The Good Fight: Tournament of Brotherly Love II in Philly March 20th

Visit the Good Fights website for details

Greensburg based Combative Grappling Systems has the formula for success.

 On March 5th, 2010 four members of Combative Grappling Systems traveled from Greensburg, Pa to the US Grappling Sub-Only event being held in Ashland, Va. Most of them had never competed in the No Time Limit / Submission Only format, and for one it would be his first tournament ever. The question of conditioning, skill and determination are all ones that competitors asks themselves. No time limits would put all of these to the most extreme test.

By the end of the day on March 6th, after the smoke had cleared, there would be no questioning the men from Team CGS. Their conditioning program was proven when Casey Leonard stepped onto the mat for his first match of the day, in the 30+ Advanced No-Gi Absolute. This would turn into a 1 hour and 3 minute battle with a highly experienced grappler who also had a 40lb weigh advantage. Casey went on to compete in 3 more divisions, spending about 2 hours on the mat in one day!

The Team CGS results are as follows.

Casey Leonard 

1st Place 30+  No-Gi Advanced 162-175lb Division

1st Place 30+ Blue belt 162-175lb Division

1st Place 30+ Blue belt Absolute

3rd Place 30+ No-Gi Advanced Absolute

Shaun Kelly

1st Place 30+ No-Gi Beginner 149-162lb

2nd Place 30+ White belt 135-162lb

Shawn Miller

1st Place No-Gi Beginner up to 135lb

3rd Place White belt up to 135lb

Jeremy Kosicek

1st Place No-Gi Intermediate 215lb and up

 

MMA Fighter Phil "Mr. Wonderful" Davis has signed a multi fight contract with the UFC.

State College, PA - December 17, 2009 - LionHeart Management and Zinkin Entertainment are proud to announce that MMA Fighter Phil "Mr. Wonderful" Davis has signed a multi fight contract with the UFC.  The date of his first fight in the UFC is not set, but is expected to be sometime in the near future.  Phil Davis, a former 4X Division I NCAA All American and 2008 NCAA Champion for Penn State is currently 4-0 as a professional fighter at light heavyweight and has been training full time since March 2008.  He currently splits training time between the Alliance Training Center in San Diego and with the American Kickboxing Academy (AKA) in San Jose, CA and will compete at light heavyweight for the UFC.   "I am extremely excited and happy to have this opportunity.  When I went to Penn State to wrestle in college my entire focus was to be the best wrestler in the country and to be an NCAA Champion.  After college, when I decided to start training MMA, it was to become the best fighter in the world.  Fighting for the UFC will enable me to do accomplish that goal.  Training and fighting is my life now and I take this very seriously.  Losing a wrestling match is one thing, but losing in life is not an option.  Since my freshman year in High School I have been dreaming of fighting for the UFC and for this to become a reality is awesome.  The UFC is the best fighting organization in the world and where I will achieve my goal of becoming a World Champion.  But being a part of the UFC will also enable me to accomplish another goal that I set for myself when I entered the world of professional fighting, and that was to be able to financially give back to inner city kids of Harrisburg, PA where I grew up.  I thank Dana White, Joe Silva and the UFC for giving me this opportunity."- Phil Davis    "We are very pleased to have Phil competing for the UFC.  For the last 22 months, he has worked very hard and dedicated his life to fighting and is now a very well rounded MMA fighter.  We feel that at this point in Phil's career he now has a very dangerous stand up game to go along with his world class wrestling skills that will help him make a serious run at the UFC light heavyweight title.  Phil also brings a very captivating and colorful personality that UFC fans will enjoy.  "Mr. Wonderful" is the complete package and we are confident that Phil will become an important asset to the UFC and has the potential to be the next big superstar in the world of MMA."- Chad Dubin, LionHeart Management
