Did Oblas Once Again Insult The MMA World...?
If So, What's New...

Oblas Matches Amputee Kyle Maynard Up With Bryan Frye, An MMA Fighter Who Has Never Won A Bout... Until this past weekend.

A 'Huge Rush' As Maynard Takes A Punch, Finishes Fight

By Steve Hummer, The Atlanta Journal-Constitution - Monday, April 27, 2009: Auburn, Ala.: To his resume of defiance against an accident of birth, Kyle Maynard has added an amateur mixed martial arts record. Yes, it's 0-1. True, it was forged late Saturday night at an old open-air barn of a place in front of beered-up frat boys in one of the few states that would look away long enough for him to get in three rounds.

But it's a record. Tangible proof that despite being born without full arms or legs, Maynard still could go into a chain-link cage and challenge himself as well as the guy in the opposite corner. The 23-year-old from Suwanee Georgia was born with a condition known as congenital amputation, in which his arms end above the elbows and his legs taper off well above the knees. Despite that, he has spent most of his life in physical competition, playing youth football, wrestling at Collins Hill and at a club level at Georgia, building himself up on a rigorous regimen of weightlifting, and just this year opening a gym in his hometown. And, now, a first foray into the violent world of MMA.

Maynard lost a unanimous decision to Wisconsin's Bryan Frye on Saturday night. Employing a strategy of avoidance, Fry kept Maynard at a distance with open-hand punches and downward stiff-arms, never allowing him a chance to utilize his wrestling abilities. Afterward, Maynard had not lost his humor. "I had never really gotten hit before [in training]. I wanted to see if I could take it. At least I accomplished that goal." Fry's tactic didn't put Maynard at much serious risk. He never tried kicking Maynard to the body, and his punches got Maynard's attention but caused no outward damage. "I think my ears are still buzzing from his first shot," Maynard said later. "It opened my eyes to the fact that this was the most serious thing I had ever gotten into. I loved it, to tell the truth."

But the tactic also erased Maynard's only hope of knocking over Fry and taking the fight to him. By the second round, Maynard was visibly frustrated, and growing tired, while each time he put his head down and charged on all fours he was turned away or sidestepped. He was physically unable to grab and had no other answer for chopping down Fry. Maynard was the bowling ball, but the pin was always moving. "I was … amazed. I didn't know he was that quick," Fry said. Still, he was able to stick to his strategy, even as the crowd, estimated at just less than 1,000, (Actually, less than 700, if that) began chanting at him, "Wrestle, wrestle, wrestle." "It was a tough game plan to prepare for. He didn't want to engage, and I certainly wasn't going to out-box him. It was smart," Maynard said.

Maynard's only fight the past two years has been with the Georgia Athletic Commission in his unsuccessful attempts to get licensed to fight in his home state. No matter how he pleaded his case, the commission could not overlook his condition. So, he finally took a fight in a state without a commission. Critics in the MMA world decried the event as a sideshow and worried about the damage it could do to the sport. The setting suggested something unsanctioned. The cover in Auburn Covered Arena is a metal roof atop bare steel beams, protecting rough wooden bleachers and a dirt-and-straw floor still smelling slightly of the last livestock event. (In other words, it was a PIG of a venue!) It was as dimly lit as an old root cellar. Even the identity of Maynard's opponent was kept secret until fight night, for fear that the negative reaction might chase him away as it had at least two other potential foes. (Or Oblas didn't want anyone to know just how really bad Frye was, which knowing Oblas, would be more of the reality.)

While Saturday's result was unlikely to sway any of the critics, Maynard made it clear he wanted to fight again. Pointing out that he had lost his first 34 high school wrestling matches before finally winning, he said he was determined to continue working on his conditioning and his tactics. With no victory to hold up as evidence, Maynard took his argument to a more personal place. "It's one of the best moments of my life going a full three rounds and surviving," he said. "A lot of people — if you read what they were saying about me [on MMA sites] didn't think I'd last 30 seconds. It was a huge rush getting into that cage. Do you know how tough it would have been to love something and never have gotten the chance to taste it?"

Steve Crawford
Named VP Of ISCF!

Many here know that when it comes to responsibility beyond ISCF President Steve Fossum (L) and the in house ISCF staff, Steve Crawford's (Right) name comes to mind. Crawford has worked with the ISCF since 2003 and year by year has become a more important part of the organization from fresh ideas to the growth of the ISCF itself. During that time he has went from an associated trainer and promoter to right hand man to Fossum. With so much effort on his part to grow the ISCF as well as the sport of MMA itself, it comes as no big surprise that earlier today, ISCF President Steve Fossum appointed Crawford as the new Vice President of the ISCF.

This is Crawford's second VP appointment associated with the parent company International Fight Sports (IFS). - www.IFfightSports.com - IFC President and CEO Steve Fossum appointed Crawford last year to Vice President of the newly formed International Battle League - IBL - www.IBLFights.com - an MMA team fight league Crawford helped develope with Fossum.

Crawford's duties and responsibilities will pretty much stay the same. The obvious change will be in his role with the ISCF in making important decisions. Over the years Fossum has be getting more and more busy with the growth of the ISCF and this past year, the other top organization under the IFS the International Kickboxing Federation, IKF - www.IKFKickboxing.com has also shown strong growth both here in north America and in Europe and Asia.

Crawford's most recent work was in organizing the new ISCF Grappling Division with Fossum. The new division of the ISCF will provide yet another platform for up and coming martial artists to test their skills as grapplers, sanctioned by the ISCF organization.

Crawford's titles are many. Along with being a proud father and husband who shares his passion for MMA with wife Patty, (Who is also an ISCF Certified Official) he is the owner and operator of Crawfords MMA. www.crawfordsmma.com

However, his work does not stop there and neither do his titles. He is the Chief Inspector of MMA for the Kansas Boxing Commission as well as being the chief ISCF Certification Instructor for all ISCF certified officials worldwide. The Founder of American Jujitsu and 7th Dan has an impressive resume to go along with his work in the ISCF. For those wondering what VP Crawford has accomplished, take some time to read below.

"This was an easy decision for me and the ISCF as a whole." Said Fossum. "Steve's work ethic and dedication to MMA, not to mention his passion for everything about the sport makes this a good move for everyone associated with the ISCF. He's a leader we are all proud to be associated with."

Just a few of Mr. Crawford's accomplishments in the Martial Arts.

Kyle Maynard to Fight in MMA?
Publicity STUNT Or Real DESIRE?

Is Kyle Maynard's desire to fight in a real MMA fight a true passion and desire to fulfill a dream, or a publicity stunt drummed up by rogue promote David Oblas to get publicity? Whatever his motive, Oblas as well as Maynard have been getting TV interviews and more for Oblas' upcoming Alabama event. Oblas desire is to try and make a name for himself as a top MMA Promoter may be a worthless effort though. Those in the MMA Fight World know his past, and being on top as a "Credible" Promoter is a long way off. Oblas always has an angle, or a motive to his madness. One thing is for sure... Oblas and Maynard are getting a lot of press with this decision, but when it's all said and done, will it be good for the greater good of the sport or, as is many times before, just Oblas's pocket book?

SPECIAL TO ISCF: Fighting in his first mixed martial arts event is a dream come true for Kyle Maynard. But for MMA and the state of Alabama, it's a potential nightmare.

Maynard, a congenital amputee who was born with no elbows or knees, is scheduled to make his amateur MMA debut Saturday night at an event at the Auburn Covered Arena. The fight is shrouded in controversy, with critics claiming Maynard's entry demonstrates a serious need for an athletics regulatory body in Alabama and that it also exposes the dark side of MMA, where greedy promoters cut corners and care little about potentially serious injuries to fighters.

"This could do a lot of damage to the sport and hurt a lot of people," said J.J. Cornell, whose Casca-Grossa apparel company has sponsored numerous fighters, including Maynard as a grappler and MMA light heavyweight champ Forrest Griffin. "I hate it for Kyle, because I respect ... him and what he's accomplished, but this (fight) looks like a scheme to sell tickets. There are a lot of people who are (ticked off) about this going down."

The controversy surrounding the fight has reached such a level that the event's organizer, Maynard's promoter David Oblas, (Right, Who was suspended as a Promoter by the ISCF back on May 10th, 2005 for Failure to Comply with Mandatory ISCF Sanctioning Requirements - Basically Cutting Corners.) is refusing to reveal the name of Maynard's opponent out of fear that the fighter will be pressured into backing out.

All Oblas would reveal is that the opponent is from Wisconsin and has competed in two prior MMA fights. The debate over Maynard largely centers around one issue: whether he is a legitimate contender or the too-trusting victim of a rogue promoter. Many in the MMA community -- from fans to fighters to officials in the sport -- believe Maynard's disability, which has left him with arms that end at the elbow and legs that end well above the knee, limit his ability to protect his head from direct blows. MMA fighters kick and punch -- both while standing and when on the ground -- and use a variety of martial arts and grappling techniques to incapacitate an opponent or force submission. Critics see no way that Maynard won't end up severely beaten and possibly seriously injured, which would result in negative publicity for a sport that has made strides in recent years to shed its barbaric image

Results From Valley Fight League & Combat in the Cage's
"3rd Offense"
April 11th, 2009 - Leesburg, Virginia, USA

The 17th Mixed Martial Arts event for Promoter Lionell Royer was a joint venture provided by Squared Circle Promotions and Combat in the Cage Incorporated with Promoters Lionell Royer and Ed Shu respectively. This was a fantastic show from start to finish! Squared Circle Promotions and Combat in the Cage had met in New Jersey several months ago, and decided to join forces to provide the residents of Leesburg, Virginia with an exciting experience of Mixed Martial Arts. The event was recorded for TV production and internet viewing. The tele-commentators from Philadelphia, PA were Promoter Ed Shu and co-commentator and MMA fighter, Kasheem Peterson. This is the second time that Kasheem has graced us with his presence. He provides a unique flavor and excitement to the show.

Not only is Ed Shu one of the promoters of this event, he also performed the function of Ring Announcer. The DJ was Illah. He set the tone to kick off the event and kept the spectators and fighters motivated with some great music until the final bell rang!! Irvin Barb brought a great audio system with him and it sounded great! Thanks Illah and Irvin!

Judges, Regan Thompson, Mike Moler, and Maxine Locklear-Thomas, had their hands full with this event. The fights were extremely well matched. In the instances where a decision had to be rendered, they were extremely close in their scoring with unanimous decisions on each bout. Referee Gary Crim kept the action moving and ensured that safety was top priority. There were no major injuries in the cage! Ring Physicians, Dr. Sandra Winiewicz did a magnificent job getting all of the fighters' examinations completed prior to the event and was attentive to the fighters when needed by referee Crim.

Finally, the staff of the Douglas Community Center did a magnificent job getting the Community Center prepared for this event, Thanks ;-) ! Well - it's time to reveal the results of this action packed event, but first … the "Fighter of the night "went to Joey Gambino - Joey started the fight with a huge body slam and continued his pursue to glory… The referee stopped the bout due to strikes while simultaneously his opponent was tapping due to a quick rear naked choke being applied and Joey obtained his victory by TKO. This was an extremely difficult decision. Marty Kusick, Bret Thomas and Tom Desmond all showed great fighting skill, big hearts and great sportsmanship. If there was a sportsman of the night, it would have to go to Tom Desmond. He demonstrated true professionalism and determination even through defeat. Congratulations to these Warriors!!!

Desmond attempted an armbar, but Thomas was able to escape.
    The last round started as Desmond demonstrated great sportsmanship by offering his hand, once the bell rang, it was all business - Desmond obviously knew he was behind in the scorecard, he began to strike and connected on some big shots. Thomas once again connected with his right and downed Desmond. Desmond again returned to his feet and was ready to battle. The fighters returned to the mat and Desmond attempted the armbar submission again, but Thomas escaped just prior to the bell.

    Winner: Joe Mcguigan by unanimous decision, 27-30, 27-30 and 28-30.
    These Heavy weights came to fight! This was a well match bout. Both fighters came out striking then went to the ground to continued their battle. Mcguigan was warned for attempting to stomp his opponent.
    The 2nd round started with these giants clinching, both trying to get the best position, Armstrong II received an unintentional knee to the groin - the referee called time and Armstrong was able to get some well deserved rest. The bout restarted and Mcguigan pushed Armstrong against the cage. Armstrong was able to secure his underhooks and put Mcguigan against the cage, both guys were working for the opportunity to initiate a takedown. Anderson pulled guard and Mcguigan threw a couple of hammerfist before the round ended.
    The final round began with both throwing strikes, Mcguigan appeared to get the better strikes in, but Anderson wasn't ready to end the fight and threw a few knees that barely missed their mark. Apparently both fighters were exhausted and the tempo slowed, Anderson received a hit to the face and began to bleed from his lower lip. The bell sounded and the bout went to the judges, judge 1 scored the bout 28-30 Judge two 27-30 and judge three 27-30, a unanimous decision for Joe Mcguigan.

"Taking Lofollette By Storm"
March 28th, 2009 - Jacksboro, Tennessee, USA

Bad Boy Promotions and Promoter Tracy Headly hosted their first ever MMA event "Taking Lafollette by Storm" at the Staff Sergeant Barton Siler National Guard Armory in Jacksboro, Tennessee. The National Guard Armory is named in honor of SSG Barton Siler; he was killed during convoy operations 25 May 2005 while assigned to Troop A, 278th Regimental Support Squadron, 278th Armored Calvary Regiment.

The spectators cheered every warrior as if they were the hometown favorite, apparently the residents of Tennessee have wanted Mixed Martial Arts to come into their region for some time now, well Bad Boy Promotions provided the residents with exactly what they were wanting. Ring Announcer, Sean Crow, traveled from Cherokee, North Carolina and successfully encouraged the audience to get involved with the action (only verbally supporting the fighters of course!). The DJ, Alex Thomas, who previously provided DJ services to MMA events, kept the music coming for the fighters as they prepared for and entered the ring; there was also a live band from the local area that performed during intermission.

Although none of the bouts went to a decision, the bouts were fierce and full of action!! Referee Ricky Pitcock ensured that safety remained first priority; there were no major injuries in the cage! Ring Physician Jan Robbins, and his EMS crew from the Campbell County EMS: EMS Director Danny Sheckles, Paramedic Steve Smith, Paramedic Russell Lester, EMT-IV Chris Demott and EMT-IV student Summer Bratcher did a fantastic job getting all of the fighters' examinations completed prior to the event. This was the first MMA event for the majority of the fighters; therefore, Dr. Robbins and his EMS staff monitored the fighters closely just prior, during, and immediately after their bouts. The staff of the Armory, managed by Staff Sergeant Marlow ensured that the venue was properly prepared for the event. He and his lovely wife went out of their way to assist the promoter in setting up chairs, granting access to computers and printers, and allowed the use of one of the armory's storage warehouse; we really appreciated their assistance - thanks ;-)!
