Good news and bad news:
The good news is that Mike Frear successfully defended his 155 title by finishing his opponent in 38 seconds with a well timed arm-bar. Mike was also awarded "Knockout of the Year" by Northwest Fight Scene for his tornado kick in last year's UCS event at Spirit Mountain Casino.
The bad news is that both Cameron and Jessee fell short of victory in their fights.
Cameron was dominating his opponent early in the first round. He scored a couple of take-downs. In the last take-down, he stood up in his opponent's guard and leaned forward just a bit too much and got caught with a solid up kick that rocked him. The opponent jumped onto him and the referee stopped the fight due to unanswered blows.
Jessee also did very well in the early part of his fight. He rolled for a heel hook, switched to knee-bar and back to heel hook and ended up tangled up in turtle position underneath his opponent. His opponent took advantage of the position and started securing the RNC. Jessee put the opponent's back to the floor and made the effort to escape, but it was too late.
I am very proud of the effort our fighters put into their fights and the training they endured to prepare. We know that our fighters were well trained, well conditioned, and well prepared.
However, the combative sports are a type of kinetic chess where we hope to make our moves as accurate as possible and capitalize on our opponent's mistakes. One small misjudgment can cost everything.
None of our fighters were injured and the OSAC gave them the required minimal suspensions. They will all be back in the dojo training on Monday.
Thank you, to our fighters and corners who conducted themselves in a professional manner and represented our dojo very well.
Thank you everyone that made the trip up to Salem to show your support for our DFCC fight team. We almost always fight on the opponents' home turf, so it is super helpful to have some people in the audience cheering for us. It does not go unnoticed and it is greatly appreciated.
Next week Dynamic MMA is working with the Boys and Girls Club for their summer camp. This will be our third year providing martial arts instruction as an option for the kids enrolled in the summer camp.
I will post a sign up sheet at the dojo for anyone that would like to help out.
Later in the month, we will be going to Camp Millennium to provide martial arts training there. I will be seeking volunteers for this program as well. All volunteers for Camp Millennium are required to fill out and turn in a background check permission form.
