Send to Kindle

This Weekend in Fights! (June 30th) featured the Montreal debut of Instinct MMA, Resurrection Fighting Alliance in Nebraska, Championship Fighting Alliance in Florida, and Madness Fighting Competition in Aruba.

Instinct MMA held it’s fourth event and their first in Montreal at Centre Pierre-Charbonneau. The event had many exciting bouts, delivering a great show for local fans. The main event was headlined with a Welterweight showdown between two knockouts artists in Grudge Training Center’s Brandon Thatch and Quebec standout Martin Grandmont.With the combination of skill sets it was apparent from the opening bell that this bout would not go to the judges score cards. However, the result was not what many may have been predicted as Thatch submitted Grandmont with a rear-naked choke. After  a few exchanges of high kicks, Thatch brought the bout to the mat where he delivered a few strikes forcing Grandmont to give up his back. With the opening Thatch took advantage sinking in his hooks and the choke to end the bout in under two minutes.

Quebec fan favorite Thierry Quenneville returned to MMA after semi-retirement to take on UFC and STRIKEFORCE  veteran Luke Caudillo in Lightweight action. Quenneville pushed the pace and kept his distance throughout all three rounds picking his spots with combos and backing away. Quenneville stayed calm and even did a little trash talking but fought a very safe fight to win all three rounds on the judges score cards in a very successful return.

Former Dallas Maverick, ECW & OVW pro wrestler turned kickboxer turned MMA fighter Radu Spinghel and France native kickboxer and Tristar trainee Oulmoudéné Najebe squared off in a Heavyweight bout. Najebe made short work of the seven footer by shoving him to the mat for a 43-second TKO.  Najebe  pounced on Spinghel and  pounded him out, forcing the referee to step in when Spinghel wasn’t defending himself.

The fight of the night was a Middleweight bout between Strahinja Gavrilovic and Derek Parker. Parker was won both rounds one and two, by connecting with repeated legs kicks to Gavrilovic’s lead leg to the point that a huge visible welt was forming and Gavrilovic was hurt with each kick. Parker was very cocky and threw very powerful strikes, but ate some in the process and was caught late in the third round. Gavrilovic landed a huge right hand dropping Parker to the mat, where he followed up with some ground and pound that was halted by the referee. (Intinct MMA 4 Quick Results below – Round-by-Round Coverage Hear.)

Resurrection Fighting Alliance of RFA held their third event at the Viaero Event Center, in Kearney, Nebraska. TUF 2 Winner Joe Stevenson and Gay Porn star Dakota Cochrane headlined the event.  A 16-time UFC veteran Joe “Daddy” Stevenson joined the UFC after winning Season 2 of the Ultimate Fighter in 2005 by defeating Luke Cummo. With a total of 16-bouts over six years, Stevenson was release after dropping after losing four straight fights. His opponent Dakota Cochrane a veteran of 16 porn films attempted to make Season 15 of the Ultimate Fighter but lost a split decision to James Vick. A Nebraskan native, Cochrane most notable defeated Jamie Varner for Titan Fighting Championship, but went 0-2 in RFA since. Nonetheless the two took to the cage.  Cochrane snapped his two fight losing skid and improved his RFA record to 1-2 when finished off  Stevenson in a very familiar position; behind him. Cochrane submitted Stevenson with a rear-naked choke 64-seconds into the second round adding a fifth loss in a row for Stevenson. (Full RFA 3 – Stevenson vs. Cochrane event results below.)
