Benny St. Breeze Over Daniel Hill  Via Armbar (Sub of the Night)

  In this fight we had a very determined Breeze lookin to get rebound from his last loss and that is exactly what he did in this fight.At the start of this fight we had Breeze set the pace with the clinch showing exactly how agressive he wanted to be never letting up the pace. Now after the the clinch Breeze went right out there and took Hill down which is where I think we all knew the fight would end and it did. Not too long after he was stood up he got the take down once again and decided that this fight needed to be ended and it was after a little grappling Breeze isolated a arm and extended his hips and got the tap that he was craving ever since he accepted the fight.

Leo Bennet Over Dog Dog Via Decision 

  In the second fight of the night we had another dominant preformance that was put out by Bennet. Bennet came out and just controlled this fight with the takedown and that was repeated all night. After he was able to get the take down bennet just controlled the fight almost effortlessly using ground and pound to score points with the judges and also soften up his opponent. Dog did show somefight though he never gave up while trying a few Subs off his back and getting a take down of his own it just did not seem like anything went his way that night.

Soa Kawai Over Paolo Antunes Via KO

The third fight of the night lets just say ended in a very big misfortune fot Antunes. Kawai did however come out and was just relentless in his pursuit for the win not letting the gas peddle up with his agression set at a very high level. This agression paid off big time not very long into the fight when Kawai caught and stunned his opponent with a cross and Kawai being the fighter that he is he recognized this and jumped in for the kill and he was able to finish the fight. However, for Antunes he should not keep his head down maybe he just got caught with a lucky punch it happens to everyone he just needs to bounce back.

Dominoe Knocks Over Daws Berrera TKO

 Now in the fourth fight of the night we saw a great show of the advantage of being a well experienced fighter. Starting this fight we saw Berrerea just laying on the heat not giving him any room he really looked like he was going to give knocks a hard time. Although as the first round went on that took a quick turn as Knocks waited out his opponent and turned on just at the right time and completly changed the momentum in Knocks favor. As Knocks turned up the heat he just started connecting with everything that he threw then finally Berrera let down his gaurd to look up at the clock and he was clocked with a hammer of a punch that dropped him and Knocks punced and finished the fight.

Frank Flynn Over Jo Jo Via Decision

  Moving on to the half way point in this event we have what could be a future champ in this org adding another solid Victory on to his stat sheet. Flynn came into this fight being the more battle scared fighter and it showed being as in he was able to get the takedown at will and show his dominance. However the one thing that we have to question though is he wants to make it up to the next teir of fighters he will need to finish an opponent of this caliber. Jo Jo however should not walk out of this fight with his head down for being the with the must less experience he kept his poise and did not falter and managed to make it to a decision i think that is something to grow on.

Lars De Groot Over Yin Hong KO

  This bout was contested against two fighter who have both tasted defeat against the champ and tonight it was nice to see a win from one of these two fighters who gives it there all night after night in the cage. First of all i want to give Hong credit for giving his all in this fight I think that his efforts he puts into the cage night after night go unseen but now I tip my hat for his heart that he shows. The fight was in lars favor landing the much nicer blows and eventually it chipped away on the Hong untill he could not hold out was put out by a head kick that was in all honesty was cro crop worthy. Hong showed great toughness though hit after hit blow after blow he shook it off and dished it out and asked for more but unfourtunately no man can take a head kick and this was no different.

Samson Deleyel Over Smitty Smithers Via Decision 

This was one of the closer contested fights of the night and it showed the iron will of 2 very good combatants. In this fight it seemed that it turned into a very big clinch battle for parts of the fight that seemed to provide good enrtertainment for the crowd. In the long run though Smithers was just a little slower on everythig he did put in some good shots but he could not set the pace in anypart of the fight and never showed dominance. Samson just didnt do anything over impressive in this fight he just out preformed his opponent and in the end it showed with his victory not a bad one but he will need to put out more in the future.

Jack Sole Over Fred Sanford KO

 We had one brutal fight here with Sole leaving it all in the cage not showing his opponent any mercy here. Sole not event 10 seconds in put a nasty gash over Sansfrods and he did not stop there although give props for Sanford to clinching up which was the smart thing the terror did not stop there. As soon as the clinch was broke we had sole rush in for the takedown and from there he triied to work his submission and when he saw that he could not get that to work he decided to just end the night quickly with the KO it seems like this is the last man in the worl that you want to be on top of you in the ground game.

Apache Mankiller over Lou Fung KO (KO of the Night)

This one of the better technique fights i would say we had on this card seeing that Mankiller seemed to play his counter game very nicely in this fight. Lou Fung very much did a good job of setting the pace however he never really musterd up any good offensive attack with not a lot of his stuff finding home but he put out a good effort that in other fights could very well award him with a win.Mankiller showed a very good outing taking a blow here and there but then dishing it out even harder and I think he may have earned a shot at the title with that devestating head kick he had landed. However that was his last fight on contract sadly i sent him a new offer hopefully he comes back he was a great fighter for the org and if he chooses to go else where i wish him good luck but he will be missed.

Freddy White Over Frank Reynolds Via Decision(Fight of the Night)

All i have to say is what a fight we had here and it ended up in a new champ. We had two guys here either one i would be proud to call the champ go head to head and thats what they did with each fighter landing some nice shots. White just came into this and was more agressive in my eyes he landed one or two nicer shots and just one almost every round and just outworked our champ in a very good display. Reynolds though himself put out a valiant effort of his own he did not falter after taking a blow he would land one of his own its just he was not as agressive i guess to the judges and he lost the fight. I tried to renew his contract but he declined saying he lost the belt h]its his time to move on which i respect so I do wish him good luck in his future.
