AGGRESSION MMA BRINGING BACK TOP CANADIAN STARS FOR NEXT FIGHT CARD
Event to feature Ryan Ford, Tim Hague, plus Freddy Assuncao

Press Release – Edmonton, Alberta (Canada): Mixed martial arts is all about overcoming obstacles. Whether it’s training, weight-cutting, and defeats, or scheduling conflicts, equipment issues, and venue changes, adversity is very much part of the life of anyone involved in MMA.

Aggression MMA is not exempt from this. At its last event, some cage issues caused some problems at the event. However, the house was near-capacity, and the crowd was hot. Several great performances were given, including a bout many called “Fight of the Night” between Steve Beaumont and James Haddad. Jason Gorny and Elmer Waterhen engaged in an eye-pleasing slugfest, and former Edmonton Eskimo Rio Wells got the submission victory after suffering his first career loss recently. In short, the fights just kept getting better and better.

Building on this momentum, the Edmonton-based promotion has announced that it is bringing back some of the top Canadian stars out there for its September fight event. Ryan “The Real Deal” Ford and Tim “The Thrashing Machine” Hague, as well as top Brazilian fighter Freddy Assuncao, have all been signed to compete on this star-studded fight card. Canadian fight fans won’t want to miss it!

Ryan “The Real Deal” Ford (16-3) has clearly established himself as one of the top stars in Canada. He has won four straight, and eight of his last night, finishing all his victims on either punches or submissions. Just this year, he’s conquered Johnny Davis, former UFC welterweight contender Karo Parisyan, and fellow top Canadian Nick Hinchliffe in succession. Now, he will headline another Aggression MMA event, but this time, it will be with the vacant Aggression Welterweight Championship on the line.

Tim “The Thrashing Machine” Hague (12-5), at only 28 years old, is a five-time UFC veteran who has proven his talent and mettle over and over again. A brutally strong competitor, he has finished his opponent in ten of his twelve victories. After three separate stints with the UFC, he returns to his native Canada to get back on the winning track. And he’s hungry to prove he belongs amongst the best heavyweights in the sport.

A native of Recife, Pernambuco, Brazil, Assuncao (4-1) made his pro debut in 2009. Fighting is in his blood, as evidenced by his brothers, Raphael and Junior, who are themselves accomplished MMA fighters. All three brothers train together outside Atlanta, Georgia at Ascension Mixed Martial Arts. Raphael is currently fighting for the UFC®, while Junior is a veteran of the UFC® has not tasted defeat since 2008. Freddy, the youngest brother, is coming off a submission victory over UFC®/WEC® vet Kit Cope, but has shown that he isn’t a one-trick pony, as evidenced by his evolving striking game. He is a prospect MMA fans need to keep an eye on, as the sky is the limit for this developing young star.

Stay tuned for more details on this exciting upcoming Aggression MMA fight event!

Ryan “The Real Deal” Ford has clearly established himself as one of the top stars in Canada. He has won four straight, and eight of his last nine fights, finishing all his victims on either punches or submissions. Just this year, he’s conquered Johnny Davis, former UFC welterweight contender Karo Parisyan, and fellow top Canadian Nick Hinchliffe in succession. Recently, he signed with Bellator, but will continue to compete in Aggression, as evidenced by him headlining “Unfinished Business.”

Standing across the cage from Ford on September 16th will be Dave “Hollywood” Hulett, an extremely experienced welterweight who has finished 16 of his 17 victims. A training partner of UFC veterans Forrest Griffin and Evan Dunham, Hulett has been in MMA for over ten years. A submission specialist, he is hungry to take the next step in his career, and will provide a tough challenge for “The Real Deal.”

Tim “The Thrashing Machine” Hague, at only 27 years old, is a five-time UFC veteran who has proven his talent and mettle over and over again. A brutally strong competitor, he has finished his opponent in ten of his twelve victories. After three separate stints with the UFC, he returns to his native Canada to get back on the winning track. And he’s hungry to prove he belongs amongst the best heavyweights in the sport. On September 16th, Hague will face a heavyweight with a lot of fights under his belt in Vince Lucero. A native of Arizona, Lucero has over forty fights on his pro record, and has competed all over the world against notable fighters such as Jimmy Ambriz, Travis “Ironman” Fulton, UFC veterans Christian Wellisch, Soa Palelei, Roy Nelson, Brad Imes, and Eddie Sanchez, Strikeforce’s Lavar Johnson, former UFC heavyweight Champion Tim Sylvia, and Bellator monster Ron Sparks.

A native of Recife, Pernambuco, Brazil, Freddy Assuncao made his pro debut in 2009. Fighting is in his blood, as evidenced by his brothers, Raphael and Junior, who are themselves accomplished MMA fighters. All three brothers train together outside Atlanta, Georgia at Ascension Mixed Martial Arts. Both Raphael and Junior currently fight for the UFC: Raphael is coming off a unanimous decision victory at UFC 134 in Brazil, while Junior is scheduled to re-enter the Octagon for the first time since 2007, as he competes at UFC 135 on September 24th. Freddy, the youngest brother, is coming off a submission victory over UFC/WEC vet Kit Cope, but has shown that he isn’t a one-trick pony, as evidenced by his evolving striking game. He is a prospect MMA fans need to keep an eye on, as the sky is the limit for this developing young star. At “Unfinished Business,” Assuncao will defend the family name against British Columbia’s Baz Cunningham, a solid Canadian prospect with a penchant for putting on electrifying performances in the cage.

“Unfinished Business” will also host an Aggression featherweight title fight between Adam Lorenz and Alvin Robinson. Lorenz has started off his career by building a strong record, and is one of Canada’s top featherweight prospects. Meanwhile, Robinson is a four-time UFC vet looking to climb back to the top of the mountain. There are several other top Canadian combatants competing on the card as well, including Nick Penner, Tim Chimelli, Stephen Beaumont, and former CFL star Rio Wells. In addition, “Unfinished Business” will showcase two undefeated female fighters in Sy Jewitt and Sarah Moras, in what promises to be an entertaining scrap.

“Ryan Ford, Tim Hague, Freddy Assuncao, Adam Lorenz, Alvin Robinson…I’m elated we were able to get so many top-level fighters for ‘Unfinished Business,” says Aggression MMA Co-Owner Harvey Panesar. “I can’t wait to see these world class athletes put their skill sets on display for a worldwide audience!”

Fight fans won’t want to miss this awesome night of action, as Aggression MMA presents “Unfinished Business!”

Will make promotional debut at September event

Press Release – Edmonton, Alberta (Canada): Aggression MMA, one of the top Canadian fight promotions in operation, today announced that it has signed talented Brazilian mixed martial arts (MMA) competitor Freddy Assuncao to a contract with the organization. A member of the famed Assuncao family of fighting brothers, Freddy has garnered a reputation in his young career for his submission wizardry and exciting fights. He hopes to continue to build on that rep in his new fighting home, where he will make his debut on September 16th at “Unfinished Business.”

“I’m very happy to sign with a promotion like Aggression,” says Assuncao. “It’ll definitely be a boost to my career, and I am very excited about that!”

“We are very excited to have added a fighter the caliber of Freddy to the Aggression stable of competitors,” states Aggression MMA Co-owner Moin Mirza. “We expect him to compete for our featherweight belt sooner rather than later.”

Assuncao’s first opponent in Aggression MMA is being determined, but whoever it is will certainly provide a stiff test for Assuncao.

Aggression recently announced that it is bringing back some of the top Canadian stars out there for its September 16th “Unfinished Business” fight event. Recent Bellator® signee Ryan “The Real Deal” Ford and multi-time UFC® competitor Tim “The Thrashing Machine” Hague will both be competing, as will fellow Canadian favorites Steve Beaumont, Rio Wells, and Nick Penner. In addition, the Aggression MMA featherweight title will be contested. The full fight card will be revealed shortly. Canadian fight fans won’t want to miss this incredible event!

Making a strong debut in front of his new Canadian fans is of the utmost importance to Freddy, and to the fans, he says, “Thanks for supporting the sport of MMA. I promise I’m going to give you guys a show!! My goal is to become the Aggression 145 lb. champion!”

“Freddy is a strong submission fighter, and whoever wins the featherweight belt on September 16th is going to have a very dangerous challenger waiting in the wings for his crack at the belt,” concludes Aggression MMA Co-owner Harvey Panesar. “I can’t wait to see how the 145 lb. division shakes out.”

Mixed Martial Arts Events Need Strong Regulatory Bodies

Canada has turned into one of the biggest markets for mixed martial arts in the World, as the recent stadium sellout of 55,000 tickets for the recent UFC 129 event stands as a testament of that statement.
On Friday night, the land of “True North Strong and Free” held three events, two of which featured several […]

On Friday night, the land of “True North Strong and Free” held three events, two of which featured several big names and television deals. The Maximum Fighting Championship held its MFC 30: Up Close & Personal event in Edmonton, Alberta airing live on HDNet, while the Score Fighting Series inaugural event in Mississauga, Ontario is set to air via tape delay on TheScore television network (and via live video stream last night). Also taking place, was the smaller Edmonton based Aggression MMA “Confrontation” event.

Now that I’ve established that, I’ll get to my point.

These three events stand as examples of why it’s important to have an overall regulating body for combat sports, such as the Nevada State Athletic Commission (NSAC) and the California State Athletic Commission (CSAC).

The Score Fighting Series was overseen by the Ontario Athletic Commission, who presides over all events in Canada’s biggest Province, follows the Unified Rules of Mixed Martial Arts and as recently as April 1st of this year began started its duties. Friday’s nights event ran smoothly, there didn’t appear to be any hiccups with the show, and the event drew in such big names as DREAM welterweight champ Marius Žaromskis, former UFC vets Joe Doerksen, Luigi Fioravanti, and Rameau Thierry Sokoudjou.

This is an example of how things should be managed for the sport of mma for those States and Provinces who do not have one single regulating body.

Now if you look at the two events in Edmonton, Alberta on Friday night, you have two separate events and two different regulatory bodies. The Province of Alberta, as well as British Columbia which hosts tonight’s UFC 131 event, have sanctioned the sport of mixed martial arts but have delegated the task of monitoring events to local commissions.

Edmonton features two commissions, with the River Cree Combative Sports Commission overseeing the MFC events and the Edmonton Combative Sports Commission overseeing the AMMA event.

Despite the River Cree’s years of regulatory experience, they still have a ways to go to establish them as a top commission within Canada. There were several examples on Friday night of issues that are never seen, or non-issues seen at UFC, Strikeforce, or Bellator events.

The first that stands out is the miscalculation of scores by the judges initially awarding Robert Washington the split decision win over Curtis Demarce. This was later overturned later in the evening after the scores were recalculated giving the split decision win to Demarce. It would be easy to discount the incident if it only happened once, but in 2009 judges at the MFC 23 event scored a fight between Jason ‘The Athlete’ MacDonald vs. Solomon Hutcherson a draw after miscalculating the scores once more. The bout was announced as a split decision win for MacDonald by the end of the evening.

I also take objection to the point deduction to Sheldon Westcott, who earned a unanimous decision over Thomas Denny. From my vantage point, Westcott was not targeting the back of his opponents head, hitting Denny only once in each incident before the ref stopped the action. Now I agree that strikes to the back of the head can be dangerous, but there has to be some lee-way when your opponent keeps turning the back of his head into his opponents oncoming strikes.

I also take issue with the Drew Fickett vs. Brian Cobb stoppage in the first. I think it was an early stoppage but I also think Cobb would have stopped it in the second. I could go on more but I’ve ranted long enough.

Unfortunately I don’t have first hand knowledge of Friday’s AMMA event, which apparently went well for the Edmonton Combative Sports Commission but not so well for the promotion. According to TopMMANews.com, the co-main eventt was declared a “No Contest” after a hole opened up in the cage floor, taking 15 minutes to repair in order for the main event between Ryan Ford vs. Nick Hinchliffe to happen.

No the main issue I take with the ECSS is their willingness to set mixed martial arts back about ten years by sanctioning an upcoming Colloseo Championship Fighting: Bushido event in the city of Edmonton. The event will feature rules based on the days of PRIDE Fighting, allowing soccer kicks and head stomps to downed opponents.

With the sport looking for good examples to help move it into the main stream, providing more ammunition to those who oppose mixed martial arts hurts everyone involved. Certainly the nostalgia of the action from PRIDE is exciting, but it shouldn’t effect the future of the sport and it’s further development.

Nick Hinchliffe Ready to Make His Big Introduction

(He’s the Juggernaut, b*tch.)

Most of you (outside of Canada) have probably never heard of Nick “The Juggernaut” Hinchliffe, but after his Aggression MMA bout with Ryan “The Real” Ford tonight, the 18-7 Nanaimo, BC welterweight, who at one time tipped the scales at 275 lbs when he played high school football, is confident you will know who he is afterwards.

We recently caught up with Hinchliffe to talk about his fight with Ford, his familiar role of underdog and how he handles having three full-time jobs.

Check out what he had to say after the jump.

(He’s the Juggernaut, b*tch.)

We recently caught up with Hinchliffe to talk about his fight with Ford, his familiar role of underdog and how he handles having three full-time jobs.

Here’s what he had to say:

You have a big fight coming up against hometown favorite Ryan Ford on June 9 in Edmonton. You’ve had other big fights in the past including your one against Travis Galbraith that saw you take the King of the Cage Canadian light heavyweight title and your welterweight debut against Rory MacDonald. Where does this fight rank in terms of importance to your career?

This is just another big fight and another big test for me. Ryan ford has made a name for himself throughout Canada. He’s not someone to take lightly, but I feel that me and my camp are preparing how we need to be preparing for him. If I didn’t think I had the possibility of winning this fight, I wouldn’t have taken the fight.

What did you think about Ryan’s last fight against Karo Parisyan?

I thought it was a pretty good fight. We saw a little bit of the old Karo with the judo he displayed in the fight. I have to give props to Ford. He showed heart all the way through and never gave up. It sucks that it ended on a cut and it didn’t go the distance or end a different way for sure, but a win’s a win. I’m sure they both would have rathered to knock each other out or to tap each other out, but it was a really good fight that showed me that Ryan is going to go for all 15 minutes. That’s what I’m preparing for. I know he’s not going to give up and I know he’s going to try to win every second that he’s in there.

You’re fighting at 170 now after a brief stint at 185 and you fought the majority of your career at light heavyweight. Did you ever fight at heavyweight?

No. I never fought at heavyweight, but I competed in a lot of submission grappling and Pankration events as I was making my ascent down from being about 275 pounds, which was my football playing weight. I fought professionally in three weight classes.

Is welterweight where you’re most comfortable?

Yeah. I hooked up with a really great strength and conditioning coach named Jeff Van Damme. With his diet and training plan it’s really easy for me to fit into my weight and my cut down to 170 the last time I fought against Ryan Machan I basically woke up the day of the weigh-ins and only had to cut six pounds, which came off in less than 40 minutes. I stepped on the scale at 170 and I felt great.

Do you work or is fighting your full-time gig?

I do work, man. I’ve always said I’m a full-time father, a full-time fighter and a full-time worker. I work for a construction company as an apprenticing carpenter. I have a child too, which is a full-time job in itself. I train and plug away full time as a fighter as well. I love to train and fight. I may not have as many fights as some, but I have close to 30 fights. I just love to compete and I can’t sit on the shelf, man. If I’m training, I’m a competitive guy who will fight anybody any time. I absolutely love this sport and I love to compete.

Do you find that your priorities and work ethic changed when you became a father, knowing that you had another person to support who depended on you for everything?

For sure. Your whole perspective on everything changes entirely. You realize that you aren’t the number one priority in your life anymore. This little thing takes priority over everything else. I used my daughter as motivation. There were plenty of nights where she was teething and up all night screaming and crying and I didn’t want to get up to go train. Then you take a glance over at that crib and it gives you a kick in the ass to get out of bed and get to the gym to do the things you’ve got to do to provide for your family. It was and is a huge motivator for me to succeed so I can provide for my family. I want to show my daughter that if you have a dream, you need to work hard and if you work hard through whatever adversity comes your way, you can achieve that dream.

You’ve faced a number of fighters who are known for their trash talking. Does that motivate you or does it have any effect on you?

I really just don’t pay any attention to it. I know there’s been some talk on the Internet from Ryan and his fans, but that’s fine. I don’t need a grudge to motivate me to fight somebody. to me it’s not about liking or disliking the other person. It’s a sport and I do this because I love the sport and I love to compete. You can go out there and talk all of the trash you want, but if you go out there an lose you look like a big idiot, or you can go out there and be a real man and be very respectful. No matter what happens in the fight between me and Ryan Ford I’m sure we’re going to get up and shake hands. We’re just two guys, who for 15 minutes are warriors and gladiators. For the rest of the time we’re just two normal people. I think people who trash talk either need it because they’re scared or they need it to motivate them to fight. I don’t talk trash because it’s a sport to me and I don’t have any use for it. I don’t pay any attention to what my opponent says because it makes no difference to what happens in a fight, becaus it’s just talk.

The last I heard, you were training at Impact MMA. Are you still there?

Yeah, I’m still at Impact. I’ve kind of travelled around training. I’ve done some muay thai and kickboxing with a guy named Gabriel Varga who’s the ISKA two-time Canadian world champion. There’s a really great judo club here [in BC] that I’ve spent some time with as well as some really good wrestlers. I’m trying not to limit myself to one club. In the future I definitely want to expand my training to other gyms because I think that’s how you keep improving as a fighter. There’s always something that somebody at any skill level can show you that you don’t know that might work for you. I’m not narrow minded like that. I don’t care what the club looks like or who trains in it. There’s always something you can pick up. I’m still growing and getting better every day. I’m always getting a little bit better and a little bit better. That’s how you grow as a martial artist. I’m willing to go wherever I can learn something because you get very stale rolling and grappling with the same group of guys. I’m looking to mix things up more and more by visiting bigger camps. I’ve spent some time with Team Tompkins in Vegas which was great because at any time anyone could walk through the door that you could train with.

This is a big fight for you in that Ford has been on the UFC’s radar for some time and that a win over him could put you on their radar. If that happens would you keep your job or would you turn your focus to fighting in the UFC?

I definitely want to power through and get my carpenter’s ticket. Then, no matter what I do and where I go I’ll always have that to fall back on. MMA fighters think were invincible, but the average lifespan in the sport isn’t like Randy Couture’s. I’ve got a great support network here with my partner, Brooke, so if a good-sized contract came through that we could cover everything, yea man, I’d love to make the jump and fight full-time. That’s every fighter’s dream.

You’re being looked at as the underdog in this fight, which is nothing new to you as you were in your fight with Galbraith. Does that suit you just fine having the pressure off and having the ability to prove people wrong?

That’s fine. There are a lot of people on the Internet who consider me an underdog and there are a lot who think I’m not heading into this fight. There are also a lot of people I know who consider me an underdog. I don’t buy into it. If you buy into the hype and you buy into the bullshit, you’re going to do your head in. You need to listen to the people around you who support you and forget about the others. If people think I’m the underdog, let them. Everything can change with one punch as I proved in my first fight with Travis. Win or lose, I’m not an easy fight for anybody and I make them work to beat me. If you look at all of my losses, they were pretty much all against past or future PRIDE and UFC fighters. I don’t roll over and die for anybody. We go to war. I think I’m a handful for anyone I fight. Come fight time Ford is going to have to fight for the whole 15 minutes if he wants to beat me. I believe I’m going to prove a lot of people wrong and I guarantee it’s going to be a great fight.

Well man, that’s all the questions I have for you. I appreciate you taking the time to talk to us and we look forward to talking again.

Anytime, man. Give me a call. I’m always down for talking sports or MMA any time. I love that stuff.

Press Release – Edmonton, Alberta (Canada): The weigh-ins for Aggression MMA’s “Confrontation” are set to take place tomorrow, June 9th at 2:30 PM at the New Cap media stage, phase 3 at the West Edmonton Mall. The media and fans are encouraged to attend.

or via email at [email protected]. Fans can also call (780) 426-SOLD.

Here’s a rundown of the card:

Main event: Ryan “The Real Deal” Ford vs. Nick “Juggernaut” Hinchliffe

Ryan Ford is coming off a highlight reel victory over former UFC standout Karo Parisyan, and is looking to give an old fashioned E-town beatdown to the nationally-ranked “Juggernaut.” Hinchliffe’s losses are at the hands of current UFC stars Rory Macdonald and UFC veterans Victor Valamaki and Kalib Starnes. A Facebook battle has been brewing between these two Canadian standouts and they will both enter the cage with the goal of knocking each other out.

Shane Campbell vs. TBA

Shane Campbell was looking forward to displaying his amazing skills against “Cowboy” Myles Merola. However, the “Cowboy” broke his hand and the search for a replacement is in full swing.

Luke Harris vs. John Troyer

Submission specialist and Hayabusa owner Luke Harris looks to continue his meteoric rise to stardom as he faces his toughest test to date in Bellator veteran John Troyer. Troyer’s fights have only gone to the judge’s score card twice over 18 fights. This fight will surely not be left in the judges’ hands.

Jason “The Highlight Reel” Gorny vs. Elmer Waterhen

This fight has all the making of “fight of the night.” Gorny showed off his standup skill in a victory over Trent Thorne at the last Aggression show with a second round TKO. Elmer is a true veteran of the sport with fights against current UFC fighters Rory Macdonald, Jesse Bongfeldt, and Jason Heit. These two fighters will be swinging for the fences.

Stephan Beaumont vs. James Haddad

Both fighters put their perfect records on the line as these two lightweights slug it out for pride. Beaumont trains out of Legends Training Center with UFC fighter Ryan McGillivray in Edmonton.

Rio Wells vs. Mark Burns

Former CFL standout Rio wells is getting back in the cage after his first career loss. Rio has been training at Legends Training Center under the guidance of black belt coach Paulo Azambuja. Standing in his way is Heart and Soul fighter Mark Burns. Burns won his last fight by rear-naked choke after being caught in two seemingly inescapable arm bars.

Paapa Inkumsah vs. Dejan Kajic

This fight pits two extremely well-rounded fighters against each other in Paapa, who represents Gracie Barra, and Dejan, who represents Dynamic MMA in Vancouver. Paapa is looking to avenge his last loss at the hands of one of Dejan’s teammate.

Levi Kump vs. Matt Trudeau

World muay thai champ Kump fights out of Frank Lee’s MMA in Edmonton, and will make his MMA debut against well-rounded Trudeau, who trains out of Dynamic MMA in Vancouver.

Mark Sawka vs. James Edwards

Sawka is a fighter who is well-versed in every aspect of the sport. Edwards, who trains under the guidance of current UFC star Claude Patrick, looks to make his pro debut and spoil Sawka’s vision of victory in his hometown.
