TRAVIS FULTON Q & A

+

Enjoy a Travis Fulton (254 - 54) interview from mid 2018. "I change the channel when I come across UFC fights as quickly as I change it when I see an episodes of The Jersey Shore or Kardashians." - - - "I’d say that my story of MMA would be much more enjoyable to read than the experiences of fighters who took the right fights and only fought for the biggest organizations" - T. Fulton

Conor Mcgregor arrested for sexual assault?

+

Was sent this yesterday night. There's also some supposedly leaked documents: https://www.reddit.com/r/MMA/comments/ahdbvh/rte_leak_shows_conor_mcgregor_arrested_on/ Not sure what to think of this (Innocent until proven guilty... yet where there's smoke, there's fire.). Sadly, in this day and age, would not be surprised either way.

WEISHANG: A Warrior's Story...By Vince Marino

+

Weishang is the story of Veronica "Ronnie" Danzano, the greatest female kickboxer on earth, and her quest to reach Nirvana. Ronnie was born and raised where Tumbleweeds roll but believes her journey began 4000 years ago as a male warrior in China. Weishang was his name. The hardwired need for both kindness and community - for domination and violence - has been an impossible reconciliation for Ronnie through multiple reincarnations. Her present-day psyche has always been frustrated by murky memories of her past lives; lives always ending in agony & shame - and this is her last shot. Ronnie’s inner circle is comprised of her handsome & acerbic boyfriend, Eric; her manager, and former karate-champion, Alan "Bergy" Bergman; easy going yet emotionally scarred striking coach, Larry Callahan; and new to the coterie, a young, very talented, severely closeted boxer named Mandy Thomas. One day online, Ronnie sees a massive Chinese female MMA fighter named Jun Chin, and her world is changed instantly - and forever. A gut-wrenching adrenaline rush leaves Ronnie limp as a colorful chakra energy envelopes her body. Soon afterwards, this epiphany occurs: Jun Chin was in the same clan with Ronnie 4000 years ago in China. Now, she must fight Jun to alter her putrid karma - in the mixed martial arts cage. The obstacles to fighting Jun - as with reaching Nirvana - are numerous and daunting. She must carve down to make a new weight, master new skills, overcome her team’s skepticism, win multiple fights to even get a crack atJun, a fighter in a maverick promotion in Japan - a long shot. In addition, Larry & Mandy have demons to exercise in order to realize their better selves; pursuits that become integral to Ronnie’s success in the cage - and attaining eternal enlightenment. Empathy and good judgement will be required from Ronnie: concepts repeatedly lost on her for thousands of years. Calling on fortitude never needed before nor aware she even possessed, Ronnie achieves superstar status, creating a collision course with Jun. Ronnie & Jun become fully aware of their egregious past together and the stakes for their redemption skyrocket. Will Ronnie’s combat skills, warrior spirit, and her team’s allegiance be enough for her to reach Nirvana?

Karate Combat Hits Greece

+

Karate Combat returns on July 28, and this time they're going old school. The Pit will make it's debut in Athens Greece. If the Inception event held earlier this year in Miami is anything to go off, then this event will be lit. Crazy Karate Combat, set in the beautiful Athens isn't something you're going to want to miss.

Tony Lopez set to fight yet again

+

Prestige FC 10 is set to go down on June 8. The event is expected to take place in one of Canada's MMA hot spots, Fort McMurray, Alberta. Lopez holds a pro record of 59-27, and is showing no signs of slowing down on the fights he accepts. It seems like "Kryptonite" is fighting every second weekend on the regional scene. Tony will face Jared Kilkenny (13-9) in the heavyweight main event of the evening. I had the privilege to see Lopez live back in 2014, when he faced the hometown favorite Joe Doerksen. Tony lost that fight, but he never stopped coming forward. If you have some time, I'd highly recommend checking out some of his KOTC fights. The dude was an absolute beast. You can see some of his work on Youtube.
