Fight Week Blog Week: Fighting B4 Fight Night!


Ct_nova_unicao_medium_medium

On January 27, 2012 I competed at a Mixed Martial Arts Event in Curitiba Brazil at a Brazilian Arena. I will be facing John Loceires who is a product of Brazilian Top Team.

I am Tomas Taverin, I'm am 19 years old and I spend my time training at Vega Muay Thai, home of Muay Thai fighter Brazilian born Seridas Vega. I also spend time training at Nova Uniao and Elite BJJ(Sister Camp of Brazilian Top Team). I am 5'6 and fight in the 135lb weight division. I've been training since I was 6 years old, because I wasn't old enough to date, My Uncle's a Gym Rat and he's all I got so I figured why not? I'm a Muay Thai Kickboxer and Brazilian Jiu Jitsu Brown Belt under Royler Gracie.

Check Out fight coverage after the jump.

I recently fought John Loceires, who fights out of Brazilian Top Team and won the fight via Unanimous Decision after 3 gritty back n forth rounds, that some him slowly fade away as the fight went to its dire stages.

These are fight gifs of my Mixed Martial Arts fight against Bjj Blackbelt John Loceires in which I defeated Loceires via Unanimous Decision, Rocking him multiple times although I couldn't put him away and didn't bother to after it became obvious that this was one of the toughest guys I had ever faced. The fight was all stand up and was a nice back and forth battle were both of us were visually exhausted from kicking each other's ass.

Fight Results: Tomas Taverin def. John Loceires via Unanimous Decision

My next fight is scheduled to take place on April 7th against BJJ Blackbelt Marco J. Ribeiro in the continuation of a Bantamweight Tournament I'm involved in.

I'm gonna provide a video later on in the week probably about Monday or Tuesday, not trying to get caught up in all the pre-fight hype and have no see the video.

I fought today at 12:34 AM

Brown Belt under Royler, that’s impressive, if true. Which is probably isn’t.

The Gracie's are awesome

The Gracie can always come around and put the belt on you, regardless of whom you’ve trained with; obviously as long as their a gracie orientated fighter
