Alexander Crispim to Fight Wednesday!

April 30, 2010 By Leave a Comment

Hello Team,

As you know, Crispim’s fight at Cage Combat was cancelled at the last minute due to issues with his opponent which left him frustrated and disappointed.  He wanted to fight and give all of you who had supported him a great show and properly represent Crispim BJJ and the UFC gym.

Well… he got a call yesterday asking him to fight at the Tachi Palace Fights in Lemoore against Enoch Wilson.  Crispim took the fight!  He says that he is ready to go to battle!   GOOD LUCK CRISPIM!!!

Also, just a little note… we will be adding some pretty cool new features and abilities to the website.  Please watch for them over the next few weeks. :)

Alexander Crispim says “Thank You!”

April 25, 2010 By 1 Comment

Alexander Crispim would like to thank all of his family, students, training partners and coaches for all of the support that they have given to him during the past few months while he was preparing for the title fight at Cage Combat in Santa Rosa last night. 

“As many of you know, my first two opponents were both injured prior to the fight and had to pull out of the fight due to their injuries.  I was given a third opponent two days prior to the fight and unfortunately, he too was unable to fight.  This is one of those examples in life where no matter how much preparation is in place for things to work well, things beyond our control can occur. 

I was there ready and willing to fight and very disappointed for myself, my family and everyone who came out to support me that I did not have the opportunity to fight.  Cage Combat, in my opinion, did everything within their powers to minimize this type of thing from happening, but unfortunately, fighters/people make choices that can hurt and affect other people.  Cage Combat did make me the interim featherweight champion, but I will not feel like the champion until I actually have my day in the cage to prove my abilities and show that I deserve that title.  So… I will continue training, teaching and working hard so that when I am called to defend the title, I will be ready and will fight hard to represent all of you who have so faithfully represented our team.”

Thank you again to everyone and together… we will be ready for the next battle. Train hard and have fun!
