Light Heavyweight - Buddy Barnett (0-0) Vs Philip Cross (0-1)
Philip "Crosser" Cross suffered a devastating loss in his debut on the independent circuit. Losing in a little over a minute meant that he didn’t get to show off his skills and that’s exactly what he looked to do in his promotional debut.
Buddy Barnett was making his debut and came running out of the gate with bloodlust coming out of his pores, swinging for the fences to start the match. Philip Cross kept his head cool and took Barnett down before the wild man even had a chance to land his first punch. Philip Cross however quickly found out that Buddy Barnett knows how to defend himself on the ground, leaving Cross unable to take advantage of his superior wrestling. The referee brought the fight back up and Cross gave it his all to keep closing the distance. But the tides had turned and Barnett slowly found his footing, throwing bombs with wicked precision. One of those bombs clipped Cross a little over a minute in the third and final round, dropping Cross to the floor. Barnett showed off his killer instinct, dotting his I’s and crossing his t’s, finishing Cross off with a bombardment of strikes.
Winner: Buddy Barnett by TKO (Strikes)
Welterweight - Adam Shalashaska (0-0) Vs Richard Drake (0-0)
These two warriors from France and Switzerland didn’t show any nervous jitters walking down to the cage as they made their debuts. But once the bell rang, one fighter simply dominated.
Richard Drake fired off some warning shots but like a man possessed, Adam Shalashaska just ate them all for breakfast. Adam Shalashaska quickly closed the distance with disregard for his own wellbeing, taking the fight to the ground in less than a minute and that was all she wrote. Impressive debut for France’s new rising star Adam Shalashaska.
Winner: Adam Shalashaska by Submission (Triangle)
Light Heavyweight - Billy Crawley (1-0) Vs Mister Winky (1-0)
Two fighters who were dominant to say the least in their respective debuts wanted to prove to the world that luck had nothing to dwith that first victory. They got the nervous jitters out of the way last time, now it was time for one of them to cement their status as a legitimate contender in the light heavyweight division.
Boxing Vs Muay Thai, 1-0. Mister Winky’s kicks were fast and furious but Billy Crawley’s fists proved the difference maker, carefully breaking Mister Winky’s defenses down with a sniper’s precision until not a single brick was left standing. Another solid performance for Billy Crawley as he moves up the ladder.
Winner: Billy Crawley by TKO (Strikes)
Lightweight - Kranckx Diesel (1-0) Vs Rob Cervantes (1-0)
Another pair of undefeated fighters faced off in the co-main event. It was no secret Kranckx Diesel wanted this fight to stay standing, proving himself a master clinch rapist in his debut. Rob Cervantes dominated with his trademark ground skills last time and the urge to take this fight to the ground was written on his forehead as he made his way to the cage.
Cervantes failed to get the fight down in his first attempt but that didn’t stop him from trying again and once he managed to take the fight down to the ground, he dominated. There were submissions everywhere as Cervantes looked to choke or yank off any body part Kranckx Diesel had left lying around. Kranckx Diesel however survived the submission clinic and when the second round started, he came back with vengeance. Kranckx Diesel closed the distance himself this time, taking the fight into the clinch. He started blasting punch after punch like a human machine gun until Cervantes just couldn’t take it anymore.
Winner: Kranckx Diesel by TKO (Strikes)
Middleweight - Cathair McKay (2-0) Vs Island Guy (2-0)
This was the fight everyone was waiting for, the big main event. Two dominant knockout machines with dynamite punches and Highland Games had the pleasure to lock these guys in a cage, just to see who could walk out of there alive.
If you didn’t know in advance that these two were bringing fireworks, you sure knew they were after the first round. A little over a minute into the fight and Cathair McKay waffled Island Guy with a big right hand, knocking him down to the canvas. Island Guy however didn’t let it faze him, getting his fists back up before he even shook off the cobwebs. Cathair McKay took the fight to the clinch to finish off the round. These two middleweight brawlers clobbered each other and by the end of the first round, Island Guy had a massive pounding headache while Cathair McKay was busted open like he just walked off the set of a horror movie.
Winner: Cathair McKay by Decision (Unanimous)
