A Slick Finish: Mackens Semerzier Triangles Wagnney Fabiano

I imagine that I’ll have to say something about the Cerrone vs. Henderson decision tomorrow, but as that will be pretty time consuming, it’s worth mentioning that Curtis was right and his boy Mackens Semerzier (4-0 MMA) submitted one of the top featherweights in the world in Wagnney Fabiano (12-2 MMA, #3 IWMMAR). The submission was absolutely everything a triangle as defense of the groundnpound should be. It was quick, it was technical and it was set up very effectively, so I figured that it… (Full Story)

I told you so…Mackens Semerzier Edition!

Every now and again I say something that people really question.  They laugh, tell me I am wrong, and remind me of it over and over.  It typically begins in the podcasts with Josh to be honest.  A few that come to mind are that when I said Rampage is not only going to beat Chuck but he is going to KO him, the clinical destruction of Bonnar by Jones, and the most recent that Mackens Semerzier could really beat one of the best in the world in Fabiano….

Hometown MMA: Brodie Leap to cut 30 pounds!

From time to time I like to open the doors to the talent hotbed that is Virginia and talk about the local guys.  In the past I have talked about Amir Sadollah, Antwain Britt, and Mackens Semerzier.  This time around I am going to talk about someone you may have never heard of.  His name is Brodie Leap. The Curtis and Kyle Show is going to cover Brodie in depth, but something in a recent blog post jumped out at me. Brodie’s Blog… (Full Story)

Up and Coming MMA: Mackens Semerzier

Josh Stein recently posted on the future of the sport (here).  His article talked about the guys who have yet to suffer defeat.  One that was not on that list is Mackens Semerzier.  You may not have heard about him, but you soon will. Mackens’ has a record of 4-0 so far in his pro career.  He hasn’t came close to losing.  Mack hasn’t even gone the distance yet.  Semerzier is said to be the next big thing to come out of the local area since TUF Alum Antwain Britt.  He has an incredible… (Full Story)

Names to Listen For: Undefeated

There are plenty of MMA prospects worth mentioning, but very few with spotless records. Even many of the top fighters suffer a defeat once or twice in the early stages of their career (part of the learning process, to be sure, and part of the sport). Still, there are a few prospects who start to make a name without ever taking that blow to the ego, guys who just have the cards break in their favor. Part of this column was driven by other members of the MMAOpinion staff, so thanks to Curtis… (Full Story)
