 Florida Fight Squad "Of the Night" Awards Recap!
FFS 8: Sebring
Venue: Country Western Bar
Fight of the Night
Peguero Jean "Vit Chat" Philippe (2-0) vs Jason Cole (0-3)
Winner: Peguero Jean "Vit Chat" Philippe
Decision (Unanimous) / 3 minutes
The former Haitian soccer player Peguero Jean Philippe tried to end the fight early, & almost did, when he landed an uppercut from hell that sent the UK's Jason Cole flying into the crowd.
As he fell through the crowd, beers & cigarettes joined him as he hit the hardwood floor.
The ref nearly stopped the fight right there to avoid the audience from stomping Cole out for spilling their shit but surprisingly everyone was so into the fight no one seemed all that bothered.
Cole managed to grab one of Philippe's legs & pulled him into his guard which bought him some time to recover his senses.
Philippe threw punches with reckless abandon but Cole managed to either block or dodge nearly every strike.
Interestingly enough, it was Cole who landed the most strikes on the bottom with the most notable being a nice upkick.
Ultimately, Philippe was given the decision as he almost finished the fight & kept the dominant position.
Word is Philippe sprained or possibly broke something in his hand from hitting the wooden floor so many times.
We couldn't confirm that with him as he doesn't speak much English.
He just pointed at the bar & said "Eske mwen ka gen yon bye?".
We handed him a few cold ones & he was all good after that.
Knockout of the Night
"Old" Jesse Custer (2-0)
KO (Punch) / 58 seconds
As Custer's opponent moonwalked to the tunes of Willie Nelson playing in the background shortly before the fight began, it gave Custer all the motivation he needed to knock some sense into him.
As a Texan, Custer knows you don't disrespect the timeless classics of Willie Nelson with some silly dance especially in a Country Western Bar.
From the opening bell, Custer punished his opponent's head & body with punches.
Custer split him open with a straight right & countered a sloppy clinch attempt with a massive hook that knocked his opponent out before he hit the floor.
Custer's opponent woke up in a daze right as "Mammas Don't Let Your Babies Grow Up To Be Cowboys" was finishing up on the jukebox.
Submission of the Night
"The Gypsy Warrior" Bobby Minnagh (1-2)
Kimura / 48 seconds
Cousin to the PFC BW Champ, Seamus "The Gypsy Prince" MacNamara, "The Gypsy Warrior" Bobby Minnagh came into the fight game with some big expectations of him.
Unfortunately for him, he was 0-2 going into this fight.
With the thought of further disgracing his family, he was determined to bring home a W & that he did!
Bobby started the match off with a powerful takedown which had them ending up fighting mostly under a pool table hampering both fighter's mobility & ability to get up.
After working some ground & pound, avoiding a Guillotine, & working his way to half guard, Minnagh managed to to free his trapped foot & locked up a Kimura for the submission victory.
