Another Knockout Fight League amateur MMA show in the books.

This time we had 2 fighters on the card looking to get their first wins.

First up was Salvador Gonzalez. Sal lost a decision in his MMA debut but was better prepared for what to expect this time around. He spent all 3 rounds ground & pounding his opponent after early takedowns to win a unanimous decision. He even showed a little standup in the fight after he established the fear of the takedown!

Last night was the True Promotions inaugural amateur MMA event, True 1 at The Grand Theater in Anaheim, California. I was on commentary for the sold out show with John Arredondo from Gym Crashers as well as Alexandra Wendling.

We were supposed to have RJ Draper fighting on the card, but his opponent pulled out of the fight late and we couldn't find a replacement. I was going to be pulling a Paul Felder and hopping off of commentary to corner that fight, but since the fight was scrapped it was just commentary duty all night for me.

Yesterday was Valley Fight Series 6 in Reedley, California.

We had RJ Draper fighting in his 2nd amateur fight. It was a long night. RJ was fight #13 on the card and there were 4 grappling matches and 2 intermissions ahead of his fight as well. When it came fight time, RJ had a solid performance.

Back from another night of amateur fights with Knockout Fight League

We had 5 fighters on the card so it was a busy night. 3 debuts with RJ Draper, Matthew Lopez, Salvador Gonzalez. Tyler Nakashima in his 2nd fight and Josh Vogelsang fighting for the Middleweight title.

So we got the call at 4:30 AM Tuesday letting us know that Gabriel Green would be making his UFC debut Saturday.

Gabe hasn't fought in nearly 2 years due to injuries/surgeries and had 4 days notice for a fight in a weight class above his normal weight class at a time where everyone's training is diminished due to Covid-19.

He lots a decision, but he definitely raised his stock and gained fans with his performance (which in my opinion should have been fight of the night).

Just wait until you see him with a full fight camp!
