UFC Live Preview!

Stefan Struve will be living up to the nickname ai???Skyscraperai??? in his upcoming fight. At 6ai??i??11ai???, Struve is pretty much guaranteed to have the height and reach advantage. He will be using them against his next opponent Pat Barry, who is 5ai??i??11ai??? tall. With a one foot height difference, Stefan will try to keep Barry on the outside and look to employ his superb kickboxing skills. Struve is looking to rebound from his recent (T)KO loss to Travis Browne.

At the tender age of 23, Stefan is one of the youngest fighters in the UFC and has a great future ahead of him. Struve will look to learn from his recent loss and then take what he learned and move forward. With a 25-5 record already, there isnai??i??t much he hasnai??i??t encountered in the fight game, but he is preparing for anything. His opponent, Pat Barry, is a kickboxing powerhouse and loves to bang.

Struve will do his best to stay away from the brawl and instead use a crisp, clean striking technique. If the fight does go to the ground, Stephan has a great submission game and will look to use his long limbs to sink in a triangle or guillotine choke and put Pat to sleep. Struve is young, talented, experienced and hungry for a win. Look for Stefan to start out on the offensive and take it straight to Barry. Hayabusa is excited to partner with Stefan Struve and wishes him success in his upcoming fight.

Anthony ai???Rumbleai??? Johnson is one of the biggest fighters in the welterweight division.
At 6ai??i??2ai???, he is physically imposing, has devastating power and ridiculously fast hands. Johnson, for all of his size and power, is blindingly fast and accurate. Anthony is one of the most devastating strikers, with 6 wins by KO or TKO, and has a wrestling pedigree that helps him keep the fight where he wants it. His opponent, Charlie Brenneman, is riding the momentum of his last fight against Rick Story. ai???Rumbleai??? will have to be on top of his game and will need to use all his speed and power to counter the relentless attack of Brenneman. Johnson is poised to take the next step up the ladder towards the ultimate goal of UFC gold.

Anthony has the potential to be one of the greatest in the welterweight division and just needs to put all his skills together. We are proud that Anthony Johnson chooses Hayabusa and we look forward to another exciting fight. ai???Letai??i??s get ready for RUMBLE!ai???

Hayabusa would also like to wish Paul Sass and Raphael Oliveria success in their upcoming fights. Both fighters look to take the next step up the ladder in the stacked lightweight division. Hayabusa welcomes the opportunity to work with these lightweight fighters and we are looking forward to two amazing fights.

MMAFightwear.net As the Official Approved Distributor for Pro MMA, we have managed to get hold of a few pictures of one of the winners from the OMMAC 11 (Olympian Mixed Martial Arts Championships) last Saturday. As you know Pro MMA, was a cosponsor of this event, providing 4oz MMA Gloves and 7oz Sparring Gloves for the fighters on the night.

After his victory on Saturday, The MMA Academy Liverpool’s, Mike Wootten, caught up with Pro MMA to give his feedback on the gloves;

“The mma gloves… Sat (OMMAC 11 Sat 3rd Sept) was the first time I had used them on the weekend. I was initially a bit worried as all fighters like the gloves to be worn in and these were fresh out the packs. I used the L/XL ones as I knew my hands would be wrapped upai??i?? as soon as I slipped them on before the fight and started hitting pads then I loved them. They are so comfy and don’t require any breaking in. They felt great during the fight!”

Great feedback from a top a fighter on the UK amateur MMA scene giving testament to the Pro MMA Advanced Pro Series 7oz Sparring Gloves, Mike can be seen wearing the gloves in action in the selection of pictures with this post. More pictures from the night will follow soon, so watch this space!

UFC 132 -Ai?? Guillard Victory!

Hayabusa Sponsored Fighter Melvin Guillard notched up his fifth consecutive win with an impressive TKO Victory over Shane Roller at UFC 132 last weekend. Having ended two out of his last three fights in the first round, Guillard is living up to his to claim when he said, ai???…. I go in for the killai???!

Surely this win now edges the lightening quick New Orleans based fighter one step closer to a title shot in the UFC, the ambitious self confident Guillard certainly rates his chances and his stopping power against anyone he comes up against, quoting himself, ai???… Iai??i??m a finisher. Iai??i??m the No. 1 fighter in the UFC at lightweight, thatai??i??s a finisherai???.

With another explosive victory under his belt, how long will it be until he getai??i??s his title chance…
