Baby Face vs Reneau - MMA July 25th in Broomfield Colorado! RFA

Maureen Baby Face Riordon takes to the cage again after a long MMA layoff due to injury. Making short work of her opponent at Glory 16, Maureen looks to resubmerge herself in MMA combat. 

This multi talented athlete athlete fights MMA pro vetrain Reneau at 135lbs on July 25th 2014 on the RFA card at the Broomfield Event Center.

Riordon is known for heavy punching power and largely considered a striker, but she's a spider on the ground. Placing 1st and 2nd in 2 separate world grappling compititions, and racking up an impressive 7x Gold in BJJ facing top national competitors. Riordon is one of the most well rounded Sambo and BJJ practitioners on the MMA scene today. Just 3 weeks after Riordon vs Reneau, Baby Face departs for Canada to fight Mrs. Button in an all pro, all female Boxing card.

Meet the Future Angels of FusBoxe Mixed Martial Arts, Chloe Andersen and Aspen Aragon.  These two little girls (ages 10) amaze me with their progress in training.  Both have been training for under one year, and both have made vast strides. They are a joy to work with as their fascination with the martial arts seems never-ending in class.  Their work ethic in training even rivals some of our adults!  These two little girls have inspired me to start a new program at FusBoxe MMA.

I'm looking forward to introducing this newest program at FusBoxe when we move to the new location in November.  These girls will be the first of the Little Angels program.  This program is separate from our Future Fighters program where kids ages 6-13 learn the fundamentals of grappling, wrestling, and light kickboxing.  Participants of the Little Angels will be hand selected by myself and Head Coach Michael Sullivan.  The girls will advance their training to include more kickboxing, conditioning, community outreach events, and participation in competition will be required.  

Participants of the Little Angels program will learn self defense, independent thought, the value of competition, they will gain self value, and will of course have a healthy active outlet to keep them in shape!

I'm excited to work with these girls and all future participants of the Little Angels program as they show the world just how much a little girl can accomplish!  www.FusBoxe.com

Free Self Defense Seminars!

In light of recent events, Michael Sullivan, head coach and owner at FusBoxe Mixed Martial Arts in Westminster, has decided it is past time to spread awareness to children and adults alike about self defense and stranger safety.  There have been so many abductions and abduction attempts lately, and those are only the cases that are getting reported!  Help us spread the word about the FREE self defense seminars we are offering every weekend.  These seminars will be held every Saturday from 1:30 - 2:30 and every Sunday from 1:00 - 2:00 until further notice.  Again, these seminars are COMPLETELY FREE and open to the public, children and adults alike.  Feel free to take as many classes as you like as each week we will review the fundamentals and include something new.  Please share this information with all of your friends and family members as well (keep in mind all minors will need a release form signed by a parent or legal guardian on the first visit).  These classes are highly informative, but are FUN as well.  They are a great idea for something new to do as a family or as a group of friends.  Contact Maureen Riordon for more information at 303-875-4281 or via Facebook at http://www.facebook.com/maureen.riordon. Hope to see you there!www.FusBoxe.com

No Rest for Baby Face! Back at it Again!

Well, I got home late last night from Kansas City (again, I have to say what an AMAZING experience that was! I will never forget it and will be forever grateful that my coach always has me prepared for whatever opportunity may arise).  This morning I woke up and had a fitting for a news segment I'm doing later this week, and then I headed straight to FusBoxe Mixed Martial Arts for training.  Absolutely no rest for this girl! I'm slated to fight again October 13th, 2012 at The Grizzly Rose against 4-1 Stacy Sigala out of New Mexico.  Stacy has recently posted that she plans on coming right out and knocking me out, so I'm looking forward to the opportunity to show her the mistake in under estimating me.

"Love what you do and you'll never work a day in your life", right? :) I love my life.

Thank you to everyone that has supported me in the last few years and who continue to support me now.  I could never have done this without my coach Michael Sullivan. His continued patience and belief in me has made me the athlete I am.  My entire family at FusBoxe  has always stood behind me and helped push me in training.  My parents and my boys for all the patience, tolerance, support, and encouragement. Addison Sports Management and Media for everything they've done. And Intimidation Clothing for their recent sponsorship!  My fans, your cheers drive me. And always, always, always to each of my past and future opponents.  This journey would have no path if you didn't get in there and compete with me. Thank you.

Keep An Eye Out For The Newest Ladies Of FusBoxe

While FusBoxe is the home of pro fighter Todd Meredith and other talented male athletes such as Bo Yurko, Joe Gustafson, Cody Moore, Cameron Sandoval, Eubaldo Lovato, and many more men not to be taken lightly, the ladies of FusBoxe have always had a strong reputation.  Home of the Sambo Angels, we are grooming up our next group of women who have recently starting hitting the competition scene.

Melissa Bennett, Lyanne Aragon, Katie Thompson, and Jackie Billotte are all training hard as a team as they pursue their individual journeys.  Bennett has already won her first kickboxing match and took gold at her first grappling tournament as well.  Aragon, Thompson, and Billotte have gotten their first grappling tournaments under their belt as well, and now prepare for not only more tournaments, but their first chance in the ring as well.  

We upped the training tonight and I couldn't be more proud of those girls for rising to the occasion!  I can't wait to see what they each produce from their efforts!

Busy Month Approaching!

I'm a multi-tasker.  I'm happiest when I have a lot going on.  When things get a little stressful, I thrive.  Man did I get what I wanted! :)

September 28th, I'll be fighting at Harrah's Casino in Kansas City, MO.
October 6th, I'll be going driving across Colorado and Kansas once again to attend Invicta FC 3 to support my teammate Raquel Pennington!
October 13th I'm fighting once again at The Grizzly Rose in Denver.

In between all of this, we are moving the gym to its new location! I'm extremely excited for this move and what it means for the entire FusBoxe Family!  6000 sqft.  A ring, caging, more mat space, expanded hours, locker rooms, showers, showers, showers (can you tell what I'm REALLY looking forward to?), and adding some new classes in!  I'm excited to start several different levels of kettle bell classes including a Youth Kettle Bell program.  I have a couple other exciting programs I'm looking forward to implementing as well, but am not quite ready to share the secrets ;)

See you all in the midst of the craziness!

Baby Face Makes Her Boxing Debut!

Maureen "Baby Face" Riordon will be making her boxing debut Friday, September 28th, 2012 at Harrah's Casino in Kansas City, MO against 1-1 Molly Magness.

"I'm very excited about this fight.  I have plans to turn pro in the near future, but was really hoping to take a boxing match before I did so.  I love competition and am looking forward to expanding my competitive experience.  As a pro fighter I will continue seeking MMA, boxing, and kick boxing match ups as well as competing in as many grappling tournaments as I can fit in. :)

Thank you to Benjamin Nogueras with Blue Corner, LLC for inviting me to fight on his upcoming promotion, and thank you to Molly Magness for accepting the match up!" ~Baby Face
