CW MMA: BLOODSHED (REVIEW)
Live from the SOLD OUT Paddy O’Malley’s Bar and Grill in Helsinki, Finland we had a total of 10 fights and only 3 of them went the distance. Bloodshed truly held up to its name as these fighters went all out for fame and fortune!
UNDERCARD BOUTS
1) Rich Voss vs Patryk Mikolajczyk (Lightweight Bout [155 LBS])
Rich Voss looked ready to make the most of this opening bout by coming out fast and furious against Patryk Mikolajczyk, landing a smooth counter takedown and firing off multiple submission attacks. A mistake by Voss puts him on his back for a moment, but the slick jitz of this kid kept him out of danger even as Mikolajczyk went for his own submission. The first round came up all Voss as he started raining down blows from up top in the final two minutes. Voss continued to dominate in the second round, quickly dumping Mikolajczyk to his back and getting the best of the exchanges on the mat. Finally, it becomes too much for Patryk as Voss slaps on a hellacious Kimura and gets the tap.
Result: Rich Voss via Submission 3:37 of Round 2
2) Jose Rivelino Atunes vs Israel Okoye (Heavyweight Bout [265 LBS])
Atunes quickly got to work and hurt Okoye with multiple strikes. Okoye keeps his wits about him and begins to move defensively and finds salvation when he catches Atunes on the back foot with a crisp takedown. Okoye was content to hold there and Atunes responded with multiple sub attempts from the bottom with little effect. Okoye goes the distance on top, but the early damage from Atunes secured him the victory.
Result: Jose Rivelino Atunes via Unanimous Decision
3) Micky War vs KT "The Ultimate" Delight (Light-Heavyweight Bout [205 LBS])
Delight literally kicked this off with a head kick attempt, but War crisply answered with a 1-2-3 that backed Delight up to the cage. KT then created some space with his striking and circled away as War threw some heat but it doesn’t take long for KT to go on the defensive. KT starts looking to clinch but War wants none of that and keeps his distance. After a couple of stiff body kicks from Delight, War moves in and secures the clinch and goes to work with some dirty boxing and cracks Delight with an uppercut that puts him on skates. War follows up to the body and secures the clinch again, not giving Delight a chance to recover. With defense an afterthought, War unloads with uppercuts to the head putting KT to the mat and ending the fight.
Result: Micky War via TKO 3:12 of Round 2
4) Mega Minion vs Jimmy Navarro (Welterweight Bout [170 LBS])
Minion immediately shoots a takedown and is turned away by Navarro. Minion tries to close distance, but Navarro is keeping to the outside and scoring from distance. Minion pressures with takedown attempts and finally scores one and starts raining strikes down from side control. Navarro with nowhere to go as Minion changes it up with various submission attempts. This variable assault continues for multiple minutes and seems to put Navarro in trouble at times but not enough to finish him. Navarro has some success in transition but it bears no fruit as the round ends.
Round 2 begins with an almost immediate return to the mat by Minion. He continues to pour it on until Navarro catches him in a sweep and reverses positions! Navarro tries to get back to his feet but Minion’s closed guard prevents that as he continues to hunt for submissions from the bottom. Inexperience on display as Navarro looks confounded by this predicament. The horn sounds for the end of the round. Minion was the busier of the two but Navarro was still able to maintain dominant position.
Round 3 opens up with Minion staying consistent and firing off another opening takedown. Navarro now clearly respects the grappling and sprawls with Minion, ending up clinched briefly but escaping that as well. Navarro scores from distance but keeps aware of the distance and continues to move out of range. To his dismay, Minion counters a combination with a takedown and the onslaught continues for Minion. Navarro can only hold on and try to get up but Minion is not having it. Eventually the storm of strikes subsided and Minion retains position until the referee stands them up with only a few seconds remaining. Minion dances away feeling as if he’s done enough and according to the judges he has. Barely.
Result: Mega Minion by Split Decision (30-28, 28-29, 30-29)
5) Terrance "Rhyno" Gerin vs Brock "The Beast" Lesnar (Heavyweight Bout [265 LBS])
Lesnar aggresses early but Gerin keeps him at bay and connects with a combination that sends Lesnar reeling. Both fighters continue to throw but slick defense keeps them at arms distance. Gerin staves off a sloppy takedown from Lesnar and cracks him with a right that jellies his legs. Lesnar has the heart of a warrior and recovers surprisingly fast but gets sat down with another crisp right for his efforts. Lesnar gets right back up and goes on the assault but the Rhyno plays the Matador here and avoids any damage eventually ending Lesnar with an uppercut and follow on strikes.
Result: Terrance Gerin via TKO 1:53 Round 1
