Judgment Night May 14, 2005 RESULTS Brad Schulte (Team Heretic) vs. Ezra Platt (Dragon Lair) Schulte lands some nice leg kicks, and quickly clinches before slamming Platt down and landing some big right hands. Platt locks in a tight armbar, which Schulte slams his way out of; Schulte passes to knee-on-stomach and attempts his own armbar. Platt defends and gets up, allowing Schulte to transition to a triangle choke, getting the tap after Platt briefly struggled to escape. Winner: Brad Schulte ***** Josh Greeley (Fightzone) vs. Dan Ferrer (Team Santos) Ferrer opens up with some big punches that mostly glance off; he lands a leg kick before shooting. Greeley defends the takedown in the corner; Ferrer picks up Greeley and slams him down into side mount. Greeley established a butterfly guard; Ferrer stands and lands a big left hand, falling fight into a triangle. Ferrer spends well over a minute in the triangle, while Greeley lands some right hands from the bottom, not with a whole lot of effect. Just as it looked like Ferrer had lost all his steam, Greeley lets up on the triangle; Ferrer immediately passes to side mount. Greeley establishes half guard; Ferrer gets posture and throws some big rights, falling back into Greeley’s guard. Ferrer unloads with lefts hands as Greeley attempts an armbar, eating at least a dozen left hands for his effort. Greeley goes for a kneebar; Ferrer sinks his weight down to defend. Ferrer lands a few punches to the body and head as the round ends. Round two opens with both little guys throwing leather; Ferrer is getting more punches through due to Greeley’s lack of reach. Greeley’s nose is bloodied as Ferrer lands some more rights. Ferrer shoots and Greeley sprawls; the two are caught in the corner when the action is stopped to check Greeley’s nose. After two minutes, the blood is stopped and the fight resumes. The two resume some with some big punches, with Ferrer doing the most damage. Ferrer ducks under a haymaker and shoots; Greeley rolls right through the takedown, and side mounts Ferrer for less than a second before Ferrer attempts a single as Greeley defends. The fight is stopped as Greeley’s nose starts bleeding again – seriously, the boxing commission needs to lighten up on the blood policy. Winner: Dan Ferrer ***** Mike Isaac (MSA II) vs. Rob McNeil (SSSFighting) McNeil immediately connect with a straight right and left that drop Isaac to a knee; Isaac rushes in to clinch, allowing McNeil to land some solid knees. As soon as McNeil gets the space, he lands two right-left combos that drop Isaac. Winner: Rob McNeil ***** Dyrel Walker (Team K-9) vs. Cesario de Souza (Dragon Lair) Walker opens up with some solid kicks and punches that force Souza to shoot; Walker reverses into Souza’s half guard, where he throws some big rights and lefts to the head and body. Souza establishes a spider-like guard, but eats some more punches for his efforts. Walker stands and trades some more; Souza shoots and clinches with double underhooks as Walker defends. He gets the takedown and mounts Walker; Walker reverses into Souza’s guard. Souza immediately attempts an armbar, but gives it up just as quickly, instead focusing on trying to slip Walker’s arm through for a triangle. He succeeds, and locks in the triangle. Inexplicably, he can’t get the tap, and Walker isn’t going out – he toughs it out for several minutes, landing some light punches in the process. Walker eventually stands up and escapes; Souza stands, and looks gassed. Walker lands a nice head kick and some solid punches, avoiding the clinch as round one ends. Walker lands three hard leg kicks; Souza shoots and gives it up, pulling guard. Souza sits up as Walker stands, getting a double-leg into side mount; following the two being moves away from the ropes, Souza mounts. Walker lands some light rights to the body as Souza just keeps a tight mount. Souza sits up and lands some big right hands to the face and body; Walker rolls Souza, who locks on a tight armbar – I don’t know how the hell he didn’t tap. Souza abandons the submission after a short while and Walker stands up. Souza’s exhaustion is evident as he takes some punches with his hands on his hips; Walker throws a kick and Souza shoots and clinches. The two jockey for position and Souza gets another takedown into mount, landing some hard rights to the body as Walker holds onto his head. Walker rolls into Souza’s guard; Souza looks to be attempting an arm-triangle choke as the round ends. Apparently, the judges were taking a piss break and flipped a coin to decide this one. Winner: Dyrel Walker ***** Danny Payne (Hit Squad) vs. Mike Littlefield (Boneyard) Payne swings wild with a left and right that miss; he charges in with his head down and clinches. Littlefield lands some knees to the body and throws some vicious uppercuts; he shucks off another takedown attempt and tees off on Payne with left and rights. Payne gets dropped and turtles; Littlefield pauses for half a second expecting a stoppage before setting his hooks in the blink of an eye. Littlefield just brutalizes Payne with punches, who taps and signals to a jaw injury just as the ref steps in to stop it. Winner: Mike Littlefield ***** Josh Spearman (Team Assassins) vs. Matt Martin (Dragon Lair) Spearman throws a leg kick and lunges with a left and right that miss as he clinches; Martin lands a couple of nice knees and attempts a standing guillotine briefly before getting a takedown into mount.

Spearman tries to tough it out, but taps as Martin decides to compliment the choke with a kimura and a wrist lock on the free arm. Winner: Matt Martin ***** Rich Mitchell (Ground Force) vs. Joe Gomes (Team Assassins) Gomes lands a right hand; Mitchell clinches and takes Gomes down with a lateral drop into mount, barely avoiding being mounted himself in the process. Mitchell lands some hard punches; Gomes turtles and covers up as Mitchell lands a couple more punches, forcing the stoppage. Winner: Rich Mitchell ***** Howard Longus (Team Jersey) vs. Mandela Kponou (Dragon Lair) Kponou lands some solid straight punches; he clinches and lands hard knees to the body.

Longus buries his head into Kponou’s stomach as Kponou drags them over to his corner before landing some big right hands. Longus is offering nothing other than covering up and burying his face; Kponou lands a couple more hard rights as Longus turns to his stomach. Kponou picks a couple of more hard rights before the fight is stopped. Winner: Mandela Kponou ***** WFL Lightweight Title The two exchange jabs; Clifford ducks his head and lands a big right hand. Gorman charges in to clinch, eating a couple more punches, but retaliating with some hard knees. Clifford bodylocks Gorman down, and following a brief struggle ends up in Gorman’s guard. Gorman attempts and omoplata and looks to have it sunk; Clifford is able to roll though, and establishes guard. Clifford attempts a triangle as Gorman maintains posture; Gorman stands and dives down with a big left hand that looked to just catch Clifford. Gorman invites Clifford to stand; they both miss a couple punches before Clifford connect with a straight right as Gorman jabs and clinches. They briefly jockey for position – Gorman lands some hard knees, but Clifford scores with a couple hard right uppercuts. Gorman lands a trio of knees and a left hook just before Clifford lands the sweetest flying armbar I’ve ever seen. Winner: Jim Clifford ***** WFL Super-Heavyweight Title Dexter immediately clinches to start the fight, landing knees and some hard right hands. Pendergarst attempts a single as he eats more right hands, but gets the takedown into mount. Dexter turtles and attempts a kneebar; he switches to toe hold. It looks tight, but Pendergarst is keeping his leg straight and grimacing in pain, toughing it out. Dexter lets go and tries to stand; Pendergarst smother the attempts and Dexter once again turtles. Dexter tries to stand; Pendergarst defends and lands a couple of right hands. Dexter stands and grabs a leg and gets the takedown; he passes guard but Pendergarst quickly gets up, now standing to the side again on the turtles Dexter.
