This is supposedly from 11/17/07 in Chicago, but the first fight on the list of bouts is one I've reviewed like twice now from '05. Oh, its a "classic match".
1) MAC DANZIG vs. TAKUMI NAKAYAMA
Why even review this fight? I think most of the boxed sets have it now. Nakayama gets beat up bad and goes back to ZST. Won't even score it.
2) RODNEY SLEEPERS vs. KENNY MARTIN: Just saw Sleepers making his debut...3 months after this fight when he's 2-1.
Clinch early, Sleepers with the takedown. Rounds are short so nothing happens. Second round is the same thing. And the third. Sleepers wins. (0)
3) JASON CABLE vs. STEVE CAMPBELL: Heavyweights of the SUPER variety.
Whales rolling around. Defecation. Campbell is the fatter of the two and wins in spite of nearly being stopped in the last round.
4) ADAM BASS vs. ANTHONY GOTT: I have no idea whoy they are. Gott is from Saginaw, is undersized by ten lbs, is 8 years older, and is debuting against a 9-2 fighter.
Gott is obliterated. (0)
5) ANDY HAHN vs. SAM JACKSON: Jackson is from bumfuck, TX and has a record of 3-13.
Jackson with some body punching and a takedown, and he's oddly enough winning this fight early. Oh, he just got swept. Mounted. Survives to the bell though. The second starts and, well, its the same deal, except this time the fight is stopped. (0)
6) DARIUS TURCINSKAS vs. ANTONIO CANAS: No idea who these guys are.
Darius is on his back early and then goes for a armbar from guard and its over. (0)
7) BILLY KIDD vs. MYRON NEISLER:
Kidd is trashing Neisler with punches on the mat and standing. Neisler can only go for takedowns. Not the most competitive beating. Pretty comprehensive though. (0)
8) JEREMY GENIN vs. NATU VISINA: Heavyweights. One of them in gi pants.
Genin beats up the guy in pants who just covers and falls when touched. (0)
9) MATT JAGGERS vs. LAZAR STOJADINOVIC: The guy with the long name is making his debut against a guy who was just in Sengoku for a very short run.
Jaggers with a takedown and he's in side control soon enough. Stojadinovic locks a triangle choke in though somehow and....wins? I look up the guy's record and he actually has a win over Jaggers already. Oh, MMA. (0)
10) BRYCE FRANCK vs. TROY KING: Another mismatch according to the records listed in favor of King.
There is like one camera being used for this shoot and its all over the place and bouncing around. This fight is starting out as a primary standup fight and its actualy not bad. King lands a sweet right hand and Franck is dropped for a flash knockdown and survives the first. Wild exchanges in the second with Franck landing a bunch of punches to King's head against the cage, but King pushes him around in the thai clinch. Fight ends after 6 minutes and Franck wins the decision. (0)
11) RYAN STURDY vs. TONY BONELLO: Bonello was last seen ruining untrained kids in a warehouse for MTV.
Bonello with a body kick, then a takedown with back control. Seems like this will be all Bonello, but Sturdy actually stands up and gets a takedown of his own. He then mounts Bonello and lands some punches. This is why Bonello doesn't fight decent fighters more often than not. Bonello goes for a leg lock and ends up eating more punches. All Sturdy. Good combination punching from Bonello begins to dent up Sturdy, who reacts by running briefly and then shooting for a takedown after Bonello loses focus and decides to look to the crowd for inspiration. Sturdy has a bunch of cuts now and the doctors are out to look at him. After they allow him back in, Sturdy goes for an immediate shot and Bonello defends. Much of the round is spent from then on with Bonello in dominant positions and landing punches to Sturdy. The round could be legit scored a 10-8, but with both winning a round cleanly, the pair of offsetting 10-9s hardly shock. (1)
12) JOE KENNEDY vs. HECTOR URBINA: Another Urbina/nobody fight to see today.
Urbina went for a big takedown and Kennedy puts his feet on the mat before he's flipped over. Then he's taken down with a trip takedown instead. Urbina with hammer fists and punches and Kennedy is clearly very lost in there. Urbina lands some punches in the clinch and Kennedy just shuts down and sorta melts. (0)
13) ZACH JENKINS vs. ROB MENIGOZ: Jenkins is 12-5, supposedly, Menigoz is making his debut.
Trip takedown by Jenkins into half guard. Menigoz looks like he's got no future in this one being put on his back, but when he gets back to the standup, he hurts Jenkins very quickly, and its Menigoz in back control and throwing bombs till Jenkins is out. (0)
FIGHT OF THE NIGHT: Bonello/Sturdy
KO OF THE NIGHT: Kennedy/Urbina
SUBMISSION OF THE NIGHT: Stojadinovic/Jaggers
OVERALL FOR EVENT: 3.5 out of 10. Not too special because of all the mistmatches but some decent fighters are on this show and the Bonello draw was good.
D&R Rating: 2% (1/60)
