My daughter, Elsan, 16 yrs. has joined Evolution for the last 6-8 weeks. Previously, she belonged to a gym, went every day little over a year. She was dissatisfied with no motivation or training and wanted more of a challenge. I enrolled her in Evolution MMA which although a little more expensive program monthly, she is thriving. Weight went from 123 lbs. to 108 lbs. Works out 45 minutes to an hour, 4 days a week and conditions on Saturdays. She has developed high self esteem, and gets admiration from her brothers, one who is a 5’11 twin. Her 24 yr. old brother respects her training. She gets a sweating workout and admires her classmate’s awesome body forms. Plus, respects lesser trained individuals. Best thing she ever did. What a great way to empower young women. And all males are very respectful. Dan is awesome running show. Consider this truly healthy environment, and forget the damn gym for women, young girls in particular. Evolution is for empowerment for young women, not posers. Always leaves with a good sweat, work-out.

New Boot Camp time coming May 7th!! Same great class now at an earlier time. 6:00 am class starting May 7, 2012. Pre registration is only $75 a month for Monday, Wednesday, and Friday at 6am and Saturdays at 10:00 am.

 

Friday April 13 at the Bank United Center at UM we had two of our warriors step into the cage at CFA 06. First off to start the night Josh Mercado stepped in to fight Jason Somchay. This fight was 3 years in the making as they were supposed to compete for an amateur muay thai title. Josh came out strong in round 1 landing the cleaner combinations. Josh eventually pushed Jason up against the cage then slammed him, got full mount and started raining blows until the Referee stepped in at 4:24 of the first round.

 

Next up from our team was Mike Trujillo against a very tough opponent Jerrid Burke. This was defiantly a stand up war in the making. First round was close with Jerrid landing some nice leg kicks and Mike landing some great punches including a solid hook that seemed to stun Jerrid. Round 2 Mike came out with a little more confidence putting combos together and eventually landed the jab and devastating right hand that sent Jerrid to the canvas at 4:20 or round 2.

 

Here are the quick results for CFA 06 event held in Miami, FL.

  • Josh Mercado defeats Jason Somchay by TKO (strikes) at 4:24 in the first round.
  • Javier Baez defeats John De Jesus via submission (armbar) at 2:56 in the third round.
  • Patrick Williams defeats Sebastian Angel by referee stoppage. Referee called the fight between the first and second round due to a broken jaw.
  • Trent McCown defeats Ryan Derocher via submission (guillotine choke) at 1:48 in the first round.
  •  Mike Trujillo defeats Jerrid Burke at 4:20 in the second round by KO.
  • Victor Delgado defeats Bruce Connors by unanimous decision.
  • Marcelo Alfaya defeats Abdallah Hamdan via submission (rear naked choke) at 2:45 in the first round.
  • Peter Grimes defeats Charles Bennett via submission (guillotine choke) at 3:36 in the second round.
  • Abel Trujillo defeats James Berto via verbal submission at 1:10 in the first round.
  • Luis Palomino defeats James Warfield by unanimous decision

There’s an old hip hop saying that goes like this, “It aint where your from, It’s where your at.” I believe those are the fine words spoken by a true hip hop legend by the name of “Rakim.”
I’d like to think when the phrase was mentioned he was referring to a pro MMA fighter by the name of Johnavan “The Immortal Warrior” Vistante.
From Oahu Hawaii to Miami Florida, the Immortal Warrior has conquered all obstacles in between and has left his mark on an elite group of fighters on local mma fight circuits across the country.
Johnavan has found a home at Evolution MMA here in Miami Florida training with Dan Monteleone, who is the owner, coach and head trainer here at this fine facility for elite fighters. He was welcomed with open arms and fit into the family just perfect. The Evolution MMA facility breeds champions and Johnavan came to the right place.
The training here at Evolution MMA is intense and brutal but very rewarding at the same time. Johnavan is putting in the much needed work. Why is that you ask?  Johnavan “The Immortal Warrior” Vistante will be representing Team Evolution on the next Ultimate Fighter Live Reality Show due to air March 9th on FX. The Islands of Hawaii are buzzing right now as well as the city of Miami. The Evolution MMA Champions are at it once again and there’s no stopping them.

January 26, 2012 at Club Play South Beach Jason Telus of Evolution MMA became the new ISKA – Fight Time Promotions – Lightweight Regional MMA Champion.  Jason won a unanimous decision over 5-1 Angel Corchado from American Top Team. Jason moved his perfect record to 4-0. Look for big things from Jason; he is going to make some noise in the 155 pound weight class.

DON’T MISS THIS SHOW!!!!!

In the Hip Hop world we hear the phrase, “More money more problems.” In the MMA world we say, “More wins, more opponents.” Evolution MMA pro fighters Mike “Dragonhulk” Trujillo and Anthony “No Quarter” Garavito showcased more than what anyone would consider spectacular performances. On Thursday November 10, 2011, both Mike and Anthony stepped in the cage for their second Pro MMA fight of their careers and left victorious. The event was Ultimate Alliance, which took place at the Dade County Auditorium here in Miami. Anthony “No Quarter” Garavito’s opponent was Efrain “Sexy Beast” Cintron who trains out of American Top Team.  Anthony finished off Efrain in the first round by submission choke to record his second win in as many fights. Next up was Mike “Dragonhulk” Trujillo who’s battle was a bit more tough. Mike’s opponent, Felix Penalver who trains out of American Top Team refused to give in and didn’t mind taking a beating for 3 rounds. The fight ended with Dragonhulk winning a unanimous decision to record his second win in as many fights. The Evolution Pro MMA undefeated reign continues and the future looks promising for these young and motivated fighters. Stay tuned for more to come…..

The month of October has been a very busy one for a couple of the Pro Fighters fighting out of Evolution MMA here in Miami FL. Pro MMA fighter’s and teamates Michael “Dragonhulk” Trujillo and Anthony “No Quarter” Garavito had to put their skills to the test for W-1 Reloaded at the Bank United Center in Miami Fl. The card was highlighted by Marcus Davis and Chuck O’Neil but Trujillo and Garavito sure put on a performance many are still talking about. Evolution MMA is on the rise and making their presence known once again.

Evolution MMA welterweight Michael Trujillo came out looking to impress, absolutely leveling Orlando native Eric Raposo with an overhand right and follow-up punches in just 57 seconds. Debuting welterweight Anthony Garavito thoroughly dominated Davaun McKoy in the grappling department, cutting through the American Top Team product’s guard and working his way into mount seemingly at will. The Miami native eventually forced the tap via keylock at 2:57 of the final frame.
