“Lowen Tynanes made his mixed martial arts (MMA) debut just over a year ago, but the 22 year old has already made a big impression fighting in Asia. First, he won a hard-fought decision victory in Japan and then he defeated Eduard Folayang in front of an audience of stunned Filipino fans in Manila.
The Hawaiian was best known back home as being a state wrestling champion but he is fast gaining a reputation in Asia. The high-profile win over Folayang brought him to the attention of ONE FC matchmaker Matt Hume and he is booked to make his debut in Kuala Lumpur next month….”

Sproat in ‘TUF’ final 28
Sale Sproat of Molokai has been selected as a finalist for the 17th edition of the reality television series “The Ultimate Fighter,” which will begin on Tuesday.
The 27-year-old Sproat is one of 28 mixed martial arts middleweights who will take part in the opening episode, which will be shown on FX at 6 p.m. in Hawaii. Half of that group will make one of two seven-man teams for the Ultimate Fighting Championship’s 13-week series, which will air at 7 p.m. on Tuesdays.
“I work hard and will do whatever it takes to be the next Ultimate Fighter winner,” Sproat is quoted as saying on theultimatefighter.com.
The team captains are UFC light-heavyweight champion Jon Jones and Chael Sonnen, who are to meet on April 27 in UFC 159 in New-ark, N.J.
Sproat is 3-1 as a professional. Three of the other 27 competitors have fewer pro fights – Californians Nicholas Hohring and Frederick Persons, as well as Jimmy Quinlan of Massachusetts, are all 3-0.
Sproat won his last bout, against Shannon Ritch of Arizona, by first-round submission on Dec. 15 in the inaugural Maui Fighting Championships card at the Maui Mall in Kahului.
Sproat, a former amateur champion in the Destiny series, claimed the bull-riding title at last year’s Maka-wao Rodeo.
“The quality of guys we have this season (is) unbelievable,” UFC president Dana White said in a release. “From the fights to get into the house, to every single fight this season, I think the talent is some of the best I’ve ever seen on this show. We’re going to end up with some really good guys in the 185-pound division.”
Maui County has produced a previous winner on ‘TUF’ – Kendall Grove of Wailuku was the champion of the third season, in 2006.
“My hat’s off to him. I just hope the best for him,” Grove said of Sproat on Thursday.
“He’s tough. He’s a bull rider, and you can feel that when he’s rolling with you. He’s the best guy on Molokai. You have to be pushed if you want to get better.”

StrikeForce: Marquardt vs Saffiedine
Couture Earns Controversial Decision
Ryan Couture, the 30-year-old son of UFC hall of famer Randy Couture, upset former EliteXC lightweight champion K.J. Noons by split decision in a hotly contested preliminary battle at 155 pounds. Two of the three cageside judges — Nick Atwood and Jim Lambert — saw it for Couture by identical 29-28 counts; a third, Bobby Higdon, cast a dissenting 30-27 nod for Noons.
Couture (6-1, 6-1 Strikeforce) executed an intelligent game plan against the superior boxer, as he kept Noons off-balance with a variety of kicks from the outside.
Noons (11-6, 3-4 Strikeforce) answered with crisp, effective counterpunches and nearly finished it midway through the second round, when he clipped Couture in close quarters, set him on wobbly legs and swarmed with heavy artillery on the cage. Couture survived the volley, regained his wits and resumed his tactical attack.
Noons delivered the more decisive blows throughout the 15-minute affair, though he was too often caught in between, waiting for Couture to make the first move. In the end, his lack of sustained aggression cost him. Noons has dropped four of his last five bouts.
