Don’t under estimate Trent Draper….you will be surprised when you see him fight.
DeWayne Costin is fighting out of The Hive!!!
@Jennifer Buzzaird
Got it. I’ll update that.
go edgar
verdin
Man this play by play is awesome for those of us that couldn’t be there. Cagedoor.net ROCKS!
Glad you guys are enjoying it! Intermission time.
@ Jose – Edgar is up next
Sounds like lots of fun there. thanks for posting all the action.
Does Craig know he looks like a child molester and not a “gentleman mauler” with that ’stache??
Here’s hoping JDF’s debut fight is a win
i hope craig gets the title with that ’stache.
Title fight up next.
Awesome Anaconda with a gator roll.
JDF up next.
Are you sure it wasnt a ’stache choke??
what was the time? how many minutes and seconds did Jason Frank beat Jonathon Mack at?
What Song was Used for Jason’s Entrance.
The JDF fight looked like a staged fight! What is this… the WWF?!
@michael 1:28 in the first.
@Marty “Game 9Oer” by ‘lil Flip was his walk out music.
Sorry, that should say “Game Over” – don’t txt and drive kids!
@FAN listening to his interviews and getting an idea of who he is and his martial arts background I doubt Jason did a fixed fight. He’s way better than that. Jonathon Mack was (1-0) coming in this fight. Why would someone with only one fight do that?
you forgot to mention the sweet spinning backfist by garcia that landed clean…probably the best shot of the night!
Ture indeed Jace. Sorry I missed it. Things move pretty quick and it’s hard to get everything down.
that arm bar by Corey Allmand was brutal.
@David Agreed.
That’s why Rich and I have given it “Submission of the Night”. That makes Corey eligible for our end of year awards. Congrats Corey.
BTW Guys – we are still trying to confirm, but we are told that Brandon Ferris’s arm is in fact broken.
Any video coverage? I want to see some of those armbars again. Guys just were not tapping last night.
no worries>yeah that armbar was sick. i was cringing when it broke.
Last night had a ton of slick submissions! The Stache choke was epic
Man, i went to that event last night
Corey Allmand is 17 years old, I grew up with that kid, the guy he fought was 24 years old, and Corey took his ass in 37 seconds in the first round, broke the guys arm, was very insane! Man, most of the fighters had their own fan section in the crowd, but when they announced how young Corey was, the entire crowd was on his side! I thought it was great, the guy had it coming, he trash talked Corey alot, especially during the weigh in, I can tell he’s gonna be at the top in no time.
That Corey Kid Is Legit! Id like to see a rematch between him and Brandon. Break the other arm COREY!!! Good Job Man!
Those guys out of tookes mma looked pretty legit! That Garcia Kids spinning back hand landed flush!! He could take a punch too! G’s standup was pretty damn good too ( needs to work on his cardio though!!) Anyone have any video on there fights or pics of that acrobatic spin stuff Garcia Did???
I agree with that Pimp C! Corey Allmand was Sharp! How about that back kid Garcia through to that kids Head?? I’d like to see a picture of that!
I meant the Back KICK Garcia Threw! You can see all the fights on legacyfightingchampionship.com
are there any links to video of the cody watkins fight?
@Michael P.- Possibly for the exposure and not having much to lose… Watch some of Jason Frank’s old tapes- there is a theme. I give the guy credit for getting in the ring but not sold he is the real deal just yet. He is clearly very green (no pun intended) in his jiu-jitsu(technical skills and execution).
