Impact Jiu Jitsu rocked at the United Combat Sports Submission Tournament by Sub League on Saturday, January 22, 2011, with all our warriors laying it on the line each match. Congratulations to everyone who competed. We are proud to have you wear the blue. Look for results on subleague.com this coming week.
Impact JJ also had three fighters work their hearts out preparing for the United Combat Sports MMA fights, The Resolution 2, on Saturday night: Matt Hammon, Bryan Nuro and Lee Flores.
Unfortunately, Matt’s original opponent and his back up must have heard about Matt because they both fled and did not show to fight.
Bryan Nuro, representing us and our Eugene brothers (NWMA), had a perfect warm up led by coaches Jason Tubania and Armand Debruge. The fight started like an Olympic sprint with both fighters looking for the advantage. Bryan’s opponent, with an impressive display of high kicks and wild swings, gave Bryan a chance to work on his foot work and movement. Opponent tries for a spinning back fist and Bryan goes in for the body lock to take down. Bryan gives a jits clinic on top control then sinks a deep rear naked choke that would not let up until his opponent tapped out. Great Job Bryan – 2 and 0 now.
Lee came out next after an excellent warm up with Larry Munyon, James Marlier, Armand Debruge and Jason Tubania. Waiting back stage for the fight to start, Lee became a little settled, so we gave him a little spark up at the cage door and Lee’s fight face would have chased away a wolf.
Lee’s 6’2″ opponent came out with intent on controlling the range with kicks and punches. Lee chose to circle and move to set up a fantastically timed shot, throwing his opponent to the cage where he then set up a big lift and throw (thanks for the extra work coach Eric Jetton!). Lee passed guard and began looking for a top crucifix, but his opponent kept moving desperately for escape. When the opponent scrambled to get away, Lee pounced to a rear naked choke that would not be denied. Great win Lee.
Both fighters represented us well, we are very proud of you Bryan and Lee. And thank you to our warm up team coaches Armand Debruge, Jason Tubania and James Marlier. Also thank you Larry Munyon and Mike Moreno for offering your words of experience to our warriors.
You all make me proud!
- Coach Michael

George Sotiropoulos defeated Kurt Pellegrino by unanimous decision on Saturday, July 3 in Las Vegas, NV. George was all business, controlled all ranges, and proved once again that he belongs on top.
UFC’s Dana White was quoted on MMAJunkie.com, July 5:
“I’m impressed with him,” White said after the July 3 Las Vegas event. “I was blown away with his Joe ‘Daddy’ Stevenson fight, and he looked incredible [at UFC 116] against a guy I have a lot of respect for, too. Kurt Pellegrino is awesome.
“[Sotiropoulos] is right there. He’s fought his way into the mix. No doubt about it.”
Impact Jiu Jitsu and George’s training partners couldn’t be more proud. Congratulations, George!
Friday, May 21, 2010, STRIKEFORCE will be at Portland’s Rose Garden Arena and Impact is on the card. Pro Escobedo will make his professional fight debut, and Lee Flores will be on the undercard with a tough amateur 185 lb. battle.
Tickets are available now at Impact Jiu Jitsu in Beaverton or Newberg. Proceeds from Impact’s ticket sales benefit Impact’s fighters.
You don’t want to miss this! Make your plans now, and come out on the 21st wearing your blue Impact shirts.
Did you hear? Impact Jiu Jitsu went 3-0 at Rumble at the Roseland 50, on Saturday, March 6, 2010. This was the Full Contact Fight Federation’s (FCFF) sold out 50th anniversary show.
First up, Mike Moreno won in the second round with mount ground and pound, referee stop. Mike showed amazing poise, stretching his game to include a devastating, airborne, running, double leg takedown to mount.
Shaun Mirjavadi, coming off a recent title loss, refocused and fought a very controlled, smart fight. Shaun started off with good initial contact, excellent boxing, and then followed up with a fantastic single leg takedown to cross side control. Shaun fought like a man on a mission, and he got his belt back with a ground and pound referee stop.
Larry Munyon met his toughest opponent yet. His opponent trained with some of the best 205′ers around to get ready for Larry, but it is hard to prepare for a fight with a force of power and determination called Larry. Early in round one, Larry’s nose was bashed and very broken. Undeterred, Larry pushed forward, imposing his game. This was a great fight back and forth with no break in action for three rounds. In the end: unanimous decision, Larry Munyon.
It was a great team effort. Thank you to everyone who came out to support Impact’s fighters. A special thanks to Lee Flores “cut man supreme”, and warm up crew Shaun Ryan, Doug Steinbach, Jason Tubani, and Eric Hemphil.
