    This Article comes from SLC MMA
    To see the full original article click here

    No matter who you are, its good to take time and analyze fights to sharpen your mental game.

    For U of U students, the assignment is as follows:

    Go to http://www.allthebestfights.com/best-mma-fights-of-2011/

    Watch any one of the fights of your choosing.

    Post a comment in this post using your first name and first letter of your last name. (Eg. Bart B, Mike F, etc)

    State the fight you watched at the begining of the comment. (Eg. “Jim Miller vs Melvin Guillard)

    Following the title, in about 200 words summarize the fight briefly and attempt to analyze the keys to victory for the winner. If one fighter was faster, stronger, a better striker … or even just lucky, explain how things played out. Think about how fighting style, aggression and technique may have affected the winner’s victory. Use all the knowledge at your disposal to craft your insights – don’t worry about being perfect or knowing it all, just do your best.

    Before hitting the “submit comment” button read the comment  OUT LOUD to yourself and make any changes you’d need to. Remember, if you type something like ” XOXOX I lulz’d and <3  MMA so when d00d got jacked from kickz i was like OMG! ;) ” the spirits of justice and grammar will find where you live and punch you in the face next time you fall asleep. Also, I will not accept your assignment.

    Remember, after submitting your comment, it will not immediately show – they go to my inbox for approval before being visible.

    If you have any questions, let me know.

    • WCFC: Last Man Standing

    This Article comes from FightingOutOf.net
    To see the full original article click here

    Back in the infancy of MMA it was one night of fights, except you could fight multiple people. In the first UFC they had “No Holds Bar” fights, where anything but gouging out eyes or fish hooking an orifice was allowed. Today it’s much different. There are rules to keep fighters safe, and commissions are in place to make sure of it. The days of tournaments have long been gone — until now.

    World Championship Full Contact, better known as the WCFC, is a promotion that has a strong presence in Utah and Idaho. WCFC is holding a tournament on Jan. 20 at the UCCU Events Center on the UVU campus in Orem.

    Previously, the WCFC held a 155-pound tournament won by Steven “Razor” Sharp. The tournament was one of the most exciting night of fights Utah has seen in recent history. Now the excitement is back.

    The upcoming tournament, “Last Man Standing 2,” will consist of five-minute rounds, with the winner fighting a total of three rounds. There will be two tournaments happening at the event: 170 pounds and the heavy guys ranging from 206 to 265 pounds.

    This tournament has brought fighters from all over the country. This exciting night will have a total of 16 fighters, putting it all on the line for the chance to call themselves a WCFC Champion and take home a hefty fight purse of $4,000 to $6,000. Eight fighters from the welter- and heavy-weight divisions will be on a mission to submit or knock out anyone put in front of them.

    Some of these fighters have fought in the UFC, such as Brandon “The Murderer” Melendez and Kasey “Ice Cold” Uscola. Some are relative unknowns who are on the fringe of becoming the next household name of MMA. The welter-weights will consist of Kyacey Uscola, Scott Pike, Mike Arrant, James Birdsley, Brandon Melendez, Ben Smith, Kirt Patterson and Ryker Ranstrom. The heavy-weights fighting that night will be Fabiano Scherner, Liua Fonua, DJ Linderman, Juan Hernandez, Jack May, Kyle Keeney,Ty Lee and Rodrigo Artilheiro. Every fight this night will be “Main Event” worthy any other weekend, but we get a whole night of them this time.

    The fights were randomly drawn, and here are the matchups:

    Heavy Weights:

    •Fabiano Scherner vs. Liua Fonua
    •DJ Linderman vs. Juan Hernandez
    •Jack May vs. Kyle Keeney
    •Ty Lee vs. Rodrigo Artilheiro
    Welter Weights:

    •Kyacey Uscola vs.Scott Pike
    •Mike Arrant vs. James Birdsley
    •Brandon Melendez vs. Ben Smith
    •Kirt Patterson vs. Ryker Ranstrom

    • Quick video tip: Jab – Cross – Knee (Frankie Edgar style)

    This Article comes from SLC MMA
    To see the full original article click here

    Here’s UFC champion Frankie Edgar teaching a basic combo, using the standard Jab-Cross to set up a clinch where knees to the face and body will be delivered.  Notice how crisp his defense is even while throwing strikes and how he circles while disengaging.  We worked a slightly different version of this in class, and its nice to see how its done by an elite striker.

    • Fight King "Martinez VS. Montoya"

    This Article comes from FightingOutOf.net
    To see the full original article click here

    Rad Martinez and Lucas Montoya will face off in a King Fight fundraising event Jan. 13 at 7 p.m. in The Rail Events Center. The event will raise money for Traumatic Brain Injuries, an issue colse to Rad Martinez’s heart. Martinez’s father was the victim of a traumatic brain injury after a car accident. Martinez has been his father’s main caretaker and fights to make a living for father, as well as himself.

    “Rad’s story and how it influenced me, is why I am doing this, it’s not for fame or anything like that,” said Joey Montanez of Fight King.

    Montanez himself is no stranger to giving back; he’s given proceeds to other causes such as The Fraternal Order of Police, Juvenile Diabetes and Cause for Paws.

    The Rail event center is located at 235 N. 500 West. Doors open at 6, fights start at 7.

    The Fight King Marinez-Montoya main event is actually a fight that was supposed to have happened once already. Rad Martinez and Lucas were supposedto meet in the cage at a previous Fight King venue. But with Rad Martinez being signed to Bellator, and now fighting on a large stage, it kept the fight from happening.

    Martinez and Lucas will finally be able to settle a score in Salt Lake City that’s been in the making for some time. Martinez was given permission by Bellator to take a fight outside of their promotion.

    Now, one would think that Bellator allowed the fight because Montoya isn’t a threat. This may not be further from the truth, though. By many, Montoya is considered one of Utah’s best 155-pound fighters. Montoya has even beaten a Bellator vet in Nick Mamalis.

    “I think it’s a compliment and a challenge that they are letting me fight Rad,” said Montoya, who said he thinks he has a great chance at victory. The confidence Lucas has in his skills are forged in the gym. Montoya an Assassin Jiutsu Fighter, trains at Labota MMA as well as Foley’s MMA.

    This will be Montoya’s first time in the cage since suffering a broken leg. He says he’s 100 percent and is ready for the fight
