Intense Fighting Results











An unfortunate result maybe-but a truley awesome bout from the T.U.F.A's Iron man.

Exchanges between the two warriors, went clearly in Romans favour in the first round utilising a mixture of Knees elbows and punches in the clinch. Leading to a knockdown with a superb left hook connection. See photo's above.

Crowd trouble prevented a second round start for what seemed an eternity enabling Elliot to recover sufficiently to continue.

A slip after a heavy roundhouse kick in the second round led to BJJ specialist Lee Elliot capitalising with a keylock on our fallen hero, winning with a Tap Out. Better to tap than snap and put your fight career in jeopardy. Better luck next time Roman.

The night also saw MMA stars such as cockney geezer Brad 'one punch' Pickett highlight the evening winning with a superb upside down Triangle choke!














Brad is a true gentlman and his partners in crime 'Team Titan' were a good bunch of old boys. Thank you for your invite to train with you next time we are in town. Brad's website is http://onepunchpickett.com/

Blitz MMA Pro Star gloves


I've taken this opportunity to make a review on the new Blitz Pro star gloves.
I had a chance to wear some the other day and they feel very comfortable. Blitz, the sponsors of 'Cage Rage' are well known in the industry as retailers of all types of Traditional and Modern equipment for Martial artists. Whilst they do not pretend to be the 'Creme de la creme' in product, what they do have however is fantastic value for money.
My Blitz 'Firepower' gloves have lasted ages, albeit with a few scratches now, so with that in mind I set off to look at the new 'Pro Star' range.
So far I have only seen the two colour version- red and black. Hopefully the colours will not bleed too much this time (as do the Firepower's). Also the Pro Stars have the 'new' open palm version, combined with an open Thumb- which will keep my grip drier, and will make the gloves easier to clean, which is a must for maintaining good hygene.
They also have a wrap around velcro wrist fastening system as do most MMA gloves of this age, and are priced at a very reasonable £25.00 Inc VAT Plus P&P.
Anyone wishing to buy new gloves please or any other martial arts product please contact me on tearupfightacademy@yahoo.co.uk or call 07999064639.

November 11th Intense Fighting

Similar to 'Caged', I.F's 6th promotion event will be staged in an octagon, with a night of high class professional MMA and Muy Thai bouts, two of which are going to be title matches.

T.U.F.A's Roman 'Ironman' Webber, making main event of the evening is already showing fantastic conditioning and has done since his last win (against Samir Medjdeur of Total Dojo. 2nd round stoppage to G'n'P ). An insider source said 'Not only does he look in fantastic shape- he's showing some incredible stamina and endurance. Normally with people as muscular as Roman- they tend to burn out real quick, but he just overtakes everone in training like a 100mph frieght train and keeps on going till everyone packs up!'.

Maybe no surprise to some that the Academy's fitness training regeme standing testament to hard work and dedication from the students and Instructors alike.

Latest fight News:- A Grudge Match in the making?

The Promoters of Intense fight show are already in talks with the management of T.U.F.A. (Tear Up Fight Academy) shortly after the success of Roman ‘IronMan' Webber’s impressive win last Saturday, to fit the bill of ‘Main Event’.

Allegedly it would appear that Total Dojo fighters are looking to secure a re-match on the next Intense Fighting (I.F.) caged event with one of their Instructors ‘Lee Elliot’. For those who don’t know Lee, he holds a very impressive Shoot Fighting record that’s not to be sniffed at, as you would expect from the Total Dojo stable, coupled with MMA pro wins too.

TUFA’s Interest in ‘I.F.’ the event are prevalent, but ‘Angrrr Management’ and ‘Rough N’ Ready’ fight gym are holding events soon and are also in talks for the Ironman to fit the bill.

However questions are being asked over the weight class. At 93kg Roman Webber is bang on the money- whilst it would appear the ‘Elliot’ needs to make weight for the match. How much he needs to loose is unknown, but internet source ‘MMA universe’ shows him fighting in a 100kg weight division. With approximately 6 weeks to go until the event one would imagine 4 weeks could be spent cutting down to size, a tall order maybe? TUFA coaches are watching closely.

Other matches for other fighters are also available on the next bout.

If you are interested in fighting on the next caged at Intense Fighting event or would like training at Tear Up Fight Academy, please contact John Tomsett on 07753853061 or e-mail tearupfightacademy@yahoo.co.uk

INTENSE FIGHTING 5 CAGED



The Intense Fighting show 'Caged' hosted a massive event on Saturday evening in Peterborough on 19th August 2006. Hundreds of fans travelled for miles to see many warriors fight including the Tear up fight Academy's Roman 'Ironman' Webber who increased his fight record impressively to 1/1/0 (win/loss/draw).
A sellout crowd were certainly not dissapointed with the 12 fight line up, bout 9 of the evening turning out be be the contest of the night.
Typical proffesional MMA rules, like those in the UFC-pemit the use of elbows and knees to a downed opponent- something Samir Medjedula probably wished did not. Samir from Total Dojo Milton Keynes a fearsome MMA fighter with an impressive record and extensive training with the legendary Danny Batten (UK MMA Champion and veteran) put up a fantastic first round fight- really taking the fight to Webber.
Keeping his composure in first five minutes Roman overcome all of Samir's submission attempts and traded tit for tat strikes standing up and when grounded.
Round one even.
Staying relaxed Roman defended double leg take down attempts with an effective holding technique whilst reining blows elbows knees and fists down to his opponents kidney area.
A referee break in concern for Samir's wellbeing after close call elbow shots to the side of his head saw the to fighters stand up once again. Roman breaking down the man again after seeing the look in his eyes with the same defense from take down attempt as before, this time leading to both men scrapping all the way to the canvas- Samir taking the worst of Ground and Pound due to Webber trapping one arm and raining blows to his chin through the other making it impossible for him to defend.
After a approximately 15 seconds of heavy blows 'Ironman' won due to Referee stoppage.
