 World Combat 1 Review
What an event we just had at World Combat 1! We saw the beginning of a new organisation and some new champions crowned. Here is how the fights went down.
Bruce “American Wailer” Marley vs. Miko “Tiny” Blancia
A big fight for 2 mixed martial artists in the first ever World Combat fight did not fail to deliver. However, it only took 1 failed takedown attempt by Blancia and this fight was over. Marley picking up a devastating submission victory by way of triangle choke in the 31st second of round 1. Marley also picked up the submission of the night award which was well deserved after that clinical display.
Randy “Pan” Goatboy vs. Manuel “Mad Man” Marcus
Next on the cards, we saw 2 bantamweight fighters fight it out to make an impression on the WCC division. Manuel Marcus was hoping to make the most in his in-ring debut, but it was all Randy Goatboy in this contest. After missing with 3 takedown attempts early on, Marcus had no hope after copping some hard hooks and uppercuts. But it was the devastating body hook and spinning back fist combination which rocked Marcus! Followed by a hard-hitting head kick in to a vicious beat-down saw the referee putting a stop to this contest 55 seconds in to round 1. What a display of confidence and skill Marcus put on for us tonight!
Mike “Tore” Spacion vs. Clay Tyson
The third fight of the evening saw the battle of 2 super heavyweights who were making their in-ring debut. And these big fighters exceeded expectations in this technical fight. Right from the get-go these fighters were on the ground working their grappling skills. However the definitive moment in the fight came at around 2:30 in round 1 when Mike Spacion threw a textbook 1-2 leg kick which cut Clay Tyson. From there on Spacion was throwing punches with no response. After a big 1-2 from Spacion, Clay Tyson lost his feet and went crashing to the ground. Getting back to his feet, Tyson was wobbling around the cage in the effort to remember that he was in a fight. In 1 more attempt to finish this fight, a massive hook was the story-ender to this fight as Tyson went crashing down followed by a devastating ground and pound which ended this contest 3:18 in round 1. What a beat-down we saw in an entertaining performance!
“Prince” Shoddy Body vs. William “Jack” Sparrow
After a great start to the debut event of World Combat, our next bout saw the welterweights step it up as Shoddy Body looked to make it 5 from 5 in against the debutant in William Sparrow. In what started as a slow but technical contest, this fight changed gears as Shoddy Body finally lands a take-down after 3 stuffed attempts earlier on. Once Body had ground control over Sparrow, it was basically a coaching session as Body transitioned extremely well. Body eventually slips in a kimura from side control which pops Sparrow’s arm out of place, clearly forcing him to tap-out giving Shoddy Body his 5th straight win. Sparrow was working well from his feet but just couldn’t handle the Jiu Jitsu disadvantage. What a great fight and I’m sure Shoddy Body’s camp will be highly satisfied with the victory.
Lou “The Rabbit” Hole vs. Dennis “Seriously” Mac
Reaching the mid-way point of this card, 2 welterweights look to establish themselves in the World Combat Championship. The fight starts off with some quick action as Dennis Mac begins to land multiple hits on Lou Hole. The first minute and a half looks to be all Dennis Mac, however all of that can change in an instant. Which it did, and all it took was 1 stiff jab to cut Mac open. Mac tries to counter which is followed by a massive right by Hole which knocks Mac down. After a stand-up Hole lands a jab-hook combination which gives him a second knock-down. From there on it was a one-sided affair as Mac continuously got himself in to deeper water. Eventually Hole worked himself in to delivering a tight rear naked choke which puts Dennis Mac unconscious. Giving Lou Hole the submission victory.
Scotty Fartsmells vs. Ryan “Bombshell” Reynolds
In what seems like a tight contest, these two bantamweights definitely put on a great performance! These two athletes fought it out as if it was a kickboxing match which was definitely a crowd pleaser. Mid-way in round 2 is where we saw Fartsmells gain the upper-hand, landing leg kick after leg kick. I’m surprised Reynolds’s leg stayed attached as Fartsmells continually ripped in to his leg. He eventually changes it up to a high-kick, completely catching Reynolds off guard which saw the beginning of the end. Landing a body kick followed by a crunching head kick, this fight was done and dusted in the late stages of round 1. With a total of 23/23 leg kicks delivered by Fartsmells, Reynolds won’t be able to recognise his thigh for the next week! What a fight we just witnessed and we hope to see more from these 2 athletes in the near future.
Rape “Sox” Alarm vs. Ugly “Mrbig” Punk
The next fight had 2 heavyweights fight it out in the hopes of stepping closer to a title fight. The opening stages saw Alarm using Punch as a punching dummy, landing multiple strikes without a landing response. After landing a takedown, Punk tries to work his advantage on top but fails to do so as Alarm works extremely hard from the bottom, dodging all strikes and working the submissions, however none of them are successful. The fighters stick to the ground for the remaining minutes of the 1st round which saw Alarm dominating position. The beginning of round 2 basically continued from round 1, with Punk taking down Alarm and Alarm working the transitions perfectly. After the referee stands them back up, you’d think Punk would learn and not take Alarm down again… Wrong, Punk goes for another takedown which results in more domination from the bottom by Alarm. After 16 attempts… 16 attempts! Alarm finally gets Punk into the perfect position to work for a guillotine, giving Alarm the victory in 3:33 of the second round.
William Williams vs. Damian Koza
Now we have moved on to the first ever title match here in the World Combat Championship. Which of these light heavyweights will go down in history as the first ever WCC Light Heavyweight Champion? Round 1 saw Koza coming out as the aggressor, clinching up and throwing a bombardment of elbows and knees, eventually cutting Williams with a nice elbow. The remainder of the round stays in the clinch with Koza putting on a Muay Thai display, giving him the first round. Round 2 kicks off the same way round 1 ended, back to the clinch. With Williams trying to land at least 1 hit on to Koza, he fails to do so as both fighter struggles to land a significant strike within the opening minutes of round 2. Finally, Williams breaks the clinch and this fight is back to a standing contest which will favour Williams. And it did so, with Williams landing multiple shots before the round ends, giving him the approval for round 2. With 1 round each, leading in to the 3rd round, Koza once again goes back into the clinch where Koza becomes relentless with strikes! Rocking him after a series of 4 elbow shots and eventually finishing him off with another massive elbow shot! Declaring Damian Koza the new light heavyweight champion!
Sam “monster” MacLeod vs. Dick Wad
The next bout saw 2 fighters who started off their career fairly successfully. The 6-2 MacLeod and 3-0 Wad. These 2 welterweights would definitely give fans their money’s worth as they stepped in to the cage. Round 1 started with an exchange of strikes but Macleod wins the first exchange with a great uppercut-cross combination. Dick Wad sees that he is in a bit of danger, he clinches with MacLeod where Wad becomes the aggressor, landing significant strikes which puts the pressure on to Wad! Dick Wad then lands a punch in the sweet spot, rocking MacLeod. I think at this point MacLeod was in la la land. Once Wad breaks the clinch, MacLeod looks to have some Vaseline in his eyes, however Wad doesn’t give him a chance to wipe it out as he delivers a cheap shot to the side of the head. It sucks to see the fight end in such a display. Nonetheless, Dick Wad wins the fight in 3:16 of round 1 by knockout.
San Terra vs. Gunnar McGregor
And now! We move on to the main event of the evening. Two super heavyweights battling it out for the WCC Super Heavyweight Championship!! With a combined record of 13 wins and 1 loss, these combatants were looking to leave it all in the ring. And what a fight it was. All of the anticipation for this massive contest. And that’s as close as the fight got. As the hype began and the atmosphere built up in the arena. The two fighters stepped in to the cage for a fight which would be talked about for weeks to come. As the bell rings, Sam Terra lands a massive right hand, cutting McGregor instantly! And it didn’t stop there. After easily stuffing a takedown, Terra goes in and out of the clinch. The two fighters stare at each other, trying to anticipate the next move. But I bet McGregor didn’t see the massive head kick which was about to land cleanly across his head. Falling down to the ground, Sam Terra knows he has just won. Already showboating to the crowd before the referee has a chance to stop the fight. It only took 26 seconds, but it will be 26 seconds which both fighters will remember for the rest of their lives. Presenting the first WCC Super Heavyweight Champion, Sam Terra! He also received knock out of the night and fight of the night awards which were well fitting in this main event!
There we have it folks. 10 action packed fights with none going in to the hands of the judges. We saw the uprising of many fighters and we crowned 2 new champions in the process. We hope to see you all again in our next event!
