MMA Fight at La Covacha

There was blood on the floor La Covacha, in Doral, on Friday, June 25th 2010. Mixed Fighting Alliance’s New Generation II was another perfect display of a pounding at its essence. The octagon was setup in a most unusual spot - in the parking lot of a restaurant and nightclub in West Miami. Imagine a series of some of the toughest dudes you've ever seen, being merciless in the ring as club-goers come out to witness the chaos. A site that had to be seen to believe!

The New Generation organization hopes to bring fresh blood to the MMA world. The fight card that night was impressive with contenders like Alexis Vila (7-0) of the American Top Team flyweight division - an undefeated fighter. Cuban-born Vila has fought his way around the world boasting titles such as former world Freestyle champion. Needless to say he ended the night with a victory against Wisconsin's best, Omar Chovdhury (13-6)! The intensity and focus of this bout was magnificent. A few of the fights ended in the blink of an eye, such as the 17-second knockout by Yoislandy Izquierdo in the 6^th bout.

The oddest display of the night was the huge street fight in the fighters' tent right after the show. The brawl started when a fighter criticized another coach and the boys went on the defense. The tents were destroyed with blood and chairs everywhere. Fighting equipment was strewn across the floor and dozens of confused on-lookers rushed to get out of the way. One arrest was made. Jose "Fresh Prince" Caceres had this to say about the turmoil: "I have no idea I just, like, punched somebody in the face like 5 times. I heard FIGHT, and I was like YEAH I’m still fighting!" - a certain enthusiasm from this new blood fighter. You can’t change the spirit of a fighter, a warrior is always ready!

New Generation II was a successful event for new, emerging talents to display their skills in the octagon. As a plus, the after-party was beyond sexy, with hundreds of mamacitas grooving and shaking to the Latin Rhythms of La Covacha's nightclub. Make sure to keep an eye out on the upcoming fights featuring these brave, dedicated New Generation fighters.
