KUNG FU FACTORY JOINS THE BATTLE AGAINST HUMAN TRAFFICKING AS SUPREMACY MMA SPONSORS THE INTERNATIONAL “MAN UP” CAMPAIGN

Posted on | May 15, 2011 | No Comments

Supremacy MMA to feature music tracks from Coalition Fight Music

San Francisco, CA—May 11, 2011—The Coalition LLC (Coalition Fight Music) announced today that videogame developers Kung Fu Factory have joined forces to support the International “Man Up” campaign against Human Trafficking. Human Trafficking is the illegal trade in human beings (mainly women and children) for the purposes of commercial sexual exploitation or forced labor, a modern-day form of slavery.

Kung Fu Factory and Supremacy MMA join a collective of Mixed Martial Artists and MMA brands who have formally endorsed the “Man Up” Campaign. The premise of the “Man Up” Campaign is to engage the MMA community to make a stand against national and international human trafficking and child sexual exploitation occurring in the US and abroad.

In addition to supporting the “Man Up” Campaign, Supremacy MMA will feature two Coalition Fight Music songs: “Reach Out” and “Darius” from CFM’s “The Album”, MMA’s 1st Album. Both songs have been selected to bring the sounds of the sport to the masses.

“It’s our pleasure to partner with The Coalition and their ‘Man Up’ campaign,” said Ricci Rukavina, CEO and Creative Director, Kung Fu Factory. “I can’t think of anything more important than protecting kids from real threats.”

“Kung Fu Factory have long been pioneers in the arena of MMA gaming, from releasing the UFC’s first video game to being the first MMA game to feature female fighters with Supremacy. Now they’re the first Video Game Company to stand up for the kids.” said Tony Savo, CEO/Producer of CFM. “This is a major victory for the whole MMA community and for those who fight against Human Trafficking.”

Published by 505 Games and developed by Kung Fu Factory, Supremacy MMA brings the brutality of unsanctioned MMA combat to the on Xbox 360® video game and entertainment system from Microsoft and the PlayStation®3 computer entertainment system, favoring fast-and-furious gameplay and underground aesthetics over official branding and television-style presentation. Supremacy MMA delivers the most daring MMA videogame experience to date, including bone-crushing finishing moves, real life legendary fighters Jens Pulver and Jerome Lebanner and the first ever female fighters in MMA gaming history. Supremacy MMA is slated for release June 7, 2011, on Xbox 360 video game and entertainment system from Microsoft and the PlayStation®3 computer entertainment system.

ANDRE WARD ADVANCES TO SUPER SIX WORLD BOXING CLASSIC FINAL WITH DOMINATING DECISION OVER ARTHUR ABRAHAM

Posted on | May 15, 2011 | No Comments

Winner of June 4 Semifinal Between Carl Froch-Glen Johnson Up Next

Saturday, May 14, Live on SHOWTIME®
From The Home Depot Center in Carson, Calif.

Catch Replay On Tuesday, May 17 (10 p.m. ET/PT), On SHOWTIME

CARSON, Calif. (May 14, 2011) – Undefeated World Boxing Association (WBA) champion Andre Ward moved one win away from claiming the ground-breaking inaugural Super Six World Boxing Classic Cup with a convincing 12-round unanimous decision over “King” Arthur Abraham at The Home Depot Center Saturday on SHOWTIME®.

Ward (24-0, 13 KOs) will face the winner of the June 4 Super Six Semifinal on SHOWTIME between World Boxing Council (WBC) super middleweight champion Carl “The Cobra” Froch (27-1, 20 KOs) and former world champion Glen “The Road Warrior” Johnson (51-14-2, 35 KOs) of Miami, Fla., for the right to fight for the Super Six title and 168-pound world supremacy sometime in the fall.

Fighting outside the comfortable confines of Oakland, Calif., for the first time in 20 months spanning three fights, Ward defended his WBA belt for the third time in what SHOWTIME expert analyst Al Bernstein called one of Ward’s “most complete wins he’s ever had in his career.”

Judge Stanley Christodoulou scored every round to Ward (120-108) while German judge Ingo Barrabas had it (118-110) and Dr. James Jen Kin had Ward winning, 118-111.

A boisterous crowd cheered both for the Californian Ward and Abraham, backed by hundreds of loud Armenian fans from Southern California. “Arthur Abraham was strong and very determined,” Ward said. “He had passionate fans and he didn’t want to lose in front of them. I’m going to stay humble and keep working hard. I want to be champion for a long time and take the least amount of punishment possible.”

Abraham (32-2, 26 KOs), of Berlin, Germany, by way of Armenia, lost for the third straight time but vowed after the fight that he would remain in the talent-rich super middleweight division.

“I started well and thought I was doing OK for the first three rounds,” said Abraham, the former International Boxing Federation (IBF) middleweight world champion. “He never hurt me and I was blocking all his punches. But then I cramped up when I was trying for the knockout and I couldn’t do it.

“I gave it my all and fought really hard and will stay at super middleweight.”

Ward seemed to get stronger and stronger as the fight went on while Abraham looked visibly tired towards the end of the fight, absorbing Ward’s hard body shots and a variety of assorted jabs and uppercuts.

“My trainer says that I’m the type of fighter to make adjustments and that’s what I did,” said Ward, who threw 289 jabs during the fight, landing 178 of his 444 total punches. “I wish the refs would have let me fight on the inside – that’s what we trained for. But we made adjustments and got the victory. After a hard hit, I would go back to my corner and I would do two things: I would listen to my corner and talk to myself and I would say, ‘Bite down and fight back.’ “

Ward will be intently watching on June 4 in Atlantic City, N.J. “I’ll fight Johnson or Froch, but I think the public wants to see Froch-Ward,” he said.

In a non-televised undercard fight, heavyweight world contender and popular Southern California slugger
Chris Arreola turned in an impressive performance against Nagy Aguilera, stopping him in the third round.

The event was co-promoted by Goossen Tutor Promotions, Antonio Leonard Productions and Sauerland Event and sponsored by Corona.

Saturday night’s telecast will re-air as follows:

It’s no secret – Spratt wants revenge against Davis

Posted on | May 14, 2011 | No Comments

Friendship will be set aside in explosive welterweight clash at MFC 30

By MFC Staff

One respected professional to another, Pete Spratt doesn’t have a beef or any deep-seeded hatred towards Marcus Davis, his upcoming opponent at MFC 30: Up Close & Personal.

And while Spratt is certain that the two will be cordial towards each other in the lead-up, and probably shake hands afterwards, “The Secret Weapon” believes all the goodwill will be set aside once they get down to business on Friday, June 10.

“At the end of the day, he’s an opponent who’s trying to bash my head in and I’m trying to do that to him. We’re going to bang it out,” said Spratt, whose explosive showdown with “The Irish Hand Grenade” will be the semi-main event of the HDNet Card emanating from the Mayfield Conference Centre in Edmonton, Alberta. The live broadcast begins at 10 p.m. ET/8 p.m. MT/7 p.m. PT (check local listings for channel designation).

There are occasions when two friends/training partners have squared off against each other, and more times than not, there’s so much respect and admiration that it leads to a dull affair without either man willing to step up and spark the action. Spratt (22-19), a crafty 40-year-old veteran, doesn’t believe there will be a lack of fireworks when he hooks up with Davis (18-8).

“I think we’re going to approach this like two brothers, and with brothers, they’re always trying to bring the best out of each other,” explained Spratt. “It’s a sibling rivalry. Brothers always try to outdo the other. And it’s the same with friends – one wants to outdo and outshine the other.

“He’s going to try and take what I want, and what I want is redemption.”

Spratt is seeking to redeem himself following the first encounter he had with Davis coming back in April of 2007. It was the San Antonio, Texas, product who was carrying the action and getting the better of Davis in the matchup between the two well-accomplished strikers. But a costly error in the second round, and Davis’s jiu-jitsu skills, proved to be Spratt’s undoing.

“I felt the fight was going my way especially with the striking,” recalled Spratt, who had shared trainer Mark Dellagrotte with Davis prior to their head-to-head meeting.

“He got a takedown and spent quite a bit of time on my back trying for the rear-naked choke with no success. But I made a mistake at the end of the first round and his corner saw it, so when I got in the same position again in the second round, he got an inverted Achilles lock.

“The fight was going my way on the feet like most of my fights and I think I can do it again. I think he will want to strike with me again. I don’t think he has a choice but to get in there and stand with me. He’s been in some of the most exciting fights over the past few years … a lot of great wars. I don’t think it’s going to be anything different.”

In terms of mutual respect, Spratt sees similarities between his test against Davis, and the recent clash between boxing icons Manny Pacquiao and Shane Mosley. But where the similarities end is at the crowd-pleasing point. The boxers failed to deliver anything more than a lengthy exasperation for fans. Spratt doesn’t want to be part of a copy-cat performance.

“They respected each other, went out and it looked like a sparring session as opposed to a big fight,” said Spratt. “I took note of that, and I know that’s not the way me and Marcus are going to go after each other.

“We’ve both got something to prove and we’re going to put on a great show.”

Over the course of a career that has spanned 12 years and 41 fights, Spratt has at times felt his own enthusiasm wane prior to an upcoming bout. Not so for the rematch against Davis. In fact, Spratt, holder of the MFC’s 2009 Knockout of the Year, is probably eagerly anticipating this fight more than any other in a long time.

“This is the type of fight that gets me up and gets me motivated,” was Spratt’s self-examination. “I’ve had my struggles to get motivated in the past but the MFC always puts me in intriguing matchups.

“I put in a good performance against Demi Deeds (at MFC 29) – I saw the submission and I went for it. And I had another good fight against Luigi Fioravanti (at MFC 25). I’ve always wanted another shot at Marcus, and the MFC wouldn’t have me back at the age of 40 if I was going to come there and be boring.

“Every time the MFC calls, I want to bring it and I want to bring what the people like.”

Tickets are going fast for MFC 30: Up Close & Personal, featuring the MFC lightweight title fight between Drew “Night Rider” Fickett and Hermes “The Unreal” Franca plus the rematch between Sheldon Westcott and Thomas “Wildman” Denny. Tickets are available exclusively through the MFC Ticket Hotline at (780) 504-2024.
