The Fillmore Auditorium brings back reality fighting after 8 years !

RUMBLE IN THE ROCKIES

Millennium Sport Fighting has just finished up negotiations with the Fillmore Auditorium in Denver, Colorado. After eight years since the UFC introduced Colorado to reality fighting, the Fillmore will open their doors January 26th for the return of mixed martial arts, and host the "Rumble in the Rockies" produced by Derek Amato and Millennium Sport Fighting. This will be the fourth show to date produced by Derek Amato and Millennium Sport Fighting. The card is very appealing and should produce a great night of MMA action. The superfight will feature two time Ultimate Fighting Championship veteran Brad Gumm against Benji Radach from Dennis"Superman"Hallman's camp out of Washington. Radach has made some noise recently as he continues to plow through opponents by knocking them out. This will be a very exciting match and we hope to increase the possibilities for both fighters to be recognized for advancement with other organizations. Eric Payne will also make his return to the ring after a short absence and will be the featured in the co-main event with an opponent to be announced. Local favorite Jake "Thunder" Hattan will be fighting in the feature 155 lb division. The event has twelve fights scheduled with a very strong possibility of adding one more fight to the card. Athletes competing will be: "Pretty Boy" Floyd Edwards, Brett "The Wreckin Ball" Shafer, York Ash, Joe Wilk, Danny Jung, Canada's Sheldon LaAbee, Marc-Andre Drolet, Chuck Parmelee, Lorn Estes, Ernest Bell, Ben Cross, Greg Loebel, Chris Guillian, Richard Rosas, Brett Adams, Charlie "The native warrior" Dearborn, Tony Zamorra, Grady Hurley, Paul Gardner, and Dustin"Mighty"Moe.

Team Akumu Shines in Colorado

4/08/01
Promoter Troy Miller hosted the Kickboxing and NHB Championships in Grand Junction, Colorado on March 31st. Jake "Thunder" Hattan VS Charlie Mann. Jake fights for Team Akumu in Colorado and Charlie Mann out of the Walt Bayless school in Utah. The fight started with an exchange of blows and a clinch with both fighters throwing and landing knees to the face. Hattan caught Mann in an ankle lock, the ankle popped and Hattan let go due to a possible broken ankle. Mann recovered and the fight went back to standing position. Hattan lands an uppercut that staggers Mann and then throws a right round kick to the face of Mann for a knockout. Mann was taken to the hospital for a compound broken nose, and later returned to the event in good spirits. Both fighters exchanged positive words after the fight. Jake is excited after this win and is very much ready for upcoming fight with York Ash of Utah.

Approximate Attendance: 1000
Referee: Justin Ellison
Judges: Jennifer Howe, Master Kim Yee, Devon Thorn
All bouts sanctioned by the Colorado State Boxing Commission, representative Josef Mason in attendance.


The Night of Thunder kicked off what looks to be a very successful promotion by D'Amato Full Contact Promotions. Despite some very late card changes, due to fighters pulling out, the show ran smoothly, and the packed house of nearly 1000 people were treated to some great kickboxing and mixed martial arts fights.

Starting off the evening was the first semifinal in the under-175 kickboxing tournament. This bout pitted Scott "The Grimm Reaper" Grimm against Todd Wall. Grimm grabbed the interest of the crowd as soon as he removed his shirt, revealing a huge full-back tattoo of the grim reaper. Grimm worked methodically throughout the fight, taking apart Wall piece by piece. In the early going, Wall hung tough, landing a few good punches and a couple of solid spinning back fists. Grimm was unscathed though, and kept coming forward and throwing combinations. As the match progressed, Wall's hands started to drop. Wall looked exhausted, and Grimm took advantage. Grimm finished the fight with a strong flurry of punches against the ropes. Referee Justin Ellison had seen enough and called a halt to the bout late in the third, awarding Grimm the victory by TKO.

The second semifinal in the lightweight kickboxing tournament featured young Texas sensation Tommy Alcozer Jr. versus Graciano Bosurto. Alcozer is a Texas Golden Gloves boxing champion, and showed his strong punching throughout the bout. Bosurto had an answer for everything Alcozer had to offer. Alcozer's kicks were not his strong point, but he was forced to throw them due to the rules, requiring at least 5 attempted kicks per round. Bosurto would take Alcozer's kicks and deliver his own, stronger kicks in return. The fight was very close and wound up going to the judges. Either fighter could have come out the winner, but on this night, the judges awarded the victory to Graciano Bosurto. This set up the finals of the tournament, between Bosurto and Scott Grimm.

The first MMA fight on the card was perhaps one of the most anticipated fights outside of the main event. Colorado native Cruz "The Saint" Chacon was set to take on the strong Idahoan, "Relentless" Ray Perales. Chacon is a solid Muay Thai fighter with a decent amount of ground experience. Perales represents the Primal Tribe fighting club and brings a more brawler-type fighting style into the ring. These two would not disappoint the fans. After exchanging some punches standing, the two clinched. Cruz landed a few good knees to the legs and body as Perales tried unsuccessfully for a leg trip. Eventually, Chacon got the takedown and ended in Perales' guard. Chacon landed a few good punches from here, but for the most part, Perales was able to defend well. In round 2, Chacon started a relentless assault of leg kicks. Outside of Pedro Rizzo, I haven't seen many kicks that were as crisp, accurate, or damaging as Chacon's. After just a couple kicks, Perales started attempting takedowns, but never could get it to the ground. This continued for the next three rounds. In the fourth round, Chacon landed a BRUTAL leg kick that dropped Perales. Seizing the opportunity, Chacon jumped on Perales and ended up in the mount. Chacon continued to strike until the referee stopped the bout. The crowd was going wild. This fight alone was worth the price of admission.

Next up was a kickboxing super fight between Brett Shafer and Rick Crosely. This was a back and forth battle with both fighters landing good kicks and punches. At one point, Shafer was cut on the chin from an accidental knee (knees to the head were illegal), and this seemed to light a fire under him. Shafer finished very strong against a tiring Crosely and was awarded the decision.

The next MMA bout featured Dustin "Mighty" Moe, out of the Primal Tribe camp in Boise, Idaho, versus Brian Beebe of the Ogden Fighting Alliance in Ogden, Utah. Despite about a 10 pound weight disadvantage, Moe was game. He stated before the fight that he will fight anyone, regardless of size. The fight started and they went right to work. Moe, a wrestler, attempted a takedown, but was unseccessful. Shortly thereafter, the fight went to the ground with Beebe mounted on Moe. Beebe attempted an arm bar and just barely missed it. Moe was now in Beebe's guard, working his strikes. Beebe methodically worked to trap Beebe's arm, and after a minute locked on a triangle choke. Beebe applied pressure as Moe tried to defend. After a some resistence, Moe tapped. Beebe came into this fight looking very strong and in good shape. Moe is known to pack a powerful punch. Beebe didn't even give him a chance to unload.

Just before the intermission, the fans were treated to an interesting show by a young Denver child. 11 year old Joshua Durbin, a national standout in karate and forms, put on a spectacular display of forms and weaponry. The crowd really got a kick out of it, and the kid was loving it. This was a nice break in the action that kept the fans going. Young Joshua was the center of attention during intermission, signing autographs and taking pictures for everyone.

The under-175 kickboxing final was up next after the break. Scott "The Grimm Reaper would take on Graciano Bosurto. This was a very good fight between two warriors. Both men won hard fought battles earlier in the evening, and both were battered going into the finals. Nonetheless, they still put on a hell of a show for the fans. Grimm was just the better man on this day. Bosurto showed tremendous heart, fighting till the very end, despite looking so tired. Grimm took control in round one, landing some solid punch combinations. Bosurto was on the defensive most of the round. In the second round, Bosurto became more active and landed a few good shots. I had the second round a draw, with a slight edge to Grimm. The remaining rounds were all close as well. Both fighters landed good combinations. After five exciting rounds, the fight went to the judges' cards. Scotty Grimm was awarded a unanimous decision. The fight was very close, and either fighter could have received the win. The fighters were very evenly matched, and the fight was definitely a crowd pleaser.

The heavyweights were next to do battle. 220 pound Nebraska wrestler Jason Brilz took on 200 pound wrestler John Herrera. Brilz, a former collegiate wrestler in Nebraska and now a wrestling coach, drove some 20+ hours to the show all by himself, without even a corner man. Rich Layton of the Ogden Fighting Alliance volunteered his services as Brilz's corner man. Herrera is a former NCAA National Champion wrestler, and now trains at Colorado Stars in Denver. The men clinched early and Herrera went for a throw. Brilz defended and landed on top of Herrera. For the rest of the round, Herrera was on all fours or his back defending against Brilz. On the ground, Brilz landed some good knees to the body. The scenario in rounds two and three were the same as the first round. Herrera would try a throw and miss. Brilz showed very strong wrestling technique, controlling Herrera on the ground. In the third round, Brilz was able to work in a guillotine choke as Herrera was on all fours. Brilz cranked with all he had and after a few seconds, Herrera tapped. This was a very impressive victory for Brilz. Herrera is a very tough fighter, and Brilz controlled him throughout the fight. I certainly hope we get to see more of Brilz in the future.

The next fight was put together the day of the show, a result of two fighters pulling out. Brad Gumm's opponent pulled out the day before the show. Brad, a UFC veteran, was supposed to be one of the headliners, but was now off the card completely. Promoter Derek Amato did everything in his power to find Gumm an opponent, but had no luck. Clint Rather drove about 20 hours from Texas to fight, and when his opponent pulled out, he was quite disappointed. He had driven so far, and now was without a fight. So, Gumm and Rather were asked about fighting each other, and both accepted. Rather was making his professional debut. He came in looking in good shape. Gumm, who recently received his purple belt in Brazilian Jiu Jitsu, looked very determined. The bout started with an exchange on the feet and Gumm dropped Rather with an overhand right. Gumm quickly pounced on Rather, but Rather was able to recover quickly. Rather attempted a sweep, but in a weird twist of fate, he propelled Gumm into the ropes. Gumm bounced off the ropes and landed on Rather's back, where he quickly sunk in the choke and got the tap at just 42 seconds of the first round. Rather should be commended for stepping up on this short of notice against a solid fighter. Gumm looked very impressive, and hopefully we'll be seeing him back in the big show very soon.

The main event feature Ft. Collins' own Jake "Thunder" Hattan versus Utah's York Ash. The crowd was incredibly loud for Hattan's entrance. I had goose bumps as the thunder rumbled over the sound system and the crowd roared in support of their hometown favorite. The fight started with an exchange of punches standing. Both fighters landed a couple shots. Ash seemed to catch Hattan with a decent shot and Hattan decided to take it to the ground. He scooped Ash up and slammed him hard to the mat. Hattan quickly worked from side control to the mount, where he rained down punches. Ash tried to cover up and work out of it, but Hattan's mount was too tight. The referee continually asked Ash if he was done, but Ash said no. After about a minute, Ash's corner threw in the towel, awarding the victory to Jake Hattan by TKO in round 1. The crowd went nuts. York Ash showed tremendous heart, but was unable to escape once he was in a bad position. The youngster will be back though, that's for sure. As for Hattan, he's once again shown that he has a very solid, well-rounded game. He came in to do a job, and he took care of business, giving the crowd an exciting bout and adding another victory on his record.

After 9 fights, with an even mix of kickboxing and MMA, no fan could have gone home disappointed. Every fight on the card, from top to bottom, was exciting. The dual promotion of kickboxing and MMA on the same card really gave everyone something to enjoy. More promoters should do this, in my opinion.

All the fighters fought very hard, and they were all treated very well by the promotion. Speaking with many of them after the fights, everyone went away with a great experience, and many new friends. Mr. Amato, and all the people involved, should be commended on running a first class show that was not about the promotion, but rather about the fighters and the fans.

Total Destruction approaching
6/07/01

Derek Amato and Jake Hattan of Millenium Inc. are hard at work promoting their next show, "Total Destruction", which takes place in Sioux Falls, South Dakota on Friday, June 15th. They recently appeared on a few local radio stations promoting the show, and are expecting another great turnout. If you haven't gotten your tickets yet, do so now.

Millennium Inc., hot off the heals of the highly successful "Night of Thunder", rolled in to Sioux Falls, South Dakota to present "Total Destruction". South Dakota is a pretty much an untapped market for MMA, and it was uncertain how the fans would react. After some cancellations and injuries, the card was reduced to 7 fights from the 15 that were originally scheduled. However, the audience was still treated to a great night of fighting action.

On the card were such MMA standouts as Brad Gumm, Brian Dunn, Jennifer Howe, and Jesse Jones, as well as many tough up-and-comers.

Full results:

Jeff Gumringer def. Marc-Andre Drolet by split decision after overtime
Clint Rather def. George Naylor by submission (arm bar) in round 1
Sheldon L'Abbe def. Kurt Marble by submission (arm bar) in round 1
Jennifer Howe def. Jennifer Palmer by submission (rear choke) in round 1
Jesse Jones def. John Mokiao by submission (crucifix) in round 1
Bruce Nelson def. Charlie Dearborn by submission (arm bar) in round 1
Brad Gumm def. Brian "Voodoo" Dunn by submission (rear choke) in round 2

Millennium Inc., hot off the heals of the highly successful "Night of Thunder", rolled in to Sioux Falls, South Dakota to present "Total Destruction". South Dakota is a pretty much an untapped market for MMA, and it was uncertain how the fans would react. After some cancellations and injuries, the card was reduced to 7 fights from the 15 that were originally scheduled. However, the audience was still treated to a great night of fighting action.

The night started off with the introduction of the Millennium Ring Girls. Then, the instructor and students from Colorado Brazilian Jiu Jitsu presented a demonstration of the techniques that would be seen throughout the night.

First up on the card was the Canadian Marc-Andre Drolet versus North Dakota's Jeff Gumringer. Drolet clinched immediately, and pulled Gumringer into his guard. Most of the first round was spent with Drolet on his back working for submissions and sweeps while Gumringer punched to the head and body. On the judges' cards, Gumringer won the round, but didn't do any real damage.

Round 2 saw Drolet come out more aggressive. He got a quick takedown that landed him in side control. Gumringer feverishly fought for a guillotine choke, but could not get the leverage. Drolet got to his knees with Gumringer standing, still working the guillotine. Drolet then picked up Gumringer in a double leg and slammed him hard to the mat. His head was still trapped, but he soon escaped and mounted Gumringer. Gumringer turned and Drolet took his back briefly, before sliding off and ending up with Gumringer in his guard. Drolet attempted another arm bar that Gumringer narrowly escaped. Round 2 was Drolet's round for sure. Thus, after the regulation time period of two five-minute rounds, the fight was a draw. The fighters would now fight a 5-minute overtime period.

Drolet started the overtime with a nice Judo throw, but his momentum carried him too far, landing him on his back with Gumringer in side control. Drolet was able to recover the guard soon. The rest of the round was spent with Gumringer in Drolet's guard. Both fighters were exhausted and neither could mount any offense. After the overtime period, Gumringer was awarded the majority decision, which turned out to be the only decision of the night. One judge voted a draw, and two for Gumringer.

The next bout featured the tough, young Texan, Clint Rather, against Colorado's George Naylor. This one did not last long as Rather's skills were just too much for Naylor. The fighters briefly circled and then clinched. Rather quickly gained head control and was able to throw Naylor to the ground. Rather ended up on Naylor's back where he threw some punches. He attempted a choke and then transitioned to an arm bar for the submission.
In the third bout of the evening, Canada's Sheldon L'abbe was making his MMA debut against Kurt Marble, from Omaha, Nebraska. L'abbe, a purple belt in Brazilian Jiu Jitsu under Royce Gracie, showed tremendous skill for a debut fighter. As the bell rang, L'abbe came out swinging. He landed a few good punches and then clinched. After a couple knees, L'abbe pulled Marble to his guard. Marble worked for a minute striking, and trying to get the separation to pass the guard. Soon, Marble left his arm extended and L'abbe locked on an arm bar that forced Marble to tap.

The women's feature bout was next. Making her long awaited return to the ring was Utah sensation Jennifer Howe, regarded by many to be one of the best female fighters in the country. Howe's opponent was Jennifer Palmer from Colorado. Not much was known about Palmer, and she had about 10 pounds on Howe. Nonetheless, Howe came out and dominated as usual. Howe landed a couple punches and chased down Palmer, scoring the takedown. Howe quickly mounted and began raining down punches. Palmer turned, and then Howe took her back and sunk in a choke. Palmer fought the choke briefly, but finally tapped just as she appeared to be going unconscious. Howe wins again in impressive fashion, once again proving she's one of the toughest women in the game.

After a brief intermission, the next fight began. Jesse Jones returned to action after a long layoff. Jones is a 22-year-old midwestern fighter who holds wins over Dave Menne, Henry Matamoros, and others. His opponent was John Mokiao, a tough, young, up-and-comer from the Walt Bayless Academy in Utah. Jones took the fight on a day's notice after Mokiao's original opponent pulled out. Mokiao, despite giving up nearly 15 pounds to Jones, wanted to fight. To fight Jones period takes some guts, but to fight him on a day's notice truly courageous. Jones came out in very good shape, looking to do some damage. Jones landed a left hook, followed by a leg kick that sent Mokiao the ground. Mokiao tried for a single-leg takedown, but Jones trapped his head in a crucifix submission, forcing Mokiao to tap.

In the semi-main event, the two biggest fighters of the evening squared off. Charlie Dearborn, from the neighboring Sioux City, Iowa, took on Bruce Nelson from North Dakota. The fighters clinched early and it went to the ground with Dearborn in Nelson's guard. Dearborn threw some brutal body punches that sounded very painful. After a minute, Nelson trapped an arm and locked on an arm bar. Dearborn appeared to tap out, but after the referee stopped it, he claimed he did not tap. The referee, not sure what to do in that situation, asked the fighters where they felt they should be restarted. Dearborn said that Nelson's leg was across and the arm was locked, so that's where they restarted. Dearborn soon tapped again, and the referee made certain this time that he wanted out. The first arm bar was locked on, and Dearborn did appear to tap twice from my vantage point.

Now for the fight that everyone was waiting for. Colorado native, and two-time UFC veteran, Brad Gumm was set to face off with Brian "Voodoo" Dunn. Before the fight, no one was really sure who would win. It was a toss-up, because the fighters seemed to be very evenly matched. Dunn entered first, to the tune of Godsmack's "Voodoo", wearing face paint and a hat, and carrying a cane with a skull atop it. Gumm entered to a big ovation wearing a hood and kimono. From the onset, this was Brad Gumm's fight. He was very focused on the task at hand, and he knew he was going to win. Round 1 started with the fighters feeling each other out. They traded a couple punches before finally clinching. From the clinch, both landed a few knees, and Gumm scored a takedown, landing in Dunn's half-guard. Gumm soon passed the guard and attained the mount. After a few punches, Dunn turned his back and Gumm sunk his hooks in. Gumm worked for the rear naked choke, but Dunn defended well. The face paint possibly assisted Dunn in defending the choke. He should not have been allowed to wear the face paint for the fight, and hopefully it will not happen again. Just a minute into the fight, Gumm had more of the paint on himself than Dunn did. Gumm slipped off eventually and the round ended with Dunn in Gumm's guard.

Gumm came out in round 2 and got another takedown. He quickly passed the guard again and mounted Dunn. Once again, Dunn turned his back and Gumm looked for the choke. This time, Gumm was able to get the choke and Dunn tapped out, less than two minutes into round 2. After the fight, Dunn said he had never been handled like that before in any of his 30+ fights, including his recent fight against the monstrous Sean Sherk.

Millenium Inc. once again put together a hell of a show. Despite the late cancellations and injuries, the show was highly entertaining. Look for the next show in mid-July, back in Fort Collins, Colorado.

York arrived coming off two wins and promised a show. Clint also coming off a win dropped 20 lbs to make weight for the 4 man tournament. The fighters both threw a couple punches, not much landed and then clinched. Rather could not seem to muscle York to the ground. Yoprk continued throwing rabbit punches to the side of Clin't head as they were clinched, not much damage by either fighter standing.

After a clinch in the middle of the ring, Olsen took Jenkins to the ground and worked for a couple different submissions. Mid way through the round Olsen was able to slip in a arm lock. Jenkins was not going to tap! This kid was tough, but after a bit more pressure Jenkins was forced to tap. Dillon Olsen looked very good and came out on top.

Fight 5
Manuel Arrellano vs Drew Schultz
Arrellano came in ripped and Schultz as well. You could tell this would be a war. Both fighters making their debut and both out of Denver. From the moment the bell rang both of these guys fought with tremendous heart. Both exchanging punches and both attempting to take one another to the ground. Arrellano seemed to have the upper hand landing a few mopre strikes to the head of Schultz. Round two, very similar as round one, both landing punches and not much of a ground war. By the time the second round ended both fighters were totaly exhausted, both were leaning on their knees looking at each other just waiting for the bell to sound. Winner- Manuel Arrellano Unanamous Decision
Both of these guys put on a tremendous show.

Fight 6
Augie Punete vs York Ash
4 man Championship
Both fighters exchanged a few punches at the beginning. Puente took York to the ground a seemed to have York fairly controlled. York continued to throw punches as he worked from the bottom. Puente also continued landing some shots but not seeming to hurt York. Ash rolls out and ends up on tiop and starts a flurry of punches and finally connects to the head of Puente. That was enough as the ref jumped in and haulted the fight. Winner- York Ash TKO 3:29 sec

Fight 7
Tony Zamorra vs Alex Schoenauzer
As both fighters entered the ring you knew this would be a battle. Schoenauzer weighed in at 223 lbs and Zamorra at a whopping 273 lbs. Alex was game although giving up 50 odd lbs is already tough to deal with. Both fighters started with an exchange of punches. Alex was cut and definately ready to battle with the big boy from Denver. After going to the ground it looked as though Schoenauzer had the better ground skills and attempted a few arm locks and working to possibly sink a choke. Schoenauzer finally slips in an arm lock and Zamorra taps, with a smile on his face. This was a great fight and both of these guys were true gentleman. Winner- Alex Schoenauzer Arm Lock 4:24 sec

Fight 8
Main Event
Brett "The Wreckin Ball" Shafer vs Dustin "Mighty" Moe
Shafer entered the venue and the crowd went totaly nuts! Coming out to Rob Zombies More Human than Human, everyone was excited to see the debut of local fighter Shafer whom is a student of MSF lt wt champion Jake Hattan. Dustin Moe entered to Back in Black. Moe is a tough guy and will fight anyone anytime. He is the happy type of fighter whom is always ready and afterwards ready to laugh and joke with all the guys over a beer. They began exchanging punches right from the start, both landing. Shafer is known for his brutal leg kicks, but didn't seem to be comfortable throwing them from the beginning. Shafer seemed to control Moe on the ground although Moe was definately the busier of the two throwing more punches from the top. Shafer deflected most all of the punches on the bottom, but Moe would not stop. This was also a war and both fighters seemed to be very well matched. Punches were thrown back and forth threw the first and second round. During the second round Shafer landed two huge leg kicks that seemed to hurt Moe. Moe continued to battle and they went to the ground again. The fight ended on the ground with Moe being the more dominant fighter. Both of these guys are great athletes and very much gentleman. Definately a rematch in the air after the bell rang. Winner- Dustin Moe Unanamous Decision after 2 5 min rounds
