Local MMA action
Halloween Havoc Presented by Full Contact Fight League brought together another great card Saturday October 30th in Port Huron at the Mc Morran Arena where we saw a night filled with great fights and with slick submissions and awesome KO's.
In the Featherweight (135lb) Title Match Colin "The Submission Magician" Meloche from Madys Karate in Windsor fought a very well decorated wrestler Clint Kingsbury of Adrenaline Training Centre in London . The fight went to ground rather quick with Meloche securing a triangle choke that with a little bit of positioning was able to lock it in tight and got the submission at 1:20 in the first round.
Also fighting from Mady's Karate was Theo "The Poetic Hitman" Toney vs Jason Pomeroy (Team Pummel - Flint MI)
The fight starts off fast with both fighters throwing a lot of punches and kicks. Toney controls Pomeroy against the cage and Toney lands a couple of uppercuts which stops Pomeroy at 1:07 in the first round by KO.
Also in more MMA action.
