Carina Damm will appeal suspension, says manager

BAD MMA News — Tue, 25 Jun 2013 05:50:00 +0000

The manager of Carina Damm says the fighter will appeal a six-month suspension and $550 fine from the Ohio State Athletic Commission. Jason Ellis of Relentless Sports Management today told MMAjunkie.com (www.mmajunkie.com) that Damm denies submitting a false urine sample to the commission following a fight in Cleveland earlier this month. Ellis added that Damm told him she not take performance-enhancing drugs prior to the competition. “I don’t have all the facts,” Ellis said. “I spoke with Carina and her husband briefly, and my understanding is that she’s not doing anything she’s not supposed to be doing. I was told that she isn’t, so I’m going to support my client and see the facts through.” Damm (18-9), who’s married to Bellator vet Luis Santos and is the sister of UFC featherweight Rodrigo Damm , is suspended for six months retroactive to the date of her fight, which took place June 1 at “NAAFS: Fight Night in the Flats 9.” She lost a decision in a catchweight bout against Bellator vet Jessica Eye (10-1), which at the time was her third consecutive setback. Two weeks later, she fought in Brazil and earned a first-round TKO in another regional event

WSOF inks lightweight Keon Caldwell to multi-fight deal

BAD MMA News — Wed, 05 Jun 2013 01:00:00 +0000

The World Series of Fighting lightweight roster has grown with the addition of Keon Caldwell . MMAjunkie.com (www.mmajunkie.com) today confirmed the signing with Caldwell’s manager, Jason Ellis of Relentless Sport Management. Terms of the multi-fight deal weren’t disclosed, though the fighter, who’s previously competed as a welterweight, is expected to make his debut in late summer or early fall. Caldwell (9-1) had a brief appearance on “The Ultimate Fighter 13″ before leaving the show early for family reasons. Although it wasn’t shown on the reality show, Ellis said Caldwell was told his daughter was hospitalized and that doctors couldn’t break her fever. He opted to leave the show during the second episode to tend to his daughter, who ultimately recovered. Inside the cage, Caldwell has won two straight fights since a submission loss to MFC vet Dhiego Lima in July 2010. He rebounded with knockout wins over Bryan Keller and Jonathan Baldree, which earned him a Southeastern Fighting Champions title, in his home state of Georgia. Caldwell, who hasn’t fought since July 2011, owns nine stoppages in nine career wins.
