"Caged Fury"
Written by J.R. Gordon
Friday night September 25, 2009 the fight fans at Red and Jerry's again quenched their thirst for MMA action with an 11 bout fight card including 7 titles, a professional match and women's MMA action.
Main event: Angelo Duarta faced Scott Grimm for the RMBB professional 145 lb. MMA title. To start off the only pro fight on the card Grimm quickly shot for a takedown, but on the ground Duarta was able to control position while Grimm threatened with submissions. Grimm worked for an armbar, a shoulder lock and a triangle choke, all of which Duarta defended/escaped before closing off the RNC for the title win at 2:42 of round one.
Anthony Alirez faced Jack May for the RMBB superheavyweight MMA title. Alirez opened the bout with rushing May into the cage and looking for a takedown. May however was able to pull Alirez to the mat and from the top he tried for an armbar that Alirez escaped. Then in the scramble Alirez worked into half mount while securing the guillotine choke and at 2:10 of round one he got the tapout victory and the belt.
Ann Wyborn faced Audrey Perkins for the RMBB 115 lb. women's MMA title. Both fighters showed good striking to open the bout before they clinched against the cage and Wyborn worked for a standing RNC before transitioning to a standing guillotine choke attempt. Wyborn then jumped guard looking to close off the choke, but Perkins escaped and spent the rest of the round in mount working her GNP. Round two saw nearly the entire round being spent in the clinch with both fighters firing off solid knee strikes and mixing in head and body punches. While standing Wyborn tried several times for a guillotine choke, but each time Perkins was able to escape. Near the end of the round Wyborn again jumped guard looking for a choke, but Perkins defended and worked body shots from inside the guard of Wyborn. The third round again saw the majority of the action occur with the combatants in the clinch firing solid strikes seemingly nonstop with each giving as good as they got. Perkins initiated a takedown, but Wyborn ended in half mount and each worked GNP before scrambling to standing and flurrying with punches to close out the bout. When the scorecards were totaled the title winner by way of unanimous decision was Ann Wyborn.
George Ashauer faced TJ Nunnely for the RMBB 205 lb. MMA title. Both fighters showed striking early before Nunnely shot then pulled guard. Ashauer passed the guard and worked his GNP before trying for a Kimura shoulder lock. Nunnely escaped the lock by cage walking and back rolling out from under his opponent. A scramble for position ensued and Ashauer tried for a triangle, but Nunnely escaped. Ashauer stayed committed to his submission attack and transitioned to an armbar that Nunnely defended once. However, the second time that Ashauer set in the armbar he got it closed off for the title winning tapout at 2:44 of round one.
Jeremiah Record faced Travis Hollis for the RMBB 155 lb. MMA title. Both fighters came out showcasing strong kicks. They mixed their kicking well from leg attacks to body attacks to head kicks along with several spinning techniques. After the kicking display it was Record that got the takedown and after securing back control he worked between RNC and GNP. At 2:40 of round one Record was able to sink in the RNC to win the title.
Shawn Flanagan faced CJ Martinez for the RMBB 135 lb. MMA title. After the fighters entered into the clinch Martinez scored a takedown and worked his GNP. Flanagan answered with a solid triangle choke attempt before escaping and working back to standing where the fighters exchanged strikes to end the round. Round two saw both fighters striking well with Flanagan landing a hard side kick that sent Martinez into the cage. Martinez used the momentum to set up a superman punch after rebounding off of the cage. He followed the punch with a takedown, took mount and worked his GNP until he got the TKO win and the title at 2:39 of round two.
Beau Whipple faced Willy Baisley for the RMBB 145 lb. MMA title. Baisley opened with a strong teep kick followed by a punch flurry. Whipple came back with a combination of his own but Baisley set up a leg trip takedown. Once on the ground Baisley took mount, worked his GNP and set in a triangle choke when Whipple swept him. At :55 of round one Baisley got the choke cinched off in order to win the title by way of tapout victory.
Chad Romero faced Isaias Gomez. Romero quickly got a double leg takedown and worked his GNP until the referee stood the fighters after an accidental illegal punch to the back of the head of Gomez. Romero again got the takedown and spent the rest of the round working GNP and submission attempts. Round two again had Romero securing the double leg takedown and using his GNP to set up a RNC attempt. The choke looked to be a fight winner, but Gomez refused to tap and was able to work his way back to standing. Romero again got a takedown and set in a triangle choke when Gomez swept him. Gomez however again showed solid submission defense to get out of the choke and the follow up armbar. From the top Gomez worked punches to end the round. Round three had Romero getting several more takedowns and using positional control to set up his GNP attack until the bell ended the bout. When the scorecards were tallied the winner by unanimous decision was Chad Romero.
Allen Washington faced Jeron Aragon. Aragon was aggressive early and scored with a huge double leg slam to set up his GNP from mount. Washingtom tried to buck and roll for an escape and the referee stopped the action and restarted the fighters standing after Aragon grabbed the cage to prevent being rolled. On the restart Aragon again got a big double leg slam, took mount and used his GNP to get the TKO win at 2:10 of round one.
Daniel Guzman faced Matt Manzanares. Both fighters came out probing with punches but it was Manzanares that closed in to land a crushing hook that dropped Guzman.
