1) Eric Herbert vs. Oliver Kimmions: Heavyweights. Heavy is a key here, because they are chubsters. This is apparently an amateur bout, BTW.
FIGHT: Herbert Submission Rnd 1. Easy fight for Herbert as he shoots real early, takes down Kimmions, ends up with an RNC. Herbert is the new Raging Wolf Amateur Heavyweight Champion. Fuck these belts. (0)
Kimmions: Did nothing.
Herbert: Needs to drop to middleweight. Possibly even 170, since he's 5'11''.
2) Christina Domke vs. Bethany Marshell: Women's fights. Domke looks a little ragged with the tattoos. Fight taken on 9 days notice. 5 minute rounds.
FIGHT: Marshell Submission Rnd 1. Marshell gets a d'arce super early standing and basically drags down Domke into unconsciousness. 20 seconds. No point in reviewing further. Marshell on a different planet.
3) Allan Arzeno vs. TJ Sumler: Northeast Regional Raging Wolf Welterweight Championship of the World Not fucking kidding. One dude is 2-1 and the other 3-0. Enough with the fucking title belts. Worse yet, this is a full 5 rounds.
FIGHT: Allen Arzeno UD. 5 round fight that was almost all standup. Sumler threw single jabs and shots, and Arzeno, a brawler, countered with kicks and right hands. Near the end of the 5th round, a knee was thrown by Sumler while Arzeno was in 3 point, and gets a point taken away to sinch it up. (0)
Arzeno: Gutsy guy who bleeds easily; had a couple cuts on his face from the punches. Dropped in the first round. Mezger style kicks that do not much damage. Basically won because his opponent let him.
Sumler: Had the distance he wanted, technically seemed better. But he didn't move his head and allowed himself to be timed the way he was punching. Also thumbed Arzeno in the eye multiple times in the fight. Sucker for low kicks. Nearly caught in an ugly armbar attempt in round 1 after trying to finish off Arzeno from a knockdown started with a right hand. Looked gassed 6 minutes in.
4) Luigi Fioravanti vs. Shane Primm: Fioravantai in the prefight interview segments say Raging Wolf is the equivalent of UFC. Me = LOL. He's also still soft in the middle. This is a three round fight. Yes, two UFC vets aren't fighting for a title, but some guys that you have never heard of did.
FIGHT: Fioravanti UD. Total domination by the former welterweight gatekeeper. Primm simply cannot do anything with him. (2)
Fioravanti: The same as always. His midsection is really soft, he's always looking for takedowns and control, though he doesn't really go for any submissions. Luigi gets cut very badly at the end of the fight somehow after defending a kimura. Primm never had him in trouble with submission attempts on the mat.
Primm: Fioravanti took his back standing and on the mat repeatedly. He just had no answer for Luigi any time he'd turn around on him. The only thing he was effective was (and Fioravanti agreed) were some knees in the first round that led Fioravanti to go to more of a wrestling strategy to win. Any time you're this easily controlled on the mat, there's a problem.
FIGHT OF THE NIGHT: Arzeno/Sumler
SUBMISSION OF THE NIGHT: Domke/Marshell
OVERALL FOR THE EVENT: 1.5 out of 10. Best aspect was the length of time it took to watch with the commercials and interview bits. The fights were either lousy and long or terrible and short.
D&R Rating: 10% (2/20)
