Nov. 3, 2007 - IFL Grand Prix

Our coach Wagnney Fabiano defeats John Gunderson via submission (guillotine choke) at 1:53 of round two. Way to go Wagnney!!!

June 16, 2007 - Another impressive win for Wagnney!

From the IFL website:

Wagnney Fabiano defeats Erik Owings via submission (armbar) at 0:58 of round 1.

Owings tries to back Fabiano up with jabs to start off, but Fabiano drops down and gets the takedown immediately. Fabiano is setting up his attack from Owings guard, and moves to mount looking for an armbar right away. Owings attempts to roll out, but Fabiano rolls with him and extends the arm in a picture perfect submission. Owings is forced just a few moments into the bout. Another impressive performance for Fabiano, who seems to get better every time he steps foot in the IFL ring.

June 2, 2007 - GTA Grappling Championships

Congratulations to MAP student Rob McArthur who took first place in the Advanced Super-Heavyweight division at the June 2nd tournament. This win places Rob in the top spot in the Grand Prix standings. We are all super proud of you Rob!

April 13, 2007 - Wagnney racks up 2nd IFL win!

From the IFL website:

Fabiano ended his second straight fight in the first round via a side choke, after dominating his opponent on the ground with his effortless jiu-jitsu style. Both Ian Loveland and Cam Ward have fallen prey to the disarming young Brazilian, and he has yet to face a true challenge in the IFL lightweight ranks.
That's what I like to do, Fabiano said of his grappling prowess after Fridays bout. I felt very comfortable. Now I have to train double what I did last time. It has to always be like that.
Fabiano may get his toughest test yet in the Dragons final match of the regular season, as they take on the undefeated Pitbulls. If American jiu-jitsu virtuoso Erik Owings is back in the lineup then, we may find out just what both men are made of in an all-out grappling war.

March 31, 2007 - Wrestlefest results

Congratulations to MAP students Rob McArthur and Kyle Norton who traveled to Toronto to compete in the 2nd Grappling Grand Prix qualifier. Rob walked away with two Silver medals in the advanced division of his weight class (225+). Kyle represented well winning several matches before ultimately losing to the one who would go on to win the division. Great job guys. We are very proud of you.

February 23, 2007 - Wagnney Fabiano wins IFL debut

Wagnney Fabiano defeats Ian Loveland via submission (side choke) at 0:59 of round one.

Fabiano puts the pressure on early, taking Loveland and easily passing his guard to move to side mount. Loveland makes it back to his feet but is unable to avoid the pressing attack of the jiu-jitsu black belt Fabiano. Fabiano secures a very tight arm-triangle choke from side position, and Loveland is forced to tap out. From the team bench, the Dragons leap into the ring and embrace their lightweight.
