Full card for Kudegra, Edinburgh – 18/09/10

Kudegra Championship Fighting’s inaugural event is coming to The Meadowbank Arena, Edinburgh, Scotland on Saturday 18^th September 2010.  12 of England’s top MMA fighters take on 12 of Scotland’s top MMA fighters in a battle to see which country can claim bragging rights.

All the Kudgra Championship Fighting fights have been hand picked by UFC Legend and UK MMA pioneer Ian ‘The Machine’ Freeman.

Main Event:

Andy Farrell ENGLAND – v – Allan Love SCOTLAND at Middleweight

With a solid background in BJJ and Judo, Andy Farrell (2-1), brings a wealth of experience to his MMA career.  A veteran of the fight game, Andy also runs the successful Farrell MMA, and the explosive grappler has a vast amount of experience ready to take on Scottish Middleweight Allan Love (7-1).  Former pro wrestler Allan Love has shot up through the ranks to take the Scottish No1 spot at Middleweight, and has big wins to his name including highly touted Englishman Rob Mills.  Allan’s stand-out wrestling has made him a fighter to be feared and he will be looking to keep the pressure on Farrell throughout this dynamic bout.

Paul Cook ENGLAND – v – James Mair SCOTLAND at Welterweight

Paul Cook (10-1) is a British titleholder with a strong brawling style and heavy hands, who likes to impose his will on his opponents and Ground & Pound his way to victory. After a ten-fight winning streak, Cook lost his first pro fight at TFC earlier this year to tough Scott Ward, getting caught in a tight triangle choke.  Now the man known as ‘Cookie’ looks to get back to his winning ways against the ever-dangerous James ‘Night’ Mair (8-4).  A strong wrestler with crisp stand-up and razor sharp elbows, former Middleweight Mair uses his non-stop style to ensure that his fights are always fast-paced and action-packed.  This fight is guaranteed to be explosive, and will be a sure-fire way for both men to see where they stand in the British Welterweight rankings.  Let the fireworks begin…

Alex Enlund ENGLAND – v – John Cullen SCOTLAND at Featherweight

Slick BJJ stylist Alex Enlund (4-0), is quickly making a name for himself as one of England’s top prospects.  With his fast-paced Ground & Pound style, an underrated stand-up game and an exceptional blend of catch wrestling and BJJ, Alex will be looking to break the top ten British Featherweight rankings with a victory over super Scot John Cullen.  A ruthless Thai boxer who brings everything from flying knees to spinning elbows, John Cullen (13-5), always arrives prepared for anything, but prefers to keep the fight on its feet and is known for his stand-up wars.  A quick hitter who has beaten some big names, Cullen is one of the most dangerous strikers in the division, and will bring everything in his arsenal as he attempts to topple the man challenging him for his top-ten spot.  An outstanding match-up that will have the crowd on their feet from start to finish.

Aaron Blackwell ENGLAND – v – Paul Reed SCOTLAND at Featherweight

Martial Arts star Aaron ‘The Saiyan’ Blackwell (7-8), has a wealth of experience in the fight game, including bouts in MMA, Thai boxing and K1.  Aaron narrowly missed out on a medal in the BJJ Pan-American Games, and the international fighter comes into this fight with the intention of finishing his opponent quickly and decisively. Paul Reed (14-5), is an aggressive boxer who has fought on the biggest shows in the UK, and is now looking to add Kudegra to the top of his list.  The Cage Rage veteran, trained by Leigh Remeidos, has nasty Ground & Pound and has been in the cage with the best the UK has to offer.  Paul comes into this fight looking to prove to his fans that he is worthy of his high ranking.

Chris Scott ENGLAND – v – Frank Bell SCOTLAND at Middleweight

Chris Scott (2-1), is a ground stylist and BJJ coach who trains pro fighters while not preparing for his own fights.  His slick style of BJJ, with a stint under Ground/Wrestling coach Warren Oliver and Thai tuition under Stu Baillie ensure, means that he will be ready to face local boy Frank Bell in Edinburgh.  Frank (0-2), is a tough all-round fighter who showed lots of promise in his semi-pro career.  Although he’s had a tough start to his pro career, both of his losses have been to top class opponents, including one at Heavyweight.  Frank will be looking to show his home crowd what Scottish fighters can bring to the Middleweight division in this great match-up.

Chris Holmes ENGLAND – v – Andy Hillhouse SCOTLAND at Heavyweight

Making his debut, the Ian Freeman protégé Chris Holmes is a regular training partner of Darren ‘Powerhouse’ Towler, and like all Team Machine fighters, we can expect Chris to be well versed at ground & pound.  Andy Hillhouse (1-4) is a tough brawler who likes to stand up and trade.  Fighting out of the superb Dinky Ninjas gym in Scotland, this fight is guaranteed to be a full-on war!

Ian Malone ENGLAND – v – Aldo Waugh SCOTLAND at Flyweight

A brown-belt BJJ coach who has trained in Japan with some of the world’s best, Ian Malone (3-1) has also had Thai boxing bouts, and is looking to prove that he is a top UK flyweight.  Don’t be fooled by the record – Aldo Waugh (0-3) is a ruthless stand-up fighter who is known for his toughness, and everyone who he faces will know they’ve been to war!

Will Brookes ENGLAND – v – Joe Nugent SCOTLAND at Welterweight

Will (2-3), a strong wrestler with slick BJJ skills, has had a bad start at pro but has won his last two.  Joe (3-5), a good BJJ fighter with a decent stand-up game, has been in with some top fighters.  He never stops, and makes a war of every fight.

Oobie Rahmand ENGLAND – v – Kieran McBride SCOTLAND at Bantamweight

Oobie (1-0) has fast hands and nasty leg kicks, and sets a furious pace in all his fights.  Kieran (1-1) is a well-rounded fighter who likes to trade.  His never-say-die attitude guarantees a ding-dong battle with Oobie!
