 In association with Ace of Spades clothing, Highland Island brings you HI 11: Cash Vs MacDonald.

 

Will MacDonald (4-1) Vs Johnie Cash (6-1) – Bantamweight Title The inaugural Highland Island Bantamweight title was on the line in this one where two fighters with proven knockout power went head to head. Cash goes for the clinch early and lands some nice shots but MacDonald is able to break the tie up and counter with a takedown attempt. The ground game from this point on was just too much from MacDonald, who lands some nice shots but uses the opportunity to pass to the full mount where he starts dropping bombs. Cash is trying his best to hang on but he can’t handle the pressure, forcing the referee to put a stop to the contest.  

Will MacDonald wins at 3:56 of Round 1 by TKO (Strikes) – NEW Bantamweight Champion   

Figgy Pudding (0-1) Vs Kenji Koko (3-0) –

IFC Fight Night 1 Review

ISLAND FC, Fight Organization, New York
Company profile by

 This was a parallel event with Island FC 9, with 3 title fights and the "who is who" of MMA present in the Hayashi's Lounge, a venue filled with 2000 roaring fans and a night filled wih emotions and drama...10 fights 8 finishes,lets break it down for you:



185lbs TITLE Rick James vs Jonny Bones Junior Rick controlled the clinch briliantly ,very strong he keept the fight in the clinch and made Bones trade with him they were both landing, but the elbows from Rick were the ones causing the most damage,opening a gash over Bones eye ,it looked grossome, and the fight was stoped by the doctor with 3 sec left in round 2.... 



265+lbs TITLE (KO of the Night) Afonso Cabral vs Billy Joe Afonso is an absolutly beast,the promotion super-heavyweight champ and p4p king, made a statement with this win....Billy didnt even know what happend it was fast and furious,imagine a 300lbs gorila grabing someone clinching your head with the left hand and unload ,big right upercuts....thats what hapend here....the insurance police on the 265+lbs division went considerably up with the way Cabral is finishing

Nice to finally be able to speak to you again mr. Hoi ! I must say, it has been an amazing journey for you the last few months! What can you say about your ITFL experience? 

 

I fought at a weight division two divisions above what I should fight at and still did pretty decent. I can't say I was happy with some of the results obviously, but it is what it is. I'm glad that I am back at 145lbs now, the division where I belong and want to be the new king. 

 

Speaking about 145lbs, after ITFL you came back to Syn to honor your contract and would go on to win your first two by unanimous decision. Did those performances please you? 

 

I don't consider wins that aren't fi

The Kid who went the extra mile

Fighter profile of Getzat Downe by Fergs uK

I thought it would be a good idea to show the world, what the youth of today is capable of. Youngsters these days get a bad press from society on a whole. They're lazy, arrogant, ignorant, self-entitled and above all disrespectful... Well that's what the older generation want you to believe.

 

Enter Getzat Downe. This ex-homeless eighteen year old was spotted chasing down a bag snatcher, in the alleyway outside a local gym. While the other members of the public stood and recorded the mugging on their cell phones, Downe sprang into pursuit of the assailant. He caught the thief within 30 yards and pinned him to the wall. A knife appeared and Downe managed to just avoid being stabbed. Enough was enough, he had tried to be civil and just ask for the bag returning to it's owner. In what many onlookers describe as a flash and twirl, Downe roundhouse kicked the guy in the jaw, knocking him out cold. He returned the bag and politely declined a reward. Mary Nichol, the woman
