Another Ultimate Cage Wars has come and went and Troy Scheer’s Team Ring Shark went undefeated once again. The team, eminating from Saskatoon’s Scheer’s MMA, went 3-0 with Warren Phillips, Scott Richardson, and Jose Rodriguez all finishing their opponents. The team is now an undefeated 10-0 in Winnipeg competition.
In the main event, Ferrid Kheder from Joe Stevenson’s Cobrai gym in Victorville, California, knocked out Canuckles’ Graydon Tannas with a big right hook. Unfortunately, Winnipeg’s Chris Stranger lost his Winnipeg debut to Jay Alexander in a three round standup battle.
Round 1 starts with Graydon being knocked down right away but he bounces right back up. Kheder looks good with a big right hook and solid leg kicks. Tannas responds with multiple jabs. The fights engage in a clinch and Kheder has his back against the cage. Kheder, an Olympic judoka, sweeps Tannas’ leg and drops Tannas to the mat. From Tannas’ guard, Kheder drops some big right hands. Tannas scrambles back up but Kheder trips him back down and the round ends with Kheder grounding and pounding on Tannas.
Top MMA News scores it 10-9 Kheder.
Round 2 starts with Tannas charging at Kheder. As the two engage, Kheder takes Tannas down and lands in Tannas’ half guard. Kheder moves to full mount and is bumped off to side control before he is bucked off and Tannas is on top. Kheder strongarms Tannas to the mat and lands in side control. Kheder throws huge rights and tries for a Kimura.
Top MMA News scores it 10-9 Kheder
As round 3 starts, Tannas and Kheder are trading in the center of the cage. Kheder lands a huge right hand that knocks out Tannas. Kheder jumps on Tannas and throws a few more for good measure before the ref stops the fight. 











Tonight i won the main event at UCW in Canada by KO (punch) in the 3rd round.I knocked down my opponent (Graydon tannas) in the first round with a left hook then i controlled the fight on the ground.In the second round ,i took him down with a judo throw and controlled the fight on the ground.When we started the 3rd round,my coach told me to keep the fight on my feet to try to know him out,so i started the 3rd round with a couple of punches and one of them (a right over hand) knocked him out...
It was my 7th win streak and my second this year by KO.It was a great night for me,but not only for me....In the same card,my french friend ,Sebastien "the lynx" Garguier from Cobra Kai,won his fight by tapout (Guillotine) in the first round....
Thanx to all my team mates who help me everyday at CobraKai (Victorville),my coach Irvin Bounds,Joe Stevenson and all my sponsors: SIK,Tapout,Nogi and Jidal.

ULTIMATE CAGE WARS:
Article from http://www.ultimatecagewars.com/
Ferrid Kheder and Joe “Daddy” Stevenson to appear at Ultimate Cage Wars this Friday
Friday march thirteenth will see the arrival in Winnipeg of one of the most promising up and coming MMA fighters to come out of UFC’s submission specialist Joe “Daddy” Stevenson’s Cobra Kai gym. Ferrid Kheder, a former Olympic judoka, will come up against Graydon Tannis, who fights for the Cannuckles MMA gym in Calgary, at Ultimate Cage Wars 15. Accompanying Kheder to the cage will be Joe Stevenson himself, who recently battled Diego Sanchez at UFC 95 and oversees a great deal of Ferrid’s training in Victorville. The “Friday The Thirteenth Massacre”, which also features a comeback to the cage by Peguis born Chris Stranger, will be held at the Winnipeg Convention Center and promises to be a great night of fights.
Kheder comes to the UCW cage on the heels of success. Having recently knocked out Drew Fickett, a veteran of the UFC who has emerged victorious against such big names as Kenny Florian and Josh Koscheck, Kheder’s career in mixed martial arts seems destined to skyrocket. Born in France, to a Tunisian father and a Spanish mother, the multicultural Kheder, discovered a love of Judo at the tender age of four. After obtaining his black belt in 1990, the recently turned 34-year-old found success representing both France and Tunisia on an international level. Some of the highlights in his early career as a judoka include becoming a multiple national and world cup champion, winning “The Tournoi de Paris”, which is touted as being one of the toughest judo tournaments in the world and of course representing France at the Sydney Olympics in 2000. In 2005, After all of his achievements in judo, Ferrid decided that he was ready for a new challenge and the sport of MMA seemed like a logical progression for the welterweight Frenchman.
Ferrid Kheder is not just a physical athlete, he is highly intelligent and loves the technical aspects of his craft. He is a real believer in the training of his mind as well as his body, his masters degree in sports science from the University of Paris in 1999 shows the commitment that Ferrid has to the mental part of his training. It was his thoughtful nature that initially drew Kheder to MMA. Not only did Ferrid love the variety of fighting styles and new skills open to an MMA fighter, but he was also drawn to the sports relative purity. As he stated in a 2006 interview with Judo MMA “The truth always appears at the end of the fight. No one can deny it; it’s the stronger of the round who wins. It’s not always the case in terms of judo, where there are still some riggers.” MMA fighters are constantly evolving, trying to learn new techniques to surprise their opponents and this is a challenge that Kheder relishes. Although many of the skills used in the sport of Judo, in particular throwing, imbalance and submission are easily transferable to MMA, Ferrid has had to work on his movement and striking ability in particular in order to make the transition to professional mixed martial arts.
Ferrid’s quest for knowledge lead him to train and compete in Australia at the Lion’s Den and then make the move to America in august 2007, training with the famed team Quest so that he could expose himself to a higher quality of competition. After initially preparing for his fights with Muay Thai and grappling, in 2008 Kheder ventured to Joe Stevenson’s Cobra Kai in order to improve his boxing, kickboxing and above all his jiu-jitsu skills under the watchful eye of trainer Irvin Bounds. Widely regarded as the most useful style of fighting in MMA, Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu relies on submission moves, such a Joe Stevenson’s highly successful guillotine choke and works on the principal that you do not have to physically injure your opponent in order to be victorious. As a result of Kheder’s hard work, he has received a purple belt in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu to add to his considerable Judo skills and has posted a variety of victories ranging from knocking out Will Cunningham at “Cage Fighting Championship 1” in 2007, to submitting Elton Brown at Bushido last year using a rear naked choke. Without a doubt just as Ferrid’s range of skills continues to grow, so does the degree of success that he experiences in the cage. Kheder is however not concerned with the accumulation of titles and trophies; he views these things simply as by-products of well-contested bouts. He is above all concerned with being a good representative for both the sports of Judo and MMA, stating “I just want to prove that the intelligence of fighting comes first, not violence.”
The fighters and coaches at Cobra Kai, Kheder included, have spent much of the past few months helping Joe Stevenson prepare for his UFC fight in February, but since that event climaxed the attention has shifted to Ferrid. In addition to enlisting the help of his famous team mate, Kheder has continued to seek advice and direction from outside sources such as Olympic Judo medalist Jimmy Pedro and fellow competitor Sebastian Garguier, who will also compete at UCW 15. With a corner man like Joe Stevenson and offers for fights being proposed to Kheder on an international scale, it seems only a matter of time before Kheder, known to his fans as “The Hurricane”, achieves worldwide notoriety. His scheduled fight against Graydon Tannas this Friday night is sure to be fascinating and is not to be missed. Winnipeg MMA fans have a unique opportunity to see a high quality match which may prove to be a pivotal point in the careers of both Kheder and Tannas.

COACH IRVIN
JOE AND SEBASTIEN
"Le mérite appartient a l'homme qui se bat dans l'arène, le visage maculé de poussière, de sueur et de sang. Il persévère, s'égare, manque a nouveau son but, car il n'y a pas d'effort qui ne s'accompagne d'erreurs et d'échecs. Dans le meilleur des cas il rencontre le triomphe de la réussite; dans la pire hypothèse, s'il échoue, c'est pour avoir beaucoup osé. Si bien que sa place ne sera jamais parmi les âmes frileuses et timides qui ne connaissent ni la victoire ni la défaite."

So this time,evrybody gonna try to help him to make him ready to get the win....Joe looked already in shape this week and also confident,he told me he was really motivated for this fight and he would be ready to beat Diego Sanchez on february who gonna fight for his first time outside the country and under 155lbs....
My potential next fights:
1) Jan 30th ( C3 fights) or February 5th (Apocalypse).
2) End of february against Leonardo Gonzalez at Fitenite in Costa Rica.

Sebastien Garguier is coming back on january 6th in Victorville to train with me at Cobra Kai ,he will stay here more than 2 months and could fight again in Costa Rica for the next Fitenite and maybe in Canada at the next Ultimate cage wars.
HAPPY NEW YEAR TO EVERYBODY !!!!


I won my 2nd fight in Costa Rica in 2 weeks.I won by Rear Naked Choke (RNC) on the first round against Elton Brown. It was an opposition of style,Elton is one of the best panamerican greco roman wrestler (3rd at the panamerican championship 2008 and selectionned at the olympic games) and was really tall (6.2ft or 1m90). We started the fight with a couple of punches but quickly we decided to try to get the clinch. Elton took me down but couldn't control me on the ground,after 2mn,i took him down with an o-ouchi gari and finish the fight on the ground with a RNC (tapout at 3:20).
I m so happy to finish the year with a new win. I fought 8 times this year i won 6 times and lost 2 times by decision (2 closed decision in Jungle fight in Brazil).I wanna say "Merci" to all the people and sponsors who helped me this year : Irvin Bounds,Joe stevenson,Dan Henderson,Heath Sims,Cobra kai Victorville,Team Quest Temecula,Jess the Joker Liaudin,Alberto crane,Razi Dragon,Fightway,Antony Rea, la Snake team,SIK,NOGI and all the people who support me .....
