Main Events: Middleweight Championship Fight “Handsome” Pat O’Malley looked like he was in trouble at the start of the first round when Karl Turek pinned him up against the cage and started to battle with a series of knees. O’Malley returned with body strikes and some knees of his own and the two ended up switching positions up against the cage throughout most of the round. The two fighters were eventually broken up by the referee and O’Malley saw his opening. Turek shot in and O’Malley unleashed, getting Tureks backside were he applied a stern rear naked choke forcing Turek to tap out at 3:59 in the first round. LaSavage Vs. Figueroa Unfortunately, “Savage” Dan LaSavage wasn’t given much of a chance against Strasser’s Ismael Figueroa. Figueroa immediately took the fight into his own hands, dodging a punch from LaSavage and slamming him into the ground. LaSavage attempted for a guillotine but missed on the attempt. From there he took a beating as his opponent beat him relentelessly. LaSavage managed to get some control to slow the carnage and landed an up-kick that allowed him to get off his back and up onto his feet. LaSavage tried to work a takedown on Figueroa but failed and ended up on his back again. From there LaSavage was able to do little but almost cinched an arm bar from guard, but was once again unsuccessful. Figueroa put more punishment to LaSavage, as he curled up like a turtle and protected his head, unable to answer any of Figueroa’s hits. The referee came in and stopped the fight at 4:22 seconds, giving Figueroa another win to his untarnished record. Fight of the Night The Fight of the Night goes to “Danny Boy” Downes and Jake “The Bad” Omen. The fight was unkind to Omen who constantly ate numerous punches but showed his heart in staying in the fight, consistently looking for a takedown that he never got. The first round started with a quick exchange but Downes pinned Omen up against the cage. From their Downes threw several knees and punches and elbows with Omen being able to do little back. Omen attempted several takedowns, but Downes was defended and continued without mercy. The second didn’t look much better for Omen as he was already battered, but still had the power to go on. Downes unleashed once again, dominating with brutal elbows to Omens face. Omen had little if any return other than a takedown attempt that he ended up paying for, as Downes beat his Omen to the ground and the referee had to intervene. Downes took the victory at 2:42 in the second. Knockout of the Night Donovan “Recon” Foley wins the knockout of the night when all he had to do was walk in the ring size up his opponent and wait for the bell to sound. And when that bell rang Foley moved in and threw a solid right hook and connected just right and put Jeremy Hemrich down and out of the fight at 12 seconds into the round. Submission of the Night Submission of the Night belongs to Mike Biddle in his grappling match with Angel Quinones. Quinones thought it would be a good idea to jump into guard at the start of the match but Biddle proved him wrong.. Biddle quickly locked in a guillotine choke and submitted his opponent 46 seconds into the match.

... Two amateurs with a 0-0 record, a quick knockout is not phenomenal. A quick knockout with two guys knowing what they're doing, way more impressive. IMO. |

... Can anyone do a recap on the Chico vs Seth fight? I figured there would have been a recap of all the main fights. |

Chico/Seth Chico kept tagging Seth with punches on the feet, while Seth had a few unsuccessful takedown attempts throughout the fight. Seth pretty much fell into Chico's game the entire fight. At the end of the first round Chico closed the distance and Seth managed to take his back after a slip by Chico, but time ran out before he could go for anything. Other than that one slip up by Chico, he controlled everything on the feet. Of course I would have liked to see Seth win seeing as he is a teammate/friend, but props to Chico for keeping the fight where he wanted it. He kept his distance pretty well and caught Seth with some good combinations, winning all 3 rounds. |
