NAAFS Cage Fighting (5/16/2010)

Taped 5/22, originally aired 5/16 I think. Fights were taped 4/24/2010.

1) Milan Wesley vs. Bob Rech: Who? Amateurs I think.

FIGHT: Wesley Submission Rnd 2. Lots of Rech having top control and positional dominance. However, Wesley has some skill and heart - he dropped Rech early in the fight with a punch, though he didn't really get to capitalize off it. In the second, Wesley scrambles to his feet, and is able to grab a rear naked choke from a sort of side position. (0)

2) Blaine Bailey vs. Tony Metsch: 150lb amateurs, I think.

FIGHT: Metsch Submission Rnd 1. Metsch is wild standing and so is his opponent. He gets this to the mat after Bailey shoots a single having been hurt by a punch, so I guess its not really his choice. Still, he sets up the triangle immediately and slowwwwwwly applies it. (0)

3) James Rankin vs. Nelson Best: Amateur heavyweight fight. Rankin is quite built, Best not so much.

FIGHT: Best KO Rnd 2. Huge knock out as Rankin drops his hands to exchange and eats a 3 punch combination. He never saw the right hand coming behind the jab. Neither guy looked great otherwise. They rushed Best to his feet for no good reason. (0)

4) Neal Craft vs. Mickey Hughes: Pro fight at middleweight. Craft is claimed to be 13-5, but that's with ammy fights. Reality? 2-3 as a pro.

FIGHT: Hughes TKO Rnd 1. Mismatch in reality. Craft throws some kicks early then gets dragged down and whooped on. (0)

OVERALL FOR THE EVENT: 2.5 out of 10. A mammoth KO but none of the fights were any good.
