The second installment of Chicago Cagefighting Championship took place on Saturday October 16 at The Odeum in Villa Park, Illinois.  The night saw four amateur bouts and seven professional bouts.  Read on for the full results and recap.

The first amateur bout kicked off the night of action with heavy handed heavyweights.  James Gleissner had the superior wrestling, while Ricky Johnson was the stronger and more dangerous striker.  The opening round Johnson tagged Gleissner and dropped him, but to Gleissner’s credit he had a powerful shot as he stood back up.  After he got on his feet, Gleissner shot in and secured the takedown.  From there he worked from full mount to Johnson’s back and secured a rear naked choke.  The choke looked deep, but Johnson pushed threw and was able to get out of the submission attempt.  With seconds left Johnson rocked Gleissner and opened him up.  The second round started and neither fighter wanted to do much.  Gleissner secured a takedown, but Johnson powered his way out of it and into full mount.  Johnson rained down heavy lefts and rights until the ref stopped the fight.

PJ Casillias from Top Notch took on Colton Martin in a welterweight matchup.  Casillias came out with a flying knee and worked several knees from a Muay Thai Clinch.  Martin would work free and land some good hooks, but Casillias kept going back to the clinch to work knees to Martin’s body.  At the end of the round Martin took Casillias down and secured mount, but Casillias bucked and reversed the position.  Martin caught Casillias with a two big right hooks that woke Casillias up and he unloaded several shots.  Martin, pushed up against the cage, took several shots before attempting a takedown.  Casillias sprawled and landed in side control.  From there he trapped an arm, and unloaded peppering shots till Martin turned and gave Casillias the opening he needed to throw heavy rights.  The ref had no choice but to halt the action.

Nate Patrick was a far superior wrestler to Kris Blainey and that’s what made all the difference in the fight.  Patrick took the fight to the ground and the first round was mostly Patrick holding Blainey down.  The second round Patrick again scored a takedown, but this time worked several punches to the side of Blainey’s head until the fight was ended.

Nic Thompson and Matt Hong ended the amateur fights with a crowd pleasing heavyweight fight.  Both Thompson and Hong were finding their range and at times rocked the other where a good follow up would have ended it.  But they both had granite chins and were able to withstand the damage.  As Hong had Thompson in trouble, Thompson landed a punch flush on Hong’s head that crumbled his knees.  Thompson moved in, secured mount and and threw big punches until the ref stopped it.

The professional bouts were kicked off with a lightweight fight featuring Adam Ward and Bryan Fielder.  The three round battle saw action every where.  In the first both fighters exchanged big punches.  Ward rocked Fielder and Fielder shot for a takedown.  Ward defended it well and got Fielder’s back.  The round ended with Ward working for a rear naked choke which was how he spent most of the round.  The second round the fighters again exchanged punches before Fielder attempted another takedown.  Ward again worked a rear naked choke, but couldn’t secure it.  Fielder stood up and both fighters threw kicks that just missed.  Fielder again shot for a takedown, but Ward defended and ended up on top of Fielder.  Ward worked elbows before going to the rear naked and he nearly finished it, but let go in exchange for throwing some punches to bloody up Fielder.  The third round Fielder changed game plans and clinched Ward against the cage.  But Ward was able to open a cut above Fielder’s eye and then took Fielder down.  Little action and the ref separated the fighters.  Fielder took Ward down, but Ward threw his legs up and Fielder was in trouble as he was within a triangle choke.  Ward couldn’t secure the choke all the way so opted for throwing elbows and punches from the bottom.  The ref halted action to check on Fielder’s eye, and then restarted in the same position.  Ward continued his elbows and punches from the bottom to secure the third round and the judges’ decision.

Wanting to ensure their fight didn’t go the distance, Dennis Dombrow and Ray Grindstaff came out swinging.  Grindstaff worked for a takedown and got it.  Grindstaff worked small shots from Dombrow’s guard, but Dombrow countered with a heel hook.  Grindstaff retaliated with heel kicks but Dombrow used the opportunity to escape the bad position and put Grindstaff on his back.  Dombrow worked diligently to get the position he wanted which was Grindstaff’s back.  From there Dombrow threw punches in bunches, but used a slick transition to secure a triangle choke.  With the choke secured, Dombrow torqued Grindstaff’s arm forcing the tapout.

LVRG owner German Reyes returned to action against Frank Pizzirulli.  The three round affair saw Reyes successfully take Pizzirulli down each round and transitioned to mount.  Reyes was unable to do too much damage as Pizzirulli was doing a fantastic job of controlling Reyes’s head and wrists.  In the third round Pizzirulli was able to reverse and land in Reyes’s guard.  Reyes worked hard for a sub and with fifteen seconds left he locked in a triangle choke.  The bell rang and Pizzirulli tapped out after, but the judges made their decision and it was Reyes all the way.

The last fight before an intermission saw Ryan Williams take on Ryan Bixler.  The three round fight was very competitive.  In the first round Williams controlled the action by forcing Bixler against the cage.  But Bixler would escape and land a punch only to receive a big leg kick by Williams.  A big welt appeared on Bixler’s leg as the round ended.  The second round Williams again pushed Bixler against the cage.  Williams worked for a single leg takedown, but was in danger as Bixler grabbed a hold of Williams’ neck.  Williams switched from a single to a double leg and got the big takedown and stayed there for the rest of the round.  The third round Bixler tried to find his range, but Williams stayed just out of it.  Williams worked for a takedown, secured it.  With ten seconds left, both fighters threw elbows without a care and the time ran out for Bixler as the judges’ cards all read for Williams.

After an intermission light heavyweights were in action.  Jason Guida and Nick Rossborough went all three rounds.  Rossborough who had the superior reach advantage used it through out the three round fight.  Guida had no answer for Rossborough’s straight left that kept the shorter Guida at bay.  Guida would try to use the clinch to his advantage, but Rossborough would keep Guida pushed up against the cage and worked several body shots to Guida’s body.  In the second round Guida attempted a single leg, but wasn’t able to get it.  As the third round was ending, Guida nearly had Rossborough’s back while standing, but couldn’t secure it.  In the end, Rossborough’s reach proved too much and the judges’ gave the fight to him.

In the night’s co-main event, Mike Lullo took on Tyler Combs in lightweight action.  The fight of the night by far as this saw the most action.  The first round Lullo and Combs started off trading shots.  Combs attempted a takedown, but Lullo pushed Combs against the cage and took him down.  Lullo worked multiple punches and elbows but Combs countered with a good rubber guard.  Lullo stood up and worked multiple kicks to Combs’s legs.  Combs tried to protest a low shot and Lullo rushed in and rocked Combs as the round ended.  The second round Lullo took the fight to the ground and quickly passed to side control.  From the dominant position he worked several knees to Combs’s shoulder and body.  Combs escaped and stood up and threw several haymakers but couldn’t find the target.  The third round Lullo landed a big knee that dropped Combs.  Lullo quickly tied up Combs and secured his back.  Lullo was working for a triangle choke and an armbar and after a couple of adjustments was able to force Combs to tap.

The main event saw Chase Beebe taking on Jared McMahan.  Beebe quickly found his range with his left jab and right hook.  Beebe stalked McMahan around the cage and McMahan had no answer.  McMahan threw a low kick that landed in Beebe’s groin and after the restart Beebe was a man on a mission.  Beebe caught McMahan with a right that dropped McMahan and quickly secured a fight ending guillotine choke that forced McMahan to tap.

Chicago Cage Fighting Championship 2 is set to take place at The Odeum in Villa Park, Illinois on Saturday October 16.  The first fight has been made official and it features former UFC fighter Rob Emerson taking on Bellator veteran Ryan Williams at a catch weight of 165lbs.

Emerson last competed in March at “Ultimate Fight Night 21″ where he lost a decision to Nik Lentz and was subsequently cut from the UFC.  Emerson was a contestant on season five of “The Ultimate Fighter” and went 3-3 in the UFC with one no contest.  After losing three of his last four fights, the twenty-nine year old was released.

Williams returned to the winning side of the coin at the first Chicago Cage Fighting Championship back in June.  He took on Jay Ellis who has fifty fights to his name.  Williams who trains out of Midwest Training Center, made a name for himself on the local scene with numerous wins in the XFO.  Williams has additionally fought for Bellator and the now defunct Adrenaline MMA.

Tickets for the event will be on sale by the end of August.  The Odeum holds over 2,000 fans including standing room tickets.

Chicago Cage Fighting Championship held their first event at The Odeum in Villa Park, Illinois.  The night was headlined by Mike Lullo taking on Jeremy Castro and saw a total of five professional fights and six amateur bouts.  Read on for the full results and recap.

The first amateur bout of the night got the crowd on their feet as Chris Miller made quick work of Dylan Thomas.  After a leg kick by Thomas, Miller clinched and had a failed takedown attempt with Thomas landing in his guard.  But Miller threw up his legs and was able to lock in a fight ending triangle choke just 36 seconds into the fight.

Two local fighters Darcy Laminy out of MTC and Stefan Ivanov out of Hackney’s were up.  The lightweight bout started with Laminy catching Ivanov with a right hand that hurt him.  Ivanov tried to clinch, but Laminy dropped down and grabbed a double leg takedown.  After a big slam, Laminy worked to trap one of Ivanov’s arms under neath him.  But Ivanov worked through the bad position and eventually stood up.  Both fighters threw caution to the wind and stood in front of each other throwing big hooks.  Laminy shot for a takedown, but this time Ivanov was ready as he sprawled, then spun to get Laminy’s back.  From there he grabbed a rear naked choke forcing Laminy to tap.

Submission were on a hot streak as Dustin Pierson was able to defeat Chris Haney by rear naked choke in the second.  But the fight wasn’t going in Pierson’s way at all until then.  The first round Haney used superior wrestling to keep Pierson on his back.  Haney attempted multiple submissions, but Pierson continued to escape.  The second round Haney jumped on Pierson’s back and tried to secure a rear naked choke, but Pierson fell back slamming Haney into the matt.  Pierson quickly rolled to get Haney’s back and was able to get an arm deep under Haney’s chin and ended the fight.

Kamil Broda had the crowd behind him in his fight against Ray Grindstaff.  Both fighters clinched quickly and worked short knees and each attempted a takedown.  After a very quick takedown and pop right back up, the fighters separated and looked to exchange.  Broda landed a left hook that hurt Grindstaff.  Broda however rushed in too quickly and over estimated how hurt his opponent was as Grindstaff quickly grabbed Broda’s arm and forced a tapout due to arm bar.

A very interesting ending happened when Jeff Lavalle took on Shawn West in a featherweight contest.  The first round Lavalle used his strength to over power West landing multiple punches from within West’s guard.  The round saw Lavalle posture out of any submission West attempted and throw big left hands.  The second round Lavalle landed two leg kicks before taking the fight to the ground again.  West attempted a triangle choke but couldn’t get Lavalle’s head trapped as Lavalle popped out of it.  Lavalle stood up forcing West to stand as well.  Another overhand right by Lavalle and a takedown.  Lavalle with a single punch and West taps.

The last amateur fight of the night saw Dennis Dombrow take on James Smith.  And like the five previous fights, this one ended by submission.  Dombrow quickly took the fight to the ground and worked several shots.  Smith got hurt and gave up his back.  Dombrow quickly took the back and squeeze a rear naked choke until Smith tapped.

After an intermission we start the action on the professional side.  Carson Beebe made short work of Danny Black.  Beebe shot in for a takedown, picked Black up, carried him from one side of the cage to the other and slammed him down.  From there he moved from side control to mount and started raining down elbows.  Black defended well for a little while but Beebe was relentless with his punches and elbows.  Black was forced to give up his back and Beebe locked in a rear naked choke to end the fight.  Black’s face was clearly messed up as he needed help getting out of the cage.

The next pro fight saw Ryan Williams take on Jay Ellis.  In the first round Williams took the fight to the ground and worked several different strikes from within Ellis’s guard.  Ellis did a good job of controlling Williams’s wrist as not much damage was inflicted.  At the end of the round, Williams was able to Ellis’s back and was squeezing a rear naked choke as time ran out in the round.  The second round Ellis dropped Williams with a high kick, but Williams recovered quickly.  After both fighters stood back up, Ellis attempted a high kick again, this time slipping and Williams took advantage.  Williams started throwing powerful shots, but couldn’t finish the fight.  Like the first round, Williams was able to get the back of Ellis only this time he worked for an armbar as time ran out.  The third round Ellis came out with a high kick again, followed with a big left and spinning backlist.  Williams grabbed a single leg and brought the fight back down to the canvas.  Once there, Williams secured a kimura and force Ellis to tap.

Anthony Marti and Matt Horning were up next in a catchweight bout at 140lbs.  Marti let his hands fly at the beginning of the first round before rocking Horning.  Marti spent most of the rest of the round either on Horning’s back or working for mount.  From the dominant position, Marti attempted multiple submissions but couldn’t lock anything in.  With about thirty seconds left, both fighters stood up and Marti is gassed.  Horning starts dropping bombs but time runs out.  The second round Marti is still winded as Horning is just landing big punch after big punch.  Marti threw a big overhand right that missed and Horning landed a beautiful counter.  Marti shot for a takedown and Horning sprawled to defend.  Horning attempted to get Marti’s back but Marti defended and wound up in Horning’s guard.    Horning attempted to get up, but Marti transitioned to his back and locked in a rear naked choke.  Horning was tapping for several seconds before the ref stopped the fight.

The co-main event saw the return of Jared McMahan taking on Seth Marquez.  Both fighters were a little hesitant to commit to anything.  McMahan stalked down Marquez who circled away from McMahan for the first minute plus. Marquez attempted a superman punch, but McMahan defended it and rocked Marquez dropping him.  McMahan started to throw elbow after elbow and punch after punch until the ref was forced to stop the action.

The main event featured Mike Lullo taking on Jeremy Castro.  Both fighters exchange a series of leg kicks before Castro clinched and took Lullo down.  Lullo worked some sick rubber guard and Castro wasn’t able to do anything.  Lullo worked short elbows and punches from the rubber guard until he let it go.  Once out of the rubber guard, Castro stood up and let Lullo do the same.  Again Castro took the fight down, but this time Lullo worked an even better rubber guard and was able to get his leg under the throat of Castro.  Lullo kept pulling down on Castro’s head and force Castro to tap due to a gogoplata.

Chicago Cage Fighting Championship announced earlier today that three new bouts have been added to their June 26 show.  Ryan Williams will take on Jay Ellis in welterweight action, Toni Marti will meet Matt Horning at a catch-weight of 140lbs, and Carson Beebe will be taking on Danny Black in featherweight action.

Williams most recently competed at “Lords of War 1″ where he lost to Steve Kinnisen in the second round.  The loss marks four in a row for the now 10-7 professional fighter.

His opponent, Ellis, is in a similar situation.  After losing to Tyler Combs at “Ruckus 2″ in March, Ellis is riding a five-fight losing streak heading into the fight.  To Ellis’s credit, his last five losses have come at the hands of Tyler Combs, James Warfield, Pat Curran, Jon Murphy and Tommy Speer.  All tough competition.

Toni Marti last competed at “Ruckus 2″ where he lost to Dustin Neace.  The loss snapped a three-fight win streak for Marti who’s seven victories have all come by way of submission.

Horning boasts a professional record of 20-21.  Unfortunately his last five fights have not ended in victory for Horning.  This fight will put one of the two fighters back on the winning side of the equation.

Beebe, who is the brother of former WEC champion Chase Beebe, made his professional debut at “Ruckus 2″ where he was victorious over Nate Williams.  Beebe has a full schedule lined up as he is set to fight two times before stepping into the cage for Chicago Cage Fighting Championship.

Black also made his professional debut at “Ruckus 2″ where he lost to Vince Ramos.  Black has not had a fight since the March fight and looks to get his first win.

Houston Alexander completely annihilated Sherman Pendergarst in a one sided affair. In the early going Alexander landed leg kick after leg kick until, he buckled Pendergarst.  Alexander continued the assault with several knees and quickly finished Pendergarst with strikes on the ground at 1:51 of the first round.

Tim Sylvia looked to get back to his winning ways against the young up and comer Jason Riley.  Sylvia out-striked Riley from the start landing solid jabs and knees.  Riley showed his resilience in the beginning, but was floored with a huge left hook that sent him crashing to the canvas.  Sylvia followed Riley to the ground, and unloaded several punches, ending the fight at 2:52 of the first round via technical knock out.

Adrenaline MMA Logo

Adrenaline MMA will be hosting their fourth show on September 18th at the Mid American Center in Council Bluffs, Iowa.  Officials within the organization revealed the full thirteen-fight event card including a main event fights between former UFC heavyweight champion Tim Sylvia (24-6) and Jason Riley as well as Houston Alexander (8-4) and Sherman Pendergarst (11-14).

Sylvia is currently on a three-fight losing streak with losses to Fedor Emelianenko, Antonio Rodrigo Nogueira and most recently a nine second knock out loss to Ray Mercer.  Sylvia is confident that a successful run of victories will bring him back under the UFC banner.

Also on a three-fight losing streak is Houston Alexander who got permission to fight at the event.  Should he lose his fight against Pendergarst, Alexander will more than likely be cut from the UFC.  Alexander quickly became a fan favorite after his quick knock out victories over Alessio Sakara and Keither Jardine.
