This edition of amateur fights was no exception. With celebrity guests UFC Vet Alan Belcher and BJJ Black Belt Tony Eduardo in attendance a 5 bout fight card was highlighted by two MMA matches.

The first MMA bout featured Ireland’s #3 ranked Featherweight Damo “You’re not the boss of me!” Rooney vs. Art Of War- Beijing veteran Ngoo Ditty. Ngoo showcased improved wrestling and submission defense before eventually falling victim to a fight ending armbar via Damo Rooney.

The nights Main event featured PPV KOTC Veteran Charles Cosens vs. Java Indonesia Gold Medalist Mike “Hutch” Hutchison.
