The Latest Happenings

HFC4 Results

If you were not in Indiana watching the local fights or at Excalibur in Chicago last Friday, you missed out on great MMA matchups.  We were over at the Gary Railcats Steelyard Stadium attending the Hoosier Fight Club 4: Showdown at the Steelyard event, and it was amazing.  From what we heard at the event, their next scheduled event will be on October 1, at the Star Plaza Theater in Merrilville, Indiana.

Interview with Joe Voitik with his fight against Carson Beebe

If you're a local MMA fan, then you have to know about people like Clay Guida, Miguel Torres, and even Chase Beebe.  If you're a local MMAniac, then you also know that Chase's brother Carson Beebe is fighting Joe "Jitsu" Voitik tonight at the Copernicus Center in the XFO 35 event.  From my assumption alone, I think people will be rooting for Beebe since he's blood related to the WEC bantamweight belt holder.  However, I wouldn't count Joe out just yet.  I had the chance to talk to him before his fight and he has come a long way.  He's been fighting in and out of state looking for the best competitors out there trying to get a name for himself.  He even took it to Puerto Rico to fight Discovey Channel's host Doug Anderson from Fight Quest.  Check our blog to see what Voitik is bringing to the table this time for his fight against Carson Beebe.

Naperville Fight Night

I'm here sitting cage side waiting for the fights to start.  FIghts are scheduled to start around 7:30 so it gives me some time to set up here.  We are going to have video up on the site about 48 hours after the event, but for those of you who can not wait that long, I will be blasting round after round in text as fast as I can.  Also, check out www.cutthroatmma.com for a live feed cage side.  Now you have no excuse why you didn't see or hear of the fights.  If you can't make it out tonight, you will be missing out on 14 great fights.  However, Chi-town MMAniacs will be keeping you in the loop.  Be sure to hit refresh every so often so you can read up on my lastest blasts.

Frankie Edgar beats BJ Penn for the Lightweight Championship

 Frankie Edgar beats BJ Penn for the Lightweight Championship. I know it’s not local Chicago MMA, but let me start my spin. So after watching Matt Hughes leg kick Renzo Gracie into a walking gumby (no disrespect, I would have folded by the first kick) and waiting for GSP to walk into the ring and tell Anderson Silva that he is not impressed by his performance (favorite MMA moment), I couldn’t help but think about Frankie Edgar from Jersey.

MMA True Fitness

True Fitness is the basis of the statement “No pain, no gain”.  To give a quick summary of the gym itself, it looks like a “Rocky” gym on steroids.  It has numerous tires that vary in size, climbing ropes, pull up bars, cinder blocks, a punching bag, and even the owner’s truck for your pushing and pulling needs.  It doesn’t sound like your “average” gym.  In fact, the place does not even have a treadmill.  However, you will get the hardest workout of your life with these guys.  This gym is not for the feint of heart; you need to be mentally prepared before you start a workout with them.  If you think you have what it takes, check out their website at www.mmatruefitness.com.

Chi-townMMAniacs

 
Who are we? What makes us different from other MMA sites? Why go to our site?
 
Simply put, we are two guys staying true to our name. We are sick of seeing other sites promoting local fights, but end up debating about the next UFC or WEC fight. Don’t get us wrong, we all love UFC, WEC, and other national venues. For most people, their introduction with MMA started with these events. However, there is so much more out there relating to MMA in our own neighborhood. This is where we stand.
