Bout 1 (Amateur Welterweight MMA)
Led better was simply too much for Herring, dominating en route to the choke out victory.
Ledbetter - 1:11 R1 Rear Naked Choke
Bout 2 (Amateur Welterweight MMA)
The first round was a barnburner as Hicks showcased some impressive stand up. However, when it went to the ground Shafer appeared to have the edge, coming close to securing the choke as time ran out in the round. In round two Hicks was able to hurt Shafer and ultimately got his back and secured the triangle.
HICKS - :50 R2 Triangle Choke
Bout 3 (Amateur Middleweight MMA)
Barker was just a little too much for the game Kirby. He was able to secure the takedowns, keep position and work for submission. Kirby was able to defend, but couldn’t get his game going…
Barker – Unanimous Decision
Bout 4 (Amateur Super Heavyweight MMA)
Harper attacked from the opening bell, gaining the first round KO.
Harper – 1:58 R1 KO
Bout 5 (PRO Welterweight MMA)
Making his Pro debut, the “Wunderkind” did not disappoint, securing the triangle in R1. Hats off to Norwood who took the bout on 1 days notice.
Miller 3:14 R1 – Triangle Choke
Bout 6 (Pro Middleweight MMA)
As usually, Stout came prepared, showcasing his conditioning and stand up skills en route to the TKO; however, it should be noted that Gehrsitz initially took his Pro debut on one weeks notice. Then, when he was unable to contact his manager (who it turns out had fallen ill) he assumed the fight was off and went off training. He rode the entire six hour trip in sweats, still had to run after arriving in Atlanta, and finally made weight at around 1:30 am.
The first round was a slugfest with each fighter landing bombs. The second round began with more of the same, but as time went on Gehrsitz began to tire and by the third round Stout was landing unanswered. The referee stepped in and stopped the bout.
Stout 3:12 R3 – TKO - Ref Stoppage
Bout 8 (Pro Welterweight MMA)
Kinnison obviously had a game plan to neutralize the skills of the accomplished grappler and BJJ Black Belt. He exercised it to a “T” as he dominated the stand up and easily thwarted Saraiva’s slick submissions attempts en rout to the victory.
Kinnison – Unanimous Decision
Bout 7 (Pro Middleweight MMA)
After two opponents fell through, Payne stepped in to fight the always dangerous Assuncao. Payne was unable to deal with Junior’s arsenal, dropped into a ball and tapped.
Assuncao :50 R1 – Tap Out
Bout 9 (Pro Middleweight MMA)
Horton, the decorated wrestler, was flustered by the skills of Ruiz and quickly succumbed to the triangle.
Ruiz 1:55 R1 – Triangle Choke
Bout 10 (Pro Light Heavyweight MMA)
Santos came out strong, gaining a quick takedown and working and striking from Foster’s guard. Foster remained calm, swept and got Santos’ back for the RNC victory.
Foster 2:49 R1 – Rear naked Choke
