... Well, for a first time promotion this is a pretty good card. It'll be nice to see some of the hard hitting Pueblo guys getting to fight in front of their home crowd. |

... Vallore is on the poster but not the fight card? From what I've heard many fights could change. Eric could have three fights in one month! |
ChrisZacher
said:
 |
... I was wondering about that, and I just noticed the main event is a pro fight with one person having a 0-0 record? |
Dinstitute
said:
 |
... I think this is just an initial fight card with a lot of changes to come down the pipes. AT LEAST WE HAVE ONE! Unlike other promotions out there. I know that Keith Wilson was doing the matchmaking for this card, so that right there adds an aoura of credibility to the show. Keith is well respected in the fight community, so lets see how he does as a matchmaker. I'm looking forward to the Gabe Charbenou and Eric Faygas fight. |
ChrisZacher
said:
|
... yeah I agree eric, at least we can talk about it, bitch about it, discuss it, and look forward to it. |

... I thought for a 1st go the card looked pretty good. Agree we like to discuss cards. Kudos for releasing one and for gathering the talent to put there. |

... Fagyas's fight should be a good one. I am dissappointed to hear that his fight with Marcus Brimage in Alabama was changed and he is fighting someone else now. I hear Brimage had some Army Guard scheduling conflict....that would have been a doozy of a fight imo. |
ChrisZacher
said:
|
... I heard last night that Fagyas won, and so did Chilo. I am not sure about keith though. |
Big House
said:
|
... I heard that Fagyas won. Chilo won by arm-bar, and Keith lost 2-0 in overtime to the 2007 World Champion. |
ChrisZacher
said:
|
... oh kick ass, man there is a tourny in a few months in Denver that I want to compete in. Its good to hear that those guys' did so well.To bad for keith, but I am sure there are plenty more for him to win. |

... Who's this 'afterall' kid? I don't think he stands a chance vs Vellore...he's the endall.... Sorry, bad attempt at humor.... |
nasTY
said:
|
... from what I've heard, nothing for sure, but a pretty tough guy from denver, 8-2 or 8-3- just looking forward to seeing vallore in action again |
Vellore Caballero
said:

... Yeah guys. Fighting on the card for sure. Not sure on exactly who the opponent is, but I was told. I just forgot. I have tons of stuff goin on right now, and I'm definitely goin back to iraq in December, so wish me luck, both in my fights here, and the big fight over there. I don't mean to come off as cocky about not remembering the opponent, I really just forgot his name. I know that I hadn't heard of him and therefore I won't worry about him until he's across the ring from me. Thanks to my coaches and teammates for all of the blood, sweat, and tears they have poured into my training. I also owe a huge thanks for all of the love the fans and promoters have shown me over the years. Will do my best to give a good fight on the 31st. See you there. V |

... Keith lost in overtime, after an 8min 0-0 match with ruben charles cobrinha (check him out on youtube). Dude is sick finished everyone in the worlds in under 2 min, and the former world champ 14-0 in the fin. you get no better than cobrinha in sub grappling, keith's right there with him. I don't think people understand how good Keith Wilson really is. Drew Toolshed |

... Vellore has come a long way as a fighter and continues to grow inside and outside of the gym. It has been an honor to watch and be part of the transformation he has undertaken. Drew Toolshed |

... "anybody no anything about mike barreres?my bad on the name!" I've never heard of Barreres. It says Team Sanchez so I went to www.frankiesanchez.com, but he wasn't listed. |

... I wrestled with a guy named Mike Bareras in college in alamosa, the same town that Frankie taught boxing. I'm pretty sure its the same guy. He was a Division 2 national runner up and two time all-american. And boy does he love to fight. Pretty tough guy. |
Vellore Caballero
said:
|
... Hey, Sorry to disappoint anyone who actually gave a crap, but I'm not gonna be fighting on this one. Apparently the fighter backed out. I'll be fighting soon though, so keep an eye out. |

|
... sux to hear- was looking forward to seeing what sub you'd finish with this time, guess I'll just have to wait |
Dinstitute

... Vellore: Continue training, we look forward to seeing you fight at least a couple times before you go over to the big sandbox. |
kuya
said:
|
... sorry to hear bout your opponent vellore, that is one of the biggest dissapointments in this game when you train hard, diet, and set your frame of mind to the task at hand, then due to lack of discipline, dedication, or probably in this case, fear they dont show. look forward to seein ya trade hands soon. gabriel aka kuya. |
Vellore Caballero
said:
|
... Thanks everyone. And you are right......apparently its gonna be hard to find opponents for me and Eric right now. So I think that everyone knows what the next step almost has to be. Neither one of us was in a hurry to do it, as we both had areas that we wanted to improve on. Not giving any details, but don't be surprised if you see one, or both of us making our pro debut soon. Thanks again for all the support. Our team appreciates it, and I know that Eric and I definitely do. Coming soon to a pro-am card near you!!!! V |
nasTY
said:
|
... Any updates on the card? no vellore, rumor is no Tori but still Eric and our light heavy Owen from toolshed |
ChrisZacher
said:
|
... Tori vs haley would of been so pathetically one sided that it would of been sick. |
mrmusclemaker
said:
|
... I agree Chris... Like I said before Haley needs schooling. She needs a good bit more training or she will just get beat up again. Nothing against her. Just stating the obvious. |

... Well good luck to everyone that is fighting Aug 31st. Best of luck to my BROTHER MAN PRO fight.... Much love and respect in what he does. Being his only sister I can say that this guy puts it all on the mat or in this case the cage. |
nasTY
said:
|
... I didn't realize the fight card at the top had been updated. Great job keeping things current! Looking forward to some great fights |
Dinstitute
said:
|
... I want to thank Keith Wilson for getting our guy Joe Kaberlai on the card in the final hour. This is the first guy from the Defense Institute south that has been scheduled to fight. He's been working hard with Sensei Rob, Sensei Shale, and Sensei John down there and he should definitely put on a good show. Please make sure you go down and support us and all the teams of fighters. There needs to be a lot of energy in the room. |

... JUST SO EVERYONE KNOWS THESE ARE NOT PUEBLO'S FINEST MMA FIGHTERS,SO PLEASE DONT MISATKE THEM FOR THE FINEST. THEY MIGHT HAVE THE NADS TO GET INTO THE RING BUT MOST DEFINATLEY NOT THE FINEST IN PUEBLO. THESE ARE KIDS WHO WANT TO TRAIN TO BE TOUGH GUYS AND SAY THEY GET IN THE RING AND FIGHT(I KNOW 1/2 OF THEM)IF YOU WANT THE FINEST MMA FIGHTERS YOU NEED TO GO FIND THEM(THEY ARE OUT THERE USUALLY SILENT AND VERY DEADLY)I KNOW YOU WANT TO SELL TICKETS BUT SAYIN THE FINEST ARE FIGHTING IS A STRETCH AND COULD MAKE PUEBLO LOOK WEAK. THERE ARE SOME SICO'S IN P-TOWN TRUST ME AND THERE NOT ON THE FIGHT CARD THEY ALL BE IN THE STANDS TALKING SMACK. |
MMAbuzz
said:
|
... Well, I respect your comments Dibo about Pueblo's 'finest'. I just don't want your comment to take anything away from the fighters who have the courage to step in the ring (I don't). And hopefully the guys who fight (outside of the ring) take advantage of MMA and get in the ring and make some $$$ versus staying out of jail....(referring to Solomon Lee Chambers in Colorado Springs who recently murdered someone with one punch to the jaw.) |

... Sico, like I am going to take the word of some f**tard who types in caps like I am going to wince back like he is screaming. Who the f**k rights like that? MMA fighters are not deadly dip s**t, American NINJAs are. |

... now dibo... that wasnt very nice was it? ok, dibo may i kindly ask your real name and not your keyboard pseudo personality? Where do you train? ok, you want credentials? I was the first person EVER in this town to do mma, back when you probably still jerking off to the underwear section of the sears catalog. I am 16-2 overall, 6-2 mma. I have boxed, wrestled, done toughman, stickfought both wekaf, and nhb stickfighting, sub grappled and more. I currently train with the wbc superlightweight champion marvin cordova, I have been doing martial arts for 27 years, and training others for 15. I currrently train the sheriff swat, and have trained the military police at fort carson. so your turn to step up what are your credentials? i personally know every coach and instructor here and most would not conduct or condone your comments. by the way my name is gabriel charboneau, i am located at pwia 1530 w. 17th street if you would like to exchnge information and debate this further. everybody in this game loses at one point or another, very few go undefeated. Now, that said, I agree pueblo is a fighting town with a terrific fighting spirit. yes there are many tough and skilled guys out here waiting to be tapped for their talent. but as the only one for years with the balls to step in the ring, and hear the announcer say fighting out of pueblo, colorado.... i find your comments not very nice. |

... Now going back and reading dibo's post maybe he's just trolling. In the spirit of open-mindedness, I will state this. Bro, Im assuming that your a younger guys because of the friday name reference "dibo". I cant speak for the amercian championship guys, but I do know their instructor mike very well. Hes a very solid, very tough and skilled fighter (ive seen him in the street believe me) and he has a good reutation here, as for his fighters, It is most of their first time, so who knows, maybe they will surprise you. Manuel Gallardo is a highly regarded comabt athelete, and his brother whom i was in the army with mike is also a good competitor and classy guy Im sure he will come prepared to do what is necessary to put on a great show for the fans. Drew hershon,has some of the best standup and footwork ive ever seen, and is a phenom when it comes to conditioning, he has like.3 bodyfat. As for me, I highly regard Eric, hes a cool guy and a tough, tough fighter witha good record, but isnt that the aim, to shoot for the best fight possible? If your not aiming for number one, then your settling for number two, and that my friend has never been me. Im not one for talking trash, but will say that this is my town, and ive been doing this too long to give ANYTHING less than a 100% performance. Warriors, fight, thats what we do, to whatever end that means bro. see you at the fights. |

... I am a Pueblo fighter, and very very proud to be. I respect all comments on this site and try to be open minded in all aspects of what people say. That being said. I trained with Mike Zamarripa at American Champ. MMA and just know this...He is a bad a$$ mofo. Not to be taken lightly. Also, his training techniques are not for the average. The fighters from his camp are all first time fighters and should be given respect. Win or lose we are all brothers in some way or another, so instead of knocking them, we should be soluting them for there courage. Dean |

... I just have one thing to say Pueblo has a bad reputation, When it comes to having fights in our community. Please who ever attends this help remind others this is a sport lets keep the fights in the ring and not in the crowd, this will assist in us getting more fights and having more events like this, it also helps with fans of the sport being able to invite families with out worrying about the audience acting up. I know this is like preaching to the choir but I'm glad Pueblo is getting another event like this let's keep them coming. |

... Hey to everyone, Well Im not here to talk sh*t about anyone. Let me say this tho that what happen with manuel gallardo was the most wrong and most dispicable thing that BIG HOUSE did. Its not money and its not for show its something manuel puts his mind and body into with mma fighting. Believe me when I say this tho that manuel will still be AROUND. Much love to MANUEL and every other fighter that is in it for the fun !! |
Big House
said:

... Mauel is not on the card. We had a few missteps along the way. The first being the fault of my company - Big House - a formal, written, contract was never issued to Manuel and the other fighter. That led to a weight discrepancy at weigh-ins. The issue was given its due diligence to everyone involved including Keith Wilson and Frankie Sanchez. An agreement couldn't be reached. Both figthers were paid and the pro fight has been called off. I regret what happened. As the new kid on the block, I can attest that we will work through it for our next fights. I've spoken to both fighters and the situation is over. Lets move on. -Rob from Big House |
Big House

... No other problems worth mentioning...lol. We have eleven excellent match-ups with our Main Event now being Eric Fagyas vs. Gabe Charbaneao. |
MMAbuzz
said:

... Rob, I appreciate you being upfront about the issue with Manuel. I'm sure you are learning a lot with this being your first show. Being up front with issues and also publishing a fight card shows a lot. Looking forward to the show. Mike |

... I THINK THE STUPIDEST THING OF THIS WHOLE EVENT IS MAKING THE FIGHTERS PAY THERE OWN REG. FEE. THE FIGHTERS ARE WHAT MAKE THE SHOW. IT SHOULD BE PROMOTERS JOB TO TAKE CARE OF THAT. ALOT OF THESE FIGHTERS GET OUT THERE AND BUST THERE ASS FOR FREE. PRO OR AM THEY ALL NEED TO BE TAKIN CARE OF. |
Big House
said:
|
... I've taken care of everyone the best that I can. If you have a particular problem or situation...please come and meet me in person at the venue and I'll do my best to resolve it. I'm very easy to work with and as everyone will see tonight, I care a lot about everyone involved. |
mrmusclemaker
said:
|
... Battlegrounds are you refering to boxing comission fees? If you are I have to disagree. No offense but that is an anual liscence why a promoter would take care of that is beyond me |
MMAbuzz
said:
|
... I've heard the complaint about fighters paying their own registration fees a few times. Personally I don't think promoters should have to fork out that fee. I know promoters treat fighters as best as they can, some better than others. Fighters can (and do) get sponsors to take care of fees like that. I'm not saying it's east to get sponsors (I have a hard time myself) but talk to local businesses, get some sponsor shirts made up (princeofbattle.com) and help sponsors help you. If a fighter is really having a hard time getting that registration fee let me know, maybe I can help.....MAYBE..... |
haumana2000
said:
|
... Yeah I was a little confused by the fighters paying their own reg. fee, this is something the promotors generally do for the fighters. Any thoughts on this Rob? As for the Manuel Gallardo thing, It is one of those things that every fighter will face along the way, and one of the reasons I never went pro over the years, there is no real reason to for me. I generally get more from my sponsors as an amateur than the local pros make, though that fact is a little crappy. However, the situation was that both fighters came in at the weight that THEY EACH were told to come in at, but miscommunications will and do happen, its part of this game. So for the promotors, you did the honorable and forthcoming thing no worries, me and Eric im sure will live up to the billing and fight our asses off for the fans. Manuel, you did what was right for you and your family, their is no dishonor in that, much love and respect from me. To Mike, from Denver, bro you look like a tough and able competitor, the situation sucks just as much for you since you made the weight you were told to make, you look fit and ready to fight and I look forward to seein you kick some ass soon. OH, fyi though, I know franki hes a good guy, good coach and good competitor himself you have a good team. Word of advice, get rid of iggy from your camp because as you saw last night he's bad for you and your business and does not have a good reputation. I wish you and your guys the best bro. So off we march into battle tonight no looking back, and no regrets and most of all no excuses. Founder, Father, Fighter, and Warrior. They call me kuya. lata. |
ChrisZacher
said:
|
... Also as a promoter would you want to pay those fees to maybe see a fighter use them at another show? |
mrmusclemaker
said:
|
... Ya my point exactly Zach the liscence is an anual requirement. I just do not see it as a promoters responsibility. Good faith? Just to go above and beyond? Ya sure. But expecting it? not |
Dinstitute
said:

... Promoters are in this to make money. That's what it all boils down to. If it's not they're in it for then they are going to go broke. That means less shows and fights for everyone. Would you expect someone to pay for your licensing in any other business. NO The fees that are charged for a fighter are the cost of doing business. If you want to fight then that is what is required. Do you expect the promoters to pay for your HIV and HEP C tests as well? How about the cornermans fees? Why doesn't the promoter just cover training fees for a year? The fees are the responsibility of the fighter, or the team/school they fight out of. I myself as a school owner cover the fighters licensing fees as well as the corner fees for everyone involved. That's just standard business practice. I think others should follow suit. |
Dinstitute
said:
|
... On another note; Big Kudos for Rob from Big House Productions for getting on here and explaining the situation. That means a lot to a lot of people. This is more than you would see from other promotions, not to name any names, NO MERCY EXTREME FIGHTING! |
