Ultimate Pit Fighting: Montreal [Event Previews]

[Guest]

UPF 1: Raise the Curtains is an upcoming mixed martial arts event to be held by Ultimate Pit Fighting - Montreal on May 18, 2013 at Wild Bob's Bar in Montreal, Quebec, Canada.

 

 

Background

 

Given the rampant success and popularity of the fight organization 'Ultimate Pit Fighting' within the Hawaiian market, UPF president Dale Saw decided to expand his label and spread across North America. Three new branches opened almost immediately - UPF NY, UPF LA, and UPF MTRL.

 

UPF: Raise The Curtains represents a new day for the talent of Canada. Fighters from across Montreal, and neighboring cities, signed on to test their mettle in the ultimate proving grounds for young talent.

 

A lot is riding on the success of this first event. Will we prove to the world that we are the next major company? Will we take Montreal by storm and become the second most watched UPF show in history? Or will we fall to the wayside? Time will tell.

 

 

Official Fight Card

 

-[Light-heavyweight bout]: Lewyn Martell (0-0) versus The Prophet Malzahar (0-1)

-[Preview]: Boxing meets Muay Thai in this climatic first fight of the night. I'm your host, Sunny Sideup. Lewyn Martell is a young Thai boxer that is looking to make the transition to professional mixed martial arts. He has hit the gym hard in a desperate attempt to pick up the grappling game in anticipation of his debut. Meeting him in the middle is The Prophet Malzahar, a boxer that also seeks the fame and glory associated with the rising sport of MMA.

 

-[Light-heavyweight bout]: Micky Manderlin (0-1) versus Raoul Ramirez (0-2)

-[Preview]: Not much is known about Micky Manderlin. He is reported to be a Muay Thai fighter but he claims to be confident in grappling as well. In his lone fight, he was defeated via blitz from his opponent. Raoul Ramirez is a grappler that has found little success in his short career. He will be looking to turn that around here in his promotional debut.

 

-[Light-heavyweight bout]: Pierre Matthews (0-0) versus Maurice De La Rue (0-2)

-[Preview]: The boxing stylist Pierre Matthews takes on the Muay Thai enthusiast Maurice De La Rue. Maurice also holds a purple belt in Brazilian Jujitsu but very little to no wrestling. Should Matthews bring this fight to the ground, however, he will likely find himself in a world of trouble.

 

-[Heavyweight bout]: Angus The Bear King (1-1) versus Cleavland Brown (0-1)

-[Preview]: Despite being listed primarily as a boxer, Angus The Bear King utilizes a takedown heavy wrestling game to smother opponents. Cleavland Brown showcased a very similar style in his lone professional fight.

 

-[Light-heavyweight bout]: Dean The Supernatural (1-1) versus Ryan Russell (0-1)

-[Preview]: In his short career, Dean The Supernatural has shown that he has a diversified and dangerous game. He has power in his strikes but will take his opponent down if he feels that it will ensure him a victory. Ryan Russell is a Jujitsu style fighter who found nothing but defeat in his lone fight. Can he turn it around against The Supernatural?

 

-[Heavyweight bout]: Oliver Irvington (0-0) versus Biff Nugent (0-1)

-[Preview]: Oliver Irvington makes his professional debut with his purple belt in hand. He also has a very slight wrestling game which could enable him to bring this fight to the ground. He will certainly need to do so against Biff Nugent, a sprawl and brawl stylist that displayed fantastic escapes in his lone fight. Although he lost his debut, Nugent displayed fantastic escapes and a great deal of heart as he dragged his opponent into the deep waters by simply being too tough to put away. Had that fight been five rounds, well, Nugent might be an undefeated newcomer to the sport today.

 

-[Light-heavyweight bout]: Lord Vladimir (0-2) versus Vlad The Impaler (0-0)

-[Preview]: Lord Vladimir may have been unsuccessful in his prior two contests but he still stands as potentially one of the most skilled fighters at 205 lbs. After multiple opponents declined the fight with Vladimir, Vlad The Impaler moved up from welterweight to challenge the brute. The war of the Vlads is on and only one can walk away with a victory.

 

-[Light-heavyweight bout]: Sal Langreck (0-0) versus Uriah Gomez (1-1)

-[Preview]: Sal Langreck is one of the more well rounded fighters on this opening card. He has a history with boxing and is familiar to the Jujitsu circuit as well. He will be facing the freestyle fighter Uriah Gomez. Despite his skills in boxing, Gomez prefers to clinch and drag opponents to the mat for a little ground n pound.

(Sal Langreck)

-[Record]: 0-0

-[Height]: 6'2

-[Weight]: 219 lbs

-[Style]: Boxing, Brazilian Jujitsu

 

(Uriah Gomez)

-[Record]: 1-1

-[Height]: 6'2

-[Weight]: 208 lbs

-[Style]: Boxing, Wrestling

 

-[Welterweight bout]: Sean Sorrowe (1-0) versus Eddard Stark (1-0)

-[Preview]: The wrestler, Sean Sorrowe, displayed incredible knockout power in his lone fight on the regional circuit. This makes his UPF debut all the more exciting. Eddard Stark is a boxer who, in his debut on the regional trail, brutalized his opponent with straight and accurate punches that left his foe... shall we politely call it indisposed. Sorrows holds a wrestling advantage here but both men are relatively green at Jujitsu so anything could happen.

 

-[A closer look]

 

(Sean Sorrowe)

-[Record]: 1-0

-[Height]: 5'6

(Eddard Stark)

-[Record]: 1-0 (1 KO)

-[Height]: 6'1

-[Weight]: 173 lbs

-[Style]: Boxing

 

-[Light-heavyweight bout]: Jack Tombstone (2-0) versus Philmore Butts (3-3)

-[Preview]: According to the unofficial rankings, Tombstone and Philmore sit at #1 and #3 in the entire organization, respectively. Tombstone displayed incredible heart in his first fight, getting rocked early to come back and win a dominant decision over his powerful opponent. In his second fight, he brutalized the poor guy with an early blitz that left him unconscious on the mat. With big heart and big chin comes big pressure to perform for this promising boxer. Can Tombstone overcome the experience of his upcoming foe and become a star in this new career? Philmore Butts, despite his unfortunate name, stands as one of the most well rounded fighters in the company. All of his wins have come via dramatic knockout. Butts has displayed dangerous ground n pound as well, finishing one of his early foes after sweeping him from beneath and pounding away at him from guard.

UPF-M 2: Opening Act is an upcoming mixed marti al arts event to be held by Ultimate Pit Fighting – Montreal on May 25, 2013 at Wild Bob's Bar in Montreal, Quebec, Canada.

 

 

Background

 

Ultimate Pit Fighting makes its much anticipated return to Montreal in this stacked card. Kieran McLee makes his UPF debut against undefeated submission extraordinaire Joshua Estrada. Both fighters have competed five times in the regional QFC show before being picked up by UPF for this exciting second event.

 

In the co-main event, Muay Thai specialist Fenix Espada takes on the wrestling powerhouse Euron Greyjoy. Both guys are inexperienced and heavily focused on their main style which will clash in this excellent fight.

 

 

Official Fight Card

 

-[Heavyweight bout]: Shawn Bhaltair (0-1) versus Bobo Yaya (2-4)

-[Preview]: Two boxers meet in the first fight of the night. In his lone fight, Shawn Bhaltair found himself taken down and dominated by a high level Jujitsu brown belt. Bobo Yaya is the more experienced of the two with six fights under his belt. Unfortunately, all but two of those fights ended in utter disaster for Yaya. In his first two fights, Yaya kept the fight standing and knocked his opponents senseless with powerful punches.

 

-[Heavyweight bout]: Leyton Lowitz (1-1-1) versus Alucard Tepes (0-0)

-[Preview]: Leyton Lowitz may be listed as a boxer but his forte is his submission game. If he can get the fight to the ground (or, consequently, if he gets taken down) he hunts for the submission tirelessly. Alucard Tepes is listed as a wrestler that dabbles in Jujitsu and will be making his professional debut here.

 

-[Middleweight bout]: James Abs (0-0) versus Nicholas Van Der Sluijs (0-0)

-[Preview]: Two first timers meet to see who the better man is. These two Muay Thai stylists are evenly matched in nearly every facet of the game with a slight edge going towards Nicholas.

 

-[Light-heavyweight bout]: Paulo Machida (1-0) versus Luis Hernadez (0-0)

-[Preview]: Paulo Machida looked amazing in his lone QFC fight. He brought it to his opponent from the start of the fight to the inevitable finish. Machida displayed brutal knockout power dropping his overmatched opponent early, taking him down later, and finally finishing him with a head kick from hell. Luis Hernadez is making his professional debut but appears to be a boxing/Jujitsu mix.

-[Luis Hernadez]: The Ghost needs to watch out for the GhostBuster 'cause I am coming for the finish no matter how the fight will be done. TKO or KO. Submission or Stoppage. What ever it is I got this.

 

-[Welterweight bout]: Nando De Leeuw (0-0) versus Tj Machida (2-9)

-[Preview]: Tj Machida has a ton of experience with eleven total fights on his resume. Like Bobo Yaya earlier, however, he has won only two of those fights. In both of his victorious fights he showed a lot of dominance in the clinch and with his kicking techniques. Nando De Leeuw is a Muay Thai stylist that is expected to be comfortable in and out of the clinch with Machida.

-[Nando De Leeuw]: I honestly don't know why this guy is still fighting, with a record like that. I need to put a beating on this guy, as a favor to him. I plan on convincing him to retire and I think we can all agree the sooner he does so, the better.

 

-[Welterweight bout]: Danny Manny (1-3) versus Wesley Cardoso (2-2)

-[Preview]: These two Jujitsu practitioners will square off to see who the stronger grappler is. If you go by belt colors, the edge goes towards Danny Manny. However, inside sources indicate to me that Manny is sapped from overtraining and his management is AWOL. If this is the case, this could be Manny's last fight in the promotion.

 

-[Middleweight bout]: Brian Townsend (1-0) versus Jerald Jenson (1-5)

-[Preview]: Catch wrestler and ground n pound stylist Brian Townsend competes for the second time as he takes on fellow Jujitsu and ground n pound enthusiast Jerald Jenson. Both fighters seem to employ a similar game which is dependent on maintaining the top position.

 

-[Light-heavyweight bout]: Kris Naga (1-0) versus Percy Peterson (0-2)

-[Preview]: Muay Thai meets boxing as Kris Naga takes on Percy Peterson. Both men have competed in the regional QFC shows and they have a solid fifteen minutes of action between their three unanimous decisions.

 

-[Middleweight bout]: Fenix Espada (1-0) versus Euron Greyjoy (0-0)

-[Preview]: In his lone fight, Fenix Espada absolutely dominated his opponent. While he was taken down quickly in the first round, he nullified the offensive game of his Jujitsu-centric opponent. From there it was a walk in the park for Espada to lay a beating on his hapless foe.

 

Euron Greyjoy is making his professional fighting debut but is a wrestling stylist that holds a blue belt in Brazilian Jujitsu. Both men are absolutely dominant in their single style of fighting but are less than skilled in their opponent's field. It will be interesting to see if Espada can negate Greyjoy's top game should this fight hit the ground.

 

-[Fenix Espada]: I will demolish Euron, he will be left bloody in the cage, then I will wreak havoc on the rest of the middleweight division.

 

-[A closer look]

 

(Fenix Espada)

-[Record]: 1-0

-[Height]:6'0

-[Weight]: 190 lbs

-[Style]: Muay Thai

 

(Euron Greyjoy)

-[Record]: 0-0

-[Height]: 6'2

-[Weight]: 188 lbs

-[Style]: Wrestling

 

-[Welterweight bout]: Kieran McLee (3-2) versus Joshua Estrada (5-0)

-[Preview]: Both fighters have had five consecutive QFC matches with mixed results. McLee has a history with fellow UPF welterweight Ronald Rousey- in their first fight, McLee nearly knocked Rousey out cold before giving him the fight by taking him down. In the rematch, McLee got the takedown early and got submitted once again. Estrada has a lot of power in his strikes but with an idle manager and likely the same game plan as always, it's hard to imagine him getting past Joshua Estrada.

 

Estrada is an accomplished Brazilian Jujitsu practitioner that submitted his first two opponents with ease before dominating his next three.
