BattleGrounds MMA Weigh-In Results TULSA, OK (Oct. 2, 2014) – All eight fighters made weight and drew their quarterfinal stage matchups one day before the highly-anticipated, one-night BattleGrounds MMA (www.battlegroundsones.com) welterweight (170 pounds) tournament that will award its winner a grand prize of $50,000 live on pay-per-view from the BOK Center in Tulsa, Okla. on Friday, October 3. The official weigh-in was co-hosted by WWE Hall of Fame broadcaster Jim Ross and retired UFC superstar Chael Sonnen, the duo that will call all of the live televised action in the cage tomorrow. Only one tournament contestant – submission expert Cody “AK Kid” McKenzie (15-4) of Spokane, Wash – needed a second try to make the required weight after he originally tipped the scales at 172.4 pounds. McKenzie will square off with Brock Larson (37-8) of Brainerd, Minn. Larson, a two-time, one-night tournament winner weighed in at an even 170 pounds. In the same tournament bracket, Joe Ray (11-3) of Sarasota, Fla. registered a weight of 169.6 pounds and drew Luigi “The Italian Tank” Fioravanti (24-11) of St. Louis, Mo. as his quarterfinal stage opponent. Fioravanti, a hard-punching protégé of retired kickboxing champion Jesse Finney, weighed in at 171 pounds. In the opposite tournament bracket, wrestling stylist Jesse “JT Money” Taylor (27-10) of Murrieta, Calif. came in at 170.2 pounds. Taylor drew Trey “That Just Happened?” Houston (11-2) of Bixby, Okla. Houston weighed in at 169.6 pounds. Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu ace Roan “Jucao” Carneiro (16-9) of Atlanta, Ga. will face off with 25-year-old finisher Randall “Buddy” Wallace (9-2) of Oakdale, Calif. Both fighters clocked in at 170.4 pounds. In the new co-main event, bantamweight (135 pounds) finisher and former NCAA Division I wrestling standout for Oklahoma State University, Tyler Shinn (6-2) of Stillwater, Okla., will square off with KO artist and rising star Chris “El Guapo” Gutierrez (4-1) of Greenville, Texas. The bout between Shinn and Gutierrez was elevated to co-main event status yesterday after Jonny Carson of Broken Arrow, Okla. withdrew from his scheduled co-main event matchup with Danny Navarro of Riverside, Calif. In Superfight action on the pay-per-view telecast, former Oklahoma State University All-American wrestler and undefeated featherweight (145 pounds) Mixed Martial Arts (MMA) upstart Jamal Parks (3-0) of Tulsa, Okla. will look to extend his perfect run in the cage in a Superfight with Ruben Warr (3-3) of Whittier, Calif.

Christopher Fance’s article about George Ballard’s interests and academic skill shows what an amazing young man he was with little formal education. Judith Ellis and Jenny Bruce’s findings following the receipt of some Griffith’s family archive papers, as previously reported, is a fascinating story – indeed a scandal.

Fifty years in the Northwest http://www.loc.gov/resource/lhbum.01070 Library of Congress At the age of nineteen years, I landed on the banks of the Upper Mississippi, pitching my tent at Prairie du Chien, then (1836) a military post known as Fort Crawford. I kept memoranda of my various changes, and many of the events transpiring. Subsequently, not, however, with any intention of publishing them in book form until 1876, when, reflecting that fifty years spent amidst the early and first white settlements, and continuing till the period of civilization and prosperity, itemized by an observer and participant in the stirring scenes and incidents depicted, might furnish material for an interesting volume, valuable to those who should come after me, I concluded to gather up the items and compile them in a convenient form.

    For Immediate Release: July 1, 2008 ULTIMATE FIGHTING CHAMPIONSHIP® UFC 89: BISPING vs. LEBEN MICHAEL "THE COUNT" BISPING vs. CHRIS "THE CRIPPLER" LEBEN LIVE FROM THE NATIONAL INDOOR ARENA, BIRMINGHAM, ENGLAND SATURDAY, OCT. 18, 2008 London, England (UK) - The Ultimate Fighting Championship® (UFC®) organization will storm into the British Midlands for the first time when UFC 89: BISPING vs. LEBEN touches down at the National Indoor Arena, Birmingham, on October 18. In a middleweight showdown, which has set mixed martial arts fans ablaze with anticipation, England’s own Michael ‘the Count’ Bisping will finally collide with Chris ‘the Crippler’ Leben. Two of the most explosively exciting strikers in the 185lbs division, Bisping and American Leben were originally set to face off in London at UFC 85 in June but, now, are set to do battle in Britain’s Second City. “This is one of the most exciting fights we could have made in the middleweight division,” said UFC President Dana White. “Bisping has looked a monster since dropping down to 185lbs, and he’s dominated Charles McCarthy and Jason Day inside a round already this year. And Leben is coming into UFC 89 with a ton of momentum, too, having just knocked out Terry Martin and Alessio Sakara; two of the biggest wins of his career.” White added, “That these two guys were willing to fight each other in London with six weeks’ notice shows you the kind of warriors they are. But now we will see this fight probably as it should have always happened, with both guys getting plenty of notice and coming in 100% ready for each other.” Tickets for UFC 89: BISPING vs.
