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.

AmericanStandUp.com recently received the following feedback
on our new Jiu Jitus Gis from stand out team member Christopher Arant.
"How's it going, brother? I just got a chance to try out
the Gi I ordered from you a few weeks ago, and all I can say is "wow"!
Two straight hours of rolling in this thing and it held up as well or better
than the Luckys, Korals, and Atamas. And the collar on it is ridiculous! Nobody
was able to choke me with it because it's huge and stiff, just like it should
be. My instructor even asked me where I got it, because he'd never heard of
American Stand Up and was impressed by the quality. Another piece of top notch
gear in my collection. On another note, I have a seminar the 15th with the
legendary Relson Gracie (founder of our school), and 5 time world BJJ champion
Daniel Moraes (our lead instructor)." September 7, 2009

sponsorship team, agreed to fight Simmons, who boasted an impressive reccord
