American Stand Up - Mixed Martial Arts

AMERICAN STAND UP - OUR MISSION...
Our mission can be described by two words...quality and integrity.  In an industry that is filled with shades of gray, American Stand Up prides ourselves in exceeding all expectations.  Our reputation and integrity is the benchmark from which all will be judged and attempt to emulate.  More importantly, the momentum established by American Stand Up's growing popularity will be distributed universally to benefit the combat sports world.  Our focus will always be to disregard the "have's" and cherish the "have not's", as only the "have not's" can match our professional hunger.

WHO WE ARE..
We are the amateur fighters who travel 300 miles, on are own dime, just for the opportunity to fight.  We are the professional fighters who sell shirts out of the back of a truck to pay for training.  We are the fighters who live on the gym couch, are always in shape, and show up ready to fight in a moments notice.  You will meet many fighters from Team American Stand Up, but you will never meet the management team as it is a foundation belief to keep focus where it should be...on the fighters.

WHO WE ARE NOT...
We are not thugs, pimps or commercial.  We are not the trendy new MMA rack at Footlocker, and soon Wal-Mart.  We are not the $30,000 logo in the center of the UFC octagon.  We are not a last minute clued on logo on the left pocket of an undershirt for a television fighter.  We are not temporary.

- And new Reality Fighting Championships 145lb Champion...Josh "The Problem" LeBerge!   

"Team Tim Gillette MMA" and "From The Gut Management" added another belt to their collection with Josh's unbelievable victory over former champ Mike Gresh (cornered by Mark DelGrotte).  He won by unanimous decision (30-27 all 3 judges).  Josh (cornered by Tim Gillette and Joe Luazon) fought through several cuts in order to pull out the bloody victory.  He'll now need to take a few weeks to recover before looking towards the future and his next fight...who knows, perhaps Japan!  Despite the loss, Mike Gresh deserves a ton of credit for being a warrior in the ring and a champion in defeat.  On the same night but separate venue, Team Gillette MMA protégé, Kaline Medieros put in a Fight of the Night performance with her decision victory.  Kaline's victory has the entire Northeast Women's MMA scene buzzing as she is the total package of skill and marketability.  .

- Kyle France's "MMA Minded" goes for 5 victories at  Absolute Fighting Alliance: 2 - "Onslaught".  Long-time American Stand Up fighter, Rocky "StoneFist" France headlined the event with his title fight against Norman Alexander.  Delivering another excellent show for the fans, this fight went to the end of the 3rd round with total domination by Rocky. After getting hit by Rocky early in the first round, Norm quickly wanted the fight to the ground and that is where the majority of the fight was spent. Norm never managed to get Rocky down but instead, after every shot, Rocky stuffed him and ended up on top in Norms guard. Rocky split norm over both eyes and toward the end of the 3rd round the ref stepped in to have the Dr. take a look at the cuts. They quickly realized that Norm was not coherent from all the blood lost and stopped the fight. With this win, Rocky is now AFA's Professional lightweight champion!

In another showcase bout, Brooke "Death by Chocolate" McKillip faced off against Kristina Lopez (125lbs).  This fight was a very dominate performance from Brooke. She controlled much of the fight delivering punches from every position and angle. Toward the end of the 2nd round, the ref had finally seen enough and stopped the fight after a few elbows from Brooke. Brooke is MMA Minded's first and only female fighter and holds an undefeated record.
