UPF 3: Total Domination - Hard Knocks Arena - Hilo
Undercard
Clint "Head Bu$$er" Hester vs Cant "Think of A" Name - 185lbs
Really scrappy affair to start us off tonight, neither fighter managed to assert dominance over his opponent as both fighters seemed scared to over commit. Hester used good takedown defense and basic striking to take rounds 1 and 3 while Name managed to score 2 takedowns in the middle round without threatening anything meaningful.
Hester wins by decision (30-28 29-28 29-28)
Tobias Gibson vs Joe "Lone Wolf" Dever - 170lbs
A couple of early takedowns from Gibson put Dever on his back but things soon returned to the feet where Dever took control while cutting Gibson, a few sharp strikes followed by a nasty uppercut sent Tobias reeling with an additional series of punches forcing the ref to step in and save Gibson.
Dever wins by TKO (2:54 Rd1)
Brazilian "Matos" Army vs "The Quinnspiracy" Quinn Zoella - 205lbs
Well i cant see anybody wanting to see this one again !! Long periods of inactivity left the crowd frustrated and the owner kicking off on twitter, Matos used ground control to edge round 1 while both fighters used clinch work to trade the next 2....Neither fighter gained many fans after this bout.
Army wins by decision (29-28 29-28 29-28)
Jamal "Mr Destruction" Lewis vs Prince "The Arm Bar" Edgar - 170lbs
A highlight worthy slam paved the way for Mr Destruction to dominate the first showing good submission defense while using solid ground and pound, round 2 started much the same with edgar on his back and lewis looking to pass to mount....until edgar managed to grapevine a leg and lock in a vicious kneebar.
Edgar wins by submission (2:55 Rd1)
Main Card
"Bate Pepo" Peter Angelov vs Luke Magamedov - 170lbsAfter a slow undercard we got off to a flyer on the main card.....Angelov used a tight clinch to control Magamedov and land heavy strikes to wear him down, a big knee cut magamedov while another left him on queer street.....a flush uppercut sent him back towards the cage and a baroni-esq combination left magamedov slumped against the cage.
Angelov wins by TKO (1:33 Rd1)
Andrew "Dirty" Jackson vs Mark Davidson - 170lbs
A flurry of stiff early strikes from davidson distracted Jackson long enough to land a takedown, heavy ground and pond helped him make the transition to mount and from there it was all over....another heavy punch forced Jackson to turtle up and left the ref no other option than to stop the fight.
Davidson wins by TKO (2:32 Rd1)
Artem Obukhov vs Butch Jenkins - 170lbs
Obukhov came out fast and agressive with good clean boxing that snapped back the head of Jenkins and forced him to shoot for a takedown and land himself in a world of hurt, no sooner had Obukhovs backed touched the mat he was attacking a wrist and quickly snagged a fight ending arm bar....great professional debut for the Uzbekistan prospect.
Obukhov wins by submission (0:23 Rd1)
Justin Sane vs Hokey Pokey - 170lbs
A total of 13 early failed takedowns drained the tank of Sane and left him wide open to Pokeys impressive range of assault, mixing attacks to body and legs left Sane with no ability to move and a barrage of head kicks left him staring up at the lights. An easy nights work for Pokey but I think its safe to say Sane has some work to do on his striking defense and takedown offense moving forward !!!
Pokey wins by TKO (1:43 Rd1)
Co-Main Event
Twelve Knickerbocker vs Mustafiq "The Egyptian Armstrong" Rana - 185lbs
An impressive takedown from Knickerbocker landed him in side control but that was as good as it got because Rana immediately went on the offensive, first moving into half guard before acheiving full guard and executing a beautiful sweep into dominant side control.....seconds later Rana snatched at a kimura and was fortunate enough to make it stick and force the tap.
Rana wins by submission (1:58 Rd1)
Main Event
Ima "Anal Rape" You vs Akito "Devil" Toyotoku - 185lbs
This fight was a lot more one sided than their records had suggested and was painful to watch, whether Ima overtrained or froze on the big stage is besides the point as Devil took full advantage of an unexpected oppurtunity to take the fight to Ima.....a heavy dose of leg kicks left his opponent limping early and things got steadily worse for Anal Rape, brutal body kicks wiped out any stamina Ima had left and Toyotoku smelled blood and like any apex predator the end was quick and efficient....another massive body kick left Ima doubled over then a huge cross dropped him and swift ground and pound made the ref tackle Devil to save Ima from any unnecessary punishment.
Toyotoku wins by TKO (3:34 Rd1)
