes against the 23-year-old, 250-pound heavyweight.

 

Local favorite Shane Matchette of Knoxville exploded in round one against Gerardo Julio Gallegos of Lexington, Kentucky, forcing the action with his fists and ground games. But Matchette was caught at the end of the first with a vicious left-right combination that jolted him off his feet, and he stayed down for several seconds after the bell chimed. Matchette appeared to recover between rounds, pressing the action once again in the beginning of round two, but Gallegos upended him with a sudden takedown, stopping him by TKO with a flurry of punches at 1:41 in the second.

 

Nate Jolly of Cincinnati, Ohio out-dueled Johnny Cardona of Miami, Florida in a back-and-forth barnburner on the undercard, finally catching his opponent with a barrage of lefts and rights at 3:52 in the third round. Jolly has a 21-2 amateur record, a 2-0 professional record, and took third place in the Olympic Trials in wrestling for three straight years. 

 

Afterwards, John Prisco reflected on a historic night of Mixed Martial Arts: “Our goal was to introduce professional MMA to the state of Tennessee and showcase to the audience exactly what makes this sport so special. Well, this was a night full of outstanding fights, jaw-dropping knockouts, amazing upsets, and dedicated young warriors with big punches and even bigger hearts. I’m absolutely convinced that not only will the XFC grow MMA in Tennessee, but when we return to Knoxville on April 25, the sport will be even bigger. We’re building something with staying power here, and I’m so grateful to the Knoxville community for welcoming us with open arms. With your support, I promise you – MMA and the XFC will be here for a very long time.”
