FORMER UFC FIGHTER MIKE CIESNOLEVICZ SIGNS WITH APEX SPORTS AGENCY AND THE WORLD SERIES OF FIGHTING

The ASA and WSOF now home to Ciesnolevicz

Ft. Lauderdale, Florida (USA): Top MMA management company Apex Sports Agency (ASA) revealed today that it has signed UFC veteran Mike Ciesnolevicz to a contract, and is now handling his career. ASA has also revealed its first move for Ciesnolevicz, inking him to a multi-fight deal with a rising MMA promotion in the World Series of Fighting (WSOF). This is the second signing WSOF of an ASA fighter, as Lyle “Fancy Pants” Beerbohm also joined the promotion this week.

“We at ASA are proud to have a professional like Mike Ciesnolevicz join our ranks,” stated ASA CEO Jason Chambers. “Mike’s had some injury problems, but he has finally been able to have the shoulder surgery he needed, and is looking forward to returning to the cage in dominating fashion. The WSOF is a great place for him to show that he has been overlooked for too long, and that he is a threat to be taken very seriously.”

Mike Ciesnolevicz is a patient man, if nothing else. After running his record to an impressive 16-3-0-1, Ciesnolevicz made his Octagon debut at UFC 95 against current Bellator heavyweight stalwart Neil Grove. After the fight hit the mat quickly, Ciesnolevicz locked in a heel hook submission, torquing the hold until Grove’s knee popped out of its socket. Due to this shocking finish, Ciesnolevicz had made a huge impression in his Octagon debut. After suffering a tough TKO loss in his next UFC bout, Ciesnolevicz was released from the promotion. He’s fought only twice since that fight, winning both in impressive fashion. Signing with Apex Sports Agency and now the WSOF has breathed new life into his career, and Ciesnolevicz is now ready to take it to the next level.

“I am very excited to sign with both Apex and the WSOF,” said Ciesnolevicz. “One of the main points that attracted me is that they are all about putting the fighters first. I believe the WSOF has the ability to do big things in the MMA world and I'm honored to be part of this great organization.

“I would like to thank Jason Chambers and Apex Sports Agency for guiding me to this deal with WSOF and into the second half of my career. I have twenty-five professional fights, and I'm looking forward to the next twenty-five with ASA.

“As for my fans, they can expect to see a very well-rounded display of mixed martial arts the next time I compete. I have a few secret weapons that I have been dying to unleash!”

LIGHTWEIGHT STAR LYLE “FANCY PANTS” BEERBOHM SIGNS ON WITH APEX SPORTS AGENCY

ASA to manage Strikeforce veteran

Ft. Lauderdale, Florida (USA): It was revealed today that Apex Sports Agency (ASA) has agreed to terms with Strikeforce veteran Lyle “Fancy Pants” Beerbohm. ASA will now be handling Beerbohm’s management and sponsorships as a result of this agreement.

Regarding coming on-board with ASA, Beerbohm said, “I have heard great things about Apex and what they do for their fighters. It is my goal to grab championship gold in the UFC, and with ASA and my team backing me, it’s only a matter of time before I reach the top of the mountain!”

“I am very excited welcome Lyle to our team,” stated ASA CEO Jason Chambers. “He is an extremely tenacious fighter with a tremendous work ethic…a bad combination if you are his opponent.”

Known for his unique fight shorts, his aggressive style, and his colorful backstory, Beerbohm has carved out an impressive 16-2 pro MMA record, including a combined 5-2 tally in EliteXC and Strikeforce. He’s faced some top competition in his young career, already locking horns with well-known fighters such as Shinya Aoki, Pat Healy, Duane “Bang” Ludwig, Vitor “Shaolin” Ribiero, Rafaello Oliveira, and Gerald Strebendt. Yet, just becoming a professional MMA fighter was a victory for “Fancy Pants.”

After spending a year in a Washington prison due to a drug addiction, Beerbohm began his MMA just seven days after his release. Drugs and bad choices almost derailed his life for good, but he turned things around with the help of family and God. Since then, he has been profiled in the well-received “Fight Life” documenatry. On the fight side of things, “Fancy Pants” opened his pro career with a 15-0 run, and after losing two of his last three, he decided some changes were in order. Now with ASA, Beerbohm hopes to get back on the winning track and showcase his unique skill set on a national stage.

ASA has quickly garnered a strong reputation in the MMA world, working with stars on the rise such as UFC fighters Chris Clements, Clifford Starks, Carlo Prater, and Matt Lucas, as well as established fighters like Karo Parisyan, Drew Fickett, Jorge Gurgel, and Zoila Gurgel.
