Amateur Fighters
Smiley - Amazingly nimble for a man his size, Smiley makes fighting look easy. Whether on the ground or standing, he's known for his ability to end the fight at any moment. In his 7 amateur kickboxing matches, only one has gone the distance and each one has resulted in his hand being raised in victory.
Russell Burney - Russ started his MMA training with Team Relentless in Clay Hill, FL, and also trained with Gene Bautista in kickboxing, but has been training with Smiley for more than 2 years. A blue belt in Brazilian jiu-jitsu, Russ is known for his crisp technique, incredible stamina, and killer instinct. Currently, he's 8-1 in amateur kickboxing matches.
Josh Fournier - A gym rat, Josh can be found at Combat Athletix every night of the week, training in boxing, kickboxing, Brazilian jiu-jitsu, karate, and MMA. Having trained with Smiley for more than 2 years, he has compiled a 9-0-1 record in amateur kickboxing matches.
Jovan White - Van has wrestled competitively for more than 12 years, including at the collegiate level. Having recently taken up boxing, kickboxing, Brazilian jiu-jitsu, and MMA, Van is known for his speed and willingness to trade strikes with his opponent.
Paco De Jesus - Paco trains in boxing, kickboxing, Brazilian jiu-jitsu, and MMA at Combat Athletix. A well-rounded fighter, Paco has compiled a 5-1 record in submission grappling events.
Steve Dressler - A former Recon Marine Officer, Steve is a powerful grappler that always gives his opponent fits no matter where the fight is. He is currently 2-1 in submission grappling matches.
Terry "Polar Bear" Blackburn - With kicks that defy logic for a man his size, Polar Bear originally trained with Bob Boyle in Cheung Style Sport Kung-Fu. Having trained with Smiley for about a year, he is currently 12-1 in amateur kickboxing.
David "Status" Blackburn - David is Terry's little brother and also trained with Bob Boyle in Cheung Style Sport Kung-Fu before coming Combat Athletix. A tough fighter with a wide array of strikes in his inventory, David brings it every time he fights. He is currently 2-3 in IKF amateur kickboxing.
Charlie Herrera - Charlie is a master at Cheung Style Sport Kung Fu as well as a very strong kickboxer who has recently begun competing in submission grappling as well as IKF amateur kickboxing. His record in amateur kickboxing is 14-3 and he submitted his opponent with an Americana/keylock in his first submission grappling match. After winning his second ever submission grappling match, Charlie is 2-0.
Mindy "Sarge" Nolls - This chick is TNT stuffed inside a gallon of gasoline gently snuggled in napalm and stored inside a firecracker warehouse for safe keeping! "Nuff" said. She fought her first kickboxing match as an exhibition against a woman who outweighed her by 35 lbs. That's pounds not ounces! After being warned by the referee several times for being too aggressive during an exhibition, Sarge ended literally with a bang as a right hook sent her opponent with arms stretched backwards and head first to the mat. Either she was practicing her backflip, auditioning for a Calgon commercial, or she got KTFO. Either way it made for an entertaining bout as David tore through Goliath.
Mason Cornish - Mason fights like a caged beast. He can be seen stalking around the warm up areas before his fights, growling and shadow boxing. When he enters the ring and the bell rings, he explodes into a storm of violence. In his two amateur kickboxing matches, he has dominated, winning his first with a TKO in the first round and winning the second by unanimous decision. At 2-0, he will be representing the Smiley Fight Team at the IKF World Classic Amateur World Championship Tournament in Orlando, Florida.
