The Farina legacy

Fighter profile of Davide Farina by Matteo Baracca

MMA is a sport that has been around for decades, and its champions have left an indelible mark on the history of the sport. But what makes this story unique is that it involves a father and son who both won titles in MMA, leaving a legacy that will be remembered for years to come.

Davide Farina, the newly crowned CFC light heavyweight champion, is a true testament to the power of hard work and dedication. He has been training for this moment since his father Mario, also a champion, first put a pair of gloves on him. With this victory, Davide Farina is now part of an exclusive club in which only a few have achieved: being able to follow in their father's footsteps and become champions themselves.

The Farina legacy will continue to inspire future generations of fighters who want to make their mark in MMA.

FeoTeo labels Adamos ‘scared to death’ after Bellicose X

Fighter profile of Adrian Adamos by Chris Karter

Willie Diggs (15-3-0) absolutely ran through Adrian Adamos (7-5-0) last weekend in the real Bellicose XXXII main event. After a short exchange on the feet, Willie timed a beautiful right hand perfectly, knocked Adamos to the floor without issue, and wrapped it up with a fight-ending flurry of punches as Adamos was so buzzed that he shot a takedown on a referee. Fans waited years for the Diggs-Adamos rivalry to play out, but the whole thing barely lasted a minute!

    On the other side of the equation, a lot of critique has been thrown in Adamos’ direction. It was, to put it bluntly, a bad showing for “Godspeed.” As a result, the former AWC star has been accused of failing to take the sport seriously, and his striking defense has been mocked extensively. Numerous fans online are calling for Adamos to abandon his long-time coach Scott Bandz as a result of the defeat.     Future RISE title challenger Taz FeoTeo (7-1-0) has a different perspective. In his view, Adamo

Marley ready for the championship

Fighter profile of Ezekiel Marley by Chris Karter

MIAMI, FLORIDA - Ezekiel Marley (5-1) is undefeated under the HFC banner and ready to compete for his first MMA championship. Born in Kingston, Jamaica, Ezekiel moved to Florida to train at Convicted Fight Club and pursue a career in Mixed Martial Arts. Ezekiel has shown enough in the gym and in the cage to warrant high praise from his teammate, Kilo Maluga.

 

 

"Ezekiel will have a long and successful career." Kilo claims with confidence, "The sky is the limit for this kid. I've seen a lot of good and bad fighters walk through our doors (at Convicted Fight Club), but Ezekiel is different. He can be special in this sport."

 

 

That's high praise from a fighter of Kilo's caliber, and he should know a thing or two, given the Syn' Heavyweight champion sees Ezekiel Marley every day at Convicted Fight Club where they've trained together for the last 4 years. Marley doesn't win many rounds, but he keeps showing up for more and has yet to

The Tycoon Times had a chance to sit down with rising star Colby Taylor and discuss the controversy surrounding his upcoming KIFC Bantamweight Championship Unification match against Kamil Decaukas. 

  Colby Taylor: Unification match? Who told you that Kamil?    Interviewer: Well lets get right to the point. What happenned? You beat Toshiro Hitsugaya at KIFC 19 to retain the Bantamweight title... but then Kamil Decaukas defeated Nico Ressler at KIFC 20 and becomes the Bantamweight Champion? I am confused   Colby Taylor: Your confused? I think alot of people are confused. From what my team has been told there was a technical glitch in booking the card. I was originally offered to defend the title at KIFC20 but was then approached by management if I would be willing to move up to KIFC19 and defend against Toshiro. When my slot was rebooked for KIFC20 by some technical glitch it was still listed as the 135 pount title fight and the winner was awarded my title.   Interv

Cree First Nations fighter throws down skills for youth MMA

Fighter profile of Dakota Reis by Todd Westacott

Cree First Nations youth are getting the chance to learn mixed martial arts from a local fighter who will soon be going pro.

Dakota Reis is teaching MMA to Cree First Nations youth ages five to 14 as part of a pilot program focused on fun and learning new skills.

The 19-year-old fighter is teaching classes mostly based on Jiu Jitsu with some striking, kickboxing and wrestling mixed in. The class is utilizing an empty Cree canoe shed fitted with mats for MMA training.

The class is something Reis says he wishes was available to him when he was a youth, and he says he’s happy to offer a program that’s close to home for the youth taking part.

“I was lucky enough to have parents who were willing to drive me into town and take me to programs that already existed in town, and I think a lot of kids out here don’t have those opportunities,” Reis told MMA Tycoon.

Reis says he’s always wanted to do a youth MMA program with the Cree First Nati
