2022 IMMAF Pan Ams Championships | Quarter-Final Results & Semi-Final Schedule

Published

on

The 2022 IMMAF Pan American Championships are off to an exciting start. The action got underway at 11 am (UTC-5) local time. Twelve bouts took place in Cage 1 to get the competition started.

A match-up between Brazil’s Giulliany Perea and Uruguay’s Jimena Osorio got the competition underway. It was Perea’s first time competing at strawweight, and she impressed once again, taking a decisive win over Osorio. The highly touted BJJ Brown Belt is one of the athletes to watch after her silver medal-winning run at the 2021 World Championships, where she competed as a flyweight.  

The first finish of the 2022 IMMAF competition came in the second bout of the day. Colombia’s Oscar Mateo Lara Cuellar was too tricky for Puerto Rico’s Jese Negron, submitting with a triangle choke in the second round to secure a spot in the semi-finals. 

Colombia’s fine form continued through Diego Torres Valbuena and Tael Nicolas Sotelo Rodriguez. Both athletes rounded out the day with wins, while Walter Plazas and Jeisson Andres Farias Poveda were on the wrong side of decisions.

Later in the day, Trinidad and Tobago also picked up their first win through Anthony Joseph. And in their second bout of the day, Uruguay was able to get into the win column through Cristian Sanchez, who defeated Guyana’s Trevlon Clarke via TKO with just over a minute left in the bout. 

The 2022 IMMAF host nation Mexico had mixed luck across their seven bouts, winning just three. Jaime Sierra was the standout. He snatched his opponent’s arm early in the third to secure a submission victory and a semi-final slot. 

Lastly, it was a clean sweep for the United States, with Jonathan Powell, Lester Batres Jr and Anthony Orozco all earning victories. Orozco rounded off the day in spectacular fashion, utilising his high-level wrestling to dominate before submitting his opponent with thirteen seconds left in the round. 

A full list of results from the opening day of the 2022 IMMAF Pan American Championships can be found below, and the full schedule for Day 2 of the competition can be found attached.

Paul Hughes Gets New Opponent as Oduwole Out

Published

on

Cage Warriors – Europe’s Leading MMA Organisation – have today announced a change in the scheduled opponent for Irish superstar Paul Hughes at Cage Warriors 170. 

An injury occurring just days after he signed to fight Hughes has forced Yemi Oduwole out of the contest. 

The promotion wishes him a speedy return to full health. 

CW officials have moved quickly to secure a suitable replacement, today confirming that Hughes will remain on the Saturday, April 6th bill, now facing off with Edgar ‘Smooth’ Escarrega. 

The bout will feature on the main card of CW 170 at Dublin’s iconic RDS, and air live on UFC Fight Pass and international broadcast partners. 

The 29-year-old Escarrega, who hails from the port city of Ensenada in Baja California, Mexico, brings an impressive 12-3-1 record to the contest. 

The Victory Fight Club man – who is a striker by trade – is unbeaten in his last six contests, and from twelve victories has a total of five KOs, two submissions and five points wins to his name. 

“From Mexico to the world, here I come!” said Escarrega, when signing on the dotted line for what is undoubtedly the biggest opportunity of his professional career. 

Hughes, from County Derry, is widely considered to be on the cusp of signing with the UFC following a series of impressive performances in the famous yellow gloves of Cage Warriors. 

‘Big News’ recently vacated his featherweight title, moving up to the 155lb division to stop top contender Jan Quaeyhaegens in the first round. 

Also scheduled for the CW 170 card, Dublin’s James ‘Jimbo Slice’ Sheehan contests the vacant welterweight title with Switzerland’s Daniel Konrad, with Ger Harris, Solomon Simon, Decky McAleenan, Taka Mhandu and more set to feature.

“I Should Get The Shot” – Jacob Smith Wants World Title Fight If He Bests Denis Puric At ONE Fight Night 21

Published

on

Fiery flyweight Muay Thai star Jacob Smith enjoyed a triumphant return to ONE Championship last December at ONE Fight Night 17 after 18 months on the sidelines. 

The Scouse striker knocked out Walter Goncalves to gain momentum in the world’s largest martial arts organization, and he plans to add to it next month.

Smith returns to action against Bosnian-Canadian powerhouse Denis Puric at ONE Fight Night 21: Eersel vs. Nicolas on Saturday, 6th April, inside Bangkok, Thailand’s historic Lumpinee Boxing Stadium. 

Fans anticipate a thunderous clash, as they are both known to finish fights. Smith feels he knows what to expect from Puric, and he plans to give him an unwelcome gift for his birthday. 

“I’m either going to stop him with the knee or stop him with an elbow. I feel like the first round is going to be quite fiery. But if he decides to rush me too early, he’s going to walk into some big shots, so I could just finish him in round one,” he said. 

“But I’m sure I’m fighting him on his 39th birthday. So, unfortunately, my birthday present is going to be me knocking him out.”

When Jacob Smith debuted in ONE Championship at May 2022’s ONE 157, he battled ONE Flyweight Muay Thai World Champion Rodtang Jitmuangnon across three rounds of hard-hitting action. 

He came up short that night via unanimous decision, and a series of injuries forced him to take time away from action afterward. But that gap seemed to have allowed him level up his skill set. 

Smith came back stronger than ever, and his first-round finish of Goncalves last December pegged him as one to watch. The #2-ranked flyweight Muay Thai contender is hoping to score back-to-back wins against Puric next month, and he knows exactly what he wants if he’s successful.

“My goal is to be ONE Championship Flyweight Muay Thai World Champion, and fingers crossed by the end of the year that comes through,” Smith said. 

“Rodtang is the champion, and Superlek is number one. After beating Walter, I’m now number two. Rodtang and Superlek are probably going fight each other again soon. Then I should get the shot at the winner after I beat Puric.”
