XFO 41: Outdoor War 7 took place at Sideouts Bar and Grill in Island Lake, Illinois. The day of action saw twenty seven mixed martial arts fights. The amateurs kicked the day off just after 2pm and the pros took to the cage around 8pm after a rain delay.

The professional card saw many fan favorites including Eric Schafer, Chris Albandia, Will Brooks, Christian Reynoso, Greg Reddington, Kent Rexford and Joey Diehl.

A full recap of the professional fights as well as the quick results from the event can be found here.

The first professional fight of the night was quick as Chris Haney needed just ten seconds to knock Dexter Wright out cold. Haney came out with a big leg kick, reset and then threw a high kick that sent Wright to the canvas unconscious.

Team Curran’s Mike Marrello made his return to action against Brad Scholten. Marrello opened with a big leg kick, and Scholten tried to counter. Scholten then threw a leg kick of his own, but Marrello caught it and threw a straight right. He followed it up with a high kick that rocked Scholten. Marrello quickly swarmed and nearly finished, but Scholten started to regain his composure. Marrello passed to mount and landed punch after punch and elbow after elbow. Scholten tried to use the cage to escape but ultimate gave up his back. Once Marrello had his back, he sunk in a fight ending rear naked choke.

Up next was fan favorite Kent Rexford taking on Quartus Stitt. Stitt came out with a leg kick and rushing jabs that forced Rexford against the cage. Both fighters exchanged knees before Rexford landed a clean uppercut. Stitt landed a low knee and time was called for him to recover. After the restart the fighters quickly clinched again and dirty boxed. Rexford decided to put the fight on the ground and had a beautiful trip takedown landing in mount. Stitt was able to quickly pull guard, but he spent nearly the rest of the round on his back eating punches and elbows. At one point Stitt escaped and got back to his feet, but was quickly taken down again. At the start of the second round Rexford landed a big uppercut on Stitt as he was rushing forward. Rexford followed with a swarm of punches and Stitt appeared to defend well. Rexford continued his assault and Stitt gave up his back, only to eat more punches forcing the ref to stop the fight.

Flyweights Joey Diehl and Josh Epps went to war. Diehl tried to keep his distance with leg kicks and a push kick. Epps landed a straight jab and as Diehl was backing up, he slipped on the canvas. Epps landed a massive knee that was heard through out the arena. Diehl quickly recovered and took the fight to the ground. Diehl worked for a heel hook, but couldn’t get it. He then transitioned to an arm triangle and it looked tight. Epps kept his composure and worked to escape, forcing Diehl to let go of the choke. Diehl from the mount threw a big elbow and then again looked to finish with the arm triangle choke. This time he was able to get the right pressure as Epps tapped out just as he was about to go to sleep.

Will Brooks kept his undefeated streak going by submitting Joe Richardson. Brooks opened the fight with a high kick that just barely missed the mark. Both fighters looked to box and it was Brooks who was getting the better of the exchanges. Brooks then dropped down and scored a big takedown on Richardson landing in side control. Richardson didn’t panic and he was able to escape and stand back up. Brooks again looked for the high kick and just missed and Richardson tried for one of his own. Brooks immediately took the fight to the ground again and worked elbows from half guard. While trying to pass to mount, Richardson gave up his back and Brooks controlled from there. Richardson tried to stand up and Brooks looked to suplex him, but Richardson quickly dropped back down to the canvas. Brooks transitioned to an armbar from the back and fought for it. Richardson defended it for a bit, but once the arm was fully extended he had no choice but to tap.

Greg Reddington and Christian Reynoso put on an action packed three-round fight. Reddington was making his professional debut and didn’t look nervous at all. Reddington in the first round took the fight down after a body kick by Reynoso. Reddington was patient in looking for his openings for attacking and capitalized when they were there. Not finding much to work with, Reddington stood up and let Reynoso stand too. With both fighters clinched against the cage, Reynoso jumped for a guillotine, but Reddington was able to escape. The second and third round were much of the same as both fighters looked to start the fight out strong. Both times it was Reddington who landed the better combo and then took the fight to the ground. Reddington controlled the action on the ground and ultimately won the unanimous decision.

The co-main event featured Casey Dyer taking on Dan Aguirre. Both fighters looked to just go out and let it all out. Both fighters were exchanging kick after kick and punch after punch. There was hardly any time where either fighter was not throwing a strike. The fighters worked from the clinch and threw multiple knees. Dyer decided to change the game up with a takedown and scored it rather easily. Unfortunately he left his neck open and Aguirre grabbed a hold of it with a guillotine choke and squeezed until Dyer tapped.

Eric Schafer and Chris Albandia headlined the night of action. The fight marked the first fight for both fighters in fifteen months and the first fight for Schafer at middleweight. Albandia took the center of the cage and looked to keep Schafer on the outside with leg kicks. Schafer landed a right hand that seemed to hurt Albandia and followed it up with another combo that definitely rocked his opponent. Albandia then shot for a takedown and Schafer grabbed a guillotine. Albandia escaped and was patient working body punches. Schafer grabbed Albandia’s arm and then threw it outside of his leg to set up the triangle choke. After a quick adjustment, the choke was in tight and Albandia was forced to tap.

Mayhem Promotions Disorderly Conduct 4 Poster

At the post fight party for “Disorderly Conduct 4″ Mayhem Promotions along with Bodylock Sports Wear handed out awards for “Fight of the Night” and “Knockout of the Night”.  Greg Reddington, Mike Letteri, and Percy Hicks all earned the awards.

Mike Letteri earned his second “Fight of the Night” award in a row with his fight against Greg Reddington.  Reddington controlled the action in the first round with multiple takedowns.  Letteri responded in the second round by keeping the fight standing and out-striking Reddington.  The third round saw a good ground battle with Reddington getting the better of Letteri earning the victory.

While there were three technical knockouts, Percy Hicks had the only knock out of the night.  Hicks need only six seconds to finish his fight.  After being denied a touch of gloves by his opponent, Hicks unloaded a big right hand.  Bordonado’s corner thought Hicks cheated, but the official rules state to protect yourself at all times which Bordonado failed to do.

Editors Update: The above report about a lack of touch of gloves is innacurate.  From our original angle, that is what it looked like.  However upon re-watching the fight, Bordonado did attempt to touch gloves and Hicks used the opportunity to attack.  While his strikes were legal, many would argue that they were unsportsman like.

Mayhem Promotions “Disorderly Conduct 4″ proved to be another exciting night of fights in the Chicagoland area.  The co-main event and main event didn’t fail to deliver and had the crowd on their feet through out most of the fights.  At the end of the night the fans all left more than satisfied.

Josh Dawson vs Laquinn Swift
This fight was brought to us by Bodylock Sports Wear.

Round 1 – Dawson opened the round with a leg kick and then tried to follow it up with a high kick.  Swift countered by charging in and going for a takedown.  Dawson grabbed ahold of Swift’s neck as he was being taken down.  Swift in Dawson’s guard worked some shots and tried to pass but was unable to.  Dawson, working a high guard, sneaked a leg past Swift’s arm and was able to get a triangle choke.  Swift rolled and Dawson held on to a top mount triangle choke.  Swift bucked out of the position and was able to escape and took top position.  Dawson attempted numerous submissions, but Swift kept posturing up and escaping.  The end of the round saw Dawson trying to throw some punches from the bottom, but they had little effect.  MMA Recap scored it 10-9 for Laquinn Swift

Round 2 – At the start of the round we were able to see that Dawson was bloodied up.  Like the first round, Dawson tried some kicks before Swift shot in and got a double leg takedown.  Dawson was holding Swift down better than last time, but both fighters were very active trying to secure a better position.  Swift eventually passes Dawson’s guard and then secured the full mount.  Dawson quickly gave up his back and Swift tried to get the rear naked choke.  Unable to do so, he started throwing punches to the side of Dawson’s head.  Several punches landed clearly and the ref finally warns Dawson to get out.  Ten seconds later, the referee ended the fight.  Laquinn Swift wins by TKO.

Official Decision – Laquinn Swift wins by TKO (referee stoppage) at 2:23 of the 2^nd round.

Mark Mack vs Ryan Robison

Round 1 – Both fighters touched gloves and Mack looked hesitant to do anything.  Robison had a great punch to Mack’s body and Mack responded with a one-two combo that connected.  Robison seemed unfazed by the punches, and went for a high kick.  Mack then unloaded a barrage of punches followed by a body kick and finished off with another four punches.  Robison defended this attack well and pressed forward.  Robison was having trouble finding his distance, as Mack was just ducking and dodging Robison’s punches.  Mack landed three more solid shots, and Robison is still unaffected.  Ryan faked a punch and then shot in for a takedown, got it, and was in side control.  Mack did his best to neutralize Robison’s punches, but Robison was able to land some punches.  After some great wrist control by Mack, Robison elected to throw some massive knees to the body of Mack as the round ended.  MMA Recap scored it 10-9 for Ryan Robison.

Round 2 – Robison decided that he needed to open the round with some good strikes and lands a leg kick, followed by a big right hand that forced Mack to try and clinch up.  While in the clinch, Robison landed some big uppercuts and Mack decided to let go of the clinch to try and recover.  Robison faked an overhand right and tried for a single leg takedown.  Mack was able to defend it well and threw a couple of punches to help his defense.  Robison switched from a single leg to a double leg and got the takedown.  Robison landed some knees to the body before switching to the north-south position.  Unable to secure a choke, Robison switched back to side control and threw more knees to Mack’s body.  The crowd at this point really got into the fight and started chanting for more knees.  Robison ignores the crowd and tried to get the mount, but Mack was able to pull half guard.  Robison landed two big punches to Mack’s body as time ran out in the round.  MMA Recap scored it 10-9 for Ryan Robison.

Round 3 – Robison used a big overhand right to set up a takedown but couldn’t get it.  The fighters separated and Robison landed a loud body kick.  Mack started to back peddle and Robison shot in for a takedown.  Robison was in side control and heard the crowd as he landed at least six knees to Mack’s body.  Mack postures a bit from the bottom and is able to trap Robison’s left arm with his legs but can’t do much with it.  Robison threw two punches to free his trapped arm and Mack rolled to escape but ended up giving up his back.  Robison tried to get the rear naked choke, but time ran out.  MMA Recap scored it 10-9 for Ryan Robison.

Alfred Eddy Arnold vs Buddy McGinnis

Round 1 – Both fighters exchanged jabs before Arnold takes the fight to the ground.  McGinnis defended well, but Arnold pushed McGinnis up against the cage.  McGinnis attempts a triangle, but Arnold postures up and lands two big punches.  McGinnis took advantage of his opponent’s position and grabbed Arnolds left leg and used that to get a slam takedown.  McGinnis unloaded some knees to Arnold’s body.  As Arnold defended the knees, McGinnis passed from side control into full mount.  McGinnis punched Arnold about eight times before Arnold gave up his back.  The end of the round saw McGinnis trying to secure a choke, but he couldn’t as time expired.  MMA Recap scores it 10-9 for McGinnis.

Round 2 – Both fighters clinch right away and McGinnis got a great Greco Roman wrestling takedown giving him Arnold’s back.  The entire three minutes saw McGinnis attempting to secure a choke, and many times it looked like he got it.  However Arnold showed his toughness and was able to pry the arm out from under his chin numerous times.  Arnold landed several backwards hammer fists to McGinnis’s face, but McGinnis persisted with attempting the choke.  The end of the round Arnold nearly escaped by turning into McGinnis, but time expired before he could change his position.  MMA Recap scores it 10-9 for McGinnis

Round 3 – Arnold came out swinging, as he knew he was down two rounds.  His first overhand right missed and McGinnis shot in for the takedown.  While the takedown was successful, Arnold was able to grab onto McGinnis’s neck.  Even though McGinnis was in side control, the choke looked to be tight.  McGinnis punched Arnold’s body hard to get out of the choke and was successful.  Neither fighter doing much as they are visibly tired at this point and the ref warned them to do something or he will stand them up.  Both fighters weakly attempted to improve their position before the ref stood them up.  Once on the feet, Arnold again threw some big punches, this time a massive overhand right finds its mark and drops McGinnis.  Arnold follows up by attempting a shoulder lock submission, which doesn’t work and ended up on the bottom with McGinnis in side control.  Arnold scrambled and worked his way up and got a takedown with thirty seconds left in the fight.  Arnold threw a punch and left his arm out just long enough for McGinnis to secure a triangle choke.  Arnold was in danger and started to try and punch his way out of submission as the bell rang.  MMA Recap scored the round 10-9 for McGinnis.

Official Decision – Buddy McGinnis defeats Eddy Arnold by unanimous decision 30-27, 20-27, 29-28.

Anthony Whalen vs Jeff Lavallee
This fight brought to us by Good and Evil clothing.

Round 1 – Lavallee came out quick with some jabs and then took the fight down down to the ground.  Whalen quickly tied Lavallee up and was neutralizing any attack by Lavallee.  Lavallee isn’t able to free his hands, so he moved the fight up against the cage.  Once against the cage, Whalen let go of one of Lavallee’s hands and Lavallee landed a big straight job, followed with two accidental hits to the back of the head.  However the ref didn’t see the accidental blows.  Lavallee stands up and lands another big shot before Whalen just stood up.  Lavallee quickly clinched and landed multiple knees and punches before taking Whalen down again.  Lavallee landed big punches from within Whalen’s guard.  Lavallee again stood up and as Whalen was getting up, Lavallee grabbed ahold of him and threw him to the other side of the cage.  Lavallee followed and clinched Whalen to get a take down in full mount.  Lavallee caused some major damage while Whalen tried to buck out, but he was unable to.  Whalen tried to buck a second time, but Lavallee was ready for it and rocked Whalen.  Three punches later, the ref stopped the action due to strikes.

Official Decision – Jeff Lavallee wins via technical knock out at the 2:38 in round 1

Sonny Bordonado vs Percy Hicks

Round 1 – If you blinked from the opening bell you could have missed what happened.  In fact, many of the fans in attendance did miss what happened.  The bell rang and Hicks quickly rushed to the center of the cage with an arm extended to touch gloves.  Bordonado declined to touch gloves and Hicks responded with a big right hand that knocked Bordonado out and the ref was forced to stop the action.  Bordonado’s corner wanted clarification on the rules stating their fighter wasn’t ready and the ref stated that they were informed to “protect yourself at all times” after the bell rings.   Hicks tried to talk to Bordonado, but Bordonado’s corner called him a cheater.  The fans booed, but it was mainly due to them not realizing the fight started either.  After the fight, Hicks was visibly upset by the accusations by Bordonado’s corner and said it was Bordonado’s choice to not touch gloves.

Official Decision – Percy Hicks wins via knock out at :06 in round 1

Editors Update: The above report about a lack of touch of gloves is innacurate.  From our original angle, that is what it looked like.  However upon re-watching the fight, Bordonado did attempt to touch gloves and Hicks used the opportunity to attack.  While his strikes were legal, many would argue that they were unsportsman like.

Mayhem Promotions Disorderly Conduct 4 Poster

Mayhem Promotions earlier this week finalized the fight card for “Disorderly Conduct 4″.  DC4 takes places on Saturday September 19 at the Dupage Expo center in St. Charles, Illinois.  Newly crowned lightweight champion Jordin Hinman (7-2) will defend his belt against Anthony Goodwin (12-1).  Also on the card is a bantamweight matchup between Greg Reddington (4-1) and Mike Letteri (1-0).

Hinman defeated Javier Vega at “Disorderly Conduct 3″ to win the lightweight championship.  When asked about his thoughts on his fight, the Team Conflict fighter stated, “Fighting for Mayhem feels like home.  They take care of me, and I just want to go out there and put on a good show.  I want to defend my title as much as possible and prove that I am the best.  I know that as a competitor that no one is better than me and I prove it inside the cage.”

Goodwin who has been training in mixed martial arts twice as long as Hinman said, “Every fight I go into I could possibly lose.  I look at each fight as if I am 0-0 and don’t want to be on the losing end.  Each fight I train for as if it will be a war.”

At “Disorderly Conduct 3″ Mike Letteri made his amateur debut and was the victor in the fight of the night.  Now he faces Reddington in what has the potential to decide who will be the number one contender for the Mayhem Promotion bantamweight belt.  Letteri thoughts on the fight, “The guys who run Mayhem make it very comfortable to go out and fight for them.  Greg fought a great fight and I can’t wait to take a shot at him.  Right now I am training for Greg and I am not looking past him.”

Reddington responded with “Letteri is a really good fighter.  He’s going to be a big challenge for me.  He’s very strong and talented.  I am hopeful that win over him will give me a shot at Welch (bantamweight champion).  I just want to be the best.  I’ve been putting in a lot of time and effort and I just want to prove that I am.”

“Disorderly Conduct 4″ tickets are available now at www.mayhempromotions.com.  The evening is scheduled to showcase twenty amateur fighters in ten fights.  The full card includes:
