A little late on this post, but I got a handful of photos from Saturday’s Get Down Fights. We had Henry Campanur fighting in his second amateur fight on late notice against the 125 lbs champ in the main event. It was a tough fight and Henry lost by decision, but he he fought well for a late notice fight and learned a lot. And the next day we have a grappling tournament to coach at!

A couple of little bonus shots from Friday night’s Knockout Promotions fights.

As far as the first picture goes… NEVER RECORD FIGHTS IN PORTRAIT MODE! Just don’t… ;P

Second and third pictures are just a reminder that fighting is VERY real; and while it may look glamorous in the cage, it’s not so pretty all the time back in the locker rooms.

Back to Gabriel Green. He brought his record to 4-0 and took home the Knockout Promotions welterweight championship after winning by a first-round rear naked choke (which also happened to be his first submission after a decision win and two TKO wins).

Saturday, August 22, 2015. Another night of fights by Knockout Promotions and back on the winning track. We were supposed to have 4 guys fighting, but ended up with 3 due to illness. Long Tran and Henry Campanur were both making their amateur debuts, while Gabriel Green was trying to increase his record to 4-0 and fighting for the promotion’s Welterweight title.

I’ve been super busy so this post is really late, but I wanted to get it in before I corner tonight xD

So my birthday was on Friday the 14th. I decided to get one last roll in on Thursday night at the advanced open mat at 10th Planet Costa Mesa. This led to some good and bad news xP…

The good news: I was there to witness Andy Balmore’s brown belt promotion from Ron Turner and Casey Halstead after 12 years of training and fighting.
