TROID REVIEW: Forais Chruthaíonn IV
Hey everyone, it was another fantastic event for Troid last Sunday with the 205lbs title on the line in the main event and a whole host of other talent involved as well. Here we round up the results and what happened during the fights
Levasqua def. Leon via Majority Decision
Bit of an odd battle here as Leone took Levasqua to the ground, only for Levasqua to overrun him with submission attempts. In a fight that could have gone either way, Levasqua did enough to convince the judges to give him the win.
Be def. The Lion via Kimura in Round 2
The Lion dominated Be in the first round, using the clinch to full effect. Unfortunately, he could not maintain that in the second round. Be gained the clinch in the second and after The Lion hit him with a few shots, Be took him to the ground where he maintained his position to lock in a kimura and earn him a win.
Milligan def. Wallhead via TKO (Strikes) in Round 1
Milligan showed no mercy in this fight as he used the clinch to take Wallhead down before unleashing a devastating barrage of strikes to finish the fight. No more needs to be said other than Milligan will be looking up the division to see who else he can refigure with his GnP.
Ming def. Pierre via TKO (Punches) in Round 1
Ming was in lethal form here, taking Pierre down before stalling to drain Pierre. Once the fight was stood up, Ming unleashed a deadly combo of Jab-Hook-Hook to down Pierre before the referee jumped in to stop the fight.
Svensson def. Opie via KO (Head Kick) in Round 1
Svensson had this fight controlled from start to finish. Opie never threw a single strike, while in comparison, Svensson didn’t miss a single shot. Svensson knocked Opie down with an uppercut before waving him to his feet. As soon as Opie was up, he hit him with a body shot before unleashing a devastating head kick that earned him KO of the Night honours.
Borg def. Yoshidas via KO (Punches) in Round 3
The rematch between these two after their first bout ended in a draw. This fight was another good bout between these two. The first round was close, with both fighters staking a claim for the round. Aoki Yoshidas took control of the 2nd round and as it seemed Yoshidas would close out a decision win, Borg knocked him down with a HUGE combo. As Yoshidas got back to his feet, Borg hit another huge combo to knock Yoshidas out cold! It will be interesting to see how Yoshidas recovers from this.
Riberio def. Matthews via Armbar in Round 1
Riberio made short work of Matthews in spectacular fashion. After a brief opening period with both fighters feeling each other out, Riberio quickly gained the clinch, pulled guard and then executed an armbar to pick up the win and the Sub of the Night bonus for his fantastic display of BJJ.
Williams def. Clark via TKO (Strikes) in Round 3
A fantastic battle here between two skilled fighters which earned Fight of the Night. Williams had the first two rounds won in the eyes of the commentator before finishing Clark in the third. A thunderous head kick rocked Clark, and soon after, Williams cracked Clark with a huge right hand which sent Clark to his knees. After a few more shots the referee called the fight off to give Williams the win.
Blackburn def. Wells via KO (Punches) in Round 1
This fight lasted less than a minute, and you could see how it would go within the opening seconds with Blackburn opening up a cut quickly on Wells. Just as Wells looked winded, Blackburn unleashed a monster combo which put Wells out with immediate effect. With another win under his belt, Williams is looking at the title in the near future after keeping his perfect MMA Career intact.
Já¹hanssá¹n def. Hammer via TKO (Cut) in Round 1 to remain the Light-Heavyweight Champion!
Is there anybody in the 205lbs division right now who can challenge Já¹hanssá¹n? The guy has been dominating in every fight he has fought in Troid, and he showed no signs of letting up here. I said in the preview that Hammer will only win if he can bring Já¹hanssá¹n to the mat, and Hammer couldn’t do it. The champ displayed good wrestling to keep it on the feet, giving Hammer a nasty cut which got to the point that the doctor has to call off the fight. It is a shame for Hammer, but a big win for the champ.
That is it from me here at Troid HQ, join me next time where I will be Previewing Troid: Forais Chruthaíonn V to take place next Sunday!
