Road to IMMAF 39...

[•¤§þi†fï®ë¤•]

Maria Cruz: It's been a looooooong time coming guys, I'm so far back with these that I'm just going to say forget it and start anew.

[glow=red,2,300]Talan "Sandman" Stihl[/glow]

A real shocker eh? Was I surprized at the little thing he pulled at the press conference, yes, but for a different reason than you may think. Talan is a great fighter no doubt, but him declining my offer isnt what surprized or struck a nerve with me. When Spitfire was first established, we were in a corner gym with four stand up fans posted up in each corner, lifting 50 to 100lb bags of rice and carring it from one side of the gym to the other, no weights. Trust me, when your average joe see's this, they're bound to turn down this joke of a gym. I'm used to rejection...but you couldn't tell me backstage? You couldntve told me about it anywhere else, before I said my speech maybe? No, you waited until all cameras were on you, until your name was out there. I dont like to be used Talan, and you used me for press, that struck a nerve with me. But I'm not even going to fret over it, onto more important persons as well as subjects..

[glow=red,2,300]HUUUUUGE Fights for Spitfire![/glow]

Wow. Talk about rising through the ranks fast. It feels like only yesterday I was signing you guys and already you're in the biggest fights of your lives. But let me stop grouping you guys and talk to you seperately.

[glow=red,2,300]Jaya "Javanese Buzzsaw" Tohpati[/glow]

I have to say I'm impressed with you Jaya, you've been doing your thing,at IMMAF 39 it all pays off, this may be the fight of your career. Jin is a very well rounded fighter, has knockout wins as well as submission wins so please dont pull a Tavier and think this is just another win under your belt, think of this as the title fight. Jin's submission skills are sick, he even tapped me out, so if you defeat him man....your stock triples. Do not screw this up.

[glow=red,2,300]"Sychotic" Shane Thompson[/glow]

This is it Shane, this is what you came here for. All the hard work you put into this company since you began is coming full circle to reward you, but Olivera is no slouch. What you have to do is take him down immediately, I'm talking as soon as the bell rings go for the double leg. When you get him down, constant submissions. Based on how you attack Olivera this can be a very easy night for you, or a very hard night, dont listen to his pre fight talk, you've earned this shot. People thought Ryan was the next to possibly face Olivera, you stopped that. They thought Higgins would be the one to take his title, you put a stop to that. you were given the shot for a reason, so lets bring that title home!

[glow=red,2,300]Maria Cruz vs "TKO" Honda [/glow]

Dont worry guys, it's coming. I've spoken to the guys in the big seats and the fight *should* be happening at IMMAF 40. I love it. I'm injury free and training has been going really well up here, everyone in the Spitfire camp is psyched about their upcoming bouts, I'm hoping to see Honda bouncing back soon, the kid is a monster and I'm hoping he can fight on IMMAF 40 as well. But I dont want to fight on the 40th card just because my training has been going well, I also want to fight on the 40th card because I dont think many have noticed, but on every 10th card, something wild, new, exciting or different happens. IMMAF always adds something different on the 10th show. Think IMMAF 10. IMMAF 20. IMMAF 30. So here we are at IMMAF 40, lets make history TKO!
