Congratulations to DFCC team member Ian King on his victory at Midtown Throwdown III. Ian won his fight in 35 seconds with a very tight Juji-gatame (straight arm lock). It should also be noted that Ian was fighting up a weight class in this fight. Good job Ian.
Cameron Ericson was also going to be on the fight card, but his opponent dropped out at the last minute and a replacement was not found. After weeks of training Cameron was disappointed, but will be even more prepared for his next fight opportunity.
