Madison Garden Arena - New York

The City that Never Sleeps, New York!  Good thing because there were 5 first round finishes and only 2 decisions on the night...if you blinked, you likely missed something. 18,475 MMA fans filed into Madison Garden Arena for free pizza night and violence and dammit, they got both!

265lb+ CONTEST:  Mark Lesnar vs Leopold Galute

The thing about nightmares is that they happen when you’re asleep - Mark Lesnar puts people to sleep.  Leopold Galute has game wherever the fight may end up, but has more recently been somewhat of a submission aficianado.  These 2 Super Heavyweight fighters both came to party and both came hunting for the finish.

Galute jumps into action pressing for the takedown, unafraid of Lesnar’s NCAA wrestling accolades.  Lesnar halts the attempt only to find himself in the clinch with the determined Galute.  Leopold pulls guard and Lesnar doesn’t seem to mind horribly, postures up and lands a big strike.  Fans edge to the front of their seats as this could spell doom for Galute.  Lesnar signals that something is wrong and tries to protect his arms, but it’s too late - Leopold Galute has one isolated and has thrown his legs up for a triangle.  Once he locks them in, this one is all over as Galute flashes a smile indicating he’s got it.  Lesnar taps, Galute thanks his sponsor for the free swag.

WINNER:  Leopold Galute (SUB)

265lb+ CONTEST:  Jon Nolan vs Jerome Steel

https://www.mmatycoon.com/fightcommentary.php?FTID=1038664

Jon Nolan only has one glaring hole in his game.  Jerome Steel filled it for him.  Nolan managed to deliver one solid body shot to Steel before the dominant Muay Thai practitioner stepped up the action.  A quick working over in the clinch has Nolan pushing his way out only to catch a few brutal punches at distance.  When Steel retreats for a quick breather, the whole crowd is shocked into a frenzy when the Super Heavyweight explodes forward with a flying knee, crumpling Nolan to the canvas.  G’night Dick!  Game over.

WINNER:  Jerome Steel (KO)

135lb CHAMPIONSHIP - CO-MAIN EVENT:  C - Yodsawan Sitsongrit vs Tom Thomas

https://www.mmatycoon.com/fightcommentary.php?FTID=1038657

Both Champion and Challenger are distance fighters for the most part.  Both extremely talented strikers, each man can fully batter an opponent for 5 rounds and beyond.  Polished technique will surely be on display in this Championship bout.

Both men took turns pushing the pace in this one, with Sitsongrit dialing in the accuracy.  This fight looked like a choreographed sequence from a martial arts movie as the fighters proving both elusive in their defense and viper-like in their attacks.  Ultimately this was a back and forth affair, with the Champion landing at a higher percentage and taking all but one round from the challenger.  One has to wonder how long Yodsawan can continue with these 15 - 25 minute wars however.

WINNER:  Yodsawan Sitsongrit (UD)

265lb+ CHAMPIONSHIP - MAIN EVENT:  C - Zeta Knox vs Pittsburgh Steelers

https://www.mmatycoon.com/fightcommentary.php?FTID=1038666

Zeta Knox last entered the cage as challenger and exited as Champion, dethroning Nekele and sending him on a 2 fight skid.  Pittsburgh Steelers also faced Nekele, but the roles were reversed and saw his title go to the challenger in that bout.  Both of these men are animals and have the ability to violently end an opponents night.

The lads get straight to the point and start swinging.  You know this is going to end badly for one of them tonight.  A couple of shots traded and Steelers goes high with a head kick that misses.  Knox gets gun shy at the wrong moment and pays dearly as Steelers counters with a head kick that makes the worst sound.  I mean it was bad.  I puked a little bit and will never look at free pizza night the same ever again.  MMA Math fails yet again and we have a new SHW Champion!

WINNER:  Pittsburgh Steelers (KO)
