yea dave terrell is a good dude..i used to work right by his academy and would talk to him all the time....never met ur boy tho...what is dumb is that people claim "nor cal fighting alliance" and shit...for example..me and my boy were drunk and walking home when two dudes decided to jump us...and started yelling nor cal fighting alliance and shit...we just laughed and beat their ass...when the cops came, they said that people are giving NCFA a bad name and dave didnt appreciate it...

Affliction is the other org thats putting a bad ass show on that night, ufc wanted to cock block by hosting this free event on the same night.



The Ultimate Fighting Championship returns this Saturday with another installment of UFC Fight Night from The Palms in Las Vegas, Nev. The show will be aired for free on SpikeTV and marks new beginnings for many fighters on the card.

David Terrell-trained middleweight Nate Loughran makes his Octagon debut when he squares off against fellow undefeated fighter Johnny Rees. A veteran of Gladiator Challenge and Palace Fighting Championships, Loughran is a former wrestler who has made a successful transition to MMA thanks to the training at the Nor Cal Fighting Alliance. He is 8-0 since making his debut just over two years ago.

Now, with the opportunity of a lifetime ahead of him, the surprisingly calm California product appears focused and ready to take his UFC debut as if it were just another fight.

“It’s an honor and a great opportunity and one I’ve worked very hard for and that I’ve earned,” he said. “Honestly, though, I see this as just three different letters.

“I know my team, manager and coaches; they groomed me well and I have a lot of trust in their abilities to assess my opponent and my skills – so if they say I’m ready – I’m ready.”

When it comes to his opponent, Loughran conveyed that he was more concerned with performing to his own expectations, rather than worrying about Rees’ game plan.

“Honestly, I focus on what I need to do, and not what they’re able to do or not able to do,” he stated. “I just try to keep the fight where my strengths are.

“I have a general sense of what their skill sets are, but I don’t look too far into it. I just try to keep focused on my task,” added Loughran.

As for what he feels he brings to the match-up, “I consider myself mentally tough and extremely well-conditioned. I have a world-class jiu-jitsu teacher who teaches me well. I have great stand-up coaches too. I’m a former wrestler and I’ve also done Judo, so I tend to stay more toward the grappling, but I’m not afraid to bang either.”

While some other fighters may have a grand scheme of what they’re going to do, especially after taking the next step forward in their career, Loughran is more concerned with staying busy and learning as he goes.

“Honestly, I’m the kind of guy who wants to fight a lot,” he stated. “I’m at the mercy in a lot of ways of my performance, the UFC and how often they want to fight me, but I’ll fight as often as they’ll let me.

“I try not to put an expectation on myself. I don’t really know where I’m going, but I like where I’m headed. Just one step at a time – I don’t need to see the whole staircase, just the next step.”

Amongst all the other fighters making their debut at Saturday night’s UFC Fight Night, Nate Loughran may be one of the lesser-known athletes. However, if he has his way, he’ll be the one to remember when it is all said and done.

“I’d just like to thank my team, training partners, friends and family for their support,” he concluded. “Thanks Dr. Gary Furness, Premier Talent Stone, Fairtex, Stagger, Kershaw Knives, Jeff Tyler Construction, Blunt Force Trauma, Zappo, Eternal Unlimited and the Palace Fighting Championships for helping to get me seen.

“To the fans, this is one of those rare fights where someone’s ‘O’ has got to go. I don’t really see it going to decision – the judges can kick up their feet and enjoy this one.”
