    Congrats to Grandmaison on the title. few questions,
    In the preview it says Grandmaison (PMA) and the review states (Renzo NH)
    which is it and who is Team PMA? What does it stand for?

  3. Bonnell on April 28th, 2009 11:07 AM

    Its PMA/Renzo NH- Professional Martial Arts. Tim Barchard is our MMA coach and that’s the name of his school. Renzo Gracie NH is the Jiu Jitsu instruction we get. same Building (taught by Kevin Landry).
    Same team, same instructors, different name.

    Awesome show.
    There was a whole mess of UFC stars roaming around taking pictures with people. The Lauzons, Gabriel Gonzaga, Marcus Davis, a bunch of guys from TUF episodes. Fight cards was great. You got to see everything from Quick knockouts (Sam Elliot, Travis Bartlett (although I think Jerry could have taken more punches to the head…I’ve seen him do it)), to fights that went the whole way, and everything in between.

    If you missed the Grandmaison/Brandao fight you missed an awesome fight. I’ve never seen someone flip backwards off the cage and get someones back before. Grandmaison seemed to have an endless gas tank.

    Great night of fights. Great atmosphere.

    Ring girls were smoking hot.

    Great camera work for the big screen. Good interviews after the fights. Night moved along smoothly.

    Mass Dedicated Reader… “you all suck” … sorry just missed this…lol

  8. Kevin the Ref on April 28th, 2009 4:28 PM

    Hey Chris, I apologize for the wrong introduction. The announcer caught me off guard last minute and asked what school that PMA was in New Hampshire. I said Premier Martial Arts and I saw the look on your face and realized that was NOT where you trained:(

    Great fight, I think I lost like 5lbs refereeing that one. I’ve got to hit the gym is you guys are going to do more of these 5x5minute round fights :)

    Great card, Great crowd, Great night!

    I was wondering if Grandmasion got to close to a grill or if he did that to his eyebrows on purpose??

  10. john_bronson on April 29th, 2009 11:27 PM

    Hey everyone. I’d like to apologize to Casey and his team, and to my school for my unsportsmanlike conduct during my fight. AMMA puts a high value on honor and sportsmanship. I got carried away, and my actions didn’t represent our values.

    Otherwise, it was a great night, and my thanks to Full Force and everyone else for making it possible.

    Thanks!
