SHERMAN PREPARES FOR HIS TOUGHEST FIGHT TO DATE
Posted in 2013, From V3 Fights on January 18, 2013 by ChampOn January 19, V3Fights’ Heavyweight Champion, Chase Sherman, faces his toughest test to date as he takes on interim champion, Jason Ostrowski. Both fighters are currently undefeated, and after this Saturday night, only one fighter will leave with the gold strapped around their waste.
MMA is something that Sherman has always wanted to do. However, playing college football consumed most of his time. He admits that football is his passion, but knows that MMA is what he was made for. He feels that he is blessed with natural, God given ability, that he wasn’t blessed with in football.
He got started when he was attending school at Delta State. He was training with Jae Medders and Tyler Hill (also on this card) in a storage shed and they saw something in him and made him believe that he could be successful as a fighter. After leaving Delta State, he returned home to the Gulf Coast and began fine-tuning his skills with legendary heavyweight fighter, John Dixon, at Dixon’s Dungeon. Three fights later and he was holding the V3 belt.
Sherman won the title back in November when he defeated then champion, Jeremiah Trundle via split decision. Trundle was regarded as one of the best heavyweights in the southeast region and Sherman took the fight on short notice and was a huge underdog going into the fight. Now with a full training camp behind him, he is prepared for his toughest task to date when he faces 9-0, Jason Ostrowski. When asked about his upcoming fight with Ostrowski, here is what Sherman had to say: “For this fight I have prepared myself like none other. I have been working at Dixon’s Dungeon and cross-training over at Alan Belcher’s MMA Club. I have also gotten back in the weight room and I am being trained by one of the best strength and conditioning coaches on the coast, Logan Falo. I feel great about this fight. I know Jason has been training hard as well and is an amazing fighter with a 9-0 record and holds the interim belt. You can’t look past that, but this is the third out of four fights that I am fighting someone with a belt and an undefeated record. I have been there before. I can’t wait to see what happens. There WILL be fireworks!”
Get your tickets now! This is one heavyweight fight you do NOT want to miss!!!
This event will mark the first regional programming broadcast for V3fights with Comcast Sports South and Aggression TV.

Posted in 2012, From V3 Fights, MMA with tags Harmeier, Lua, Memphismma.com, Minglewood Hall, Roades, V3 on May 15, 2012 by ChampOn June 16 at MInglewood Hall, the much anticipated wait will finally come to an end! That’s right, Landon Roades makes his V3Fights’ debut. Roades fights in the bantamweight division and has a current record of 34-5. He is known for his toughness and brutal ground and pound. According to V3Fights’ president, Nick Harmeier, “Landon is someone we’ve had our eye on for quiet some time. He’s one of the most talented fighters in this region and comes from a top notch gym (MaxBishopMMA) and I’m glad he is finally fighting for V3.”
Standing in Roades’ way is the “Baby Dragon,” Sammy Lua. Lua comes into this fight with a 16-2 record and is a former V3 bantamweight and lightweight champion as well as the 2011 “Breakthrough Fighter of the Year.”
Roades and Lua will be battling it out for the vacant bantamweight title (current champion Ryan Collins has declared that he is turning pro). Harmeier states, “I can’t wait for this fight. Styles make fights and I see this fight going to the ground. Roades has awesome ground and pound and we have all seen Lua’s jiu-jitsu. These two fighters are easily the top two fighters in the bantamweight division. I’ve been waiting to see this fight for a long time. This can easily be a main event on any other card.”
When asked about this fight, here is what these two fighters had to say:
Landon Roades….”I’m going to hit him in the face until it breaks or he is knocked out. I hear he has good submission skills and all, but I’m not too worried about it. This is what I believe to be my comeback fight. So be ready to see an intense war.”
Sammy Lua…”I’m really looking forward to fighting for V3 again. I have been fighting in Louisiana and Texas and I’m Read more »
