Justin, fight at 170lbs.
and with the new rules in NH (Unified) i would do one or two more amateur fights just to be comfortable in there.
My 2 cents
hey man stay ammmy, get your base, and go pro in style... it will keep you hungry! and get you the experience for the "game". and hey ,man go 170. remember, the lighter you are the faster you move, and you will maintain the same power of someone at…
Just looking on some input on where my future in MMA should go. Coming off my victory in the finals of the "I Wanna Be A Global Fighter" finals, i don't know if i should go pro for my next fight or stay amateur. I also want input on whether i should…
Dan, that sounds like a good idea for Brent. Brent, don't let your ego get the best of you w/ these ass holes being all big and bad with no cage experience. Take the no win experienced fighter. It's a great chance to get good competition and a win.
i'm fighting on the 19th for the "i wanna be a global fighter" title. i hadn't been notified of needing to have the medicals in 2 weeks prior to the event (which is tomorrow). I have all my medicals done except the retina test which i was planning o…

- OK your fight went well, I will be honest you hand work needs improvement, your wrestling skills are great I know you did not box like the rest of us, and I want to make a few suggestions I know Uncle Gene and Uncle Dougy would also make and that is with your hand work. I want you to learn to relax on your feet (DO NOT Tense up) make your body like a rubber band and use your power in spurts, I want you to study "peek a boo" style boxing along with counter punching off the peek a boo style, Use your gloves as shields, cock you knees do not come in with straight legs when you step in with a lead right or a jab they do not always have to be power shots you can use you gloves as blinders make your opponent miss where the next bunch is coming from by blocking his view , there were a few punches you took that should never have made their mark. and you could have countered of those punches and made some great points as well as a possible K.O. I wish I could show you these moves in person, You have the same body style and strnegth as the rest of us and your upper body power can be devestaing if you learn how to use that strength. I suggest just for fun to hook up with Uncle Gene and Uncle Doug for a few pointers. We all couched as you well know after our fighting days were behind us. Close the distance and fight in close use your hands as blinders. I would love to teach you how to turn a opponent at close range with small glove to glove contact that turns the opponent so you cna counter him and these moves also allows to keep power shots from being thrown at you. I mixed many matrtial arts moves into my boxing foot work that would not be considered illegal moves. Constantly coming in at angles that kept my own opponebts from being able to hit me with power shots or a stiff Jab. Double up your Jabs make them snappy not powerful use your jab to keep your opponent from being able to see a combination, aim for the eyes. Mix up your jabs so that when you throw the jab it can also be used as a power punch and with these aim for the chin, Hooks throw with snap and power over and under opponents punches these go to the temples and lower chin.
Watch You tube and check out Mike Tyson, for Peek a boo, George Forman and Larry Holmes for the Jab and Tommy Morrion on Hooks look at not only their punches but their legs as the punches are thrown!!!study these and hit the heavy bag and remember never ever stiffen up stay relaxed like a rubber band from head to toe, you will concerve energy and you can slip out of holds with ease. Don't want to tell you how to fight I respect you decisions and training, just wanted to give you afew pointers, remember The Wear family has been fighting for a long time so we do have a lot of great pointers to offer. Let me know when you next bout will be.

Hawaii Vice: Can anyone loosen Penns grip?
Elliot Worsell, UFC - There are seemingly two versions of BJ 'The Prodigy' Penn - the beatable one and the unbeatable one. The former weighs anything upwards of 160-pounds and the latter displays a semblance of a six-pack at just below 155-pounds. The difference can be as little as 15-pounds, yet the disparity in results is tremendous.Benavidez Praises Yahyas Dangerous Game
Frank Curreri, WEC - 15 wins. 14 finishes. All submissions. Clearly Rani Yahya doesn't conform to the played-out stereotype of a Brazilian jiu-jitsu black belt who forgets his grappling techniques whenever he gets punched in the face. Yahya is a special breed on the mat, which is why his next opponent, Joseph Benavidez, doesn't hesitate to pin the "amazing" label on the super-slick fighter.Ryan Jensen -The Go-Getter
Debbie Lee, UFC - Call him a cockeyed optimist, but Ryan Jensen was sure that he would see another day in the Octagon. It didn't matter that he had dropped back-to-back UFC fights since his arrival in the organization, and that both losses had come via first-round submission to boot. He was determined to get one more shot - even if that meant doing things on the sly.Skin Disorder No Match for Jorgensen
Frank Curreri, WEC - At its very finest, sport transcends winning or losing. It is about feeding and molding the human spirit, testing your limits, and charging forward when adversity is dumping on you like a hail storm. Sport can be shelter and sanctuary, as illustrated by Scott Jorgensen's story. Wrestling didn't cure Jorgensen's chronic skin disorder, vitiligo, but his extraordinary success on the mat - including two high school state titles and three PAC-10 championships in college -- elevated his confidence and helped him tune out the whispers of others who didn't understand why his skin turned colors.Spike to air more UFC prelims in 2010
After three well-rated telecasts in 2009, Spike TV has announced it will telecast 10 live "UFC Prelims" to precede some of the UFC'S biggest pay-per-view fight cards. The first two scheduled events will be on Saturday, January 2 at 9:00pm and Saturday, February 6 at 9:00pm. The remaining eight shows will be announced at a later date.The best bartender/mattress salesman/rock star/cage fighter in Portsmouth
Meet Cyrus Clark, an undefeated mixed martial arts champion ... after one fight
Cyrus Clark is not a fighter.
Sure, he's had a few scraps in his life (10 by his count). But he claims he's never started one. And with his laid-back, skater-dude demeanor, he's the last guy you'd expect to see throwing down.But there he was earlier this year, moments before his mixed martial arts debut, hopping up and down like a madman, ready to rip his opponent's head off.
"It was pretty sudden for all of us," said Ted Roberts, Clark's friend from Portsmouth High School. "He wasn't a wimp, but he wasn't the kind of guy going around picking fights."
"Starting his career at 32, I think, was pretty funny," said Jay Krecklow, another longtime friend.
Clark, a lifelong Portsmouth resident and drummer for the band The Han Solos, used to watch mixed martial arts on TV at the Daniel Street Tavern, where he has bartended for the past 2½ years. But it wasn't until he and Krecklow attended a fight at the Ioka Theater in Exeter last year that he came up with his crazy idea.
"Immediately after that, that's all I kept talking about — how I wanted to do it," Clark said. "I had watched UFC, but then once I saw it in real life, it was way better, and I wanted to do it."
So Clark got a hold of Scott Millette of Hampton, who runs the 8-month-old Global Fight League, and told him he wanted to fight at the group's February show at the Capitol Center in Concord .
"He was like, 'No, no, the card's lined up,' and there was really no room for me." Then, suddenly, there was an opening. One of the fighters scheduled for the show had to pull out after losing by technical knockout in another fight.
Millette called Clark. "Here's your chance," he said.
As they approach their mid-30s, it's not unusual for men to try out extreme activities like sky diving or bungee jumping in an attempt to cling to their fading youth. But that's not Clark. He did it for the fun of it, and because, as his friend Roberts noted, it would give him a great story to tell to every girl he meets.
But in order to have a story to tell, Clark had to win the fight. And it wasn't going to be easy, as he only had two weeks to get ready, and no experience as an MMA fighter. He scarcely had time to get the required medical paperwork together, let alone train.
Cyrus had worked briefly as a bouncer, but dealing with drunks isn't much of a challenge.
("It's like handling a 6 year old," he said.) Other than that, his only physical training was running regularly, and carting around mattresses for his day job at National Discount Mattress on Islington Street.
What he did have, though, is a lot of what his friend Krecklow calls "pent-up aggression." And some experience getting beaten up as a kid by his older brother.
To get Clark ready for the fight, Millette took him to a gym in Haverhill, Mass.
"They beat the crap out of Cyrus for three weeks," Millette said.
"He gave me a crash course in stand-up boxing," Clark said. This entailed how to stand, where to hold his hands, and how to protect himself. "There's definitely an art to that."
When Clark broke a rib sparring just four days before his fight, he kept his mouth shut, afraid he might lose his chance to fight.
"I didn't realize at first I had broken a rib," he said. "Then it started to hurt. I definitely knew I was still gonna fight, though. I wanted to bad enough. I was afraid I wouldn't get another chance." For his corner team, Clark hooked up with Team Burgess at the weigh-in on Friday, the night before the fight. Then he worked his regular shift at the mattress store.
Saturday morning, a few hours before the bout, Team Burgess gave him his game plan for the fight. That helped him stay calm. It also helped that he had experience playing in a band.
"I know what it's like stepping out onto the stage," he said. "It was just a different event." The night of the fight, a group of friends showed up to support Clark.
"He was pretty pumped up," said Jason Stiles, his boss at the Daniel Street Tavern. "He was in the zone. He walked right past us." Physically, Clark seemed to match up pretty well against his opponent — at 6 feet tall, he had a 3-inch height advantage, and they both weighed in the neighborhood of 175 pounds.
Still, "Me and pretty much the rest of my friends all thought he was going to get his a** kicked," Roberts said.
When the fight started, it flashed through Clark's mind that he was going to have to try to kill the other guy, or be killed himself.
His plan had been to box, but the punches he was throwing kept missing. His opponent, on the other hand, had little difficulty landing a number of strong punches. Eventually, Clark grabbed the guy around the waist and pulled him to the ground.
Once on the mat, Clark managed to get his opponent in a full nelson. His cornermen started screaming, "Choke him out, baby" — a legal MMA move in which one fighter wraps his arm around the other's throat and chokes him into submission.
A minute and 20 seconds into the fight, Clark's opponent tapped-out, signaling that he was giving up.
Clark leapt into the air. As the referee raised his hands in victory, he pointed to his supporters in the crowd.
Despite his easy win, Clark said he has no plans to fight again.
"I'm already working 55 hours a week," he pointed out. "To really do MMA, you need to give 20 to 40 hours a week. There's no way. I'm officially retired, undefeated." Millette said he'd love to see Clark fight again. In fact, the GFL is building a new campaign, "So you want to be a Global Fighter?" around Clark's sudden success.
Still, Millette figures it's unlikely that he'll lure Clark back into the ring.
"He just wanted to do it once," he said. "He pretty much likened it to the top three experiences in his life, next to losing his virginity — he couldn't think of the third one."
