Two IMMAF 2016 World Amateur Winners Doping Suspensions
IMMAF WORLD AMATEUR MMA RANKINGS UPDATED FOLLOWING DOPING SUSPENSIONS
(London. 11 January 2016) Following the suspension of two IMMAF athletes for doping offences in 2016, the IMMAF World Amateur MMA Rankings have been updated accordingly:
Dallas Jennings (USA) has been stripped of his 612 points accrued at the 2016 IMMAF World Championships at UFC International Fight Week in July. The points deduction is now reflected in Team USA’s overall ranking score, which sees the team drop down one place to 5th.
Aleksandra Rola (Poland) has been stripped of her 548 points accrued at the 2016 IMMAF World Championships at UFC International Fight Week in July. The points deduction is now reflected in Team Poland’s ranking overall score, which sees the team drop down one place to 10th.
The revisions see Team Ireland move up to 4th spot in the World Amateur MMA Rankings and Team New Zealand step up to 9th. The 2016 IMMAF World Championships was the sole IMMAF event participated in by the athletes, and so the points deduction sees both eliminated from the athlete rankings.

UFC Fight Week 189 in Review
UFC Fight Week 189 is Finally in The Books, And What a Week It Was!
There were numerous events scheduled during UFC Fight Week! For me it started by covering the IMMAF, the International Mixed Martials Arts Federation WORLD Championships. The best of the best in Amateur MMA from over 30 counties and more than 130 male and female fighters.
Then there were the UFC Pool parties where FANS got there chance to meet and get photos with some of their favorite UFC fighters and of course those Stunningly Gorgeous Octagon Girls. Plus, the UFC Charity event at Sunrise Childrens hospital where UFC fighters visited with these kids fighting for their life was very emotional.
In the video below I’ll feature my favorite 60 photos or moments, give or take a few, from the entire week. July 6-12.
WATCH THE VIDEO NOW:
The autograph sessions during UFC Fan Expo and off Property were also fan favorites. One guy I met wasn’t able to wait in the LONG line line to get a photo with Arianny Celeste, so I captured a special moment for him.
At the Fight Shop inside the Planet Hollywood Casino another young man was the first in line to meet UFC fighter Miesha Tate and as he told me, “it was a dream come true.”
I especially liked it when the Godfather of Cutmen, the Legend, Jacob Stitch Duran showed up on Day 4 of the International Mixed Martial Arts World Championships. Not only fighters but all the cutmen in the room wanted a photo with Stitch whether they openly admitted it or not!
Then at Fan Expo we had the Kick Boxing Tournament, JJ Tournament, Arm wrestling Tournament and lets not forget the Hall of Fame and Ultimate Fighter Weigh-ins. And of course on Saturday Night UFC 189 with Conor McGregor taking out Chad Mendes in 2 round!
There was so much going on, it’s virtually impossible to cover all the events that were happening. It was an inspiring week.
The absolute best moments for me was capturing the fighters as they got their hand raised as WINNER! Priceless…
