The UCA caught up with Asiah Medawar to ask her a few questions about the upcoming fight.

UCA – How is training going?
AM – Training is going great! I have been pushing it day in and day out in the gym.

UCA – Has training for this fight been more intense compared to your other fights?
AM – Whenever I am preparing for a fight I always give everything I got because if for some reason I lose I don’t want the reason to be because I didn’t put in the work.

UCA – Who is your coach and what gym are you training at to prepare for the fight.
AM – My main Coach is Robert Espinosa and he is out of the Victorville Police and Fire League. I also train with Danny Garcia out of Millennia MMA

UCA – Are you sparring with men as well as women?
AM – Yes I spar with both men and women.

UCA – When sparring with the guys do they take it easy on you because you are a girl?
AM – It depends on the guy if he is a lot bigger than me then he will hold off on power shots but if not it’s a normal sparring session.

UCA – If you had to pick one fighter whose style most resembles your style who would it be?
AM – That’s a hard question to answer I think every fighter has their own style in fighting.

UCA – What do you feel your strongest weapon in the ring is?
AM – I think my power, cardio, and my determination is my biggest weapon.

UCA – Are you working on anything specific in training camp to prepare for your fight with Proudfoot?
AM – That is something we will have to wait and see when we fight on July 23rd.

UCA – Do you feel you will have to put on the best performance of your career to win the title?
AM – Yes I do. It’s not going to be an easy fight, she is a good fighter but I’m going to get in there and give it all I got.

UCA – If the fight is close going into the 3rd round will you come out hard and push the pace to win the round?
AM – Always, without a doubt.

UCA – Are you nervous about fighting in the main event in front of nearly 2000 people?
AM – No, the more people the better!

UCA – What will you be thinking about as you walk to the ring?
AM – I will be thinking about my family and friends because their support and encouragement is why I’m where I’m at today.

UCA – At the end of the fight will your name be announced as “And The New UCA Welterweight Champion?”
AM – God willing, my hand will be the one raised at the end of the fight. I will be the next champion.

Saturday July 23, 2016 Agua Caliente Resort & Casino will host the SoCal Battle of the Badges. The event will be headlined by two of the best female fighters going toe to toe for the UCA Welterweight Championship title. The #1 ranked Jr Welterweight Asiah Medawar, San Bernardino Sheriff’s Dept. is moving up the 154lb Welterweight limit. The #1 ranked, Jr Middleweight Kat Proudfoot, 29 Palms Fire Dept. is moving down to Welterweight to make this fight happen. The UCA caught up with Kat Proudfoot to ask her a few questions about the upcoming fight.

UCA – How is training going?
KP – I always think of Ali when someone asks this, particularly now as we are so recently mourning his death. “I hated every minute of training. But I said, ‘Don’t quit. Suffer now and live the rest of your life as a champion.” I find that to be so true when training for something in particular, rather than just the love of training.

UCA – Has training for this fight been more intense compared to your other fights?
KP – Emotionally, yes. My last MMA fight was a loss, and my most recent MMA fight my opponent fell out and I did not get to fight. I have the emotional intensity of three training camps combined.

UCA – Who is your coach and what gym are you training at to prepare for the fight?
KP- My coach is Mark Geletko, and I box out of Fight Club 29 in 29 palms CA.

UCA  – Are you sparring with men as well as women?
KP – I spar with more men than women, actually.

UCA – When sparring with the men do they take it easy on you because you are a woman?
KP – They wouldn’t dare.

UCA – If you had to pick one fighter whose style most resembles your style who would it be?
KP – Jeez, I’m not sure. I’m still developing my own style so I don’t really have an answer for that.

UCA – What do you feel your strongest weapon in the ring is?
KP – Tenacity. I’ve fought girls better than I, but I’ve always been meaner.

UCA – You have been busy in the ring and in the cage and you are coming off a big win over Jasmine Isiodoria, EMS January 30, 2016. Asiah Medawar last fight was May 17, 2014. Do you feel her long layoff gives you an advantage?
KP – No, I don’t actually. When you haven’t competed in a long time and you come back, you need it more. There’s a newly lit fire. I’m not taking her layoff as an advantage in the slightest.

UCA – If the fight is close going into the 3rd round will you come out hard and push the pace to win the round?
KP – I always do.

UCA – Are you nervous about fighting in the main event in front of nearly 2000 people?
KP – A fight is a fight, no matter who’s watching.

UCA – What will you be thinking about as you walk to the ring?
KP – “I hope the announcers cut this short so I can get to the face punching”

UCA – At the end of the fight will your name be announced as “And The New UCA Welterweight Champion”
KP – Yes

When you think about the glory days of LAPD Boxing names like Rudy Barragan, George Lopez, Frank Diaz, Ivan Guillermo, Gabriel Gaxiola and Susie Gras come to mind. They dominated the competition and were considered the best in California and perhaps the country.  Those glory days may soon be back. Under the guidance of boxer/coach Jorge Gonzalez  LAPD fighters Hector Mendoza, and Quincy Mirage, have established themselves as the best in their respected weight class. 3rd ranked Middleweight Mike Delery hopes to join his stablemates at the top by the end of the summer. Jorge has proved he can teach and empower his fighters to reach their full potential to become a champion. Iron sharpens iron, when training and sparring with top level guys everyday you have no choice but to get better.  Coach Jorge Gonzalez is already a lock for “UCA Trainer of the Year.”

Two UCA Champions train together at Niavaroni’s Boxing Gym, in Roseville. The UCA Welterweight Champion Brent Bugarin, Santa Clara Sheriff’s Dept. stopped by the gym to get in a workout and train beside the Masters UCA Super Cruiserweight Champion Chuck Pfau, Sacramento Sheriff’s Dept. Bugarin showed off his lightning fast hand speed and quickness while Pfau displayed raw power and strength. Both fighters are in great shape and anxious to get back in the ring.

Power is a dangerous thing. When you fight a guy with knockout power you have to fight a near perfect fight. There can be no distractions. You have to be in moment. There are no do overs or second chances. If you lose focus and get caught, it’s lights out.

Becoming a Champion doesn’t happen by chance, it’s a choice, it isn’t easy, it requires a relentless pursuit. One characteristic that makes or breaks a fighter is not strength or skill, but staying power – the ability to stick it out long after the initial glamour has worn off and when things get tough. Champions know how to push through when others give up. The sacrifices are a part of your life, it’s what champions do. Champions know how to withstand the pain and agony a little bit more than everyone else.  Champions work for everything nothing is handed or given to them. They are the hardest workers. First one to the gym and the last one to leave. A champion is not afraid to fail big and dream big. The greatest moment lies at the end of your journey when all the hard work and sacrifices pay off and you are crowned a champion. Congratulations Quincy Mirage, Los Angeles Police Dept. Chuck Pfau, Sacramento Sheriff’s Dept. Sean Johnson, CDCR, Kern Valley State Prison, James Moore, Monroe Louisiana Fire Dept. Hector Mendoza, Los Angeles Police Dept.

“The coach said to take some days off but I got angry after thinking about all those fighters lining up to take what is mine. So I got back to work!” Hector Mendoza, LAPD, UCA Middleweight Champion.

Five UCA Champions were crowned Saturday night, April 9th at the Hanford Civic Auditorium. The first title fight of the night featured the Monroe Louisiana Fire Captain, James Moore vs Michael Banks, CDCR, CCC for the Masters UCA Heavyweight Championship Title. Last year Moore traveled to California to take on Bryan Williams, Fresno Police Dept. for the UCA Title and would lose a very close decision. Williams has since retired after 25 fights and over 20 years of competing. Moore knew the only way to take it out of the judge’s hands is by knockout, and that’s what he did. When the bell sounded both fighters came forward throwing leather. Moore struck first with a straight right hand that landed on the button. Banks would hit the canvas and make it back to his feet but the referee did not feel Banks could continue and ended the bout at 1:29 of the 1st rd. And the new…Masters UCA Heavyweight Champion… James Moore, Monroe Louisiana Fire Dept.

The second UCA Title fight of the night featured the #1 ranked Hector Mendoza, LAPD vs Abran Rodriguez, LASD for the UCA Middleweight Championship Title fight. When the bell sounded to start the fight Mendoza took control of the fight setting the pace and controlling the action. Rodriguez was a game fighter and stood in front of Mendoza and took everything he had and gave some back. The commanding Mendoza never let up he continued to pressure, landing to the body and head with razor sharp accuracy. Mendoza has a calmness to him in the ring. He knows how to create openings, he moves around well, and throws a variety of punches from the southpaw and conventional stance. From Mendoza’s performance Saturday night he may be a champion for a long time. After three championship rounds Mendoza would be announced the winner…… and the new UCA Middleweight Champion Hector Mendoza, Los Angeles Police Dept.

Just days before Nate Osborn, CHP and Travis Tilton, Sugar Creek, Illinois Fire Dept. were set to clash for the Masters UCA Super Cruiserweight Championship title fight Osborn suffered an injury and was forced to pull out of the fight.  While Tilton was in flight to California, Chuck Pfau, Sacramento County Sheriff’s Dept. was asked to step in. Pfau is a grinder and always in shape and when presented with the challenge he couldn’t turn it down. With 3 days’ notice Pfau accepted the fight with Tilton and a great title fight was made. When the bell sounded to start the fight the fans were treated to some tremendous action. The first round was fought at a fast pace as both fighters came forward looking to break the other man’s will. Pfau continued to pressure Tilton throughout the fight and never stopped risking himself in pursuit of the win. After 3 hard fought rounds Pfau would emerge with the win….and the new Masters UCA Super Cruiserweight Champion.

The night’s main attraction featured Sean Johnson, CDCR, Kern Valley State Prison vs Anthony Deshautelle, Alexandria Police Dept. for the Master UCA Super Heavyweight Championship Title. When the bell sounded to start the action both fighters met in the center of the ring with the intention of making a statement that they are the best fighter in the Super Heavyweight division.  For 3 championship rounds Johnson and Deshautelle exchanged punches. This was a very close fight between two equally skilled fighters. The decision would be left in the judges hands. And the new…Masters UCA Super Heavyweight Champion, Sean Johnson, CDCR, KVSP.

The Co Main event of the night featured the former reigning and defending UCA Middleweight Champion DJ Vargas, Hanford Police Dept. vs #1 ranked Quincy Mirage, LAPD. Vargas was on a mission to be the first fighter to capture two titles in two different weight classes. Mirage was on a mission of his own, to defeat Vargas and leave no doubt in the judge’s eyes who the best Super Middleweight is. Vargas and Mirage have history, they met last year for the UCA Middleweight Title and Mirage would be on the losing end of a split decision. If controversy produces rematches Vargas vs Mirage is a lock. Thus we are left with a repeat-or-revenge scenario. Mirage came into the fight with confidence riding the momentum of a 2 fight win streak. When the bell sounded Mirage went to work. He used a relentless attack to get inside, where he did the majority of his damage with powerful hooks and uppercuts. LAPD Coach Jorge Gonzales devised the perfect game plan and Mirage never deviated from it. He used intelligent aggression to find holes in Vargas defense to land clean shots and Vargas did not have an answer. In the end it was the power shots along with the higher connect percentage and Mirage’s enormous fighting heart that carried him to victory. Before the decision was announced there was no doubt in the judge’s eyes who the winner was. And the new……UCA Super Middleweight Champion…Quincy Mirage, Los Angeles Police Dept. The former UCA Champion DJ Vargas was humble and graceful in defeat. After the fight Vargas said, “Quincy was the better man tonight, he fought a great fight.” For Mirage it’s affirmation that his hard work has paid off and he truly is a champion.
