CAGE FURY FIGHTING CHAMPIONSHIPS PRESENTS “CFFC XXIV – SULLIVAN VS BECKER” BEGINNING MAY 27

May 23, 2013

GFL and Comcast continue their weekly combat sports series, REAL FIGHTS, with world class MMA as Cage Fury Fighting Championships returns to Atlantic City to present another loaded card with CFFC XXIV - Sullivan VS Becker.   CFFC has quickly set itself apart on the regional MMA scene by expanding its footprint up and down the Eastern seaboard while running shows at a furious pace.  This event is another home run for CFFC as the card will be anchored by two titles fights!

In the main event, CFFC Welterweight Champion George Sullivan (12-3) battles undefeated Brandon Becker (6-0).  Sullivan, who has been riding high after his TKO victory over Ultimate Fighter veteran Julian Lane, is feeling confident going into this bout. Since joining CFFC in 2011, Sullivan has gone undefeated in four fights, with three of them being for the title. "I feel (CFFC) is the best organization around, I'm so pleased to be their champion," continued Sullivan.

Becker knows he has his toughest test in his young career ahead of him, but will make the most of his opportunity. "Obviously CFFC is a great promotion. I would not have resigned with them if I had thought otherwise. I have fought for several others but none have been as well run and professional as CFFC."

In the co-main event, CFFC Flyweight Titleholder Sean “Shorty Rock” Santella (12-3-1) looks to defend his belt against Dave Morgan (5-2).  Since moving down to his natural weight class, Santella has won four in a row. He feels as though he is on the cusp of the UFC and fighting is now strictly business. "I'm looking forward to the fight," said Santella. "Dave Morgan is a strong wrestler and I feel like I can finish my opponent anywhere the fight goes."

Fighting out of Scranton, Pennsylvania, Dave Morgan knows that he will have to bring his "A" game.  "Fighting Santella is a huge opportunity," said Morgan. "He's top 15 in the world and to get where I want to go, I need to beat him. It's an amazing opportunity. I'm coming to fight and take that belt and defend it as many times as it takes for the UFC to notice."

Cage Rage 11: Long Weekend Smackdown Review on GFL.tv

Canadian Cage Rage, Atlantic Canada's premier Amateur MMA organization, returned with Cage Rage 11: Long Weekend Smackdown at the Lion's Club in Moncton, New Brunswick, Canada. Cage Rage is a solid proving ground for MMA in Eastern Canada where the fighters are separated from the other Canadian hotbeds of Toronto, Montreal and Vancouver and as such have their own unique fighting circuit. This stacked amateur card featured KOs, submissions and tons of high octane battles! 

In the main event, in the heavyweight division, Paul Harris defeated Bernie Martin via rear naked choke in round two.  In round one, Martin came out like a bat out of hell throwing punches and kicks while Harris was content to clinch or back pedal and get his spacing and timing down.  Martin continued to swing and miss while Harris just backed up and didn’t throw anything.  Martin started to connect, while Harris continued to taunt.  Martin landed a few front kicks as the round wore on while Harris did his fair share of dodging most of Martin’s strikes.  In round two, Martin continued throwing punches with Harris ducking and dodging.  Finally, Harris started to engage and both he and Martin threw punches in bunches in the center of the cage.  Harris connected with a big looping right hand that hurt Martin and continued his attack.  Harris dropped Martin and followed him to the ground and landed more punches until the ref inexplicably grabbed Harris on the arms but then let the fight continue and Harris finished the fight with a choke.  It was a weird ending, but Harris was in dominant position to win either with ground and pound or finally the submission. 

In the co-main event, Eugene London (1-0) defeated Norm Robichaud (0-7) via TKO in round two.  This was an inspirational match as the hometown star, London, lost his right arm in a farming accident just below the shoulder but that didn’t stop him from taking the fight to Robichaud. In round one, both London and Robichaud had a kickboxing match with London throwing and landing left hooks and leg kicks while Robichaud threw a couple low kicks.  London won the round with his high volume striking.  In round two, London connected with several hard left hooks that hurt Robichaud and finally ended the fight with a beautiful head kick that sent Robichaud down to the mat. 

Cage Rage delivered another strong card with Cage Rage 11: Long Weekend Smackdown and showcased the rising amateurs and blue chip prospects hailing from Canada's Eastern region. Don't miss this show to watch the future stars of tomorrow, compete today.

XFE XXIII Preview on GFL.tv

Xtreme Fight Events returns to Harrah’s Philadelphia Casino & Racetrack on June 1 with XFE XXIII.  XFE has quickly solidified itself in Pennsylvania as the top-tier MMA event where rising stars step into the battleground looking to destroy their opponents.  

In the main event, for the XFE Welterweight Title Justin Bonitatis (3-1) battles Brandon Odom (5-8).  Bonitatis won the title back in December and this will be his first title defense.  Bonitatis is an All-American wrestler and is known for grinding down his opponents and breaking their spirits in the cage.  Odom brings an experience advantage into the cage and is a well-traveled vet fighting for the top regional organizations in the Mid-West and East Coast.  Odom won his last fight via submission and he is hoping to continue that streak against Bonitatis which will be a tough task.

In other action, for XFE Lightweight Title Ryan Cafaro (6-3) takes on Ryan Holmes (3-1).  Cafaro is a strong wrestler with powerful submissions and likes to control his opponent on the ground.  Cafaro is very active on the ground and is always looking for the tapout.  Holmes will have the height advantage as he stands at 6’0” and will look to use his reach to stay away from Cafaro’s takedowns.  Holmes loves to pick his opponents apart and rack up points.  This will be a contrast in styles pitting Cafaro’s ground game against the striking of Holmes.  

Xtreme Fight Events returns with epic fighting in front of a worldwide audience courtesy of the GFL Combat Sports Network.  Watch XFE XXIII on June 1.  Stream the show online at GFL.tv and own if forever.

CFFC XXIV Sullivan VS Becker Review on GFL.tv

Cage Fury Fighting Championships delivered another stellar event as CFFC returned to Atlantic City, New Jersey for CFFC XXIV Sullivan VS Becker. The top MMA fighters from around the East Coast showed why CFFC is the premier MMA organization in the area as every fight delivered with 7 of 11 fights ending in stoppages, as well as two title fights that lived up to the hype.

In the main event, George Sullivan (13-3) retained his CFFC Welterweight Championship with a TKO victory in the second round over gritty challenger Brandon Becker (6-1).  Becker came into the bout undefeated and known for his strong wrestling but the Champ had too much for him and finished the bout in impressive fashion.  Becker came out trying to land a high single takedown, but Sullivan hopped around on one foot showing great balance.  Becker did finally get the fight to the mat, as he twisted Sullivan around and got the leverage needed to finish the takedown.  Becker looked for a rear naked choke, but Sullivan defended it as they got back to their feet where Becker once again looked for a high single as Sullivan used the opportunity to land right hands to Becker’s face.  The fight went back to the ground where Becker was holding an ankle as Sullivan landed a series of elbows to Becker’s head.  Sullivan then got on top and landed more elbows.  Becker got back to his feet and the two traded punches with Sullivan getting the better of the exchanges.  Becker then went for another takedown and got it but ate more elbows to the head and body.  The first round ended with both men on their feet working in the clinch.   Round two began with both fighters trading strikes, as Becker was looking to land a body kick while Sullivan was measuring the distance with his jab and looking to throw his right.  Sullivan continued to gain momentum as his punch count increased and he walked Becker down in the cage.  Sullivan hit Becker with two hard body shots that forced Becker to shoot for a takedown which was partially stuffed by Sullivan.  On the mat, Sullivan continued to land more body shots, and spun out of Becker’s grip and ended up on Becker’s back.  From here, Sullivan unloaded with hard punches to Becker’s face finally causing the ref to stop the fight as Becker was almost completely out.  This was a very impressive win for Sullivan who continues to knock down every opponent put in front of him. 

In the co-main event, Sean “Shorty Rock” Santella (13-3-1) defeated Dave Morgan (5-3) via triangle choke to retain his CFFC Flyweight Crown.  This was Santella’s fifth title fight in a row and he has won every one of them.  Both fighters looked to strike in the early going and try to gauge the distance.  Santella was a bit more active, while Morgan looked to get his timing down to throw a big right hand.  Morgan slipped under a right hand by Santella and got the fight to the mat.  Santella went for a triangle choke, but Morgan showed his brute strength by picking Santella up and slamming him to the canvas.  But Santella was relentless from the position and continued to keep the triangle locked in.  Santella grabbed Morgan’s left arm, and landed some elbows to Morgan’s head looking to improve his positioning on the choke and it worked as Santella was able to choke Morgan unconscious.  This was another barnburner, something that has become synonymous with Santella fights as he continues to raise his stock in MMA.

IZW Adrenaline May 25 Preview on GFL.tv

Are you tired with today’s lackluster wrestling?  If you are, no problem, get your shot of adrenaline with IZW Adrenaline every Saturday night at 8pm ET on GFL.tv.  No other wrestling organization on the Independent landscape carves out as much new content as IZW.  If you’re looking for a rough and tumble style of professional wrestling look no further than IZW.  Developed and cultivated in the Sooner State, IZW is second to none.  Be there for every bump, bruise and jaw-dropping moment all of which have made IZW recognized around the world.

Last week, we got to see the revival of one of IZW’s legendary dirt bags as the newly dubbed “What Wrestling Should Be” Jermaine Johnson let everyone know just where his loyalties lie.  The self-proclaimed Problem Solver for Johnny Z and Impact Elite, Johnson seemed to pick up right where he left off a couple years ago as one of the driving forces behind Impact Inc., who at the time, was the baddest stable in IZW and a precursor to Impact Elite.  Even though Johnson’s mouth was way out of line, especially when he threw Double D and the fans under the bus, Johnson’s wrestling still has to be respected as he is one of the premier grapplers not only in IZW but the surrounding territory, and up and down the Central States.  With Johnson now turning his back on The Hype Section, is there anything this man won’t do to try and build his career, even if that means stepping on the necks of others?

Joining Johnson in Impact Elite was “The Image of War” Kevin Morgan as he took part in what can only be described as a violent felony as he and the rest of Impact Elite (Z, Johnson, The Convict and Jordan Jacobs) stomped a hole in “The Big Picture” Damon Windsor.  With Big Business now ripped in half, Morgan fills the bodyguard role for Z and IE while Windsor is left a man without a country so to speak.  Not only did Windsor lose his tag team partner, but he was also booted out of Impact Elite.  How will running as a lone wolf suit Windsor?  He’s usually always thinking a step or two ahead, and he will need to rely once again on his cerebral gifts if he is going to find a way to dig his career out of the gutter.  

But all might not be as rosy for Impact Elite as they would have you believe.  Co-commissioner “The Number 1” Shawn McHale promised to be in the Impact Arena this week as he had a special surprise for the members of IE.  Knowing McHale, this will be something IE never expected and will slow down their plans for world domination.  But with Johnny Z at the helm of Impact Elite, “The Natural Born Leader” will have mechanisms already in place so that even if McHale’s announcement throws him a curves, Z will have an answer for it somewhere down the line.

Impact Elite has run through a big chunk of the roster of wrestlers in IZW and they are just getting started.  If IZW is going to survive while resembling some form of its glorious past, all hands must be on deck as every wrestler in the locker room that is not associated with IE needs to speak with a unified voice.  But with so many wrestlers having individual and even short sighted agendas is that even possible?  It very well could be a reality, especially now, with Double D and The Bronze Bull both sharing a common goal of overthrowing and destroying Impact Elite.  These two legendary wrestlers could set the tone for the entire roster by joining forces.  

Also on tap for this weekend, for the first time, security camera footage will be revealed on the hit and run that Impact Division Champion Damien Morte experienced after Coronation.  As of this writing, the assailant or assailants are still a mystery.  Hopefully the footage will shed some light onto what type of coward would use a 2-ton vehicle as a weapon to try and permanently incapacitate “The Patriot of Pain”.

All these questions and more will be answered on this week’s live edition of IZW Adrenaline!  Watch all the feuds and all the rivalries inside and outside of the ring. Tune in to the Southwest's premiere wrestling federation and find out what will happen next!

Conflict MMA Promotions - Fight Night at the Point 9 Preview on GFL.tv

Conflict MMA Promotions returns on June 1 with Fight Night at the Point 9, a mega card, emanating from the Omar Shrine Temple in Mt Pleasant, South Carolina.  Fight Night at the Point 9 promises to tear the house down as all the top fighters from the Dirty South will be squaring off in the cage in front of a rabid audience.   

In the main event, Jeremy Severn (2-0) from South Carolina battles Lawson McClure (8-4) of Georgia.  Severn has proven perfect in his professional career with both wins coming via stoppage in the first round.  Severn is a well-rounded fighter who is known for his submission game, but has also improved his standup and it has started to pay dividends as he scored a TKO in his first pro bout.  McClure brings the experience advantage into the cage and is looking to start a winning streak at Severn’s expense.  McClure is a solid wrestler who grinds out opponents, breaking their wills over the course of a three round fight.  McClure loves to bring the fight to his opponents and is always in attack mode.  This will be a huge test for Severn as McClure is a cut above any other opponent he has faced.  McClure is intent on giving Severn his first pro loss and will push the pace from the opening bell.  Don’t miss this shootout.

In the co-main event, Jeremy Stevens (6-4) of South Carolina fights Keith Bell (3-2-1) from North Carolina in a heavyweight scrap.  Stevens is coming off a controversial decision loss in his last outing and looks to change the tide when he steps into the cage on June 1.  Stevens is a heavy puncher who has KO’d several opponents as well as getting a couple submission due to strikes.  Every punch is thrown with malice from Stevens.  Bell won his last fight in 12 seconds from a head kick.  In fact, all but one of Bell’s fights have ended before the final bell.  That makes Bell an unpredictable fighter as his high risk-high reward style of fighting is hard to game plan for.  Expect fireworks from these two gladiators as odds are someone is going down hard.

Conflict MMA Promotions is back with another epic card in front of a worldwide audience courtesy of the GFL Combat Sports Network.  Watch Fight Night at the Point 9 on June 1.  If you can’t be there live, stream the show online at GFL.tv.

ACW 250 Preview on GFL.tv

The leading professional wrestling organization in the Mountain West region returns to Colorado Springs, Colorado as well as GFL.tv as Asylum Championship Wrestling (ACW) presents ACW 250.  This is the 250^th show in ACW’s storied 11 year history and number 250 promises to continue to push the envelope and raise the stakes for the outlaw wrestling promotion.

At ACW Revolution, WWE Tough Enough Alum Martin Casaus became the new ACW Heavyweight Champion by working the system and eventually defeating The Candy Mann in a highly controversial series of events.  Casaus feigned injury earlier in the night and when The Candy Mann lowered his guard, Casaus struck.  What was even more jaw dropping was who Casaus aligned himself with, joining Quinn Industries, the new owner and face of ACW.  

Jeremy Quinn returned to ACW with an assortment of rugged individuals in tow and has already made his presence felt as the new muscle behind ACW.  Quinn Industries boasts the ACW Champion Casaus along with the ACW Tag Team Champions, The Investment, and also has a working relationship with former ACW Champion Danger Dean.  This all-star cast has made any resistance to Quinn Industries almost a moot point.  And rumor is, Quinn and Co. will be handing out pink slips to several active wrestlers on the ACW roster.  A number of athletes will be walking on egg shells when they show up to the Big House Sports Arena.  But if founder and former owner Brandon Bishop can do anything to throw a monkey wrench into the seemingly unstoppable machine that is Quinn Industries, he will.  Expect Bishop to make his presence known as only he can on this card and continue to be a thorn in the side of Quinn Industries.   

Every ACW Title to be on the line at ACW 250, when Martin Casaus makes his first title defense.  The Investment is sure to find a pair of up and coming young grapplers that want to take a crack at their titles, rumor has it that the American Pitbulls are chomping at the bit for a shot.  And of course, ACW Institutional Champion, Rob Ryzin will be in the house to put his title on the line.  Also in breaking news, a Woman’s Champion will be crowned for the first time ever as six women go for gold!

Find out what happened to Paul “The Gamer” Stitch after suffering a fractured jaw at the hands of “The Widowmaker” Angel Williams at ACW Revolution.  Stitch has something to get off of his chest and will be in the house and on the mic.  Also scheduled to appear are Cody Jones, Caleb Crush, The Real Joshua Todd, Teila, Paloma Starr, Joey Kincaide and many, many more!

IZW Adrenaline May 18 Review on GFL.tv

The May 18 of IZW Adrenaline episode began to bring into focus the actions of Jermaine Johnson at Coronation and why he turned his back on everything he ever stood for and aligned himself with IZW Champion Johnny Z.  We also got an update on the situation of Impact Division Champion Damien Morte who was involved in a hit and run that put the “Patriot of Pain” on the shelf.    IZW Adrenaline was also jam-packed with great wrestling and the evolution of Impact Elite.

In the opening bout, Big Business (Damon Windsor & Kevin Morgan) took on the East-West Playaz (Midnite Rider & Soto Miyagi) in tag team action.  Both Morgan and Windsor worked over Miyagi in quick order giving Miyagi the boots, a clothesline and a jumping leg drop by Windsor.  Miyagi battled back and tagged in Rider after a jaw breaker on Windsor then Rider followed up with a Russian leg sweep.  Windsor would not stay down for long as he outmuscled Rider landing a clothesline and tagging in Morgan.  After a quick tag by Miyagi, Morgan and Windsor looked like the Big Business of old here, working over Miyagi by always keeping a fresh man in the ring.  It looked like their troubles at Coronation were behind them.  Windsor hit a sidewalk slam and then went for a choke slam, but Miyagi wiggled out from behind and tagged in Rider who gave BB a double head butt.  A couple bionic elbows later, and Big Business was seeing stars.  With the ref distracted, Double D joined the fracas giving Big Business a springboard double mule kick followed by a flying knee to both Windsor and Morgan.  Jermaine Johnson rushed out to the ring, along with Johnny Z and the rest of Impact Elite as Double D sprinted away.  In all the commotion, Miyagi rolled up Windsor for the 1-2-3.

After the match, Johnson let the Impact Arena and everyone watching at home on GFL.tv know just why he sided with Johnny Z at Coronation.  In Johnson’s mind, Double D is a phony and the people who cheer for Double D are no better.  In Johnson’s view, D is a straight up cheater and a cheater that is applauded by the crowd.  Johnson referenced the run in by Double D in Big Businesses match only moments before as proof to what he was talking about.  Johnson called D a coward and made clear he was now a follower of “The Natural Born Leader”.  Johnson pledged his allegiance to Z and promised to be a problem-solver for Z in whatever he needed.  Johnson turned to Windsor and told him to his face that the problem with Impact Elite was him.  After that, Johnson, Johnny Z, Jordan Jacobs, The Convict and Kevin Morgan, yes even Kevin Morgan, put the boots to Windsor in a gang-style beat down.  Windsor was set up in the corner and everybody got a turn landing one of their top moves on the semi-conscious, now former member of Impact Elite, culminating with a Big Boot by ringmaster Johnny Z and a spear by former partner Morgan.  

After the thrashing, “The Number 1” Shawn McHale appeared on the Impact Tron and let Z and everyone in Impact Elite know that he had something big in store for all of them in one week.  In fact, McHale alluded to the fact that after next week, some of the members in IE might not be members anymore.  You can bet that McHale has thought this thing through from every possible angle and will make good on his promise to shake things up with Impact Elite come next week. 

In other news, the plot thickened in the Damien Morte hit and run scandal.  It was announced that there is security camera footage showing the hit and run that put the Impact Division Champion on the shelf and that footage will be revealed next week.  Morte is still resting and recovering and it took a 2 ton vehicle to do what no person in IZW could, put Morte in the hospital.   

Up next was The Canadian Red Devil taking on “The Brass Bull” Bobby Starr.  Starr is coming off a tremendous match at Coronation where he came inches away from winning the Impact Player of the Year Tournament against Jordan Jacobs.  But it was not his night and he looked to regroup against CRD.  CRD started out hot by grounding Starr with some solid mat-based wrestling.  Devil isolated Starr’s left shoulder and twisted, torqued and attacked it with punches as he methodically began to break Starr down.  At one point, Devil locked in the sharpshooter as a nod to Canadian great Bret Hart.  Starr would not tapout as he got to the ropes and got the ref to break the hold.  Starr finally turned the tide with a flying elbow and a flying clothesline in the corner.  CRD made his comeback culminating by planting Starr on his face with a variation of the Unprettier.  CRD went for another Unprettier but it was defended by Starr who slapped on the sleeper hold.  Starr sunk in the choke deep under CRD’s chin and choked him out.  After the bout, Impact Elite came out to the ring and decimated not only Starr but CRD as well.  It appears, IE is not picky about dishing out beatings as Starr and Devil took the full force of an unprovoked stomping.   

Up next, two of wrestling’s top grapplers locked horns as Double D took on Jordan Jacobs.  This match was fast paced throughout as D and Jacobs chain wrestled for a while then Double D took charge and snapped Jacobs down to the mat and nearly knocked his block off with a knee to the head.  Jacobs responded by attacking the knees of Double D, one of D’s best weapons, as “Lights Out” gained control.  The two then traded chops finishing with D hitting a Force Chop, that knocked Jacobs off the ring apron and down to the floor.  When the action resumed in the ring, Jacobs was able to hit a modified stunner with D’s neck and throat hitting the top rope and dropping him on the mat.  Jacobs focused on D’s neck, sapping even more strength out of the Captain of the Force and lit D up with a running double knee to the chest in the corner.  Jacobs then hit a nice suplex but D reversed an Irish whip and hit a missile drop kick from the top rope.  D went up to the top rope for his patented crossbody, but Jacobs had scouted the move well and pushed D off his base, which crotched D.  Jacobs then delivered a superplex from the top rope as these two put this match into high gear.  Jacobs missed with another running double knees, and D made him pay with 10 knees to the face.  Double D hit the flying crossbody this time as he pinned Jacobs to the mat.   Jacobs’ night only got worse as The Bronze Bull came out and gave Jacobs a Greetings From Mt. Olympus. 

The Bronze Bull then went on to challenge The Convict for another match right then and there to finish what they started.  The Convict came out, with Erica and Jermaine Johnson in tow.  But The Convict would not be wrestling tonight.  Instead, Johnson stepped up to the plate as Impact Elite’s Problem Solver and challenged the Bronze Bull himself.  Erica co-signed the new bout and booked it as the main event for the evening.  

Up next, Striker took on the debuting Angel Camacho.  Striker looked to use his speed as he stayed away from the power of Camacho.  Striker went for a pinfall early with a sunset flip but Camacho kicked out.  Striker followed up with chops to the chest but Camacho shook off the blows and blasted Striker in the corner with a body splash.  Camacho made it two body splashes in a row followed by an enziguri that dropped Striker to the canvas.  The Puerto Rican Powerhouse showed that not only does he possess immense power and force, but that he is also light on his feet.  Camacho hit Striker with another body bump as Striker got the short end of the stick once again.  Camacho got a 2-count with a splash/pin combo.  Camacho continued with punches and forearms to Striker’s face.  Out of nowhere, Striker was able to land a spinebuster and change the tone of the match.  Not to be outdone, Camacho hit a Samoan drop.  Camacho went to the top rope and looked for another splash, but this time, Striker moved out of the way and Camacho crashed and burned on the wrestling canvas.  Striker immediately hit The Stroke and got the pinfall.  Striker showed what a cagey veteran he is as he hung in there long enough to capitalize on Camacho’s misstep.

In the main event, “What Wrestling Should Be” Jermaine Johnson squared off against The Bronze Bull one on one.  Bull bounced Johnson around the ring as he whipped Johnson’s body into the corners and made Johnson’s body a human pinball.  Johnson rolled out of the ring to get his bearings, but The Bronze Bull followed him and smacked Johnson’s body against the guardrails while giving him overhand rights and chops to the chest.  Johnson turned the tide, landing his own punches and using the metal barricade to his advantage.  Johnson dragged Bull back into the ring and hit a knee to the solar plexus that made Bull yell out in pain.  Bull tossed Johnson into the turnbuckle with such force that Johnson turned upside down and got tossed off the ropes moments later.  Bull added to his momentum with a running power bomb for a near fall.  Bull missed with a flying splash in the corner and Johnson decided to reciprocate the move, hitting his version of the splash followed by a devastating drop kick that put Bull down on his back.  Johnson landed more punches and then a clothesline, but The Bronze Bull would not stay down for a count of 3!  Johnson tossed Bull out of the ring where Erica used the opportunity to dig her high heeled shoes into Bull’s windpipe.  Once the in ring action resumed, Johnson and Bull traded chops until Bull hoisted Johnson up for a Greetings From Mt. Olympus.  But in a show of athleticism not witnessed by many, Johnson flipped out of the move and landed a head kick to Bull’s cranium.  With Bull down, Johnson rose to the tope rope looking to land a flying elbow, but Bull moved at the last possible second and Johnson hurled to the ground.  Johnson recovered and looked for an ES2, but that was blocked by The Bronze Bull who leveraged Johnson into the Throne of Olympus.  Just as Johnson was about to tapout, Jordan Jacobs rushed to the ring and hit Bull with a double axe handle to break up the hold.  The Bronze Bull was awarded the victory via disqualification but was now surrounded by not only Jacobs and Johnson but Morgan, The Convict and Johnny Z as well.   The Bronze Bull was beaten unmercifully just like Damon Windsor, Bobby Starr and The Canadian Red Devil before him.  The final scene was hard to watch as The Convict gave a broken and battered Bronze Bull a 15 to 20.  Can anything stop this upgraded version of Impact Elite?

Breakthrough MMA - Proving Ground n Pound 8 Review on GFL.tv

Breakthrough MMA provided a great night of fights as multiple titles were on the line for its debut on GFL.tv!  Proving Ground n Pound 8 emanated from the Daytona Beach Ocean Center in Daytona Beach Florida culminating in  9 out of 13 fights ending in KO or submission.

Anderson Hutchinson (8-0) beat Nahshon Nicks (3-1) via guillotine choke to retain the featherweight title in the first round.  It was a technical grappling fight as both athletes showed their merit on the ground, with Hutchinson going for submissions, including a rear naked choke, while Nicks fought off the attempts and got back to his feet.  But Hutchinson was relentless and wanted to get the fight back to the ground which he did after stopping a takedown attempt by Nicks and grabbing a standing guillotine, then pulling guard and when Nicks went to roll through the move, Hutchinson rolled too and ended up in the mount with the choke still locked in.  The guillotine from this position not only chokes the air out of a person, but is excruciatingly painful.  Nicks tapped out as Hutchinson defended his title.  The worst part for Nicks was he tapped out with one second left in the round.   

In more championship action, Alex Nicholson (3-5) defeated Mike Miller by second round guillotine in a Middleweight Title fight.  Miller imposed his will in round one with wrestling and ground and pound.  In round two, Miller shot in for a takedown and left his neck open as Nicholson grabbed ahold and sunk in the choke.  Nicholson cranked away at it until Miller tapped out.  

Dillon Gower (3-2) defeated Luis Buros via triangle choke in round two to become the inaugural flyweight champion.  These two fought at a rapid pace the whole fight, and were trading strikes through most of the first round.  Gower got a nice takedown and ended up in the closed guard of Buros.  Buros looked to stall the action out on the mat as he kept his guard closed and held on to Gower.  It worked as the fighters made their way back to their feet seconds later and Buros tried to close the distance and catch a jumping guillotine but it wasn’t tight and the bell ended signaling an end to the round.  In round two, Gower got an immediate takedown and after a quick scramble locked on a D’arce choke, but Buros stayed cool in the situation and did not tap.  Gower was relentless and transitioned to a triangle choke where he caught Buros and got the tapout victory.
