Congratulations to Ian King and Cameron Ericson for representing DFCC at the Midtown Throwdown cage fights in Eugene over the weekend.
Cameron won his fight at 1:36 of the first round via TKO.
Ian was fighting for the 145 title. Early in the first round he got rattled by an uppercut, but still secured the takedown, landing in top position on his opponent. The referee stepped in and called it, saying that Ian was knocked out. Controversial call.
