Real Fighting Championships 8 (2/23/07)

Another installment of RFC from Tampa. Guy Mezger and Jay Adams on the mics.

1) Mike Foster vs. Jorge Boechat: Welterweights I've not heard of I don't think. Foster is a lot bigger.

FIGHT: Foster TKO 2. Boechat pulled guard and later in the second goes for a toehold. Foster gets around to the back and throws punches that land on the shoulder and gloves, but Boechat doesn't really defend it or anything, so its stopped even though he's not the least bit hurt. Boring fight. (0)

Foster: Big. Avoids submissions. Not much else.

Boechat: No standup to speak of, not the most active off his back, but relies heavily on it anyways. His last fight was for EXC and he got tapped with a reverse triangle.

2) Josh Powell vs. Dieulhomme Chera (J Lee): 140lb bout. Powell is Team Punishment I think?

FIGHT: Chera Submission Rnd 1. Total ownage by J Lee, who nearly ends it in under 20 seconds with a guillotine. Then he transitions to a triangle after that when Powell's head pops out, and then to a straight armbar. That's it. Nothing really to review other than that Powell has an active guard but also a losing record now. (0)

3) Patrick Barrentine vs. Jon Schall: Heavyweights. Barrentine is from Jorge Gurgel's school and FAT. Schall got a easy KO his previous fight.

FIGHT: Barrentine Submission Rnd 1. Total domination from the 5'11'' 265 lb Barrentine. He gets Schall down on his back and Schall is useless there. In an attempt to push away Barrentine while Barrentine is looking to pass (he does the entire 4 minute fight), his leg is caught and he ends up tapping to a heel hook. (0) Neither has done anything.

4) Chris Oddo vs. Miguel Gonzalez: More heavyweights! Oh gee. Gonzalez is 290.

FIGHT: Ugly fight with dudes hugging, doing throws, getting incredibly dominant positions, and just losing them with complete ease. Gonzalez went from mount directly to standup without even his opponent bucking. Oddo had a rear naked given to him, misses, and then has his back taken in 5 seconds time. Sloppy grappling everywhere. Somehow they make it to the end of the first, and I am forced to see a second round. Oddo gets his eyesocket messed up in some clinch fighting and basically turns away and the ref is forced to step in. Gonzalez may be undefeated, but hasn't fought in 27 months. (0)

5) Courtney Martell vs. Liz Posener: This is the main event? Are you for real? 135. Neither of these girls are top anything right now in female fighting. Martell is way outsized.

FIGHT: Posener Submission Rnd 1. Martell gets her down to the mat and then promptly gives Posener her arm. After failing 3 times, Martell finally taps to an armbar. (0) Posener can sorta do submissions I guess and Martell should find a different hobby.

Oh, wait, it appears that this was the typical hour and a half program, but Sun Sports told me it was 1 hour. GREAT. So the real main events aren't even on here. If I ever watch this again, I'll update it.

FIGHT OF THE NIGHT: Foster/Boechat

KO OF THE NIGHT: Oddo/Gonzalez

SUBMISSION OF THE NIGHT: Powell/Chera

OVERALL FOR THE EVENT: 1 out of 10. Total waste of time.

D&R Rating: 0%
