Email from LionHeart management, about Bradley, who used to train and live in State College:
Paul Bradley (12-1) showcased his impressive stand up and well rounded fight game this past Friday night at the Strikeforce Challenger Fights in Tulsa, Oklahoma by dominating Levi Avera (12-5). Bradley, who improved his record to 12-1, won by a unanimous decision over Avera with all 3 judges scoring the fight 30-27.

"I was pleased with the win Friday night and felt like I was able to dominate the fight no matter where it went. I am going to go back to the gym Monday and continue training full time to move closer to a Strikeforce title. Fighting in a great organization like Strikeforce was awesome and it feels great to be a part of such an impressive fight league. I am looking forward to fighting for them as soon as possible."

We would like to thank the sponsors listed in the column on the left that have generously helped Paul during his training camp.

And special thanks to Minnesota Mixed Martial Arts and Greg Nelson for helping Paul get ready for this fight.

Thanks to mmajunkie.com for the play-by-play:

LEVI AVERA VS. PAUL BRADLEY

Round 1 - Quick touch of gloves. Bradley scores a quick jab, then shucks off Avera's advance, tossing him to the side and falling into top position. Avera settles into half-guard underneath, and he looks to use his long legs to attack. Avera gains full guard as Bradley lands a few shots from top position. Avera ties up the arms, and Bradley tries to posture up. Bradley pulls his left leg through to half-mount. Avera tries to look to his right for a potential kimura, but instead settles for establishing full guard. Two minutes remain in the round. Bradley delivers a few shots to the ribs. Slow action, and the referee brings it back to the feet. Avera fakes a right kick and lands a left kick to the body. Avera grabs a single leg, but he has to let it go. Bradley works in a few quick hands, and Avera tries to answer. Bradley shoots in and powers him to the floor. Bradley drags his opponent to the cage as time expires, and he secures the opening round on the MMAjunkie.com card, 10-9.

From State College's LionHeart Management:
JC Cuffee improved his amateur record to 2-0 this past Saturday at the Barbarian Fighting Championships with a 1st Round Submission over previously unbeaten Jimmy Hall.

LionHeart Professional Management & Promotions is proud to announce that Paul Bradley has signed a multi-fight deal with Strikeforce, one of the top MMA organizations in the world. Bradley will make his Strikeforce debut on Sept. 25th in Tulsa, OK.

Ted: Good to see things going well for Bradley, who used to train in State College at LionHeart Fighters. He's now with Minnesota Mixed Martial Arts Academy, but is still represented by LionHeart's Chad Dubin. Since his short UFC Ultimate Fighter 7 stint, Bradley's been working his way back up the ladder. Watch this guy - he could be a major force at 170.

This video was sent to me by Chad Dubin at LionHeart. Here's the lowdown on LH's fighters: "Phil Davis improved his unbeaten professional record to 4-0 with another 1st round TKO over David Baggett. In his first four professional fights, Phil has gone into the second round only once.

Paul Bradley got back to his winning ways to improve his record to 11-1 with a dominating performance over Leonardo Pecanha. Paul won another stand up war by unanimous decision."

STAY TUNED!!

Mark your calenders for Saturday June 27th in Pittsburgh. We will be sending out final details on Monday regarding Phil Davis, Paul Bradley and Dave Sachs fighting on a big show at the Mellon Arena in Pittsburgh.

LionHeart Fighters, for those of you who don't know, is a big-time MMA academy in State College. Established last year by Chad Dubin, the academy has gropomed such MMA fighetrs as Phil Davis, Paul Bradley, Lou Armezzani, Dave Sachs, and York County's own Biff Walizer.

Today I received an update from Chad, so here goes:

Congrats to Lou Armezzani who was victorious in his professional Debut winning by submission in :37 seconds of round 1 at the Iron Will Fighting Championships in Johnstown, PA.

Next up for Lou will be an exciting return to his hometown to fight in Scranton, PA on June 12th. Stay tuned for more details.

Dustin Pague vs. Biff Walizer

Respect is Earned, which held the first all-pro MMA event in Pennsylvania, has videos of the fights from the show, called Brotherly Love Brawl: The Beginning, on their Web site. Click here to see them.

The event, held at the Greater Philadelphia Expo Center in Oaks, just outside of Philadelphia, featured such well-known fighters (at least to readers of this blog) as Paul Bradley, Biff Walizer and Dave Sachs.

Biff Walizer, Jerod Phillips, and Charlie "The Spaniard" Brenneman

Jerod Phillips, owner of Hanover-based Tap or Sleep fightwear, was at the Respect Is Earned event last night in Oaks, Pa. (near Philly).

As I reported yesterday, Biff Walizer lost in the third round - after a war of a fight - by RNC to Dustin Pague. Two other members LionHeart Fighters had fights there as well: Paul Bradley lost by unanimous decision to Mike Pierce and Dave Sachs won in the third round over Jacob Kirwan by tapout to a rear-naked choke, according to the Pa. State Athletic Commission.

Dave Sachs stands center, joined by two unknown dudes on the left, Jerod Phillips with the Freddie Roach-style glasses and Dave Klick from Cage of Chaos on the far right.

Just got a call from Jerod Phillips of Hanover-based Tap or Sleep fightwear, who is in Oaks, Pa., just outside Philadelphia, for the state's second MMA event - and the first all-pro event - since the sport was legalized.

The event is called Respect Is Earned, a new relatively new, but seeminly well-financed promotion that has also held events in the western part of the country.

When Jerod and I spoke, he had just wrapped Biff Walizer's hands. He said Biff's fight is third on the card, so it shoudl be over while the night si still young, and I'll have the info. up here as soon as I get it from Jerod.

Besides Walizer, there are two other LionHeart Fighters fighters - Dave Sachs being one, and in the main event, Paul Bradley.
