"Ragin" Kajan Johnson (15-10-1) Vs. "The Cowboy" Myles Merola (9-6)

 

Both men spent most of the time trying to get a takedown. The men showed they were strong and willing as neither of them went down. At the end of the final round both men were very tired. Pretty close match in terms of grappling. Johnson would try to get some strong punches in, but "The Cowboy" wasnt affected by the punches. As I said none of the grapples worked until the final round. Final minute. Myles got Johnson up against the cage and I was waiting for a takedown, but I lost track of time. As soon as Johnson was pinned. The final bell rang. It was a okay match. Very boring. I was betting that it would be a great match, but let's just say. I'm not going to Vegas anytime soon. However I think once in at the start of the first round Johnson got a great punch in. That was about it.

 

Result: "The Cowboy" Myles Merola def. "Ragin" Kajan Johnson (Unanimous Decision 5:00 of Round 3)

"The Matrix" Victor Valimaki (13-5) Vs. "The Gladiator" Travis Galbraith (17-6)

 

I just have to say that was a great first round. If I had to say who won the round. It would have to be Victor. The two men started toe-to-toe, but Victor took the lead against Travis. I'll have to go with Victor for round two as well. I'll say that only because he got some dirty boxing. There is no doubt to throw Travis under the rug, but he did manage to throw some powerful punches. Round three was just another round of Victor beating the living Hell outta Travis. I was hoping for a comeback kid to have Travis punch Victor out of nowhere with the KO, but that didn't happen as all we saw were punching and failed takedowns. I think the Judges agree. Victor wins! No surprises there, but I'll give our light heavyweights some credit. It wasnt the match of the year, but I sure think they put on a Hell of a show. Congrats to both men.

 

Result: "The Matrix" Victor Valimaki def. "The Gladiator" Travis Galbraith (Unanimous Decision 5:00 of Round 3)

Juan Barrantes (7-4) Vs. Bibiano "The Flash" Fernandes (5-2)

 

Wow. Just wow. That was the match that made the crowd come alive! Great match. Juan never saw the kimura and quite frankly. Neither did I!

 

Result: Bibiano "The Flash" Fernandes def. Juan Barrantes (Submission in 1:17 of Round 1)

"The Beastman" Marvin Eastman (16-9-1) Vs. "Pelé" Jose Landi-Jons (23-14)

 

Round 1 must be the reason why they call Eastman, "Beastman." He threw some powerful punches, sure they did nothing on Jose, but he was knocked down by a few. About half-way in Round 2 Pelé began bobing and weaving. Easily one of his better ideas. Pelé had a great round, but I'm still going to have to give this Round to Eastman. With the lead up to Round 3 being all about the ground game. In which Eastman destroyed in.

 

Result: "The Beastman" Marvin Eastman def. "Pelé" Jose Landi-Jons (Unanimous Decision 5:00 of Round 3)

Dan Hornbuckle © (17-2) Vs. Carlo Prater (24-6-1)

 

Starting Round was pretty okay. Dan made this a wrestling match...well tried to. Carlo pretty much shutdown everything Dan was trying to do. Round 2 was the same, but Carlo forced Dan to get some strikes in. Last minute of the Round, Dan got Carlo on the ground ,and with his back against the cage. That may have been the turning point for Dan, but sadly time ran out. Round 3 had the change in it. Seeing Dan's trying for a takedown fail was funny. It was Round 3 in which he got the takedown. However the takedown wasn't in his favor. Dan was getting tired and we could easily see it. Carlo tried two times to get the triangle on him. Like they say. Third times the charm and in this case, it was. Dan had no other choice. He had to tap out or have a broken arm.

 

Result: Carlo Prater def. Dan Hornbuckle © (Submission in 3:40 of Round 3)

- After losing his title, Dan Hornbuckle, also failed a drug test. Resulting into a year long suspension.

 

- "The Cowboy" Myles Merola has been sidelined with a arm injury. He is going to be back in 25 days. Along with the man who was in the Submission of the Night match, Juan Barrantes, is taking a medical suspension for the next 43 days. We wish that both men make a strong comeback and rest well.

 

- In another news. We've learned that Affliction has made a offer to the man who had the Submission of the Night, Bibiano Fernandes. However Hunter Russell pulled Bibiano back into his arms with 6 more matches and 24 months. We managed to get a quote with Hunter leaving his office.

 

"Yeah. I'll tell you this. I don't like Affliction's little game to take away one of my rising stars. I see something in Bibiano and I'm sure Affliction did too, but only because he won the Submission of the Night. They did. I didn't. I knew Bibiano was going to be strong and fast. No one else agreed. I even posted some of his sparring and training. Every had money on Juan. I'm happy to have Bibiano on my roster. The Flash is still alive."

 

- On topic of Hunter Russell, we have news he is looking to expand the heavyweight division. As well as debut in the ring himself!

 

- We also have news that the next RAW Combat card will be posted on the website next month. A poll is being held on what the next name of the show will be...

 

(A) Painful Times

(B) Steel Hell

© Willing to Strike

(D) Other

 

 

(please vote on the next name...please.)
