- James Irvin -Still StandingThomas Gerbasi, UFC - For years before they even made it to the big shows, my buddy and colleague Jason Probst always told me about James Irvin, Scott Smith, and Urijah Faber - a trio of friends and training partners from Northern California that he insisted had the right stuff to make it big in the still growing sport of mixed martial arts. Irvin, now a UFC […]
- Paul Buentello The Headhunter Sharpens His ToolsThomas Gerbasi, UFC - Paul Buentello is old-school, in the Octagon and in life. So the idea of uprooting himself and retooling his game after 36 fights and nearly 13 years in the pro game wasn't exactly embraced with open arms. […]
- Reinventing Eliot Marshall, a Fight at a TimeThomas Gerbasi, UFC - It may have been the greatest compliment a fighter could receive. When talking about his loss to Eliot Marshall last September, Jason Brilz admitted to being totally surprised at how Marshall went from ground wizard to stick and move artist, leaving the veteran out of sorts as he dropped a three round unanimous decision at UFC 103. […]
- Gabriel Gonzaga Energized for Another Title RunMartins Denis, UFC - Seconds prior to Gabriel 'Napao' Gonzaga's most recent fight against Chris 'The Crowbar' Tuchscherer last August at UFC 102, blow-by-blow commentator Mike Goldberg asked the question that everybody wanted to know before the two touched gloves. […]
- The Blueprint: Vera vs JonesMichael DiSanto, UFC - Succinctly stated, Brandon Vera versus Jon Jones is going to be one heck of a scrap. Vera is a guy who likes to fight on the feet with calculated pressure, picking his spots from the outside as he breaks down an opponent with long-range punches and some of the best leg kicks in the business. He is also excellent in the clinch with bot […]
- Jason Brilz Ready to Rumble in ColoradoThomas Gerbasi, UFC - When Jason Brilz dropped a three round unanimous decision to Eliot Marshall last September in Dallas, it wasn't losing for the first time since 2001 that baffled the light heavyweight up and comer, it was the way things played out at American Airlines Center, as Marshall, a Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu black belt, kept matters standing thro […]
- Brendan Schaub Chapter TwoThomas Gerbasi, UFC - Things couldn't have been going better for Brendan Schaub on December 5, 2009. The unbeaten heavyweight prospect was boxing well, tagging his veteran opponent Roy Nelson with shots and even showing off some good ground defense as he escaped the veteran's side control position with ease. He even ate a couple flush shots from […]
- Daniel Roberts Jumping into the Welterweight Fray this SundayThomas Gerbasi, UFC - The walk into the Octagon. For some, the trek up those final four steps presents ample time to panic; for others, it's a signal that it's time to perform. For Daniel 'Ninja' Roberts, it's when he flips the switch from nice guy to fighter, and by the time he steps through the doorway, he's not walking into c […]
- Wherever the Fight goes, Junior Dos Santos is ready for itMartins Denis, UFC - Despite being in a whirlwind since his UFC debut, Brazilian knockout artist Junior "Cigano" dos Santos still has an amazing recall of all the dates and important happenings in his life that he can pull out at a moment's notice. […]
- Morango Hungry for His First UFC VictoryMartins Denis, UFC - Brazil's Fabricio 'Morango' Camoes is going to make his second Octagon appearance on March 27th against ultra-talented Kurt 'Batman' Pellegrino at UFC 111 in Newark, New Jersey. The lightweight match has the same implications for Camoes as when he arrived in the UFC last November to face Caol Uno, but without the […]

DATELINE: BELLINGHAM, FRANKLIN, MIDDLEBORO, MA, BUZZARD’S BAY, BOURNE,
COVENTRY, RI -
Two local Mixed Martial Arts champions each won in their weight class
recently at the Reality Fighting competition in Plymouth, MA.
In the Welterweight Title Match, Mike Campbell, a 25-year-old from Franklin,
MA, retained the title with a first round knock out over Tim Pinney.
Campbell fights at 5′9″, 170 lbs. He graduated from Coventry High School in
Rhode Island. While in high school, his dream was to play college football.
It was dream he shared with his father. After his father passed away from a
heroin overdose in 2001, Campbell put aside his football plans, as it was a
passion they had always shared together. “My dad and I both loved football
and we shared the passion for the game and for me playing. When he passed
away, I didn’t want to play anymore.”
Being no stranger to competition, and missing playing sports, Campbell was
inspired to try power lifting. He represented the US as a power lifter at
the Power Lifting World Championships when he was 22-years-old. From there,
Campbell found Mixed Martial Arts training at USMMA. As a professional MMA
fighter, he has built a solid career path for himself with a 5-0 record that
includes 3 KO’s. He holds a local title belt for the 170 lb. welterweight
division.
He is just getting started. Campbell was chosen as the feature fighter on
the reality show “Tapout” on the Versus Network. The “Tapout” crew has been
following Campbell and watching his training and fights that will be
featured on an upcoming episode that documents their quest for the best up
and coming Mixed Martial Arts fighters in the United States. “It has been
kind of weird having them follow me around, but I know that this will help
take me to the next level in my career as a fighter,” said Campbell. The
episode will air in September.
Campbell also trains with Hafers and Phinney at the USMMA facility in
Bellingham, MA. “They always come up with a great game plan and it always
works!” he said. “Tom and Matt are there for me 100 percent. They have
helped me to develop, not only as a fighter, but as and individual, as
well,” he added.
Also retaining a Championship Title that evening was Greg Rebello of
Middleboro, MA. Rebello fights in the Light-Heavyweight division at 6 feet,
205 pounds. Rebello won the fight 4 minutes and 10 seconds into the first
round with a technical knock out to Eric Brown. It was a huge win for
Rebello as Brown had been his first and only loss to date. “This win was a
big stepping stone for me. I moved up in the rankings, but winning was
better than the rankings. A main goal of mine was achieved with this win!”
said Rebello.
Originally from Buzzards Bay, Rebello graduated in 2000 from Bourne High
School where he played football and hockey. He currently trains full-time
at USMMA putting in 25-30 hours a week of mixed martial arts, wresting,
boxing and strength and conditioning. “I love it! I have a new outlook on
training and my confidence is much stronger than it was three years ago,” he
said. “My coaches at USMMA have taught me to be in great shape and that is
what makes the difference in the fight. If you get tired first, you’ll
lose,” said Rebello. “The motto at USMMA is ‘Make Your Best Weapon Your
Cardio” and that has worked for me.” he added.
The United States Mixed Martial Arts Training Center, located on Hartford
Avenue in Bellingham, focuses on elevating the physical and spiritual well
being of students through Mixed Martial Arts and Yoga. This is accomplished
through a four-pronged approach to reality self-defense training centered in
total body wellness.
The state of the art, 4,000-square foot training facility is complete with a
2,000-square foot padded MMA training floor equipped with heavy bags and
conditioning equipment, a 15 hundred-square foot yoga studio, locker rooms,
showers, a retail store and a juice bar. USMMA also conducts kid’s programs
including birthday parties, hip-hop classes and summer camps. To contact
USMMA, call 508-966-5006 or visit their website at www.usmma.org.
