Figured this might be a fun thread. Obviously for the lesser known promotions and the up-and-coming fighters who aren't quite headed for the big shows yet. Now that MMA is sanctioned in PA, I hope they bring some good cards to Philly. I'll try to bump and update this when cool shit happens. Most of this stuff I'll be pulling pull from the major blogs and sites, so I'm sure other folks here can contribute more than I can. Of course, it is mandatory that we bump this every time Dan fucking Severn fights.

Friday was Shine Fights sophomore effort "ATT vs. The World." Shine's Florida based and they seem to have a lot of potential. ATT swept the show in case you gave a shit. Here are the results:

-Roan Carneiro def. Jorge Patino via unanimous decision
-Yves Edwards def. James Warfield via submission (triangle choke) - Round 2, 4:48
-Luiz Firmino def. Ryan Healy via unanimous decision
-Flavio Alvaro def. Jean Silva via Majority decision
-Micah Miller def. Anthony Morrison via submission (arm-triangle choke) - Round 2, 4:25
-Junior Assuncao def. Pete Grimes via split decision
-Herbert Goodman def. James Brasco via TKO (strikes) - Round 3, 3:24
-Brian Fuery def. Phil Friedman via submission (neck crank) - Round 1, 2:03

Good to see Yves doing his thing. Hopefully he'll get another good run in.

In Aruba last Saturday, Vendetta FC hosted an 8-man LHW tournament with a pretty deep field. Apparently the show's gonna air on Fox Sports South or something like that on Oct 1:

First round
-Aaron Stark def. Angelo Araujo via unanimous decision
-Rodney Wallace def. Gregory Milliard via unanimous decision
-Antwain Britt def. Carmelo Marrero via unanimous decision
-Richard Hale def. Evan Nedd via majority decision

Semi-finals
-Rodney Wallace def. Aaron Stark via submission (kimura) - round 2, 2:18
-Antwain Britt def. Richard Hale via majority decision

Tournament final
-Rodney Wallace def. Antwain Britt via submission (armbar) - round 1, 3:59

Superfight:
-Derrick Noble def. Shonie Carter via unanimous decision

Never seen this Wallace guy before, but he's apparently 8-0 and he subbed two pretty tough guys to win this. Surprised to see Marrero go in the frist round. It seems like he's been struggling at 205 for some reason. Maybe Britt's wrestling is better than I thought. Obviously Carmelo won't be finding his way back to the UFC any time soon.

If you have nothing better to do on Saturday (09/12), you might be interested in some of these shows.


In Amarillo, TX. MMAWeekly's gonna stream it on their site for $5.95. Bas Rutten and Ron Kruck are gonna do the commentary. Some fights:
-Don Frye vs. Dave Herman
-Gerald Harris vs. Nissen Osterneck
-Phil Cardella vs. Ran Weathers
-Pat Heely vs. Anthony Waldburger

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Then there's the Bitetti Combat card which is apparently gonna air live on Brazilian TV. Not sure if any Brazilian folks post here, but there are some interesting fights:
-Ricardo Arona vs. Marvin Eastman
-Paulo Filho vs. Alex Schoenauer
-Pedro Rizzo vs. Jeff Monson
-Murilo Rua vs. Alex Stiebling

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------


There's also the debut event from "Arena Rumble." They're Washington based and their card's gonna be in Spokane on Saturday. Don't think there'll be a broadcast:
-Jason Guida (17-20) vs. Jeremy Horn (81-19-5)
-Trevor Prangley (20-5) vs. Dennis Reed (43-44-1)
-Lyle Beerbohm (12-0) vs. Josh Martin (6-3-1)
-Terry Martin (18-7) vs. Julio Paulino (14-2)

First off.....fuck yeah I'm interested in any card that don frye fights on.

Secondly...that brazilian card is sick.

I've been following some of the smaller shows out here and yes I'm trying to see if I can get medically approved to fight. To be honest its a long shot but ill for sure keep you guys posted. I one punch ko'd my boss so I still have some power I guess lol.

I haven't been training much other than jiu jitsu with odie neto full time. My ground game has gotten pretty damn good. If anything I'm looking for a very small, very underground show that maybe won't be too dilligent on medical background. So if anyone knows of anything let me know.

Props to rizzo for beating monson. It wasn't that long ago that monson beat sergei so this is a big win for him.

Props to gumby getting a win as well.

Huh...for once Eastman isn't "the other guy" in a HL reel...

Doesn't look like they had very convincing victories. On paper, it seemed like they would both get the sub at some point. Filho's fight was at 205 in case anyone was wondering.

Filho needs to get his shit together. The sky used to be the limit for him.

Yeah lay off the steroids.

Everyone's favorite heavyweight returns tomorrow night on HDNet......

Apparently Tim said that he's looking to possibly fight in Japan next. He came in pretty heavy again - 287.

My google-fu is weak. WTF is an "Americana Choke"?

Haha, I'm not sure. I read an article on MMAWeekly a few days ago about that Menelly guy, though. He's a 3x NCAA wrestling champ (D2). That was his first fight.

tim is still fat,,, but good to see him win
and im not judging him in terms of visual appearance,,, jst his weight indicates how in shape he is,, how hard he is training,, his dedication level,, etc,, ya know

i hope he does get another chance to fight in the ufc

No name fighters or anything, but if you're in the Boston area maybe it's worth checking out....
