Caged Brutality ReviewEvent Review: Divinity-Caged Brutality Owen Hill over Forger Craftsman Via Submission
In the first fight of the night we had a very dominant preformance that was put out by hill and showed great promise from such a young prospect. The fight started out with just Craftsman looking as if he was uncomfortable from the start he was never able to set up his own gameplan and fell victom to his opponents stradegy. Basically this was a good fight to show off the dominance this fighter can possess when hes out there in the cage but can he continue it only time will tell.
Gream Shroom over Lowe Madlangtuta Via Decision
Moving on to the second fight of the night we had what i seem to believe was the most i have seen a guy get beat without giving up in a fight. Shroom came into the ring with victory on his mind and he sure got it in a very brutal fashion putting on a pretty good beating however he did not finish. Lowe showed great heart out there getting caught a few times and was dropped and also cut but he did not let this phase him he just recovred put up his gloves and fought like a true combatant of the cage. Maybe Shroom does not have great KO power but untill we see him fight again I shall give Lowe a tip of the hat for taking the beating that he did.
Austin Taylor over Micheal Campbell Via Submission
Rolling on to the third match we had a battle of two guys who are no stranger to the cage however this fight did not hit the one minute mark. Campbell worked his gameplan well however his gameplan just so happned to fall right into his opponents strong suits. Campbell was looking for the takedown to advance position and control the fight,but unfourtunatly Taylor is a Sub artist and Campbell was caught pretty quickly a dispatched of with a perfect armbar that he set himself up for.
Max Kelly over Hack Poll Via TKO
Well as the next to combatants stepped into the ring I am not sure if the crowd was ready for what was to take place in the cage. Kelly came in with almost what seemed as a grudge as he came out at his opponent full tilt not even letting his opponent last 30 seconds in the cage. Poll came out with three failed attempts for the takedown which also affected the tempo I think made him more predictiable so evantually he was timed out and caught on the jaw then evantually finished off in brutal fashion. I must give Kelly credit for putting up a fast KO but to attract some true attention I think that he will need to put a string of wins together.
Zap Brannigan over Zacch Kamania Via Sub
As we move on to the next fight we would come to see not only another sub but yet another fight not even lasting a minute in the cage. Brannigan in this fight in my opinion has looked as good as he ever has and he fought to his potential I believe we have seen a fighter that can only get better. Kamania came into this fight not really prepared and it showed he shought for lazy takedowns and when he was takendown himself just did not show that much effort maybe he was just outmatched maybe not but we will see. Brannigan has set himself up in my eyes to have a tough match up next to see what he is really made of. As far as Kamania goes we will see what he can do against his next opponent i wish him the best of luck.
Robert E Conan over Jack Watts Via KO
Robert E Conan had one of the more impressive fights here tonight standing with his opponent and literally knocking him out before he was able to even get in one punch. Conan from the bell may have set up this preformance with the big hand he landed at the beginning that left Watts injured and went into protective mode just trying to last. Watts came up with nothing and dissapointed me however every fighter has his bad fight maybe this was one of those but Watts should be embarssed and angry and should look for some revenge rather sooner then later. Conan though is up for a strong match seeng as in if he can put this preformance out again he will be a serious thought for contender.
Muay Thai over Nice Guy Via TKO
In the next bout we had another early finsish but not quite as fast as the others we were beginning to become acustomed to. In this fight we had what seemed to be Guy setiing the pace engaging in the clinch then after he was done with that the takedown and ground game was to come but his good fortune was soon to change. Thai seemed maybe likehe was weathering the storm letting Guy have his way untill he got up then he unleashed his wrath that left Guyon the mat. Guy showed a very good agressive fight style here that a lot of fans will like but will not always win him the fight.
Norwegian Viking over Uncle Nasty Via decision
Well in this fight we had what I think looks like a fighter that tired himself out trying to finish too quickly. Nasty came out in this fight and worked his stradegy got the takedown and tried to get the sub. It looked like he had this fight won but Viking showed some very good poise and stayed come and fought through these to get to the end of the round but this is where it turned for the worst in Vikings favor. The next rounds this is where viking showed his bread and butter by landing with crisp strikes and winning the judges over with a preformance that should earn him a lot of respect moving forward. Nasty though is not a bad fighter if he can regroup from this in a good fashion then this loss will be just a stepping stone on his way to a eveantual title fight.
Ivan Orouke over Tommy Morrison Via TKO
Well in all i have to say in this fight was wow what a preformance by Ivan tonight he really came in and made a big statement with his win tonight. Ivan came in having his debut with this org and just owned it having a answer for everything that his opponent throwed him just bobbing and weaving through everything and putting up the pace when it was his turn to counter. Tommy though gave a good effort its not that he was bad but yet his opponent prooved to be better in the cage tonight seeing that everything he threw just did not make contact but do not let this fight tell you tommy isnt good in my eyes hes still a contender to come its all about the bounce back.
Jose Sanchez over Lion Takanori Via Sub
What a great effort put out by these two tonight what a shame that either of these honorable top teir fighters had to lose tonight. Sanchez came out with some heat not hesatating to set the pace at all having cut him not that far into the fight. Lion though however did not hesitate himself landing a cut himself showing all of these younger combatants what real brawl looked like however it soon seemed to falter for Lion as he took some heavy knocks that hurt and it finally ended in his sub. Sanchez though showed why he deserves to be a top contender by just skillfully beating Lion to every punch and getting out of the way I think someday he could be #1 p4p. One last thing is Lion gave it his all tonight and i think deserves a tip of the hat all though he did not make it to a decision he showed a good example of sticking it out as long as he can and earned a spot back in this org if he ever needs it.
