Kickdown 45: Season's Beatings II
kd45.jpg

The 45th show of the Denver, Colorado based Kick Down Mixed Martial Arts promotion will feature the return of Bryant Craven. Craven won the Kick Down Welterweight Professional MMA title in his 2nd Kick Down appearance. He will make his first title defense against Max Smith. Smith is 4-1 and has a wrestling and striking background which should make for an interesting bout. In what could be highlighted as the amateur fight of the year in the promotion Nathan Gates will defend his amateur Kick Down lightweight title in a much anticipated bout with one of the great strikers in the region in undefeated Prentice Ingram. There will be up to two women's bouts. One in Kick Boxing and one in MMA.  Titles on the line and the season finale always includes the awards for Kick Down professional and amateur fighters of the year. This show will take place at the Fat City Events Center located at Coal Mine Road and Kipling in Littleton, Colorado. The Kick Down will end 6 years of doing business in MMA and Kick Boxing dating back to February 2002. The Denver based promotion is known in the region for development of amateur fighters making a name for themselves and turning professional, working their way into other local and regional promotions.

This will be a test of new market area and demographic for the Kick Down promotion as the Fat City facility is a 144,000 square foot center which features a 20 lane bowling alley, miniature golf,kids games and arcades, and a skating rink which they convert into an event center. It is located at Coal Mine Road and Kipling and if full it would seat close to 3000. We love the Red Lion and it's intimate setting and convenience but the people at Fat City actually made contact with us and after close to 5 months of hearing their requests we decided to try it out. The fight card will be good and there are now 8 screens with which to view the event as it is happening. Other than the location the show will be much the same. Honors for Pro, Amateur, and Womens fighter of the year in the Kick Down will be awarded as we close out 6 years in the business. Hope to see everyone there and get their opinions on the place if you have not seen it before. Steve Alley-Kick Down

I'm not sure what the deal is but the female fighters (kickboxing and mma) have definitely stepped up their game recently. I've been very impressed with the female fights I've seen recently (including Dia's last fight versus Blanchard). Lookin forward to seeing a lot more down the road.

Yes but have you seen Kate Martinez, Louise johnson, Dia Csay, Kim Blanchard, Lavita Givan? They can fight and it does go away from the stereotype that women that fight are not attractive because these and many others look good, they are intelligent, and they can fight. The formula for having women fight has always worked for the Kick Down promotion and it will continue. Did I mention how much I like the comments on the board here. Always good to see people throwin out constructive stuff here.

yeah, I will be honest, it kind of bothers me, and gets on my nerves hearing about how hot chicks are and yada yada. I rather see a chick who isn't super hot who knows how to fight, rather then some chick who thinks she can fight and is hot, get her ass kicked. I mean if they are both fine, but just how everyone was talking to that Daneill chick after and before her fight was really annoying, and something i hope local MMa fans can get over doing.

I know right, when would you think I would ever say chicks needed to be treated fair..huh? But thats how I feel.

Chris I apologize for noticing a female is hot... Dude! NOT! You think woman don't notice if a guy fighter is hot? LOL
They call it nature! And btw all the fighters Steve named are cuties, and can hand someone their ass if they want to. I think that is awesome. And if a woman is not hot and a monster that is great. There are plenty of ugly guy fighters. Right Drew?

naw, muscle, lol, I know they are hot, look all you want, but you don't hear chicks coming on here going "hey i would marry you and show you some stuff" and comments like that. yeah if she is appealing, s**t I agree, but I am saying some people go to far. It's just kind of like, i dunno, i liek my MMA and sex seprate, if that makes sense.

Dude that hat was bad ass but Brian took it to another level... I think that we fortunate to have such beautiful women in the sport however when it comes down to it it really doesnt matter as long as your there to fight. And Chris I know what you mean about Danette and her acting like she was gods gift to the women mma fight world. like I said before shes bad for the sport. But i dont let that influence my outlook on women mma at all. I think they have an equal part and with them the sport wouldnt be the same. And I dont mean that in a sassage fest way either........lol
November 29, 2007

ChrisZacher said:

well what i meant with Dannette was how dudes were all being retarded about s**t, saying how they thought she was hot, or how they wanted to marry her.

I wasn't implying anything about her, just about how dudes were acting like they have never seen a chick before.

anyone 130 to 140 am or pro. Prefer amatuer as Louise is 3-1 but of those victories only 1 has a winning record of 2-0 and that is her only defeat. Fighter would have to have bloodwork and so on. Like I said before I have never publicly requested help with a fight but with the women it is much different..............hard to find.

You can always count on Steve to put good lookin' girls in the ring! My favorites are Louise and Dia but there have been MANY more. In fact, it's very rare for the opposite. I think we guys just have a thing for girls who train and fight, lol.

This should be a fun event!

are we supposed to count on promoters putting chicks in who are hot? or chicks in who are skilled and may be hot too?
December 06, 2007

MMAbuzz said:

...
I think promoters are putting chicks in who are skilled, them being hot is just as added bonus.

I don't know that a promoter says, 'hmmm, who should I match up against Sally? Well Amy is pretty hot...but Carol is hotter.'

You have to celebrate the fact that Colorado has some fine looking women fighters. Hell, you would be bithing if the chicks were dead ugly and fighting, so why not embrace them for being good fighters AND good looking?

STOP HATING ON US BEAUTIFUL PEOPLE!!

Stop hating on us beautiful people... I actually laughed out loud.
I agree we have the added bonus of having skilled ladies that are also pleasing to look at. Reality is looks have always played a part in combat sports when it comes to popularity and marketability. Cold hard fact. Pretty sells better than ugly. Endorsements come to successful athletes. More and more lucrative endorsements come to good looking successful athletes. It is what it is ..

Since we are STILL having server issues I will post here. Many thanks to ALL that were part of the Kick Down 45 show last night. Got a little ugly with the horrible weather but the show would have been worthy to have had several thousand there instead of a few hundred. What an incredible night. 11 bouts 5 went to decision and the two fights of the night were Louise Johnson who was basically getting dominated right up until the 2:24 mark of R3 and sunk in a slick triangle and won the 1st ever womens MMA title at the Kick Down. Nathan Gates and Prentice Ingram duked it out and it was Ingram who won a unan dec and became the new LW am Kick Down champion with 3 spinning side kicks that were some of the best timed and placed seen in a long time-awesome. Brynat Craven retained his Welterweight Pro title belt with a 1st round victory over Max Smith. Congratulations to ALL of the fighters and thanks to the fans. Wish more could have seen it but it is still all good. Look for the full writie up by JR Gordon. Steve Alley Kick Down promoter
