NAAFS Cage Fighting (10/23/2010)

Looks like these fights are from Eve of Destruction, the NAAFS' first all women's show. Fun notes: NAAFS got some new graphics for this show, and in addition, I noticed that Intimidation Fight Wear (who are the same company as MMA promoter ICF, recently reviewed) are running commercials here.

1) Andria Caplan vs. Jenelle Bloom: 155lb amateur MMA women's bout.

FIGHT: Caplan TKO Rnd 1. The worst fight I've seen in years. Just lousy punching. Bloom was pushing her hand out and throwing behind it with these pushed punches and...god. It was so bad. So. Bad. (0)

2) Summer Artherton vs. Jordan McDonald: 115 lb bout.

FIGHT: McDonald Submission Rnd 1. Submission comes at the end of the round just as the bell rings. McDonald was on the bottom, goes for an armbar, pulls her down and straightens it. Standup wise there's nothing to speak of here, Artherton also just got suckered in and the way she got swept into the armbar was...unfortunate. (0)

3) Tera Carper vs. Tamikka Brents: 155 lb fight. Brents is listed as undefeated still so...yeah. No idea. She lost like a month prior.

FIGHT: Brents TKO Rnd 1. Brents drags her down and beats her with punches until the ref stops. Just that simple. Absolute mugging. (0)

4) Amanda Wilcoxen vs. Jessica Zomcik: Seen Zomcik before. Apparently this was her only loss. Fight's at 155.

FIGHT: Zomcik Unanimous Decision. Basically two rounds of Zomcik jabbing every 30 seconds, and occasionally landing a right hand. In the third she shoots and takes down Wilcoxen, operating in her guard for about a minute and a half until the bell rings. Not an entertaining fight. (0)

OVERALL FOR THE SHOW: 1 out of 10. I'll be the first to tell people that I don't really like women's MMA. This show was terrible stuff. One competitive fight and it was painfully boring and inactive.
