In the main event, Brazilian MMA legend Jose "Pele" Landi-Jons (23-12) faces Nebraska knock-out artist Jake "The Juggernaut" Ellenberger (15-3).

A graduate of the famed Chute Boxe Academy in Brazil, Landi-Jons is looking to continue his winning ways after using an impressive kneebar to submit Florida tough guy Mitch McElroy at Bodog Fight: Paradise Lost in Costa Rica.

Ellenberger is the latest talent to emerge from the legendary Team Quest Fight Club in Oregon, which boasts MMA stalwarts like Matt "The Law" Lindland and "Dangerous" Dan Henderson. Looking to follow in the footsteps of his teammates, the hard-hitting Ellengerger has ten knockouts to his credit.

Thanks to XFC founder Bill "The Butcher" Mahood the rest of the Revolution card showcases some of Canada's best emerging MMA talent, including "Ragin'" Kajan Johnson, David Parisea, Tim Thurston and Tim Jenson.

Bodog Fight to Air Never Before Seen PPV Bouts

Send News and Event Results


For Immediate Release
October 25 , 2007

It is a shame for mixed martial arts fans, but every Pay-Per-View broadcast there are always some outstanding undercard fights that simply do not make it
to air.

Bodog Fight has the remedy!

This Tuesday, October 30 at 9 p.m. and midnight EST don't miss an entire
hour devoted to the unsung "undercard gladiators" from Bodog Fight: Clash of the Nations, when Bodog Fight continues in Canada on The Score Television
Network.

In the first of four unseen pay-per-view battles that took place in Russia last April, Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu specialist Rodrigo "Crazy Face" Damm (4-1) goes
up against fellow lightweight Santino DeFranco (14-5) of Arizona. Damm was coming off a big win over Kultar Gill, in which he literally threw "Black Mamba"
out of the ring, while DeFranco was a last minute replacement for the injured Mike Brown.

In welterweight action, Russian Dmitri Samoilov (2-0-1) squares off against another Arizona fighter, Ray Steinbeiss (8-3). After winning his first eight
fights, Steinbeiss had dropped three straight and was hungry for a win.

A pair of hard-hitting women step into the ring as Indiana's Julie Kedzie (7-5) takes on St. Petersburg native Julia Berezekova (2-1). Tune in to see if
Kedzie can overcome the hostile crowd and beat the Russian on her home turf.

The final bout features a pair of middleweights, with Russia's Amar Suloev (22-6) looking to put a lid on Georgia's Andy "The Garbage Pail Kid" Foster (8-1).
Suloev is a fierce competitor, with Chuck Liddell, Denis Kang and Phil Baroni among the only fighters to best him. Foster is a submission specialist whose
only loss is a decision to Brian Ebersole.
Don't miss Bodog Fight: Costa Rica Combat, airing Tuesdays and Thursdays at 9 p.m. and midnight EST in Canada on The Score.

Bodog Fight: The Complete First Series is now available on DVD. The four-disk set comes packed with more than ten hours of non-stop action and a ton of
extra features, including fighter commentary, new behind the scenes footage and six never-before-seen fights. Plus, get a bonus limited edition CD featuring

Sam Caplan has a write-up

Thompson said in a post in the Underground forum of MMA.TV that Bodog has made him a nice offer and he is considering taking it. However, he went on to state that he is unhappy with certain things that have happened in the organization and feels they are cutting back and not going after top talent so he is fielding other offers. He has 1 fight remaining on his Bodog fight deal.

Sam Caplan was on the Combat Hooligans show last week and Bodog Fight and the changes in philosophy in that organization were one of many topics discussed. You can find both parts of that show in the Show Archives Section

Bodog Fight's Welterweight Champ No Longer "Fainting Goat"

Send News and Event Results


For Immediate Release
Some guys fight over women. Nick Thompson became a fighter just to impress one.

"A few years ago I went to see a mixed martial arts show with my new
girlfriend," recalls the Minnesotan. "I wrestled a little bit in college so to try and impress her I told her I could do MMA. I started training the next
week. I was awful, but I was hooked."

Thompson was, in fact, so awful he was nicknamed "The Fainting Goat" for his unfortunate resemblance to an animal notorious for losing consciousness when
frightened. Knocked out in his first pro fight by journeyman Dan Hart, Thompson would go on to lose three of his first four bouts.

One of those early defeats came at the hands of Florida's Dustin "Clean" Denes, who again provides the opposition as the two square off Tuesday, October
23 at 9 p.m. and midnight EST when Bodog Fight: Costa Rica Combat continues in Canada on The Score Television Network.

However, Denes (12-3-3) will face a much different Thompson this time around.

The man now known only as "The Goat" rebounded from his early missteps to amass a record of 31-9-1 en route to becoming the new Bodog Fight Welterweight
Champion. Thompson's stunning knockout upset of formerly undefeated champ Eddie Alvarez (9-1) at Bodog Fight: Fedor Emelianenko vs. Matt Lindland in St.
Petersburg, Russia last April is also featured on this episode.

One last thing in case you were wondering: The girlfriend Thompson fought to impress? She's now his fiancé.
Don't miss Bodog Fight: Costa Rica Combat, airing Tuesdays and Thursdays at 9 p.m. and midnight EST in Canada on The Score.

Bodog Fight's Prangley says "Professional" Comes Tailor Made

For Immediate Release

October 11 , 2007

When devising a game plan, most mixed martial arts fighters play to their strengths - brawlers brawl, wrestlers wrestle and grapplers grapple. Clearly, middleweight sensation Trevor Prangley doesn't subscribe to this theory.

Despite his wrestling pedigree, the 34-year-old South African vows to beat striker Pierre "The Professional" Guillet at his own game when the two square off this Tuesday, October 16 at 9 p.m. and midnight EST as Bodog Fight: Costa Rica Combat continues in Canada on The Score Television Network.

"I am actually looking forward to trading punches with him," says Prangley.


Trevor_Prangley

Trevor Prangley

"Pierre is primarily a stand-up fighter, but I've been working hard in the gym to improve that particular aspect of my game. I think this fight will provide the perfect opportunity for me to see just how far I've come. Pierre is a tough guy, but I'm supremely confident in my own ability."

Prangley, who trains at the at the Lion's Den in Idaho, has a pro record of 14-4, with notable wins over Chael Sonnen and Travis Lutter. He also earned his second unanimous decision over hard-hitting Andrei Semenov in December at Bodog Fight: USA vs. Russia.

Guillet is a 33-year-old career military man, who has served over 10 years in the US Air Force. Currently stationed in the UK, he has appeared in Cage Rage and Ultimate Combat competitions, amassing a pro record of 10-4.

In other MMA action, 25-year-old Utah native Kyacey "Ice Cold" Uscola (12-6) squares off against Pancrase veteran, Izuru Takeuchi (20-8-1).

Making his second trip to Costa Rica, Uscola's on the comeback trail. "Ice Cold" suffered a meltdown against Prangley in the first season of Bodog Fight, and was caught with an arm triangle choke. However, this knockout specialist is always dangerous and is anxious to get back in the win column.

Takeuchi is no pushover though. The 32-year-old native of Okayama, Japan, has competed in numerous grappling tournaments, including the All-Japan Combat Wrestling Championships.

Bodog Fight Crowns Middleweight Champion

Send News


For Immediate Release

October 1 , 2007

Two of the worlds most formidable fighters will do battle on the next episode of the hit mixed martial arts series Bodog Fight: New Jersey, with the winner taking home the inaugural Bodog Fight Middleweight Championship belt.

South Africa's Trevor Prangley (14-4) would like nothing more than to adorn his muscular midriff with the bejeweled belt, but first he will have to get past Yuki Kondo (46-19-6).

A Japanese legend, Kondo has faced a who's who of the sport, including Tito Ortiz, Wanderlei Silva, Phil Baroni, Josh Barnett, and Dan Henderson. Needless to say, the 31-year-old Pancrase veteran is confident he can whip Prangley.

"Trevor is tough, but I've fought some of the best fighters in the world and I believe my experience will serve me well for this fight," warned Kondo.

Trevor Prangley

34-year-old Prangley, who now trains at the Lion's Den in Idaho, has notable wins over Travis Lutter and Kyacey "Ice Cold" Uscola. He also earned his second unanimous decision over hard-hitting Andrei Semenov in Vancouver at Bodog Fight: USA vs. Russia, before forcing Pierre "The Professional" Guillet to submit in the first round on Bodog Fight: Costa Rica Combat.

"I feel like I've earned this title shot," declared Prangley. "It's every fighter's goal to win a title belt and I won't let Yuki Kondo stand in my way."

Who will take home the hardware? Find out on this championship episode of Bodog Fight: New Jersey, Tuesday, October 2 at 11 p.m. / 10 p.m. Central on the ION Television Network.

Starting next week, stay tuned for a trio of special Bodog Fight episodes with bouts from the ground-breaking pay-per-view Bodog Fight: Clash of the Nations.

"King of Pancrase" on Bodog Fight: Costa Rica Combat

Send News


For Immediate Release
September 27, 2007

Yoshiki Takahashi's heavy hands and aggressive fighting style have earned him the reputation of being Japan's biggest brawler. Strange perhaps, considering
the Chiba native was better known for his wrestling skills before embarking on a decorated career in mixed martial arts.

"I was actually recruited by a Japanese pro-wrestling organization called Fujiwara-gumi," recalls the 37-year-old fighter. "But I decided instead to follow
Pancrase co-founder Masakatsu Funaki into MMA."

Now in his thirteenth year as a professional Takahashi can feel proud about what he has accomplished. In 2001, he became the first heavyweight "King of
Pancrase" under full MMA rules. Josh Barnett, Bas Rutten, and Ken Shamrock have all held this esteemed title.

However, success hasn't always been easy to come by for Takahashi. As a natural 215-pound light-heavyweight, he has often fought well above his weight
class at the request of promoters eager to capitalize on his popularity. Giving up major pounds to opponents like Igor Vovchanchyn and Heath Herring means
Takahashi's professional record (28-20-3) carries defeats uncharacteristic of a fighter with his ability.

Needless to say, this Japanese warrior will be anxious to add a win to his record when he squares off against Mark Burch this Tuesday, October 2
at 9 p.m. and midnight EST when Bodog Fight: Costa Rica Combat continues in Canada on The Score Television Network.


Unlike Takahashi, Mark Burch has fought for Bodog Fight before, losing to Mario Rinaldi by decision in the inaugural series. That loss is one of only two
defeats in nine fights for the 37-year-old from Portage, Indiana.

Coincidentally, Burch earned a victory over Serbian fighter Miodrag 'Pele' Petkovich, who will take on Arizona's Kellen Flukiger in other Bodog Fight
action.

The 35-year-old Petkovic, who now fights out of Chicago, has an MMA record of 13-5-1, while the 26-year-old Flukiger is a former All-American wrestler
making his pro MMA debut.

Bodog Fighters to determine best Fight Club

Send News


Reputation of Fight Clubs at Stake on Bodog Fight: New Jersey
For Immediate Release
September 22, 2007

Where is the best mixed martial arts training facility in the world? The next episode of the hit series Bodog Fight: New Jersey, may answer that question.

Training at the renowned Oregon gym, Team Quest under coach Robert Follis, 29-year-old Chael Sonnen (17-8-1) practices with world-class fighters like Matt
"The Law" Lindland and "Dangerous" Dan Henderson.

With impressive victories over Tim McKenzie, Alex Oleinik and Tim Credeur in Bodog Fight, it's obvious that being surrounded by such talent has helped
Sonnen raise his own game.

It has helped his bank account as well. In fact, Sonnen's first round knockout of Credeur earned him the title of "favorite fighter" as voted by
Bodog Fight viewers, and an extra fifty grand.

"Chael has always been good at fighting," says Lindland. "But in the past, he has treated the sport as a hobby whereas now he's in
the gym full time putting in the extra work and his results are starting to show that."

With better results comes better competition, and Sonnen's next opponent is a good example. Armenian Amar Suloev (23-6) has fought some of the best in
the sport, including Denis Kang, Chuck Liddell, Phil Baroni, and Din Thomas. His last fight, at Bodog Fight: Clash of the Nations in Russia, ended in just
26 seconds with opponent Andy Foster unconscious and convulsing on the canvas.

"No question, it's going to be a tough fight," says Sonnen. "Amar is strong and he punches and kicks hard."

At the famed Red Devil Sport Club in Russia, Suloev trains with his own team of top-notch fighters, including Fedor and Aleks Emelianenko.

"I grew up watching the Russian athletes and they're tough competitors," says Sonnen. "You only need to look at the medal count in any Olympics for proof
the Russian take athletics seriously."

So what is the Oregonian's game plan for Suloev?

"I'm not looking to stand and trade punches with him," says Sonnen. "I'm not afraid to fight him standing up, but not at range. I'd rather get my hands
on him and fight him in the clinch, or put him on his back. Either way, I'm prepared to fight hard for fifteen minutes."

Huntington Beach "Outlaw" Faces "Juggernaut" on Bodog Fight: Costa Rica Combat

Send News


For Immediate Release
September 20, 2007

Much like the Stan Lee comic book character from which he gets his nickname, Jake "The Juggernaut" Ellenberger is often unstoppable when in motion and
seemingly invulnerable to all forms of physical damage.

The 21-year-old mixed martial arts athlete has 12 wins in his 14 pro bouts with nine of those wins by way of knockout, earning him praise from one of the
best in the business.

"He's a young talented guy with a great work ethic," says trainer Matt Lindland. "That's a rare combination. He even helps out on my ranch in Oregon when
he needs some extra cash. I actually named one of my goats after him - Little Jake!"

"I'm not sure if that's an honor or not," laughs the Nebraska native. "But I do know training with guys like Matt and Dan Henderson at Team Quest has really
helped me to raise my game. Their commitment and dedication to the sport is second to none."

Ellenberger will get to demonstrate just how much he's learned this Tuesday, September 25 at 9 p.m. and midnight EST when Bodog Fight: Costa Rica
Combat continues in Canada on The Score Television Network.

Ellenberger will take on 33-year-old Huntington Beach native Zach "Lisbon's Outlaw" Light (5-3). Like Ellenberger, Light, who was born and raised in Lisbon,
Iowa, has also trained with one of the biggest names in the sport.

"I moved to California with nothing but a duffle bag and ended up meeting Tito Ortiz," explains Light. "After getting to know me, Tito offered me a spot
on Team Punishment and the rest is history."

Zach has since worked on his stand up and Jiu-Jitsu techniques. He believes he's a bad match-up for Jake Ellenberger.


"I know for a fact he can't stop my takedowns. He's got to hope for a big punch to stop me early. Whoever imposes their will is going to win the fight."


In other action, two of the toughest 125-pound women in MMA scrap it out when England's Rosie Sexton (5-1) and Japan's Windy Tomomi (7-3-4) take to the
mat.

Tomomi was one of the top Karate-ka in all of Japan before turning her attentions to MMA, where the 30-year-old continues to dish out punishment.


"Before a fight, I try to think about the fun I'm going to have hitting my opponent," she says.

But Sexton is no stranger to Bodog Fight fans, having defeated flamboyant Brazilian Carina Damm by submission in Bodog Fight: St. Petersburg. The 29-year-old
Black Belt in Tae Kwon Do has brains to match her brawn, with a PhD in Theoretical Computer Science to go with her Cage Warriors Women's Championship belt!

"Crazy Caveman" Hunts Opponent on Next Episode of Bodog Fight: New Jersey

Send News


For Immediate Release
September 17, 2007

There are fighters who act crazy before a fight, and then there are fighters who act crazy in the ring. New York's Crazy Dan "The Caveman" Hawley does
both.

It is safe to say four-time state wrestling champion Blair Tugman (1-0) will have his hands full when he steps into the ring against the unorthodox and
unpredictable Hawley (4-0) on the next episode of the hit mixed martial arts series Bodog Fight: New Jersey, airing Tuesday, September 18 at 11 p.m. /
10 p.m. Central on the ION Television Network.

"I've never lost a fight and I never will," says "The Caveman" with confidence. "I plan to rip off my opponent's arm and feed it to him in the ring. Meow!"

"He's going to have to fight my style," replies an unfazed Tugman. "He should worry about what I'm going to do to him, not what he's going to do to me!
I'm used to training with bigger guys, so I don't think I'll have any problem taking him down and controlling him on the mat."


Originally from New Jersey, now fighting out of Connecticut, Tugman will have the crowd in his corner for the 135-pound bantamweight bout.

"He's going to need all the help he can get when he comes up against my Preying Mantis Kung Fu," said Hawley. "Meow, meow, meow!"


Returning back to reality, heavyweights Yoshiki Takahashi (28-21-3) and Mark Burch (7-2) will face off in a re-match grudge fight.

"In February, we fought in Costa Rica," recalls the 37-year-old Burch. "The fight lasted about a minute and a half before I accidentally caught him with
a thumb in the eye. The referee ruled it a 'no contest'. Hopefully this time I'll get a chance to finish the fight."

Like Tugman, the Portage, Indiana native will have his hands full with the 37-year-old warrior from Japan.

Now in his thirteenth year as a professional, Takahashi was the first heavyweight "King of Pancrase" under full MMA rules, holding the belt before guys
like Josh Barnett, Bas Rutten, and Ken Shamrock.

WWE Star Makes Bodog Fight Debut‏

WWE Star Makes Bodog Fight Debut


For Immediate Release
September 14, 2007

There's always a healthy degree of skepticism when it comes to cross-over athletes. A few have enjoyed success, like Bo Jackson, Deion Sanders and Dennis Rodman (okay, he was a cross-dressing success). But remember when Michael Jordan tried his hand at baseball? Yikes!

The world of mixed martial arts also has its share of two-sport athletes, with several wrestlers and boxers crossing over into MMA. But the best examples are those who have left behind their former sports to pursue full-time MMA careers, like Bodog Fight's own Matt Lindland (20-5), who won an Olympic silver medal in Greco-Roman wrestling at the 2000 summer games in Sydney before venturing into MMA.

Another success story is former pro wrestler Daniel Puder of California, who takes on Indiana's Mike Alden this Tuesday, September 18 at 9 p.m. and midnight EST when Bodog Fight: Costa Rica Combat continues on The Score Television Network.




Daniel Puder

The 25-year-old Puder won World Wrestling Entertainment's first "Tough Enough Challenge" in 2004. However, he would later draw the ire of Vince McMahon by straying from the promoter's plan to have the popular Kurt Angle punish him during a WWE event. Instead, Puder humiliated Angle in front of a live audience by trapping the former Olympic Gold Medal wrestler in a "key lock". Angle has vowed revenge ever since.
If he wants his reprisal, however, Angle will have to leave the scripted world of sports entertainment and follow Puder to MMA, but it won't be easy.

Puder is now undefeated in four MMA fights heading into this heavyweight bout with the 23-year-old Alden, who is also undefeated at 6-0. Admitting this will be his toughest test to date, Puder is confident his wrestling pedigree has prepared him well for the rigors of Bodog Fight.

"I think that pro-wrestling has toughened me up," says Puder. "You're falling more, you're being dropped more and you can get hurt a lot quicker. I've been flash KO'd a few times [in pro wrestling] and had to keep going in the match. So I'm ready for whatever happens in the ring."

Puder may have found the transition smooth, but according to Bodog Fight founder Calvin Ayre, he represents the exception rather than the rule.

"MMA is such a multi-dimensional sport that most cross-over athletes find it difficult, and bringing them into an organization like Bodog Fight requires a different approach," says Ayre. "You have to assess their progress carefully, and matching them up with appropriate opponents can sometimes be tricky."

If Angle does eventually decide to make the jump to MMA, Ayre would have no problem finding him an opponent.

"Puder would be the obvious choice, but Kurt would probably want to get a few fights under his belt first," says Ayre. "But as a fan, I'd love to see that fight."

In other MMA action, Canada's Tyler "TNT" Jackson (7-3-2) squares off against fellow lightweight Kyle Watson (9-5-1) of Wisconsin.

Brad "One Punch" Pickett Aims to Entertain on Bodog Fight: Costa Rica Combat

Brad "One Punch" Pickett Aims to Entertain on Bodog Fight: Costa Rica Combat


For Immediate Release
September 10, 2007

Canadian viewers will find out if England's Brad "One Punch" Pickett can live up to his nickname when the hit mixed martial arts series Bodog Fight: Costa Rica Combat continues on The Score Television Network.

The former Cage Rage British featherweight champion (9-2) takes on J.R. Sims (1-1) of Las Vegas in lightweight action this Tuesday, September 11 at 9 p.m. and midnight EST.

Like most boys born and raised in London, England, Pickett hoped to become a professional footballer (soccer player), until discovering the sport of boxing at age 19. A natural, Pickett soon amassed an impressive amateur record of 9-1, including a string of quick knockouts, prompting British fans to label him "One Punch".

The nickname stuck, despite Pickett's switch to MMA at the age of 25. Just as well, considering he still prefers to KO his opponents.

"I'm not afraid to go toe-to-toe with anyone," says the 29-year-old. "I just like to put on a good show and entertain the crowd."




Brad "One Punch" Pickett

That sentiment extends to his pre-fight ritual as well, with Pickett entering the ring dressed as a 'pikey' - complete with suspenders and Trilby hat - to the song "Wallop" by Chas & Dave.
"Fans love it," laughs the British brawler.

While relatively new to MMA with just a pair of pro fights under his belt, the 23-year-old Sims also boasts a strong boxing pedigree. His uncle (and trainer) is the legendary Skip Kelp, coach of the UNLV Boxing Team. Needless to say, Sims is looking forward to trading shots with Pickett.

"He'll probably want to fight me standing up," predicts Sims. "That's okay, because I hit pretty hard, so if he wants to throw down I'm more than ready!"

Despite his underdog status, Sims is determined to prove he belongs in the MMA ring.

"To win means going on to bigger and better things and I don't feel like going backwards," he says.

"I couldn't care less about him," replies Pickett. "I hear he's a bit of a brawler, so let's just see who can take a good punch and who can give a good punch. I'm going to knock his head off."

In other action, 27-year-old Rafael "The Claw" Dias (7-1) of Florida takes on 34-year-old Sami Aziz (2-0) of Sweden.

Women's MMA Champion to be crowned on next Episode of Bodog Fight: New Jersey

Send News


Tune in to ION Television this Tuesday and witness mixed martial arts history!

For Immediate Release
September 8, 2007

September 11 at 11 p.m. / 10 p.m. Central, Bodog Fight will crown its first ever women's world champion, as Tara LaRosa and Kelly Kobold battle it out for
the 135-pound belt on a special episode of the hit series Bodog Fight: New Jersey.

The occasion is extra sweet for LaRosa (12-1), who was raised a few miles from Trenton's Sovereign Bank Arena where the fight takes place.

"I grew up in a small farming community called Woodstown in nearby Salem County," she says. "So this fight is in my back yard, and all my friends and family
will be there. I can't think of a better storyline than to have them cheering for me as I try to win the women's title. It's going to be awesome."

Most of Woodstowners at the now defunct St. James Catholic High School would not have imagined their mild-mannered classmate would grow up to be a professional
fighter, according to LaRosa.

"I wasn't tough at all back then," she says. "In fact, I couldn't pick a fight to save my life. Actually, I was known more for
being the peacekeeper when a fight did break out."

In 1996 a love of Jean Claude van Damme and Chuck Norris action films inspired her to enroll in Judo. Winning several competitions, LaRosa soon moved to
MMA, studying with the legendary Royce Gracie. During this time, she often crossed paths with Laura D'Auguste, who was originally slated to fight LaRosa
before tearing ankle ligaments during training.

"Laura and I both came up through the North American Grappling Association," recalls LaRosa. "We've come very close to fighting several times before, but
for whatever reason we could never hook it up. So, I was really excited to finally fight her, but I guess it just wasn't meant to be."

Instead, LaRosa will face the knockout power and excellent submissions of the hard-hitting Kobold (16-0-1).

Surprisingly, LaRosa thinks she is an underdog. "People will expect me to win, but this is not an easy fight for me. Kelly's more of a brawler, unlike
Laura who is more technical. So, I'm going to have to change my game plan 180 degrees."

But LaRosa understands injuries are unavoidable in this sport and is ready to adjust her focus in order to face her new challenger.

"You just take it as it comes. It's a five round title fight with an opponent who is much heavier and stronger, but I'm up for it. I can adapt."

The "Big O" Channels "The Dragon" on the
Next Episode of Bodog Fight
For Immediate Release
September 4, 2007

Like a lot of martial arts fans, 21-year-old Eben "The Big O" Oroz grew up idolizing legendary actor Bruce Lee in movies like Enter The Dragon and Fists
of Fury. So much so, he set out to become a professional fighter himself.

"My goal was to try and apply Lee's Jeet Kune Do system to mixed martial arts fighting," says the Floridian featherweight (4-1). "But first, I had to learn
Jeet Kune Do," (which translates to "the way of the intercepting fist").

Enter Sifu (instructor) Richie Carrion, founder of JKD-Extreme Martial Arts Academy, in West Palm Beach, Florida.

"He started by teaching me one of Lee's most important combat principles," says Oroz. "Namely, that simple done right has no counter."

However, with no prior martial arts training, Oroz found this difficult to digest at first.

"He kept telling me to have an empty mind, or as Lee once said an 'empty cup'. The thinking is that if your cup of knowledge
is empty you can always fill it back up, but if your cup is always full you cannot add to it. So, one should keep his cup or circle empty in order to keep
learning."

To remind himself of this philosophy, Oroz took the unusual step of having an enormous circle tattooed on his torso.

"It serves as a reminder to me, plus fans love chanting 'O' whenever I land a punch or kick in the ring," laughs Oroz.

This Tuesday, September 4 at 11 p.m. / 10 p.m. Central, Oroz fights Indiana's David "The Doctor" Love (7-5-1) on an all new episode of Bodog Fight: New
Jersey, airing on ION television in the U.S. and in Canada on The Fight Network.

Also featured on this episode of Bodog Fight: New Jersey is a heavyweight battle between Russia's Roman Zentsov (16-10) and "The Iron Lion" Branden Lee
Hinkle (14-7) of Ohio. Both fighters are hoping a victory will catapult them into a position to challenge for the vacant Bodog Fight heavyweight belt.


No secret as to the game plan for Zentsov, who rolls with the likes of Aleks and Fedor Emelianenko at the famed Russian Red Devil Sport Club. The hard-hitting
Russian will be looking to land bombs.

"Zentsov has some of the heaviest hands in the sport," says fellow heavyweight Josh Barnett. "His left hook has put more than
a few fighters to sleep."

But Hinkle, a newcomer to Bodog Fight, has never been knocked out and says he doesn't plan on tasting the canvas in this fight.

"I see me pounding him out and the ref stopping it at the end of the first round," says a confident Hinkle.

If it goes past the first round, the NCAA Division II Wrestling champion and U.S. National Free-Style All-American can certainly rely on sage advice from
his corner, where MMA pioneer Mark Coleman will be barking instructions.

"Mark and all the guys I work with at Team Hammer House in Columbus have really helped me take my game to the next level," says Hinkle. "I'm ready to roll."
