Santiago Ponzzinibio logra su primera victoria en TUF Brasil


tuf_brazil_2_ep07-Luta07_TUFbr2013_IMG_3215

Por Juan Cárdenas

La segunda temporada de TUF Brasil se desarrolla en estos momentos y el argentino Santiago Ponzzinibio compite en el equipo Nogueira.

“El Rasta” tuvo al fin su primera pelea dentro de la casa de TUF contra el brasileño Marcio “Pedra, y las acciones no pasaron más allá del primer round, en una de las mejores peleas que se han visto hasta ahora en la temporada.

Fue hasta el séptimo episodio este pasado domingo que pudimos ver a Santiago entrar al Octágono, y con sólo dos peleas más para cerrar la primera round, el argentino logró una emocionante victoria y ya está en los cuartos de final junto con  otros tres miembros del equipo Nogueira y dos del equipo Werdum.

“Ya tenía muchas ganas, ¡ya quería pelear!, todo mundo peleaba y yo no, y la presión ahí dentro es muy dura” dice Santiago sobre el momento en el que al fin se dio su pelea contra Marcio “Pedra”, uno de los más difíciles competidores del equipo Werdum. “Él es uno de los más duros, muy buen jj, yo estaba contento porque sabía que ganándole tendría el respeto dentro de la casa. Además el otro equipo escogió la pelea, pero Minotauro también la quería, decía que él no aguantaría mi presión”

Su rival no era nada fácil, pero es justo como le gustan y desde siempre tuvo una buena estrategia. “Yo pude ver su pelea para entrar a la casa, él va para enfrente y ahoga al adversario acortando la distancia con ganchos. Pero eso no es garantía, yo tengo buen box, y ya lo esperaba para contragolpearlo, aunque iba para atrás lo hice de forma ofensiva trabajando las manos y esperando para cuando se presentara la ocasión buscar un KO o ganarle por puntos, depende como fuera la pelea”.

Sin embargo y a pesar de su excelente estrategia, esto es una pelea y muchas cosas pueden pasar, para lo cual Santiago tuvo que emplear ese extra necesario de todo peleador, sacar el corazón y la experiencia en el momento necesario.

“Me conectó un codo y caí pero me pude levantar rápido y entonces sabía que estaba perdiendo ese round y fui a ganar tanto el round como la pelea”, comenta ahora ya contento. “Fue una pelea dura pero me dejo contento y muy feliz. Estaba muy orgulloso porque él tuvo presión en mí y no desistí, ni de mi estrategia, hay muchos que al sentir la presión se pierden, y yo no, me mantuve, mostré bastante corazón”.

El corazón le bastó a Santiago para no perder en ese momento, pero debía ganar todavía, y eso hizo. “Cuando caí tuve una recuperación rápida, sabía que me tenía que parar, e ir con todo, yo había conectado golpes más limpios pero con ese knock down  ya él estaba al frente del round, iba a perder ese round y la presión es grande, ya tenía con eso el 50 de la pelea perdida porque acá dentro son sólo dos rounds. Así que me dije ‘Voy a respirar, tranquilízate, voy a levantarme y voy a lastimarlo para intentar ganar el round’. Y sentí que mis manos lo tocaron y me dio la oportunidad y ahí lo conecté para lograr el KO y ganar en el primer round”.

Minotauro se mostró muy contento y satisfecho con Santiago. “Para él ha sido la mejor pelea de la primera ronda, como también me dijo que la mía fue la mejor para entrar el programa”.

La temporada sigue y queda aún mucho por ver. Para más resultados, peleadores y ver los episodios completos fuera de Brasil vayan a www.tuf.tv

Miami Fla. – Jorge de la Noval, Owner of Championship Fighting Alliance (CFA) today officially announced that his Miami-based MMA organization has closed a deal with AXS TV and that his May 24th event “CFA 11” will be presented live on AXS TV as part of its Friday Night Fights series.

Said de la Noval, “We are honored to be in business with AXS TV and look forward to working with them to present “CFA 11” live to MMA fans across America on national television. The main event is a blockbuster heavyweight matchup between Dutch fighting legend Valentjin Overeem and veteran of the UFC and Strikeforce Mike Kyle.
“CFA 11” tickets are on sale now through Ticketmaster.com starting at $25.00 for general admission. Reserved seating is $35.00 (additional taxes and fees apply).
Valentjin Overeem (30-27) is considered one of the most talented heavyweight fighters in the world. Throughout his stellar career, he’s competed in major fighting organizations including PRIDE, K-1, Strikeforce, World Extreme Cagefighting, M-1 Global and is also a former Pancrase Champion. The brother of UFC heavyweight Alistair Overeem, Valentjin trains out of JACO Hybrid Training Center with the Blackzilians in Boca Raton, Fla.
“I’m training to knock my opponent out; this fight is not going to be decided by the judges,” said Overeem. “I have among the best strikers in the world, and the best wresters in the world here at JACO Hybrid Training Center. Together, we are going to beat Kyle and bring another win home to the Blackzllians.”
Mike Kyle (19-9) is also a veteran of Strikeforce and is the former King of the Cage Champion at light heavyweight. He fought at the highest level of MMA with the Ultimate Fighting Championship from 2004-2005, and during that period defeated James Irvin at UFC 51 with a first round knockout.
“I feel reborn and ready to fight, and I want to thank all of my fans that have supported me through my career,” said Kyle. “I think Valentjin Overeem is the perfect opponent to showcase my skills and give the fans a great main event.

“I am pleased to have Fallon Fox back in the CFA cage for this pivotal fight against Allanna Jones,” said de la Noval. “The winner of Fox vs. Jones will advance to the featherweight finals and the chance to become the new CFA 145-pound champion. This is going to be an exciting fight between two incredible fighters and that is what this sport, and this night is all about.”
“I am extremely excited about my next fight with Allanna Jones,” said Fox. “It will feel really good to step into the cage again on May 24th. I look forward to dealing with whatever Allanna will throw my way. It should be an fun, action-packed night for fans of MMA, Championship Fighting Alliance and everyone watching on AXS TV.”
“I’m thrilled to have this fight and this opportunity,” said Jones. “This is just another fight, and just another opponent for me. I am looking for the knockout and to make a statement on AXS TV and to advance to the finals to win that 145-pound CFA title.”
The 5’7” undefeated Fox (2-0) fights out of Midwest Training Center in Chicago. Both of her professional wins have come by first round knockout. She is also undefeated as an amateur (3-0) with all victories coming via submission.

  2. NO Salt in your diet (increases water retention)
  3. For seasoning use herbs, garlic and black pepper. (always read label to make sure they are 0% in everything)

  5. Use Pan or any other spray to cook (make sure is 0% in everything)
  6. I recommend a healthy breakfast. (5 egg whites, oatmeal (unflavored) made with water and maybe add a small amount of brown sugar (look for organic brown sugar, low in calories.
  7. try to have 5-6 meals per day, it will help to increase your metabolism
  8. since you are eating so ofter (every 3 hours) keep your portions small
  9. try to eat only white meats (chicken, tilapia, turkey)
  10. as much green veggies as possible.
  11. A lot of WATER
