Event Description
Team Fighting Championship debuted on GFL.TV with a bang as teams of five from all over the globe did battle inside a huge 40×40 ring at “TFC 3”. The reality of fighting changed forever in 1993 with the inaugural UFC event. TFC showed that in a team setting, many times with uneven odds, many of the styles and techniques that work well in traditional MMA are not effective and can actually put you at a disadvantage.

In the first bout of the night, Team Poland destroyed Team Russia. Team Poland finished off Russian with assisted armbars, 3 on 1 soccer kicks and more. Poland had the advantage as they came out as sprinters and looked to comes fast and furious while Russia took a more composed approach which cost them quickly as Poland came out like bats out of hell.

In the second bout, Team Brazil battled Team UK. This was both teams debut in TFC and it showed as they were tentative and didn’t look to use the rules of team fighting early on as each fighter peeled off with one opponent from the other team. There was a lot of spacing early on which allowed for true one on one competition until Team UK got the advantage. Team UK did a great job of keeping the fight standing as even when they had the odds in their favor they would rather team up with punches and kicks. It got to 5 on 1 and still the lone competitor for Team Brazil tried his best to fight back, but with 10 fists coming at him all at once, from Team UK, it was insurmountable odds. Team UK had a great showing on their debut outing.

In the third bout, Team USA (GPG NYC) fought Team Poland. This was the most strategic battle up to this point as it was a ground fight with the Americans using their top control and wrestling advantage to outdistance the team from Poland. Team USA got the first victory and then that fighter sprinted over to his teammates and unloaded with soccer kicks to the downed Polish fighters who were on the bottom. It quickly turned to 2 on 1 and 3 on 1, advantage Team USA and it was only a matter of time until the numbers game came into play and the remaining 2 fighters from Poland where defeated by soccer kicks, punches and more gang-land style beat downs.

In the fourth fight, Team UK battles Team Latvia. Team Latvia, the favorite of the tournament, strategically dissected Team UK as this was the most overmatched fight up to this point. Team Latvia finished in second place at “TFC 2” and showed why they have been so dominant in this form of combat sports as they used their size and strength advantage to quickly finish off the first two opponents from Team UK. After that, the writing was on the wall and Team Latvia steamrolled the remaining fighters of Team UK.

In the fifth contest, Team Russian battled Team USA (GPG NYC). USA quickly rushed Russia and put them on the defensive as several Russians gave up their backs on the ground and got RNC’d and GNP’d to oblivion. The big, aggressive, take no prisoners attitude of Team USA was the difference as they showed Russia no respect and just flattened them on the ground. The top game for USA was too strong and once they got the odds in their favor, the others from Russia quickly fell to the 2 on 1, or even 3 on 1 odds that were against them.

In the final bout of the night, to determine the “TFC 3” Champions, undefeated Team Latvia took on undefeated Team USA. Team Latvia came out on top in the wrestling exchanges as they ended up on top and quickly jumped out to a 5 to 4 lead with one finish. Latvia used their strength and weight advantage to get the lead and then the free agents from Latvia would go from fight to fight and pick off the remaining USA fighters. Latvia worked both submissions and striking as they got the advantage over Team USA and showed that they are the top Team Fighting country in TFC in this young, global sport that continues to grow with each event.

TFC has added a new element to the fastest growing sport in the world and team fighting in MMA is here to stay. Don’t miss this incredible sport and spectacle as fighters from around the globe go to battle as a team where the action is fast and furious with no time to rest. Don’t miss “TFC 3”.

gfl.tv – Former UFC champion Khabib Nurmagomedov was kicked off the plane by Frontier Airlines cabin crew. It went viral, and the airline responded.

https://x.com/Combat_Casuals/status/1878340040570384601?t=8sUUW5zQFCgetVuG105l-w&s=08

A video clip of Khabib Nurmagomedov went viral on social media. Former UFC lightweight champion Khabib was kicked off the plane after an argument with a flight attendant.

The flight attendant asked Khabib to get off the plane if he didn’t want to move seats, because she felt that another cabin crew member was uncomfortable. Khabib was known to be sitting in a seat near the emergency door.

Khabib admitted that he was ready to help the cabin crew to open the emergency door, if something unwanted happened. Khabib remained calm and refused to move, but finally ‘The Eagle’ obeyed the cabin crew’s words to get off the plane!

Through his social media, Khabib Nurmagomedov gave clarification. Khabib admitted that there was discrimination!

“First of all, I need to clarify that it was @flyfrontier not AlaskaAir,” he wrote.

“The lady (cabin crew-ed) came to me with very rude questions from the beginning, even though I speak English very well and can understand everything and agreed to help. She still insisted on getting me out of my seat. What was the basis for that, race, nationality or something else, I’m not sure,”

“But after 2 minutes of conversation, she called security and I was taken off this plane, after 1.5 hours I boarded another airline and left for my destination. I tried my best to stay calm and respectful as you can see in the video. But those crew members can do better next time and be nice to the passengers,” he concluded.

Frontier Airlines took turns to provide clarification. According to him, the viral footage was incomplete and still blamed Khabib for not wanting to help the cabin crew.

“On January 11, 2025, as Flight 4401 from Las Vegas to San Francisco prepared to depart, a flight attendant began her usual briefing asking for assistance from passengers in the emergency exit row. Passenger Khabib Nurmagomedov, seated there, was asked multiple times if he was willing and able to assist in the event of an emergency. According to the flight attendant, Nurmagomedov did not respond, despite repeated attempts, which would have put him out of compliance with FAA (Federal Aviation Administration) requirements. The flight attendant informed Nurmagomedov that he could be moved to another upgraded seat or exit the aircraft,” the statement read.

“The video circulating on social media platforms does not capture the full interaction, and instead shows subsequent interactions after the gate agent entered the aircraft and reiterated the choice to be seated again. Due to the passenger’s initial indifference and repeated refusal to change seats, he was asked to deplane in accordance with airline and FAA policy. The decision to deplane a customer was unrelated to his ethnicity and we have refunded him and his fellow travelers for their flights,” it wrote.

Frontier Airlines has been branded Islamophobic by netizens. After further investigation, it turns out that the airline is one of the most complained about airlines in the US due to discrimination and lateness.

Scott Sheeley and Iron Tiger Fight Series is set to go this weekend with a 16 bout card and broadcast live on GFL.tv.

IT Fight Series 40 main event will crown a new amateur heavyweight title holder when Paul Shough (3-1) takes on Cody Kelley (4-1) in the main event!

Kelly is coming off a great win over IT’s own Aaron Garrett last September at IT Fight Series 36 in Lima, Ohio. Kelley started his career at 3-0 before suffering his first lost against Lionel Woods in April of 2014. Kelley will be entering the IT cage for his 4th time and hasn’t tasted defeat yet in there.

Shough will be stepping in the cage Jan 30th to take the IT Fight Series belt home with him. This will not be far because he will be in his hometown of Bellefontaine, Ohio. Starting off his career Shough was defeated in his first fight in March of 2014. Shough would bounce back and real off 3 straight victories in a row including his last victory at IT Fight Series 38 in Dayton when he put away Justin Richwine quickly with a TKO.

Heavyweights will also throw down in the co-main event, as Justin Richwine (3-3) looks to bounce back from the loss to Shough against Connor Hina (3-2). All three of Richwine’s wins have come in under a minute, including a rear naked choke win over Mesmaran Sunseray at IT Fight Series 35 last September.

Hina returns to the cage for the first time since 2013, when he dropped a bout to Tyler Bostick in his last outing. A win here could set up a rematch against Isaac Hook, who called him out after topping Garrett at IT Fight Series 39 in December.

Also set to be in action ins 18-year-old Team Ascension product Anthony Romero (2-1), who welcomes Brian Shoffner (4-1) back to the cage after a layoff of almost six years. He last competed at UVC 9 in 2010, when he was submitted by Blane Bailey in the second round.

The women will also be in action, as Candy Hogsett (0-0) makes her debut against Megan Wallace (1-0).

Unbeaten welterweight “Platinum” Mike Perry headlines House of Fame’s third MMA event this Friday, July 10, live on GFL.tv

Undefeated welterweight aspires to be the “Floyd Mayweather of MMA”

By Dante Giannetta

“I’m going to walk right through him. I’m going to knock him out. He can’t survive my storm. My storm doesn’t stop,” says unbeaten welterweight (170 pounds) “Platinum” Mike Perry (2-0) who is certain his main event MMA fight against Preston Parsons will end in his favor at “House of Fame 3: Riverside Beatdown,” which will stream live on GFL.tv from Jacksonville, Fla. on Friday, July 10.

“I know what he wants to do is wrestle me,” Perry says with a calculated casualness. “[Parsons] is gonna want to ground and pound and submit me, but he’s dreamin’. He’s not gonna touch me.”

These words were spoken with a measured calmness which Perry later attributes to successfully overcoming anger management issues.

Although Perry is Friday night’s headliner, he feels no pressure about being in the spotlight.

“The bigger the show, the better I perform. If the fight were to go past the first round, I’ll just get more and more comfortable. If it goes into the later rounds, sure it’ll be exciting. But it’s just gonna be all me. I’m gonna find my range, and once I do, I’m gonna knock him out.”

‘Platinum,’ according to Perry, is a nickname that suits him perfectly.

“I’m so absorbent,” he explains. “It’s the most expensive and most desired thing in the world. You can’t hit me hard enough to hurt me – indestructible.”

He laughingly adds, “It’s like ‘Iron’ Mike Tyson, but twice the skill.”

And double the ambition. Platinum’s aspirations are inspired by another boxing great. “I want to be the Floyd Mayweather of MMA – go 40-0 and knock ‘em all out!”

With a 2-0 professional record, 38 more wins might seem like a stretch. But Perry is adamant and insists that he his still way ahead of his competition.

“No one has my physical ability. No one trains as hard as me. No one has the strength and speed I do. And look at my physique. I even have a national level bodybuilder’s body and I don’t even try. I don’t even lift weights. I lift people.”

According to Perry, lifting (and throwing) people is easier when he cuts weight. “When I was an amateur, I would bump up in weight and fight the bigger guys. Now I cut weight and when these little guys hit me it’s like a bug bite. I grab them and do whatever I want.”

For Perry, squashing bugs in the cage is all to serve God.

“I’m fighting for God. I want to be strong for Him. I want to be the general of His army. I want to train the angel soldiers to defeat the devil. I’m training for that now.”

Down the road, Platinum is sure he can make it into the UFC, although he admits he may not be ready for a world championship just yet.

“But I have all the tools to get me there,” he says.

“I’ll tell you what,” he continues, “I would like to do some work with Anthony Pettis. He’s a great fighter.”

But then, he warns, “Watch out for ‘Platinum’ Mike Perry on the rise.”

DiBella Entertainment (DBE) and New Legend Boxing have officially announced the co-promotional signings of one of New York’s most promising undefeated prospects. Junior lightweight Bryant “Peewee” Cruz (9-0, 5KO’s) has inked an exclusive promotional contract with the promotional outfits this week.

“I am thrilled to officially become part of the DBE and New Legend teams,” said Cruz. “I have had the opportunity to fight on cards staged by both of the promotional companies in the past, and to now officially be part of their roster is truly an honor. I want to thank my manager Kevin Crowley and trainer Ryan O’Leary for helping me get to this point. Like every fighter, my dream is to become world champion and I know this is the team that will give me that opportunity.”

A finalist at the 2012 National Golden Gloves, the Westchester County-native Cruz has quickly become one of the biggest draws in New York thanks in part to his backing by Westchester County’s most popular restaurant/bar chains (Mickey, Molly and Maggie Spillane’s). Cruz turned pro in December 2012 and fought eight times in his first full year as a pro. Cruz is coming off of his most impressive victory to date, a six-round unanimous decision in an absolute war over once-beaten Joshua Reyes. Cruz will be featured on DiBella Entertainment’s upcoming Broadway Boxing card on Thursday, April 10, at B.B. King Blues Club and Grill in NYC.
