Oli Thompson and Combat Ready Training on Warrior Creed.

Taken from www.warriorcreed.com


Recently on Warrior Creed, we have introduced an advertising scheme to help promote ourselves and to help others with their promotion needs. We advertised our new scheme through our various social networks and we have been inundated with a lot of responses.
One that definitely caught our eye was an email from Christian Vila at Combat Ready Training & ZT Fight School. This one particularly grabbed our attention because Combat Ready Training is where current UCMMA Heavyweight Champion, Oli Thompson trains at.
Christian is Oli’s Strength & Conditioning coach and an expert in personal fitness. After his win at the last UCMMA event, you can definitely tell that Thompson was at his physically (and mentally) best.
We welcome this new advertising agreement with Christian & Combat Ready Training and hope to see them very soon.Don’t forget you can see Oli Thompson defend his UCMMA Heavyweight Title at the next MMA event after May.Take a look at Combat Ready Training’s Blog, for great tips, updates and videos.
Big thanks to Warrior Creed for their shout out....be sure to check them out!

Knockout artist Mark Potter to meet Oli Thompson for Heavyweight

title matchup at UCMMA

Fortuna PR's own Mark Potter will take on UCMMA champion and former

Britain's Strongest man Oli Thompson on June 25th at UCMMA "Stand your

Ground" in London. Mark Potter has made massive waves in the UK

domestic scene with his crisp combinations and knockout power.

Thompson recently claimed the Heavyweight belt in impressive fashion

beating Ben Smith at UCMMA "Lights out".

Mark Potter started out in professional boxing gaining a Pro record of

21-5-0 before heading into the unlicensed boxing scene. Potter would

accumulate an impressive 25-0 record in unlicensed boxing becoming the

EBF champion, finishing all of his opponents inside the distance.

Since hitting the MMA Heavyweight ranks Potter (nicknamed "The Great

White Shark") has finished 4 out of his 5 opponents, an unfortunate

disqualification being his only loss. The manner of the victory's has

led to Potter being singled out as one to watch for the future, making

the respected American web site Bloody Elbow's worldwide top ten

scouting list of Heavyweights. In Thompson, Potter faces the toughest

test of his MMA career and his preparations for the bout are already

under way.

Oli today said:


"So i am defending my UCMMA belt against former pro boxer Mark Potter, 25th June! For the record he is number one contender as confirmed to me by UCMMA before my fight with Ben, a fight that i agreed i would take...i will happily fight Ben again but it was never going to be first defence? 
And i dont make match ups anyway. The fight was very one sided, i found the best way to bounce back from defeat last year to Big Rob was to train harder and learn from it, not to disrespect your opponent".

UCMMA 19 Fight report on PureMMA.com

From www.puremma.com

Oli Thompson crowned Heavyweight Champion at UCMMA 19.

An entertaining night of fights climaxed with a Heavyweight Championship fight between challenger Oli Thompson and champion Ben Smith, last night at The Troxy, London, for UCMMA 19: Light’s Out.

The action was thick and fast and up until the headliner only one fight had seen the second round.

The main event was the fight of the night, featuring Oli Thompson (8-2) from ZT Fight Skool challenging for Ben Smith’s (8-4) heavyweight crown.

Both men looked in incredible shape and they wasted no time to lock horns. After a few strikes on the feet, Oli took no time to execute his game plan and tied up Ben in a clinch and subsequently got a take down.

Ben was game. He scrambled back to his feet and landed some good punches on the feet. Oli stayed calm, completed a second takedown and won the round.

Cardio was always going to be the biggest factor if the fight went past the second round. Oli pulled off another takedown against the fence, landed some good solid strikes, including a crunching knee to the body and ended the fight with a rear choke. Ben Smith was out of a gas, Oli Thompson didn’t need the hooks in to complete the submission.

Oli Thompson improves every fight. His ground game was very impressive and he had complete control over Ben Smith.

After the fight both men agreed to a rematch, something the promoter Dave O’Donnell i’m sure would like too.
