We are LIVE!

KANSAS CITY, KANSAS: January 28th, 2011; Location Memorial Hall.
The televised fight card.

Martinez

Martinez Vs Ripley – After the initial feeling out with some strikes and kicks, Martinez ends up in Ripley’s guard, a big strike from Martinez and then back to their feet.  Ripley gets dropped and covers up.  Ripley recovers and gets to ½ guard and keeps working guard but is taking a beating but he seems unhurt.

Martinez Vs. Ripley

RD2, Ripley starts the round with a big knee attempt but get countered with a shot that drops him.  Back to guard play and upkicks.  Martinez eventually gets mount and works a choke for the tapout.

Akin Vs. Gurierrez

Akin Vs Gutierrez - Both fighters making their Pro debuts and both local KC boys.  Round starts with Akin defending against Gutierrez’s kicks, then Akin takes him down and ends up in guard. They reverse position a few times.  Akin tries for the footlock.  While tied up Gutierrez drops and slams Akin 4x to the pleasure of the crowd.   Akin goes to his side and enjoys all you can eat lefts from the winner Anthony “Shark Bait” Gutierrez in the first round.

Dober Vs. Cooper

Dober Vs Cooper – Fight starts with Cooper taking Dober down hard.  Back to the standing position after some tough love scuffling on the mat.  Dober catches a kick and uses it to take Cooper down, he gets to ½ guard and not much going on and it ends up with the fighters standing and posturing. Cooper gets a take down at the end of the round that was as loud as a thunderclap.

Dober Vs. Cooper

RD2, Fighters go back and forth with clinches, ½ guards, reverses and guard in an active start to the round.  Dobers elbows gave him an edge now.  Dober stands to strike and gets tripped up and tied up with Cooper and almost gets triangled.  The round saved Dober. RD3, The fighters confuse KC with Philadelphia and hug to start the round. Flurries of strikes from both fighters.  Dober catches Cooper with a kick that led to a fall and they get back up quick.  They end up on the mat again quickly and Dober tries an arm triangle to finish the fight but then Cooper reverses position.  Decision goes to Dober.

Tapusoa

Tapusoa Vs McFedries – A stand up war that goes to each fighters advantage at one point.  Big punches land to send head sweat flying upon impact and you hope your pals camera catches that because it always makes for a awesome photo.  Tapusoa slipped on a kick he attempted but got up before McFedries could capitalize. McFedries was the calm and seasoned professional that we are used to.

Tapusoa Vs. McFedries

RD2, More striking exchanges, neither fighter even tried to take the other down.  Tapusoa nails McFedries straight in the face and seems to make McFedries smile while he stumbled a few steps backwards.  McFederies stepped up with some knees to end the round.  At this point it seems that Tapusoa has split McFedries lip open but his own face is a bloody mess from a few cuts or abrasions.

Tapusoa broken

RD3, This was a war, both guys bloody, both giving and receiving huge punches, then McFedries seems to reach down to his knees and deliver a haymaker of an uppercut that lands perfectly.  That strike ends the fight with Tapusoa wandering the ring and out on his feet for a few moments.

Derrow Vs. Clementi

Derrow Vs Clementi – A few strikes open the round and then Clementi ends up on top of Derrow, he moves to side control and seems to be toying with Derrow a bit.  Clementi lets him stand.  Derrow is game and striking, he then takes Clementi down. They are tied up as the round ends.

Derrow Vs. Clementi

RD2, Round opens with Derrow clocking Clementi and causing him to stumble a bit.  It just got real for Clementi.  Clementi takes Derrow down and ends up on top after a scramble, he takes Darrows back for a second, 1 hook in, then back to full guard.  Round ends in a pretzel configuration.

"No Love" with no lights on.

Derrow post fight interview

RD3, Clementi opens with a sweeping leg kick that knocked Derrow to the mat for a second.  Once back to his feet we witnessed Derrow attempting to jump to guard, twice, while Clementi tried to push him off.  During the last attempt at jumping to guard Derrow hangs on, drags Clementi down and ends up catching Clementi in a triangle for the win.

Jason High

High Vs Bears – Both KC fighters enter the ring to a lot of fan noise for the love of the local guys.  Fight starts and High gets the take down they scuffle for a moment and Bears neck gets entangled by an expertly applied guillotine choke to end his night in 51 seconds of the first round.  This fight proves you can beat a Bear if you are High.

Wagner

Sylvia

Wagner Vs Sylvia – Both big men enter the cage and the crowd was pumped up from the last fight ending in an exciting manner, and this being the main event, the fans went wild.  The fight starts and both men exchange huge strikes with evil intentions.

Wager gets the better connection while Sylvia was backing up and after a few more land Sylvia drops to his hands and knees and the ref steps in and gives Wagner the victory in 32 seconds of the first round.

Great job Titan!  See ya on March 25th with Phil Baroni headlining.
