Congratulations to Frank Sharipov who brought home his first bantamweight victory in the G Force Promotions Bad Blood event in Miami last week. In his first fight at 135, Sharipov maintained control through all three rounds of the co-main event matchup, and defeated Haender “Cubita” Rodriguez (4-3), a highly respected and honorable contender. Sharipov seemed to have found his niche in his drop to 135, and we expect many more exciting fights to come in the bantamweight division.

Eric Reynolds (9-0) was handed his first loss in the second of the main event fights at the hands of Luis Palomino in a knockout at 38 seconds in the first round. Retired basketball player Glen Rice, the founder of G Force Promotions, was on hand and expressed great excitement regarding the event’s turnout and the great night of matchups in the promotion company’s first MMA event.

This coming Thursday November 6th Frank Sharipov is scheduled to fight the renowned Haender “Cubita” Rodriguez. Frank will be making his debut at 135lbs and taking on a very game competitor.The fights will be held thursday night in the Miami area, for tickets and info visit www.gforcefights.com

Mikey Gomez will Fight Oct 4th

Frank Sharipov had one of the best fights of his career on Sept 13th. He faced the very talented Shah “Hollywood” Babonis in his sixth career fight. Frank won by a dominating unanimous descion. Frank’s indominable spirit and takedowns proved to be too much for Babonis. Frank was the smaller of the two, but Frank controlled his tough and overwhelmed opponent with great ground control and a good combination of punches and elbows. With Franks speed, excellent standup to take down transitions, and great gound control, Frank is showing that he is a force to be reckoned with at 145 lbs.

Paragon MMA would like to thank the Xtreme Fighting Championship organization for another great night of fights. The XFC continues to pull in crowds of more than 10,000 while giving special tribute to the men and women who defend our nation.

A special thanks goes out to 24sevenmagazine, Fourty Seven Clothing and the rest of our sponsors for helping us make fights happen and get the word out.

Team Paragon was at the Cage Supremacy event in Sarasota, FL on the 6th of September. One of the best matchups of the night was between Frank Sharipov (3-2) of Paragon MMA and Ralph Acosta (3-1), with Acosta coming out on top in a close decision after three exciting rounds that showcased both fighters’ endurance and talent on the ground. Sharipov and Acosta are certainly two of the best in their weight class, and will likely face each other again as their careers continue to grow.

Cage Supremacy was the inaugural event for Atomic Enterprises and had a full nine-bout card of great matchups and tough competition. Atomic Enterprises brought in several local fighters as well as some from across the state of Florida and into Georgia. Besides a night of great fights, the crowd also had a chance to see and meet some celebrity talent with both the Ultimate Fighter’s upcoming superstart Ben Saunders and local heavyweight boxer, China Smith, in attendance.

Look for more great fights in the upcoming XFC on September 13th. The Extreme Fighting Championships will be hosting four of Paragon MMA’s fighters.
