| January 2011: Time for the new year! Get in and get training. No more excuses, it's time to do something for yourself. Get a great workout and learn some serious Martial Arts skills. May 22nd, 2010 ** Wes lost on a controversial ref stoppage at Bad Blood Muay Thai. He dropped his opponent in the 2nd round but later took a couple of shots and for some reason the ref stepped in. Look for Wes to be back soon......... Nov 7th & 14th: On November 7th Omur lost a decision to Bellator Veteran Estevan Payan. It was a close fight that a 100% Omur could win. November 14th: Matt Dell lost a decision to UFC veteran George Roop. Matt never got his game going and Roop fought a very safe fight to get the decision. Oct 3rd: Omur's opponent NO showed. Omur handled it well. Look for him to return on Nov 7th as a main event in Prescott. Matt Dell fought for the featherweight title. Matt got rocked by a head kick to start the fight. His opponent pounced on him. Matt kept his composure and set up a great triangle choke to win the title by tap out!!! Congratulations to Matt Dell on winning the RITC featherweight title! October 3rd at Celebrity Theatre Rage in the Cage: TWO MAIN EVENTS!! Omur Cor returns to the cage and he is going to dish out some punishment. His opponent trains with UFC veteran Drew Fickett but Omur is pushing his training to another level. Matt Dell also returns and steps right into the fire with a Featherweight Title Match against the very tough champ Ray Robinson. Look for fireworks in this one!! August 22nd at Buffalo Wild Wings in Mesa:Steve Farber made his fight debut. It was a Muay Thai match and his opponent was much taller. His opponent came out throwing kicks and Steve was a little hesitant at first. In the 2nd round he finally let his hands go. He had his opponent rocked. His opponent kept clinching and working knees to stop Steve's barrage of punches. Steve was tired in the third but kept on working. The judges ruled it a decision in favor of his opponent for the clinch work but other coaches told me we got robbed on the decision. Look for Steve to get back to work in the gym and come back even stronger. July 18th: Rage in the Cage at Gila River Casino Dave was our first fight of the night. Dave's opponent wanted to stand and brawl and Dave decided to do the same. They were both giving/taking punches but Dave got caught and rocked. The ref stepped in and stopped it. Dave will be back and look for him to use his technique next time. Bobby was up next. His opponent was coached by WEC champ Jamie Varner. Bobby circled and used some effective striking. His opponent was strong and took him down. Bobby used a nice rubber guard into an Oma-plata. His opponent used his strength to escape but was reversed in the process. The next round his opponent just tried to smother Bobby and take him down. It went to the third where his opponent tried more of the same. Bobby unleashed right hands that found their mark. His opponent was staggered but held on. The judges ruled it a split decision for his opponent. Good first fight for Bobby. He only got hit a couple of times and definitely gave out more punishment. June 6th: RITC is having another show in Casa Grande. Look for Bobby to make his debut and possibly for Dave to also fight. The amateur rules have been changed so ALL CLOSED FIST standing. This is great news for our fighters as we have the best striking in the Valley! March 27th Hacienda Harley Davidson- Dave looked great and worked some excellent stand up. His opponent worked a takedown that signaled the end for him. Dave set up a triangle for the submission win! Colten also looked great and composed. He worked some great knees and some GnP. He finally slapped on a guillotine for the win with 2 seconds left in the round. Feb 28th: Dave lost a split decision. He had several solid submission attempts and good striking. He didn't get hit once. Omur won a tough fight against an opponent who broke every rule in the book! Jan 31st fights are cancelled. RITC had a problem getting a permit from the city of Goodyear. January 31st: RITC at Buffalo Wild Wings in Goodyear. David Solorio will make his fight debut. After the fight you can watch the UFC in the restaurant. Hopefully we will be allowed closed fists so Dave can end it early. January 9th: Former AFTC fighter JR Schumacher fought WEC/TUF vet Jesse Forbes at MTX Audio Fight night. JR rocked Forbes but was taken down, gave up his back, and the ref had to stop the fight after JR took numerous shots. JR was not happy with the training he received in Colorado and will be switching gyms to find better training. Congrats to our MMA team which finished 2008 with a 9-4 record. Two loses were by cuts and 2 were by decision. We had wins by KO, Submission, and one decision. Look for our guys to improve and look for new fighters to debut in 2009!!! UsAirways Center Nov 8th. Colten was first up. It was his 3rd fight in a couple of months. His opponent was much larger/stronger. Colten slapped on tons of armbars in the first round. His opponent was so strong that he powered out of them. Colten was then gassed and took some shots in the second. He recovered a little in the third with some excellent knees but his opponent managed several takedowns to win a decision. colten will rest up and be back in 2009. Matt Dell made his return after a year off.. He came out and executed an excellent double leg takedown. He defended an armbar and then used some ground and pound to set up an americana. His opponent tapped out. Matt looks to resume his new win streak in early 2009. Sept 27th - Prescott Arena Colten and Omur competed for RITC. Colten was first up and showed some good patience. He worked a take down and did some GnP on his opponent. He then stood the fight back up. His opponent got a takedown and Colten worked an arm bar for the win. He is on a 2 fight win streak. Omur's opponent was undefeated. Omur started slow. His opponent won the first round. Omur turned it up in the second. He rocked his opponent with a good combo. His opponent then took him down to survive. Omur worked an arm bar and his opponent defended. He then took his opponents back and had the RNC but the bell rang. In the third his opponent threw a high kick. His knee hit Omur and opened up a cut on his eye. The doctor stopped the fight. Sept 13th - Ft McDowell - Bad Boy Boxing Joel looked good in his first competition. We had to work around a broken nose so he wasn't able to open up his game. He lost a decision but looked good. Eric made it to the finals. He got knocked down in the first round but came on in the second. In the third his opponent was gassed and looking for a way out. He kept running and taking punishment from Eric. The ref was on his way to stop the match when the bell rang. Somehow the judges gave the decision to his opponent. Even people working for the event told us he was robbed. August 23rd Celebrity Theatre: Josh's opponent was announced as 4-2 and outweighed Josh by 6 pounds. Josh opened up with some wicked leg kicks. His opponent shook his head and acted like they did not hurt. He tried to clinch with Josh and ate some strikes to the head. He eventually got a take down but Josh punished him from the bottom so he let him up. Big Mistake. Josh unleashed a head kick that sent his mouth piece flying out of the cage into the 2nd row. Josh started walking away as his opponent slumped into the cage. The referee signaled him to continue as his opponent shook his head like it didn't hurt. So Josh unloaded a kick to the body, right hook to the head, and another head kick. The ref finally stepped in and stopped it. I will give his opponent credit in that he can take a beating but he made the highlight reel for it. July 26th - Tim's Toyota Center Arena in Prescott Over 3000 people packed the arena. Josh was first up. His opponent did not want to stand with Josh. He tried hard to get the takedown. Josh countered and punished him but he finally got the takedown. Josh unleashed some serious strikes from the bottom. He then swept his opponent and hit him at the same time. His opponent flipped over and was out cold. KO for Josh. Colten was up next. He started with a flying knee and then tried to work a guillotine. His opponent got a takedown and Colten went for an armbar. He was pushed against the cage so he couldn't get it. He created space and switched to an inverted armbar. Colten wins by tapout. Sal was the co-main event. His opponent came out throwing bombs. Sal countered and caught his opponent. He was then pushed up against the cage while his opponent went for a takedown. His opponent was able to pick up Sal for a huge slam. In the meantime Sal slipped in a guillotine choke and was able to work it and tap out his opponent. Sal wins by choke. 3 wins, 0 losses JUNE 14th: Bad Boy Boxing. Wes, Alex, and Ricardo competed in the amateur boxing event. Wes lost his first fight to a 290#'s of muscle. Look for Wes to continue working on conditioning and he will be back in a ring/cage in the future. Alex won his first fight by TKO. He was then in the finals. He had a great couple of rounds and got a little tired in the 3rd. We thought he had it won. It was a split decision for the other guy. He was robbed! Ricardo won his first fight by decision. 2nd fight by TKO and in the finals his opponent could not answer the bell for the 2nd round after being dropped twice in the first. Ricardo is the Light weight champion!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! APRIL 26th: Shane O'Dell did great in his first boxing match at Bad Boy Boxing. He lost a close decision. Great job by Shane, he will be back in the ring soon. April 11th Celebrity Theatre: 3 Fighters competed. We had JR and Omur as main event fights. "Little: Sal started off the night. He took his opponent down and dished out some punishing ground and pound. His opponent verbally quit after 2 minutes. Sal wins! Next up was JR. His opponent was undefeated. JR took him down to start. Got reversed mounted and gave up his back. Didn't look good for JR. Survived the round. 2nd/3rd round. JR took his opponent down and applied some devastating ground n pound. His opponent had no answer. JR wins a unanimous decision! Omur was up last as the main event. The fight started and his opponent came out swinging wild. Omur was patient and was waiting for his opponent to gas. He defended a take down and dished out a couple of shots. Suddenly the ref halted the fight. Omur had a cut on his eyebrow. The Doctor checked it and stopped the fight. (see picture page for cut). Omur was upset but nothing we could do. He didn't get beat he got cut.
Bad Boy Boxing! Ricardo Marquez and Eric Ogden thought they would give it a try. Both guys did great. Ricardo won his first two fights and made it to the finals. He lost but did a great job in his first two fights. Eric won his first two fights by TKO. In the finals he was overpowered by a giant 270# athlete. Good job by both guys. MARCH 15th at Casa Grande for Rage in the Cage. Alex was denied his fighters license because he is nearsighted. He did not fight but we are working on his appeal. "Little" Sal made his fight debut. His opponent took him down repeatedly but could not pass his guard and did no damage to Sal. Sal's cardio was on empty after the first round so he was unable to be aggressive. He is ready to go and will be fighting again on April 11th. Omur was the main event of the night. He fought a local fighter with a lot of experience. His opponent hit hard but Omur has skill. He weathered some flurries and then opened up himself. He sent his opponents mouthpiece flying and almost had him KO'd but the bell saved him in the 1st round. Omur turned it up in the 2nd and landed some wicked body punches and a left to the head that sent his opponent down to the canvas. The ref stepped in and saved him from serious injury. Omur wins by big TKO!! November 11th: In Europe our Belgian "affiliates" Kim and Hyun will be competing in a European MMA tournament. Hopefully we will have some pictures/video to post.
champions fight. Look for him to continue to improve and get back in the ring/cage next year. Oct 13th at Cliff Castle Casino JR defended his MW title belt. He had a torn calf muscle for the past 2 weeks and was unable to run/cardio. His opponent was coached by UFC/WEC fighter Jamie Varner. The first round was back and forth. JR controlled the action and should have won this round. In the 2nd JR found his range and rocked his opponent. He was very close to the KO. His opponent was a striker but realized he would get put to sleep if he tried to strike in the 3rd round. He went for takedowns and JR was unable to defend because of the torn calf. It was an uneventful round with lots of back and forth action on the ground. The judges awarded a split decision to his opponent. JR proved he is one of the top fighters in Arizona with this fight. He will heal up and be back in 2008.
It was featured on HDNet's Inside MMA show with Bas Rutten. It starts around the 16-17 minute mark. Click on the link below! http://www.hd.net/imma102.html Sept 15th JR wins the RITC Middleweight Title JR started the fight with a high kick and slipped. His opponent jumped on him and tried a guillotine from guard. JR countered and picked up his opponent. He then KO's him with a huge power slam. Look for JR to defend his title on Oct 13th at Cliff Castle Casino. Also Sal Azuela will be fighting UFC veteran Edwin Dewees on the same card. UPDATE- Edwin has backed out of the fight. We don't know if Sal will be fighting on the Oct. card! July 22nd in Tucson at the Wildcat House: We sent 3 fighters down to compete in a new promotion; Caged Supremacy. This event is promoted by Mollie Frye/Rhonda VerHalen (Mollie is Don Frye's wife). JR was our first fighter up. His opponent came out with 2 flags and make a big spectacle of his entrance. JR just stepped up into the cage. He then quickly showed his opponent the difference between being a man and a boy. After about 10 seconds of feeling JR's relentless punishment he wanted nothing to do with him and started running away. JR then caught him with a kick to the body that dropped him and then 2 right hands KO'd him. Omur was up next and his opponent did not want to stand with him at all. He got a takedown and Omur worked some great defense on the ground. He escaped a lot of submission attempts and bad positions. It was basically turned into a grappling match by his opponent. It went to the 2nd round and Omur got caught with a RNC and had to tap. He did a great job and hopefully his next opponent will show up to fight and not just grapple. Matt was up next for the lightweight title fight. Matt just never got going. He showed some good stand up defense but just never turned it on offensively. It was a frustrating fight for us. Matt lost a decision. Look for pictures soon. June 30th at Celebrity Theatre: Omur Cor and Matt Dell both won their fights. Omur stopped his opponent in the 3rd round with some punishing strikes. Matt won a decision after his opponent fish hooked him to escape a triangle. The ref had no clue! ******* |
