Belts !

used his wrestling skills to take his opponent down
and finish him with devastating
strikes on top.
Chris
Holdsworth made his first title defense against Cameron
Ramirez from team wand in the first title fight of the
evening. Chris surprised his opponent with his ever
improving boxing skills by dropping him with an accurate
one two combo. Things got worse, for Ramirez as soon
as he fell to the mat where Chris was able
to achieve mount quicly and finished the fight with
strikes.
In
the main event of the night, Jerry Shapiro captured
the 135 title by scoring a quick guillotine over Maurice
Senters. Senters, who trains out of striking unlimited,
was aware of Jerry's technical ground game and did his
best to defend the takedown. After a few punching exchanges,
Jerry faked a takedown and as soon as Senters sprawled,
he locked a lightning quick guillotine which forced
Senters to tap out.
Congratulations
to Jerry, Chris and Jermain for their dominating performances.

Next
up, 2x NCAA champ and WEC veteran Johny Hendricks (who
just recently won the Grappler’s Quest absolute

technical battle with Johny almost passing towards the
end as Cameron wins a close match 6-4.

now tied. 3x All American and WEC veteran Shane Roller
went against Ryan Hall(2009 Abu Dhabi Trials Champion).

takedown and had several tight guillotine chokes. Shane
ended up winning 2-0 in a close match. The two had a
rematch later on that day in the absolute division with
Shane beating Hall 10-0. Team Takedown/Cobra Kai ended
