ISCF Makes
Amateur Matchmaking EASIER For
Promoters & Fighters But Maintains
Accountability
After a successful year as the ONLY MMA Sanctioning Body that
does Fighter Background checks to assure Amateurs are TRUE
Amateurs and not Professional MMA Fighters, the ISCF
looked back to see where changes could be made to assist Promoters as well as
Fighters for Amateur Fights. Several aspects of the new Amateur Matchmaking rule
were discussed among ISCF Representatives
and in the end, several changes were made. "We wanted to see what
could be done to make it easier for ISCF Promoters to register fighters for
their events." Said ISCF
President Steve Fossum. "At the Same time we didn't want to
lose our Integrity." Said ISCF
World Representative Steve Crawford. This being said, here are just some
of the changes for the Amateur Matchmaking rule for 2008.
- NEW FOR 2008
- No More Fighter Registration Late Fees!
- No More Fighter Spelling Error Fees!
- No More "OVER 12 BOUT" Match Fees!
- LATE FIGHTER REGISTRATION ALLOWED UP TO EVENT
WEIGH-INS.
- Promoters can Register Fighters at their event Weigh-Ins with the Official
ISCF Event Representative, as long as the
ISCF Event Representative is given access
to the internet via computer to check the status of the newly added fighter in
the ISCF Rankings as well as on various
MMA Fighter Databases.
- The ISCF Event Representative has the
right to approve or not approve the fighter from fighting based upon his/her
findings during the background check.
- In the case of a Late Replacement or
Fill-In
- The Promoter, Trainer or Fighter must pay to the Official ISCF Event Representative at the event weigh-ins the
Fighters Registration Fee.
- The Promoter, Trainer or Fighter must also give to the Official ISCF Event Representative at the event weigh-ins the
"FULLY COMPLETED" fighters Registration FORM signed by the Fighter.
- Before being approved to fight, Promoter must FAX the Fighters COMPLETED
Registration FORM to
the ISCF Headquarters with a cover letter
explaining that this is a LATE Registered Fighter, with the name and date of the
event included to: 916 663-4510.
- After doing so, it is the Responsibility of the ISCF
Event Representative to mail the fighters Registration FORM and Registration Fees to the ISCF within 72 hours following the event.

- With the completion of another successful year, The
ISCF still remains the ONLY
MMA Sanctioning Body that;
- Has Men's Amateur Rankings found in 3 areas:

organizations out there have been "Under Construction"
since they started.. and if you check, they STILL have "Under
Construction" on many of their web pages today....
ISCF... A REAL MMA
Sanctioning Body for REAL Champions & Fighters! NOT A "Rubber
Stamp, Rubber Champion" Organization!

ISCF
Adjusts Sanctioning Fee Schedule
Another change the ISCF
has made for 2008 is a more open time frame for sanctioning fees. Instead of a
30 day prior to event deadline, the general sanction fee now extends to 20 days
prior to an event before any late/penalty fee is assessed.
In addition, for those promoters who choose to sanction their
events inside 20 days prior to their event, the ISCF
has accessed less of a penalty for sanctioning fees paid inside 20 days prior to
the Promoters events. To see the new adjustments click

Submitted by IKF/ISCF Representative Michael Storm: Some
drove for hours through a snowstorm to make it to Tinley Park, Illinois just to
be a part of an all amateur Mixed Martial Arts, Muay Thai and Full Contact Rules
extravaganza"Pure Force VI-The Return". The crowd of
spectators was treated to a full night of hard hitting action put on by the guys
at HCX International Entertainment at the Tinley Park Convention Center.
Here are the results of the night
- Men's Junior Middleweight Muay Thai
Marcus Hurt, 1-0-0, Rebels of Destruction,
Chicago, IL, vs
Bob Hoogland, 0-1-0, Premier Martial
Arts, John Geyston, Springfield, IL
Round 1: Hurt starts with
kicks to Hoogland's legs and body. Hoogland responds with a
series of left/right punching combinations toward Hurt's head that knock
Hurt's headgear off of his head and appears to briefly stun Hurt.
Once the headgear is replaced, Hurt uses kicks to keep some distance
between Hoogland and himself but Hoogland comes in with the
punches to Hurt's head and again knocks Hurt's headgear off.
The edge in the round went to Hoogland on all scorecards.
Round 2:
The second round was a closer round and a better round for Hurt. He
began with leg kicks to Hoogland and followed up with punching
combinations of his own that back Hoogland up. When Hoogland
was backed to the rope, he would clinch and Hurt would start with the
knees to Hoogland's body. Hoogland pushed Hurt off and
landed a couple of well placed and strong hooks to Hurt's head which
stalled Hurt's attack. The edge in the round went to Hurt on
two of the three judges scorecards.
Round 3: Hurt begins with the leg kicks which Hoogland
tries to side step as he delivers several more power punches to Hurt's
head. Hurt clinches Hoogland and begins to attack with his
knees. Hoogland pushes Hurt off and throws more punches to Hurt's
head. Hurt decides to stand and trade head shots with Hoogland
toward the end of the fight with both fighters trying to deliver the knockout
shot that will take the decision of a very close fight out of the hands of the
judges but to no avail as the bell rang to end the fight.
The judges scored the fight 29-28, 28-29 and 29-28. Winner by
Split Decision-Marcus Hurt.
- Women's Featherweight Muay Thai
Katie Klimansky, 1-2-0, Jeff Webber, Chicago,
IL, vs
Amber Gallagher, 2-0-0, Ryan Blackorby, Peoria, IL
Round 1:
Gallagher attacks with kicks to the legs and body of Klimansky.
Klimansky tries to tie her up but then starts taking knees to the body from
Gallagher which causes Klimansky to shove her off. They trade
several leg kicks from the outside and some knees from the inside. Eventually
Gallagher catches a body kick thrown by Klimansky and punches
her right in the face as she drives Klimansky to the ropes where Klimansky
ties her up. Gallagher steps back and finishes the round with a series
of leg kicks to give her the edge in the round on all judges' scorecards.
Round 2: Gallagher tries to begin the round as she ended the first
with leg kicks followed up by punches. Klimansky ties her up and they
exchange knees before Gallagher pushes Klimansky off. Gallagher
appears determined to break Klimansky down with a lead leg kick followed
up by punching combinations throughout most of the round. All judges gave Gallagher
the edge in the round.
Round 3: Gallagher, clearly the aggressor in the final round,
continues attacking Klimansky's legs with powerful kicks that back Klimansky
up to the ropes. When Gallagher is able to get inside, she's able to
throw knees to the body and punches to the face that kept a tired Klimansky
on the defensive throughout most of the round. Klimansky repeatedly
tried to stall the action with tight clinches but due to inactivity in the
clinch, Referee Terri Storm was forced to break the fighters giving Gallagher
the opportunity to start a new attack.
All
judges scored the fight 30-27. Winner by Unanimous Decision-Amber Gallagher.
- Men's Super Middleweight Muay Thai
Nick Beideman, 1-0-0, Hackney's Fight Crew,
Bloomington, IL, vs
Michelo Pryor, 0-1-0, Premier Martial
Arts, John Geyston, Springfield, IL
Round 1: Beideman comes across the ring throwing punches at
Pryor. Pryor responds with kicks followed up by a flying knee to
Beideman's body that backs Beideman off. Beideman lands a right
hook to Pryor's head that causes him to tie Beideman up. Beideman
pushes Pryor off, attempts a round kick to Pryor's head that
Pryor avoids but lands a series of punches to Pryor's head.
Beideman appears to be trying to load up the right hand. He lands
several that Pryor manages to shake off but none the less score. The
edge in the round went to Beideman on the judges' cards.
Round 2: Beideman begins with kicks to the legs, body and head of
Pryor followed up by punches, many of which were partially blocked.
Pryor answers back with kicks and punches of his own causing Beideman
to tie him up to stall his attack. Beideman steps back and renews his
attack. Although Pryor is able to block many of the blows from Beideman,
Beideman dictates the pace as the clear aggressor in the round. As the
round ends, Beideman throws a series of punches to Pryor's body
finishing with a round kick to the head. The judges gave the edge in the round
to Beideman on all cards.
Round 3: Beideman begins with a round kick to Pryor's body
followed up with a series of punches to the head. Pryor answers with
punches of his own, neither fighter showing any damage. Both fighters are tired
and neither appears to want to take the dominant position in the round.
Eventually, Beideman throws a left/right combination to Pryor's
head that forces Pryor to tie him up. Beideman pushes him off
and continues the combinations to Pryor's head as the round ends.
All judges scored the fight 30-27. Winner by Unanimous
Decision, Nick Beideman.
- Men's Welterweight MMA
Ben Gladem,
0-0-0, 1 No Contest, Independent, Janesville, WI, Vs
Joe Powers
1-1-0, 1 No Contest, Ryan Blackorby, Peoria, Il
Both fighters begin with an exchange of jabs when Gladem hits
Powers with a hook to the jaw that drops Powers and causes him
to try a takedown. Gladem wraps his arm around Powers' head and
attempts a guillotine. Powers gets his head out and pushes Gladem
up against the ropes in a side mount and throws knees to Gladem's body.
Powers throws an illegal knee that hits Gladem in the head
causing Referee Robert Hinds to stop time to give Gladem time to
recover. Dr. Bruce Hertz comes in to check Gladem out as
Referee Robert Hinds deducts a point from Powers for the knee
strike. Gladem tells the doctor he's ready to continue. As the fight
continues, they both start standing in the ring and exchange a couple of
combinations to each others head as the round ends. At the end of the round,
Gladem says he can't continue because of the knee to the head.
At the event: Referee Robert Hinds ruled the fight a "NO
CONTEST" Bout.
ISCF Has Reviewed the circumstances of this bout and
Ruled as follows:
"If a fighter chooses to continue
after ANY type of an injury, the bout is scored as any other bout. This is
because the fighter made the decision him/herself to continue. Thus, the
official result will be;
Powers defeated
Gladem by TKO when Gladem could not answer the bell in round 2.
- EXPLANATION: If Gladem said he would continue, and he realized
Powers may be able to beat him (Stronger, hitting him harder, whatever) allowing
the bout to go back and refer to the injury or foul (Accidental or not) is like
having a trump card to play... "Oh wait, I'm having trouble with this guy,
I should just say I don't want to fight now."
- On the other side, since Gladem wanted to continue, Powers now feels he can
move forward full steam ahead. Allowing Gladem to pull out after choosing to go
ahead is a disrespect to Powers.
- Simply put, if Gladem thought he was hurt bad enough, he should have said
he could not continue Immediately after the foul. A Good cornerman would have
helped him make this decision. If done, the bout would have been a "No
contest" due to an accidental foul.
- Men's Lightweight MMA
Jeff Charlebois,
1-1-0, James & Ron Hill, Shorewood, IL., Vs
Floyd Hodges
0-1-0, Craig Monyelle, Illinois
Round 1: Charlebois begins with a lead leg kick which Hodges
answers with a couple of punches. Charlebois ducks the punches and goes
in for a single leg takedown. He picks Hodges up to dump him but Hodges
falls on top of Charlebois in a half mount and attempts an armbar. Charlebois
turns into Hodges and gets his arm out but Hodges maintains the
half mount on top. After a period of inactivity, the referee stands them up to
continue in the middle of the ring. Charlebois fakes a punch and shoots
in for a takedown. Hodges turns to his knees allowing Charlebois
to grab him around the waist and dump him again, Hodges on the bottom,
Charlebois on the top as the round ends. As Charlebois proved
the more aggressive with his several takedown attempts, he received the edge in
the round on all judges' scorecards.
Round 2: The fighters exchange kicks before Hodges moves in and
wraps his arms around Charlebois' waist. Charlebois throws a
couple of knees to Hodges' body and turns him into the ropes. Charlebois
picks Hodges up and dumps him on the ground with a side mount. Charlebois
throws knees to the body and repositions himself with his knees up around
Hodges' head so he can punch both sides of Hodges' body. Hodges
manages to twist, facing Charlebois and stands up. Charlebois
shoots for a takedown but Hodges sprawls and controls the top position until the
end of the round. All judges gave the edge in the round to Charlebois.
Round 3: Hodges tries a front kick but Charlebois backs
off and avoids it. Charlebois charges in, picks up Hodges and
throws him down. Charlebois, in a side mount, starts kneeing Hodges
body. Charlebois swings his leg over into a full mount and attempts a
ground and pound. Hodges pulls him down to neutralize the attack. Charlebois
continues hitting Hodges in the head forcing Referee Robert Hinds
to stop the fight at 2:05 of the round.
Winner by TKO-Jeff Charlebois.
- Men's Heavyweight Muay Thai
Lukas Grabowski, 0-1-0, Hackney's Fight Crew,
Bloomington, IL., vs
David Gaston, 1-0-0, Ryan Blackorby,
Peoria, IL.
Round 1: Grabowski comes across the ring and throws a barrage of
kicks and punches that back Gaston into the corner. He continues to
attack Gaston in the corner where Gaston covers up and blocks
most of the blows. Referee Mike Storm tells Gaston to fight out
of the corner to show him he's unhurt. Gaston bursts out of the corner
with his own flurry of punches which backs Grabowski up to the middle of
the ring. Both fighters in the middle of the ring now begin to exchange
techniques. Each fighter throwing every shot as a power shot. Gaston
hits Grabowski in the face and bloodies his nose. The time stops when
Gaston's headgear is knocked off. Referee Mike Storm sends Grabowski
to the neutral corner as he gets Gaston's headgear replaced. Grabowski's
corner comes onto the apron and attempts to go to the neutral corner. Referee
Mike Storm admonishes the cornerman and explains that his fighter can be
disqualified for such an action. As the fight continues Gaston appears
determined to take charge forcing Grabowski back with some vicious body
and head shots but Grabowski continued to fight back. As the bell rang
to end the round, both fighters refused to stop fighting which forced the
referee to step in and warn both fighters. Two of the three judges gave the
edge to Gaston in the round.
Round 2: Grabowski begins the round as he started the first round,
with a barrage of kicks and punches backing Gaston into the corner.
Gaston blocks most of the shots and shows that he is unhurt as he again
bursts out of the corner with an explosion of punches to the head and body of
Grabowski which back Grabowski into a corner and forces him to
turn away from Gaston to avoid getting punched. He began fighting back
briefly but soon turned his back again to Gaston and leaned over the
ropes to avoid the attack forcing the referee to issue a standing 8-count. Grabowski's
corner was upset claiming that he had lost his mouthpiece. The referee warned
him that he can't spit his mouthpiece out to avoid getting hit. The mouthpiece
was replaced and the fight continued. Both fighters came at each other with
ferocious intent. Another exchange of head shots knocks Gaston's
headgear off again. As time is stopped both fighters taunt each other to "bring
it on". Gaston is sent to the corner to replace his headgear
as the referee calls the doctor to ringside to look at Grabowski's
bloody nose and again has to warn Grabowski's corner not to come onto
the apron. Headgear replaced and Grabowski given the doctor's OK, the
referee calls both fighters to the center and warns them that no more
foolishness will be tolerated and someone will be disqualified if it continued.
The fight resumes. Gaston hits Grabowski, Grabowski hits Gaston.
Both fighters try to take the other out with one shot. All judges gave the
edge in the round to Gaston due to the 8-count. Round 3 Grabowski comes
across and throws several shots at Gaston's head. Gaston
responds with a powerful shot to the face of Grabowski which again
knocks his mouthpiece out. Time stopped, the mouthpiece is replaced and Grabowski
is again warned for losing his mouthpiece. Gaston senses Grabowski
is hurt and comes with the stronger shots but a tough yet bloody Grabowski
fights back with a series of punches of his own. Gaston counters with a
hook to the head and Grabowski again loses his mouthpiece forcing the referee to
stop time and take a point away for spitting his mouthpiece out. Grabowski
is very tired during the closing seconds of the round. He is sitting against
the corner of the ring as both fighters exchange punches at the final bell.
Referee Mike Storm steps between the fighters to stop them when Grabowski
throws a punch around the referee and hits Gaston in the head. At that
time, Referee Mike Storm pulled Grabowski out of the corner and
disqualified him for unsportsmanlike conduct, hitting after the bell.
Winner by Disqualification-David Gaston.
- "Grabowski's corner comes onto the apron and attempts to go to the
neutral corner."
IKF:
This could easily be a call for "IMMEDIATE DISQUALIFICATION!" ANY time
a Trainer takes the effort to stand on the apron during such a time is without a
doubt, an infraction worthy of a DQ. Hopefully the warning was a VALUABLE
Learned lesson for Grabowski's trainer, who should have and would have known
this is not allowed!
- Men's Welterweight MMA
Brian Sharwarko,
0-1-0, Charles Wilson, Plainfield, IL, Vs
Tommy Benson
2-0-0, Mokena, IL.
Shawarko comes forward and throws
punches at Benson. Benson responds with a hook to Sharwarko's
jaw that puts him down but Benson fails to jump on him. Benson
allows Sharwarko to stand and resume the fight. Sharwarko
attempts a head lock takedown but Benson pulls out of it as Sharwarko
falls down with Benson on top in a side mount throwing knees to Sharwarko's
body. Benson stands and allows Sharwarko to get up. Benson
then throws a left hook that puts Sharwarko down. Benson now
jumps on him and begins a vicious ground and pound that forces Referee Robert
Hinds to stop the fight at 1:11 of the first round.
Winner by TKO-Tommy Benson.
- Men's Cruiserweight Muay Thai
Vincent Eazelle, 1-0-0,
Premier Martial Arts, John Geyston, Springfield, IL., vs
Sean Whalen, 0-1-0, Ryan Blackorby,
Peoria, IL.
Round 1: Eazelle comes across with a round kick to Whalen's
head scoring a flash knockdown. Referee Mike Storm stands him and the
fight continues. Eazelle comes back with a couple of hooks to Whalen's
head for another flash knockdown. Again he stands and the fight continues.
Eazelle begins as the aggressor and tries to keep Whalen off
balance. After a little while, Whalen gets his wits about him and is
able to keep a safe recovery distance and/or begin to block a lot of Eazelle's
shots. Whalen begins to attack Eazelle as the round nears the
end but it was too little too late as all judges gave the edge in the round to
Eazelle.
Round 2: Eazelle comes in with a series of front kicks to the body
of Whalen and a round kick to the head which Whalen handles
better than he did in the first round. Whalen starts to connect with
punches to Eazelle's body but not enough power to hurt him. Eazell
was able to do a lot of effective fighting while backing up to maintain the edge
in the round according to all judges.
Round 3: Both fighters begin the round attempting to keep a safe distance
in order to lure the other into making a mistake. There were a lot of shots
thrown by both fighters this round; many of them not landing effectively. Whalen
tried to show more aggression in the round but not sufficient to win the round.
Two of the three judges gave the edge to Eazelle in the round.
The judges scored the fight 30-27, 29-28 and 30-27. Winner by
Unanimous Decision-Vincent Eazelle.

1: Bordonado throws a left hook which Hall ducks under and
takes Bordonado down with a double leg takedown. Hall moves
Bordonado into the corner as both fighters jockey for position. Bordonado
swings his leg up and tries a triangle choke but Hall stands up and
pulls out of it and then drops back onto Bordonado. Both fighters
cautiously trying to work into a position of dominance but after a period of
inactivity, Referee Robert Hinds stops them and stands them to begin
again. Hall throws a left hook to the head and successfully shoots for
a takedown as the round ends. All judges gave the edge to Hall in the
round.
Round 2: Bordonado attempts a left hook to Hall's head,
Hall ducks under and uses a double leg takedown to put Bordonado
on his back. Hall sweeps Bordonado's leg around into a side
mount and then swings his leg over for a full mount. Bordonado twists
around and allows Hall to grab his arm. Hall sits into a
straight armbar but Bordonado fights it for nearly 30 seconds until he
is able to turn into it and get his arm out while switching positions with Hall.
Bordonado now on top, he tries to sweep Hall's leg aside but
Hall twists and gives Bordonado his back. Bordonado
jumps on and tries a rear naked choke on Hall. Hall blocks the choke
and makes it to the end of the round. All judges gave the edge to Hall
in the round for the nearly fight ending straight armbar.

which Hall ducks under and takes him down. Bordonado, on the
bottom, works his legs up around Halls head and shoulders in a triangle
choke attempt but Hall stands and get out of it. Bordonado was

- Men's Super Welterweight Muay Thai
Efrin Vazquez, 0-1-0, James & Ron Hill,
Plainfield, IL., vs
Sean Dowling, 2-0-0, Ricardo Perez,
Force-Toro
Round 1: Dowling begins with an inside leg kick but Vazquez
responds with a round kick to Dowling's head. They clinch and Dowling
begins to throw knee after knee to Vazquez' body. Vazquez possibly
sensing that Dowling is stronger in the clinch, chooses to break so he
can use his speed to kick Dowling. Vazquez manages to throw fast high
kicks to the head and upper body of Dowling while Dowling
answered back with possibly stronger sidekicks and punches to Vazquez'
body. Dowling manages to get inside and throw more knees from the
clinch as the round ends. All judges gave the edge in the round to Dowling.
Round 2: Both fighters exchange a series of blows with neither taking the
early edge in the round. Eventually, Dowling starts to focus on kicking
the inside of Vazquez' left leg. Vazquez, the faster of the two, is
able to throw a lot of shots but Dowling appears to throw the harder
shots. A better round for Vazquez but Dowling took the edge on
two of the three judges' scorecards.
Round 3: Vazquez came out with an early round kick to the head of
Dowling. Dowling blocked most of it and began the campaign to assault
the legs of Vazquez again. Vazquez does a jump round kick to Dowling's
head that was again mostly blocked and seemed not to bother Dowling as
Dowling continued to work on Vazquez' leg with powerful kicks
throughout the round. Vazquez appeared to be the busier of the two but
it appeared he was unable to match the power of Dowling.
The judges scored the fight 29-28, 28-29 and 29-28. Winner by
Split Decision, Sean Dowling.
- Men's Super Heavyweight MMA
Mike Morrissey
0-1-0, Champaign, IL., Vs
Arnold Adams
1-0-0, Rachal's Hapkido, Chicago, IL.
Round 1: Morrissey starts with a series of punch/kick
combinations on Adams. Adams responds with punches of his own. They
get close, clinch and decide to step back unwilling to take the fight to the
ground so early. Adams throws a "Superman" punch and
knocks Morrissey to his hands and knees. Adams moves down onto
Morrissey's back but not able to do much. Morrissey shrugs him
off and turns so both fighters are on their knees facing each other. After a
period of inactivity, Referee Robert Hinds stands them and restarts
them. They exchange kicks that don't connect and then they exchange punches
that are ineffective. They clinch and lay on each other toward the end of the
round and roll on the ropes as the bell rings to end the round. All judges gave
the edge to Adams in the round.
Round 2: They exchange jabs in the beginning right before Morrissey
shoots for a takedown but Adams sprawls and blocks it. Morrissey
reach out and pulls both legs in putting Adams down with Morrissey
on top. Morrissey throws punches to the head and body of Adams
as Adams attempts to block many of them. Adams turns over and
gives Morrissey his back. Morrissey is unable to do anything
with Adams on his knees in a "turtle" position as the
round ends. The edge in the round went to Morrissey on all judges'
cards.
Round 3: Both fighters are very exhausted as they touch gloves to start
the last round. Morrissey attempts a single leg takedown as Adams
sprawls on top of him. Both tired fighters are admonished by Referee Robert
Hinds to pick up the action. Morrissey shoots again but gets it
blocked by Adams who throws punches to the body of Morrissey.
At the final bell, both fighters are so tired, they stay on the mat for a few
moments before going to their corners.
All three
judges scored the fight 29-28. Winner by Unanimous Decision, Arnold Adams.
- Men's Welterweight MMA
Christopher Descourouez, 0-1-0, Ryan Stanitsch,
Rockford, IL., vs

Ryan Blackorby, Peoria, IL.
Do comes across punching as Descourouez ducks under
and takes Do down. Do twists out and stands up. Descourouez
tries to punch Do in the head but Do clinches him and throws a
couple of knees. Referee Robert Hinds stops time to let Dr. Bruce
Hertz examine a cut on the side of Descourouez' head. The doctor
said it was not a problem and the fight resumed. Descourouez came
across the ring with a wild looping punch that Do ducked under and took
Descourouez' back throwing a rear naked choke on him and forcing Referee
Robert Hinds to stop the fight at 1:44 of the first round.
Winner by TapOut, Nam Do
- Although registered with the ISCF
Nam Do was never approved to fight on this
event. ISCF is reviewing circumstances as
to how he was allowed to fight that could lead to fines and suspensions for all
who allowed this bout to take place.
- Christopher Descourouez was never
registered with the ISCF. Registration was
requested at the event. However, this is not allowed due to the fact that a
proper background check cannot be done in time and all Fighter Registrations
must be first cleared through ISCF
headquarters before an event. ISCF is
reviewing circumstances as to how he was allowed to fight that could lead to
fines and suspensions for all who allowed this bout to take place.
In addition to this outstanding fight card, we would like to recognize Mike
Bleecha and Jimmy Bullock as well as Anthony Fearn and Cameron
Law for putting on two fine Muay Thai Rules exhibitions. The two sets of
fighters train together everyday in the gym. They trained for other opponents
but when no one could be found to compete against them, they decided to get in
the ring and give the fans a lesson on what to expect in a muay thai match-up.

REPRESENTATIVE CHUCK WOLFE:
"Scorched Earth"
is as ancient as the Persians, then Romans in battle! It's a war-term meaning
punitive destruction of an enemy's resources, which is done for strategic rather
than tactical reasons ~ destroying anything that's useful to the "enemy".
Tonights warriors used this strategy decisively and swiftly - taking what their
enemies offered in battle in the cage, destroying their tools and ultimately
coming out victorious. The weapons utilized tonight included the brain, brawn
and bravery! Don't miss the next exciting event - it could be the "Mother
of all Events"!

AND THE WINNER IS...
"SECOND"
Annual
2008
ISCF MMA WORLD CLASSIC!
AMATEUR MMA CHAMPIONSHIP TOURNAMENT
ONCE AGAIN, WE WILL BE AT THE...
US Cellular Center &
Crowne Plaza Hotel
May 2nd, 3rd & 4th, 2008 - In
Cedar Rapids, Iowa, USA
A lot of this may sound the same from last year, which makes it
easy for us, and everyone else. It had come down to 3 locations of the over 50
Bid Proposals we received from around North America. One location in Missouri,
one from Indiana and the Iowa location.
In the end, it was the combined efforts of the
US
Cellular Center ( The same Event Arena used for last years
first ISCF MMA Tournament and he 2003 and 2006 IKF Annual Kickboxing Tournament),
the
Crowne Plaza
Five Seasons Hotel and the
Cedar Rapids
Convention Visitors Bureau in Cedar Rapids, Iowa, USA.
The US Cellular Center is the same Arena that the
UFC used when they came to Iowa back in the 90's before settling in Las
Vegas.
At last years first ever ISCF MMA WORLD CLASSIC we only used 1 cage.
It won't be until about two weeks prior to the event whether or not we will use
1 or two for 2008. On the idea board again for 2008 is whether or not we will
have a "Non Striking" Grappling Tournament during the same
weekend. This has yet to be determined.
The US Cellular Center is a beautiful 28,000 square
foot "Stadium Seating Arena" which has held the title of the
FINEST Venue we have ever had over
all
the years (9 straight years now) of the annual IKF
Kickboxing Tournament. There is a total of 16,200 square feet on the
actual arena floor space, and add in the Stadium Seating area and there is
plenty of seating for spectators. Better yet, since nearly all the seating is
elevated, there is not a bad seat in the house!
It is one of the most impressive entertainment venues in the
Midwest. It also has 4 complete locker rooms (Showers, lockers etc.) for
the participants and plenty of warm-up area surrounding the outside of the arena
bowl under the elevated seating areas. As far as sporting events, in the past it
has hosted as mentioned above, the UFC along with the Taekwondo
Nationals and many Wrestling Championships and even WWF
wrestling (Now WWE), not to mention many stars like the Harlem
Globetrotters as well as concerts including
KISS, Prince, Stevie Ray Vaughn, Amy Grant, Diana Ross, Pantera, Motley
Crue, Alan Jackson, Brooks & Dunn, Styx, AC/DC, Tim McGraw and Faith Hill,
Diamond Rio, Martina McBride, Gaither Homecoming, Barry Manilow, Chicago, Bon
Jovi, Blue Collar Comedy, Chicago, Beach Boys and Bob Dylan.
The 275 room
Crowne Plaza
Five Seasons Hotel is also Fantastic! The 16-story hotel is
situated in the heart of downtown Cedar Rapids and is conveniently located just
10 minutes (eight miles) from Cedar Rapids Airport (Eastern Iowa
Airport). The Hotel will provide Free Shuttle Service for all
tournament Attendees (Fighters, trainers, officials and of course, fight
families and fans!)
It is connected by hallway to the US
Cellular Center and connected by 12-block skywalk system to numerous
shopping and dining options and 2 theatres, the Theatre Cedar Rapids and the
IMAX Theatre. All 275 rooms in the 16-story hotel feature cable TV and in-room
movies, coffee maker, hair dryer, ironing board/iron and there are of course,
non-smoking rooms available. There is also a business center, fitness center,
indoor pool, and sauna. Top of the Five rooftop restaurant and Front Street
Lounge, serving lighter fare, are both open 7 days a week. The room rate for a
weekend at the Crowne Plaza Five Seasons Hotel
is usually $140.00 per night, however our special ISCF MMA WORLD CLASSIC rate will only be
$109.00 per night. The US Cellular Center
is simply down an elevator and a hallway from everyone's hotel room.
HOST HOTEL
ALL Participants are required
to stay in the Host Hotel. This is a lesson we learned at
a past
IKF Tournament. The lessons learned
happened at back to back IKF Tournaments
before we made the decision to put in place the mandatory host hotel rule. At
one of our past IKF Kickboxing Tournaments
we had Fighters get injured in their bout and we needed to contact their parents
who were not in the venue at the time of their bouts. At another past tournament
we had some fighters we needed to locate due to bout changes but we could not
find them in the event room or in the hotel because they were at another hotel
sleeping. Due to these issues causing a lot of problems, we do not want to face
such issues again. This is why this is a MANDATORY
RULE now for competitors at not only the IKF
Kickboxing Tournament, but it will also be a rule for the ISCF MMA WORLD CLASSIC.
At Registration we will be asking each fighter and trainer for their room number
and room confirmation code in case we need to contact them for bout or schedule
changes or in case of any emergency. The ISCF
will have a main Headquarters Suite for all event organizations duties.
The hotel layout also allows us to block off a private floor for all the ISCF Event Officials to book their rooms on.

ISCF's
OBLIGATION TO THE SPORT... Looking at the numbers above, once one
does the math for 8 belts at $1,500.00 each ($12,000.00) plus the other
14 at $265.00 each ($3,710.00) and already we have over $15,000 in just Belt
Awards. This does not include the Thousands of dollars in additional awards
which will of course add more $$ to the mix. Overall we plan to give out between
$20 and $25,000 in awards and gifts alone. This event is the ISCF's opportunity to "Give Back"
to the Amateur side of our sport because as you can add up here, there will not
be any profit for us in this event unless we sell a lot of spectator tickets, so
"Bring your Fans!" Like with the yearly
IKF Tournament, that started as a USA
only, than grew to a North American and is now a WORLD Amateur
Kickboxing Tournament, we feel it is our obligation and duty to create the
Ultimate "Golden Glove" style tournaments for our fight
sports! The expenses for this Tournament and the other Tournaments we host are
necessary to create "Legit Amateur Champions" and a "First
Class Event and Venue" for these Top Amateurs to fight in and at!
We hope you agree.
OFFICIALS As
would be expected, an event of this size will be needing a lot of Officials (Judges,
Timekeepers, Referees and assistants). Those of you who are either local to
the event or already going, please let us know by e-mail if you can volunteer to
be an official at this event. We have received a lot of request for officials
however most of them are asking for us to pay their travel fees and we simply
cannot afford this because of the cost of the venue, awards and the many other
items that go into promoting such an event. There simply is no budget for 50+
Officials. For these very reasons, officials (or trainers who can assist as
officials) who can pay their own travel fees will be selected first as the
event officials as we have done every year for our
IKF Tournament. Once we have you
confirmed, we will list you on our ISCF MMA WORLD CLASSIC OFFICIALS PAGE.
Each official will receive a free ISCF MMA WORLD CLASSIC Officials Shirt and
the ISCF will pay for your lunch on both
days of the Tournament just as the IKF
does for Officials at our annual
IKF Tournament. So, If you are able to
volunteer to be an Official at 2008
ISCF MMA WORLD CLASSIC please let the
us know by e-mail at: info@iscfmma.com

COACHES & TRAINERS
EVENT PASSES Like last years ISCF MMA World Classic and like
every year with our IKF Kickboxing
Tournament, there are a lot of people who try to sneak into these events
claiming to be assistant trainers, officials, etc. etc. For this reason, as we
do at our IKF Tournament now, we will
charge for an Official ISCF
MMA WORLD CLASSIC Cornerman/Trainers Badge.
This will prevent individuals just attaining a cornermans pass
for free only to watch the event. The other reason for this is to police each
fighters corner so that only Registered Cornermen and Trainers are in each
fighters corner in "The Pit" and the warm-up area. Only
registered cornermen/women will be allowed into each fighters corner and "The
Pit."
- The cost of each Official ISCF
MMA WORLD CLASSIC Cornerman/Trainers Badge are
- CHIEF/HEAD Trainer/Cornerman: $10
- Assistant Trainer/Cornerman $20 for up to a limit of 3 per Fight Camp/Team.
(Not per fighter)
- Any requested Trainer/Cornerman passes past these first 4 can be purchased
for $30.00.
When you mail in your registration form and fee, you MUST
INCLUDE A HEADSHOT PHOTO OF YOURSELF in your mailing! This photo and fee
will need to be mailed in PRIOR to the event so that we can have your
Official PHOTO ID Badge made for you prior to the event. The
photo you send in should be no larger than 2 inches X 2 inches.
IF you bring your own 2" x 2" headshot photo to
Registration: You will be charged $25 for your Official PHOTO ID
Badge.
If we have to take your Photo at Registration: You will
be Charged $35 $35.00 for your Official PHOTO ID Badge.

C R Hess
Vs Eddie Barker
Bout Scratched
Both fighters were from the same
gym. The promoter was unable to secure a match for either fighter, and they
initially said they were willing to fight each other. Upon discussion with the
promoter, it was decided that since one of them would have a loss incurred on
their record as a result of this fight, they preferred to have a loss to someone
from a different gym. The promoter and the fighters agreed to scratch this bout,
no harm - no foul, and they would be re-scheduled for a later event with
new opponents. Fighters and promoter made a handshake agreement to scratch the
bout with no fine or punishment. Both fighters did want to do an exhibition
match to show case their martial arts schools style. The promoter agreed and
they performed an exhibition bout.

fighters were bleeding badly from cuts and from their noses. Cabreja
would hold back while Simms advanced then would launch and explosive
uppercut that would miss by a fraction.

when Cabreja launched another explosive uppercut that found its mark
this time, sending Simms to the mat.

- AMATEUR Super Heavyweight MMA
Nick Hoover vs Scott Carson
Hoover came out
with the game plan of trying to stalk and make the big connection to KO on Carson.
Carson worked the ring and kept away for the most part and was able to
connect with good strikes and some kicks. Hoover was able to trap Carson
against the cage and side mount him and made the efforts to ground and pound.
Carson was able to escape and keep it standing. Good strikes from both
sides, but Hoovers stamina was lacking and he was ineffective in
capitalizing on his larger size.
Winner: Scott
Carson by Unanimous Decision, Judge Angie Brooks: 27-30, Judge Gary Crim: 27-30,
Judge Mike Boyce: 28-29.
- AMATEUR Lightweight MMA
Cory Popanz Vs
Jacob Kirwan
Kirwin dominated
the ground game and frustrated Popanz attempts to keep it swinging and
making it a standup contest. Even while spending most of his time on his back
defending Kirwins attempts to submit, Popanz was never relenting
and continued to press his striking game while mounted and did a tremendous job
of defending the ground and pound of Kirwin. Popanz was like an eel
always working his position to try and gain advantage and escape, but Kirwin
was too well balanced in the mount and kept Popanz contained.
Winner: Jacob Kirwin by Unanimous Decision, Judge Angie Brooks:
27-30, Judge Gary Crim: 27-30, Judge Brad Duruttya: 27-30
- It was unknown as of press time why these

More Safety... And Accountability.
Over the last year we have come across situations where a
fighter has fought as a Professional MMA Fighter one night, and turned around
and fought as a Amateur MMA fighter the same weekend. We have also seen a
fighter get Knocked Out, or stopped due to strikes, and turn around and fight as
quickly as the next night.
When this happens, it makes it nearly impossible for "ANY"
Sanctioning body to assure a fighter is an AMATEUR for an Amateur bout or assure
a fighters medical safety because there is no time between the two fights to
report the results to inform those associated with the next event. Worse yet, if
a fighter is knocked out, or stopped due to excessive strikes, it allows for no
time for the fighter to be evaluated by a licensed physician to assure his
safety for the next fight he/she has booked.
Because of this, we here at the ISCF
are taking a pro-active move for the safety of the Amateur Fighter, as well as
Pro Fighters.
Beginning January 1st, 2008,
the ISCF will implement a rule that most
states that sanction MMA already have in place. It is known as the "Safety Time Rule" or STR.
The first part of this rule (time between bouts if the
fighter wins or does not lose by KO/TKO) does not apply to "Tournament
Fighting" of course because the fighter would be fighting within the
same event where he/she can be checked out between fights by the event ringside
physician and the event sanctioning body representatives. This new rule is to
avoid a fighter, fighting on a "Different Promotional" event
less then 7 days after a fight or a fighter fighting too soon after being
defeated by a Knock Out or by too many striking blows.
- Rule Defined:
- No fighter can fight within 7 days after their last fight unless in a
tournament within a 3 day time span.
- Example 1: So if you fight on Friday night the 1st, you cannot
fight again until the following weekend, Saturday the 8th.
- Example 2: If you fight on Saturday night you are out until the
next Sunday (a full 7 days)
- A fighter (Pro or Amateur) who is not Knocked Out or stopped due to
strikes can fight every 8 days.
- If a fighter is Knocked Out, or their bout stopped due to
strikes; Tournament or not,
- It is the responsibility of the event Referee and Ringside Physician to
evaluate the severity of the KO/TKO and while still at the event, issue a
medical suspension of a minimum of 30 days to the fighter knocked out or
stopped.
- This is to assure that the fighter has time to recover from the Knock Out
or blows suffered and be evaluated by a licensed Medical Doctor to assure they
are able to fight again and when.
- In Kickboxing and Boxing these suspensions run between 30-45 days,
depending upon the severity of the Knock Out or strike damage. They can be much
longer if the Ringside Physician feels the fighter's injuries were more severe.
- Any fighter can "Challenge" the length of a suspension
decision with documentation from a licensed medical doctor clearing him/her
medically as being medically cleared to fight again.
- The KO/TKO rule will also apply to cuts and injuries and the suspensions
will be determined by the Ringside Physician.
- To assure honesty and accountability, every fighter will be required to
sign a form that will be given to the ISCF
Promoter and ISCF Event Representative "BEFORE
THEIR FIGHT" stating in truth about his/her last fight info which will
include:
- Fight Event Date.
- Where event was held: City, State, Country.
- Promoter of the event.
- Name of Opponent.
- Sanctioning body who sanctioned the fight, if there was a sanctioning
body involved.
- If a loss, if it was stopped as a Knock Out or TKO (Technical Knockout
- Stop due to strikes)
This new "Safety Time Rule"
or STR. can be found on it's own page by clicking
HERE.

ISCF CHANGES...
ISCF PRO & AMATEUR SANCTIONING
Now More Affordable For Events
Overseen By State
Commissions
Before today, to sanction an ISCF
Pro event, that is also sanctioned and overseen by a State Athletic/Boxing
Commission would have cost a pro promoter a minimum, $350.00. However, we have
had several requests for us to help Pro MMA events in several areas from Pro
Promoters who are already paying a lot of money to their State Commissions and
don't have that extra $350 in their promotional budget for sanctioning fees.
Most of these promoters have been asking for a discount in sanctioning fees from
the ISCF because they like the advertising
we offer on our events page and news page. They also like that their fighters
can gain additional exposure from the news page results and more so, from their
own contact information being listed in the ISCF
Rankings. Adding to this, having their fighters ranked by a neutral ranking
system offers yet another plus for ISCF
Sanctioning. Especially since the ISCF is
the ONLY MMA Sanctioning body with rankings for both Professional and
amateur MMA fighters.
With this being said, the cost to have the ISCF Sanction an ALL PRO event that already
has a State Commission overseeing the event is only $50.00. Yes... $50.00!
That's a pretty good deal when you consider the amount of
advertising exposure alone the promoter will receive for their events.
As for additional fees, the promoter will be required to pay
for what we are calling an "ISCF
Witness Representative" who will basically be there to witness the
event and send in a fight results report to the ISCF
Headquarters after the event for our posting here on the news page. The cost of
the "ISCF Witness Representative""
for these ALL PRO events is only $100.00 plus the travel expenses if
necessary. Travel expenses will depend on the location of the event in reference
to the "ISCF Witness
Representative" appointed to the event.
For shows where a State Commission oversees the Pro bouts, but
not the Amateur bouts, regular ISCF
Amateur Sanctioning will be required, but there will be NO FEE for the
pro fights since the Promoter would already be paying for the ISCF Amateur Sanctioning and ISCF Event Representative.
AMATEUR MMA EVENTS
OVERSEEN
BY STATE COMMISSIONS
For States where a State Commission oversees
an Amateur MMA event such as Kansas, Georgia or Ohio, the ISCF will reduce the sanctioning fee by 40%. So
instead of paying $250.00 for sanctioning (If paid 45 days in advance)
the promoter would only pay $150.00. In addition, the fighters who are already
booked on these events but not registered with the ISCF,
these fighters would not be required to pay the full $25 Fighters Registration
Fee. This is because they are most likely already paying a fee to the State for
Registration. So, for these Amateur fighters, the ISCF
Registration fee would only be $15.00, ($20 if paid by cc).
As with the Pro event Sanctioning above, the only additional
fees the promoter will be required to pay for will be for the "ISCF Witness Representative" who will
again, simply be at the event to witness it and send in a fight results report
to the ISCF Headquarters after the event
for our posting here on the news page. The cost of the "ISCF Witness Representative"" for
these events is only $100.00 plus the travel expenses if necessary. Travel
expenses will depend on the location of the event in reference to the "ISCF Witness Representative" appointed to
the event.
Hopefully these additions will answer the call of the many Pro
MMA Promoters who have asked for assistance on sanctioning their State
Commissioned MMA events. We look forward to working with you.
