RENAISSANCE MMA: RMMA 3 RESULTS By Percy Crawford| October 16, 2007 Kevin Burns defeated Kevin Roberts by 2nd round TKO (strikes) Both fighters came out winging hard shots, but Burns proved to be too tough and strong for Roberts. Once the fight went into the clinch, Burns used a nice Judo throw to get Roberts to the mat and started raining down shots. The 2nd round saw much of the same until the ref jumped in and halted the action. Michael Montelone defeated Michael Melito by 2nd round verbal submission Montelone landed a hard right hand to start off the action which led to Melito taking the fight to the ground where he landed some shots. Montelone reversed positions and avoided some triangle attempts by picking Melito up and slamming him down. In the 2nd round, the fight went to the ground immediately and ended with Montelone landing shots from a full mount. Melito complained to the ref about not being able to see and verbally submitted. David Castro defeated Gus Becnel by 3rd round TKO (strikes) The first 2 rounds were action-packed with a lot of ground work and maneuvering for position. Castro seemed to be the stronger of the two and finished off the fight with some ground and pound that forced a referee stoppage late into the round. Jodi Cazenave defeated David Pogue by 2nd round submission (rear naked choke) The fight went to the ground immediately with several submission attempts and reversals. The fighters were in awkward positions on a few occasions. The second round was another Jiu Jitsu battle until Pogue gave up his back. Cazenave landed some punches and hammer fists until he was able to sink in his hooks and flatten Pogue out and sink in the rear naked choke which forced Pogue to tap out. Cazenave was given the "Fighter of the Night" sword! Byron Byrd defeated Kenny Cavelier by 1st round TKO (strikes) This fight was a mismatch from the beginning. Byrd was all over Cavelier from the opening bell. He set a frantic pace that ended with him pounding on a covered up Cavelier until the referee halted the action in the opening stanza. R.J. Goodridge defeated Ryan Gautier by 1st round submission (triangle choke) Gautier was able to execute a nice slam on Goodridge, but fell right into Goodridge's guard. In the process of raining down punches, Gautier allowed Goodridge to secure a triangle choke in which he landed several shots to the top of Gautier's head forcing a tap. Jason Galjour defeated Henry Gomez by 1st round submission (rear naked choke) Another apparent mismatch where the skill set of Galjour was far superior to Gomez from the opening bell. Gomez fought hard, but was totally outclassed. He surrendered to a rear naked choke midway through round number 1. Rafael Chavez of (The Armory) defeated Chris Zuniga of (American Top Team) by 1st round TKO (strikes) in the lone pro bout of the night Chavez ran across the cage and delivered the perfect flying knee which knocked Zuniga onto his back and probably should've ended the fight. Chavez landed a few right hands for good measure until the ref halted the action 47 seconds into the bout. |
