kanegan · June 29, 2018

1990 was a momentous occasion in the history. It was the year when the Berlin Wall or the Wall of Shame as coined by some, started getting demolished unifying all of Germany. It was also the year when Germany celebrated by winning the football world cup for the third time.

1990 was the year which saw unification of Yemen, breakup of Yugoslavia, separation of Namibia from South Africa and the Baltic States declaring independence from Soviet Union.

1990 was also the year which saw the creation of the first web server and the foundation for the World Wide Web.

1990 was also the year when a small time illegal fight promoter in Brazil got a vision. A vision to build a sport from scratch, a vision to build a globally renowned brand, a vision to gift audience worldwide a new form of entertainment, Mixed Martial Arts or MMA.

1990 was the year when the evolution of MMA began….

<p></p><div style="text-align:center;"><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;">Under the vision of Luciano de Oliviera, a small time underground fight promoter in Sao Paulo, PFL opened it’s doors in 1990. Luciano looked to build a place where expert in all martial art forms could fight with each other. He coined a new term, Mixed Martial Arts or MMA, a new form of sport which will unite all martial arts. He had long been promoting small illegal fights, but it was time to think big, it was time to go national. Luciano along with his trusty aide, Denilson started building the framework and soon they finalized the rules:</div></div></div></div><p></p><p> </p><p> </p><p>

</p><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;">The early seasons went through a lot of rule changes. The first season would start with a league format with 10 fighters across different nationalities in 8 weight classes – Heavyweight to Flyweight, with top 4 making it to the knockouts. Anybody who scored 20 points or above would qualify directly without the need of completing all his remaining league fights.</div></div></div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div></div></div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;">

The biggest story of the season would come from Zacharis Gomez, an Argentinian bantamweight fighter who would become the first person to qualify for knockouts with 5 straight 1st round K.O of his opponents. But he became embroiled in controversy when news of his home orgies with prostitutes and friends would leak leading to him being suspended for 10 months.</div></div></div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div></div></div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;">

He emerges strongly from that incident though, winning the first ever bantamweight GP and becoming the bantamweight champion. He would go on to win a silver medal at the world submission wrestling championships as well.</div></div></div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div></div></div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;">

I have been away for long due to personal life and my indulgence in other games but now that everything is sorted, i am back and this diary will continue. Though updates will not be regular as before, i would try to give updates in a routine manner.

We dominated the end of year awards in 1994 and we rose to High Level Regional which meant that we would now be able to hand out exclusive contracts. We also signed contracts with Televisao Esporte and National Pride TV which meant our events will be shown in USA, South and Central America.</p><p> </p><p>

With so much positives coming out of this year, the next year would be a crucial one where we change our format a little. Stay tuned.</p>

<div style="text-align:center;"><p><strong>Lookback – 1994-1995 (Heavyweight to Welterweight)</strong></p></div><p></p><p> </p><p>

</p><div style="text-align:center;"><p><strong>Heavyweight Division</strong></p></div><p></p><p> </p><p>

Ari Peltonen had been dominating the scene ever since he won the second Heavyweight GP, winning the title and then defending it against Jack Cobblepot but his thunder was stolen by Hassan Fezzik who debuted in PFL in ’94 and defeated PFL mainstays like Boniek, Rabalais and Sachs before he got his shot at title and then in February of this year, he defeated Peltonen to become the new heavyweight champion.</p><p> </p><p>

The best newcomer honors definitely go to Christopher Sharp whose post-fight interviews and his brutal 1st round knockouts in the Heavyweight GP has made him a fantastic fighter to watch. He is due to fight in the GP final against Abdullah Sachs and many predict that he will be the new winner.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p>

</p><div style="text-align:center;"><p><strong>Top 10</strong></p><p> </p><p>

#10 – Duke Aiona (Kailua, Hawaii, USA) (5-1, 2-1 PFL)</p><p>

</p><div style="text-align:center;"><p><strong>Light Heavyweight Division</strong></p></div><p></p><p></p><p> </p><p>

This division is all about Aleksei Chekhov. Debuting in 92 and winning the 2nd Light Heavyweight GP, he went on to win the title and has not lost a match in the last three years.</p><p> </p><p>

The two newcomers, Aonan Jetikarn, the Thai national karateka and Alfonso Villar, Muay Thai exponent from Brazil who will be fighting each other in the Light Heavyweight finals has blazed through their respective opponents earning some glory for themselves and bursting through the top 10 ranks.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p>

</p><div style="text-align:center;"><p><strong>Top 10</strong></p><p> </p><p>

#10 – Affonso Villar (Curitiba, Brazil) (4-0, 3-0 PFL)</p><p>

</p><div style="text-align:center;"><p><strong>Middleweight Division</strong></p></div><p></p><p> </p><p>

The poster boy of the division and poster boy of MMA in whole, Mario de Souza is undoubtedly the biggest star in MMA now. P4P the best wrestler in the world, he had been with PFL since the start and only lost one match, his first title shot against Zaco but barring that nobody has come close to unseating the Brazilian. He has won 13 matches in PFL, including the revenge title match against Zaco and then put in two defenses, against his contemporary Brazilian Braulio Moura and Angelino Cascone. </p><p> </p><p>

Braulio Moura has been the most impressive of newcomers who was undefeated till his loss to Mario.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p>

</p><div style="text-align:center;"><p><strong>Top 10</strong></p><p> </p><p>

</p><div style="text-align:center;"><p><strong>Welterweight Division</strong></p></div><p></p><p> </p><p>

Winner of the 1st ever Welterweight GP, Englishman Jim Carpenter is still going strong and has been champion for three years now. Putting in the most defenses out of all the champions at 4, he is destined to rule the roost for a long time.</p><p>

Bobby Brubaker and Darin Blood round off the impressive newcomers list who are on their way to meet in the finals of the Welterweight GP although they have to overcome their semi-final opponents first.</p><p> </p><p>
