Canberra Cage Fighter held its first event CCF #1 on Sunday night, and what it lacked in ticket sales, it made up for in quality of fights.

265+lbs – Terry Thunder v Adam Eater
The first Undercard bout was between two giants, in the 265+lbs Division, with Terry “Down Under” Thunder (1-4-0) taking on Adam “Ant” Eater (1-0-0). With Thunder’s poor form taken into account, this one wasn’t expected to last the distance, and Eater made sure of that when he lands a massive elbow from side control, then follows it up with three more before the Ref stepped in to save Thunder. 2:33 Round 1 TKO (Strikes) to Adam Eater, who will go on to fight for the Title at CanCage 3.

205lbs – Jordan Jackson v Barry McKinnon
Next up we have the Number One contenders fight for the 205lbs division, between “The Joker” Jordan Jackson and “The Hand Grenade” Barry McKinnon. Interesting fight as both these fighters, fight for Buster Boundoz, and this is the debut fight for both. But after cutting Jackson in the first 1 ½ minutes, then unleashing with a big right hand that saw Jackson flat on his back, the writing was on the wall. McKinnon toyed with him from there, waving him back to his feet, only to take him down into guard. At 3:56 McKinnon maintaining the dominant position and working Jackson, he successfully locked in the Kimura and that was enough, with Jackson tapping out after hearing the elbow go “SNAP!”

145lbs – Carl Chan v Dun Fighten (Title)
With a small pool of fighters in the 145lbs division, two fighters from the Big Buddha stables in Carl “Jackie” Chan and Dun “Cowboy” Fighten went toe to toe for the Title. Both these fighters are Blue belts in BJJ, and very evenly matched as the first round showed, with ever action being countered by their opponent. The second round was very one sided with Chan dominating Fighten. The third round was as close as the first, and it could have gone either way. With the final bell, it would be a Judges decision. And with two Judges scoring the fight 29:28 to Fighten, and the third Judge scoring 29:29, via Majority Decision Dun “Cowboy” Fighten walks away with the Title, but knowing he was in a great fight.

205lbs – Jaxon Bailey v Bubby Brown (Title)
“Nightmare” Jaxon Bailey (2-2-0) taking on the debutant in “Bad Boy” Bubby Brown. This was Solid Muay Thai v BJJ Blue belt. In the first minute there was counter after counter. Just after the 1 minute mark, Bailey got into position for a sub attempt, but that was quickly countered by Brown who worked some nice Ground and Pound from close in, in the half guard position. At the 2 minute mark, Brown was just maintaining position, but then as Bailey tried to get back to half guard, Brown manages to take his back, and as the 3 minute mark ticks by Brown locks in the rear naked choke, and Bailey passes out. 3:29 Round 1 Submission by Rear Naked Choke to Bubby Brown. SUBMISSION OF THE NIGHT

135lbs – Ray Richardson v Warrock Warner (Title)
And then we came to our Co-Main Event. The 135lbs Title match betweeni Ray “Razor” Richardson (2-0-0) and “Black Sheep” Warrock Warner (0-0-0). The first round was anyones for the taking and it appeared that Warner had it covered by the end. Through the mid stages Richardson did dominate for a part, however overall Warner had it for sure. Round 2 started the same way Round 1 did, with Richardson playing to his wrestling strengths, shooting in, and going for a takedown, which he landed. By the 2 minute mark of the second round, the fans were standing and cheering both fighters on, knowing that they are both giving their all. Round 2 was very tight. So tight that a flip of the coin could decide who won the round. Unfortunately for Warner Round 3 was all one way traffic, and it wasn’t his way.Richardson dominated the third round, however couldn’t finish the job, so the final decision went to the Judges. Ray Richardson won the Title by Unanimous Decision, after three great rounds. FIGHT OF THE NIGHT

185lbs – Ricky Winter v Frank Inator (Title)
To wrap up the evenings entertainment, was the fight that everyone came to see. Ricky “The Answer” Winter (3-0-0) against Frank “The Tank” Inator (0-0-0). This one was over before it began. Inator shot in for takedown attempts three times, and three times he was repelled. The third time Winter made sure of it, with a Jab, cross, Leg kick combo, that cut Inator open viciously. Another combo then another combo and Inator was out on his feet. With that the bloodlust kicked in for Winter, and he finished Inator off with a Left, right, uppercut combo, and watched as Inator fell flat on his face, breaking his nose, eyes wide open, but out like a light. 1:14 Round 1 KO (Punches) victory to Ricky Winter and the new 185lbs Title Holder

With only 217 fans in attendance, not a lot of people had the pleasure of watching these events unfold, however those that did will be talking about it for weeks.
