Kaieteur Sports – The Guyana Police Force’s Mixed Martial Arts team comprising four athletes and Sensei Troy Bobb, made a courtesy call to Acting Commissioner of Police Mr Clifton Hicken on Wednesday after competing in the ‘Ruff n Tuff’ Mix Martial Arts Competition that was held in Trinidad.
The champion athletes with four goals from four contests are Police Corporal Sheneze Bobb, Lance Corporals Carl Ramsay and Ijaz Cave, and RC Anevia Frank.
Over the past two years, the four athletes have represented Guyana at various International Mixed Martial Arts Federation (IMMAF) events, winning two (2) silver medals for the country during that time.

The medal-winning Police athletes continue to demonstrate discipline, commitment, and drive to the sport, which has led to them having clean records in accordance with IMMAF anti-doping rules and regulations.

In his congratulatory message, the Force Development Officer, Mr Colin Boyce, said that the Mixed Martial Arts team has been doing exceptionally well, and he is proud of the talented team’s dedication and hard work.
In their upcoming CAC games next month, slated to be held in Colombia, Mr Boyce said he is optimistic that the ranks will repeat such success.
For the recent competition in Trinidad, the Guyana Police Force sponsored the team in collaboration with Fight Central. According to Fight Central’s supervisor Ms Rebecca Ganesh, they were ecstatic to support the GPF at the competition in Trinidad.
“We believe that the Guyana Police Force is the absolute partner, where its coaches and athletes always display a high level of discipline and regimentation,” she posited.
She further noted that as Guyana’s First MMA Promotional Group, Fight Central stands firm in ensuring that the National Federation and, by extension, its athletes and coaches have a solid platform to showcase the fast-growing global sport.
Fight Central’s Manager, Mr Michael Singh indicated that the company has always proactively supported the Guyana Police Force in its endeavours, especially in the sporting arena.
“We remain steadfast in supporting the Police athletes. The first time we supported them was in 2017…..we are working with the international and local MMA Federation to ensure Guyana has a competent body to handle all MMA affairs,” Singh commented.
He said Fight Central looks forward to more such collaboration with the GPF.
Top Cop Mr Clifton Hicken congratulated the athletes and expressed his gratitude for their performance. Commissioner Hicken said the Senior Administration of the GPF will continue to support such initiatives, which will, in turn, build capacity in the area of sports.
Commissioner Hicken charged the ranks to continue to do their best and excel at the sport.
