Ramunas

"Shootfighters" MMA club instructor Artemij Sitenkov showed fantastic grappling ability in the co-main event at Bushido Challenge 2 : A New Dawn 3th April in Nottingham UK, as he quickly submitted James Doolan from Scotland with a rare flying armbar.Sitenkov began by immediately attempting to jump guard.As the Doolan resisted dropping to the deck,the Lithuanian shifted his hips and flew out to the side, taking Dinky Ninja’s arm with him to score the tap after only 34 seconds. Congratulations to Artemij winning european bantamweight title !!!

I fought this guy at the sapo tournament last month, I got dq'ed for a straight ankle lock in the INTERMEDIATE division, obviously he should'nt have been in my division with his experience, nice finish btw.....

Sid_Justice

are you sure intermediate and advanced divisions at 70kg were not amalgamated?

There was amalgamated intermediate and advanced divisions under 70 kg because of few competitors , he was 60 kg at that moment

No, by the sounds of it they had an advanced person fighting in the intermediate section under intermediate rules. This is safer than having intermediates fighting advanced rules. Hope that's the last of it, you should have known the rules and not done an illegal technique and got DQed. You should be happy you got to compete (and you presumably did very well) against Artemij who seems to be one of the best grapplers operating out of Ireland at the moment who is a european title holder in MMA.

This thread is about support and recognition for Artemij's achievement not some bickering about a mickey mouse grappling tournament you feel you got screwed in.

Whilst I think this thread is best kept to congratulating Artemij on his recent win.

I think you will find there was no rules meeting at the SAPO tournament amongst other problems, but even had there been, straight ankle locks are allowed in intermediate divisions so you are being a little harsh Sid Justice (if that is your real name?? :rolleyes:)

mickey mouse grappling tournament

I assume you dont train with Sapo either as they might not look too kindly on your quote.

Congrats to Artemij again and Im sure he will no doubt perform very well in the advanced division of his next tournament.

Sid_Justice

No Dave, Sidney Raymond Eudy is my real name. Only joking Kevin Lally here . Is BREDNEP one of your students? No rules meeting? Well I suppose it makes it more understandable he made the mistake then, lends more credit to the disney like description of the competition. Nothing personal against SAPO, just sounded like an unregulated tournament. Unregulated tournaments don't do anyone any favours.

David Jones

Thanks for the courtesy of using your real name Kevin I wish everyone on here had to. Yes Barry is one of my students and was rightly pissed off along with a lot of other people at the SAPO tournament. I think enough has been said about that particular day.

Big congrats to Artemij again, Doolin is a legit danger, I have seen him fight a few times. I also remember reffing when Artemij catching Conor McGregor with an ankle lock early in round 1 in a Cage of Truth, he as a nice attacking submission game and its nice to see another title hit our shores.

Artemij Sitenkov vs Paul McVeigh are confirmed at Bushido Challenge 3. The show on July 31st will take place at Harvey Hadden, Nottingham, England. This match up will decide once and for all who is the Bantamweight King of Europe

Hey guys,

Thanks for the link that armbar was unreal!!

Just letting you know that we interviewed Artemij yesterday to talk about the fight and his upcomming war with Paul McVeigh. He is a great guy and a very humble fighter. You can check it out in the "MMA news from other sites" sticky.

Thanks.
