NAAFS Cage Fighting (12/26/2010)

More from the 11/24/2010 NAAFS show.

1) Nick Kilian vs. Chris Green: Amateur series welterweight fight. Green has some belts or something and is huge. He's 5 lbs heavier than Kilian.

FIGHT: Green Split Decision. Crap call.

Green: Green is a house afire in round one and gets a takedown and even maneuvers into a near rear naked choke finish. Good body kick too. Then he is tired and spends most of the rest of his fight on his back. Somehow, he still wins.

Kilian: Plain fighter who looks like he has some sort of wrestling background. His shot sucks but he can get the takedown out of the clinch, which is nice. Unfortunately, his striking is just OK and that means be gets tagged as much as he lands. Between all that, he can't clearly dominate someone on technique.

2) John Myers vs. Rhett Northcraft: Lightweight bout; pros.

FIGHT: Myers TKO Rnd 1. Northcraft goes straight backwards as Myers comes forward with punches, ducks low, and gets a takedown. He's got back control for about 2 minutes, Myers uses wrist control to stop the RNC, and ends up rolling over into the guard. From there, he passes the guard, prevents Northcraft from scrambling, and sorta tosses him down and beats the hell out of Northcraft in the mount, forcing a stop some 3 minutes in.

3) Marc Bennett vs. Mickey Hughes: Welterweight bout; pros. Bennett is undefeated, Hughes has fought Chris Lozano and some other guys who aren't as good.

FIGHT: Hughes Submission Rnd 1. D'arce choke, ever popular, finishes the fight. Before that comes, Bennett had gotten this to the mat out of the clinch with a sorta bodylock takedown, but Hughes regains the full guard quickly and goes for an armbar. Bennett escaped it and stayed on top, but gets caught with the D'arce trying to move around. Oops.


OVERALL FOR THE EVENT: 4 out of 10. Lousy decision for a hometown guy with a huge weight advantage, a D'arce choke, and a KOTC special. NAAFS brings the watchable and not much beyond that.

D&R Rating: 0%
