Canadian Rumour Mill – September 10
photo: Jason Bouwmeester
Well it sure looks like Canadian MMA has finished its summer break and really starting back up strong. FIVE shows this coming weekend and Mike Hill and Mike Ricci on TUF 14! (http://topmmanews.com/
- Fast rising Jason Saggo’s next bout will be against Eric Moon for Score Fighting Series in Sarnia.
- As well SFS – Sarnia will debut the first Ontario flyweight (125lbs) fight since MMA was legalized in that province; Malcolm Gordon will take on Tyler Kirk at that event.
- And… Brad Cardinal has signed with SFS. I’m curious if the much delayed possible bout with David Letourneau will ever happen?
- Speaking of AFC, look for Paul Cheng to take on Ryan Hunter in a HW match up at the November AFC 12 show.
- I’m hearing more and more that AFC may be the only show held in Winnipeg this year… NO CFM? NO CFC? NO SFS? :(
- There’s been some WRECK MMA chatter on the site this last week, so here’s some stuff for you guys…
- Look for Nathan Gunn to take on Mark Holst
- Randy Turner could take on UFC vet Joseph Sandoval.
- Also, we have seen a couple of OAMA fighters fight for UK based Cage Warriors (Jordan and Ukraine shows). Now rumours are out there that WRECK and Cage Warriors are talking. Could this lead to the first Cage Warriors show in Canada in the future?
- So Mike Schiavello said that Mike Kent had retired due to repeated broken hands. No word if this is true or a mistake by The Voice. My thoughts are that The Voice is wrongo!
- Shane Campbell is in need of high level opponent for his October 5th Unified MMA bout.
- Tristar Fights may debut as early as November 30th with Alex Garcia making his return from injury on the card!
- Who will fight Advin Omic for the 170 lb AFC title at the Calgary AFC show in November?
- It looks like Mike Davis will take on Eric Wilson at 130lbs on the same Unified MMA show.
- The next Aggression show in Edmonton will be November 23rd.
- Kurt Southern will not be appearing on the first World Series of Fighting card. He’s pencilled in for the second WSOF card tentatively scheduled for January. Hopefully Southern gets a fight in before that, it’s already been over a year since his last fight!
- Smealinho Rama has been signed for MFC 35.
- K-1 Results: Gabriel Varga defeated Lerdsila Chumpairtour by unanimous decision, while the on weight Markhaile “Showtime” Wedderburn was defeated by Jeremiah Metcalf via KO (knee to the body).

@ Jamie,
Only Darren can confirm? He might too busy in Winnipeg to confirm/deny any rumors!
yes it is official the bout between kirk/Gordon at flyweight. It is also the first SFS flyweight bout in Ontario but i do believe this month in Toronto the title fight between mighty mouse and Benavidez is the first official bout at that weight under the OAC!!!!
Rama’s coaches and I haven’t decided yet where he was gonna fight next!!! Stay tuned on TopMMAnews to find out or check independentmma.com

I’m optimistic that another promotion will hold an event by year’s end in Winnipeg. Here’s to hoping! *crosses fingers*

^I actually already found this out talking on the phone with my mom…she was wondering if I knew of him and I told her she watched him fight on the same show as me once Haha!
Mike kent will always be retired When it comes to fighting somebody with a winning record or somebody that he stands no chance against . But I’m sure if he gets the right fight we will see him in action again .
Well-loved!

Haha…. That was the Romero fight right Adam. Isn’t that the night Owen Carr gave Keenan 2 ball shots, and the fight was a no contest?
Did mike kent get released by MFC?
Speaking of Owen Carr, he hasnt tried to play matchmaker and rearrange a fightcard he was on to get out of a fight recently. Any word on him?
Well-loved!

Do any of you guys have any ideas how hard it is to be 8-0 and never fought anyone ? The thought and energy that goes into picking and choosing the easiest fights possible deserves respect ! Bow down bitches

If mike kent did released from the MFC he will for sure come out of retirement that means he does not have to face high level compaction and can pick his fights again . By the end of 2013 he should be 15-0

Lol you can ask any promotor I’ve fought for I’ve never asked for specific competition or easy fights. I just racked up a bunch of fights in a one year period on the east coast circuit. Then never fought since . I never ask for “easy”fight.
When healthy I’m down to fight whoever

your down to fight whoever ????? hahah you have retired what 3 or 4 times now ? and i dont believe any of those retirements came before you fighting a guy with a losing record or somebody you new you would beat . every time you have retired it was before a fight you have had lined up with a good opponent. DUMB ASS

I must say your pretty smart mike kent you have pulled out of so many fights and retired so much that you will now never have to fight anybody that’s any good because no real fighter will even sighne a contract to fight you because it’s a waist of time because they no there’s a good chance you wont even show up .

Why is everyone hating on this mike Kent guy. I personally don’t know him. But he is 8-0 and you guys disrespect him like he’s a nobody, and half of you never fought before. Keyboard warriors!!!
Who cares if he fought easy guys? Who cares if he took the right fights to build a record. 8-0 looks good on paper, its a solid MMA record..soooooo give this guy a break and let him fight whoever, whenever he wants.

Ask anyone with a brain, its good to protect your record when you begin a career in MMA. take fights that will help you progress each time. Not everyone wants to just jump in there and scrap with top guys right away, walk away with a loss and look like a fucking moron. It’s not always wise to just take any fights. Some guys are in this for the long haul, trying to build a name for themselves and make money to feed their families.

Lick the sweat bubbles from under big John’s tits ypu wanna take tough fights and get beat on
Shouldn’t aim too look good on paper, dick. I didn’t say that! You need to take fights that make sense and build a solid record to get recognized. Not just jump in there with a top guy in your first couple of fights and get schooled

hey papaglowstick are you a fighter?
Darren, maybe when you return after the show here he may have some suggestions for you on a new opponent?
I met Mike when I fought on the east coast, just before he moved out west and his hand looked like hamburger. No way he could have fought with that thing, guys accusing him of not fighting because he’s scared are idiots. The only way you keyboard warriors would understand a hand injury like that is if someone kicked you in the ass.

Thanks brent, it doesnt bother me on here when people talk shit and say im a bum that hasnt fough anyone and stuff like that , thats fine but when people say im faking injuriers to duck fights it does cother me becuase it really upset me to have to pull out of those fights with cody and it sucked for him to have to prepare twice for me and to have the fight not happen . anyone that knows me or has seen me in person can attest that my hand has been through some tough times .

According to his Facebook page,the WarDog officially weighed in this morning @ 267.7lbs. His opponent 235lbs.
Eat’em up WarDog!!!
Wow what a fight,Hudson lost a close decision after having a point takin away in 2 nd.
Rill was a gamer, fast feet, fast hands, but couldn’t handle the size and strength and Pressure from the WarDog,
That point cost him the fight, both men were very impressive
It says Shane Campbell was looking for a high level opponent for the Unified MMA belt… I heard the undefeated Ryan Dickson offered to take the fight and turned Campbell down?? Does an opponent get more high level? Fight politics I guess….
