On Saturday September 5, 2001 Gino Yourey secured his second MMA victory.  The bout took place at the Kingston Armory in Wilks Barra.  Cage Time 4 matched Gino against John Carpenter who was making his MMA debut.  Gino dominated the contest from start to finish.  The bout was close to being stopped due to a third round onslaught of strikes delivered by Gino, who left his opponent up after securing a double leg take down earlier in the round.  Congrates to Gino and his teammates-Ben,Goat,Ranger,Blake,Project, and all the others who helped prepare Gino for the event. 

Don Kock secured his fifth victory by locking in a front choke just seconds into the second round.  After a first round of both fighter feeling each other out Don came out swinging for the start of the second round.  His opponent agreed with the tactic and both stood toe to toe exchanging blows.  With both fighter landing some good shots Don snapped his opponents head down and secured the choke rendering him unconscience.  Congratulations to Don!

This past Friday night Jim Bova steam rolled over his opponent to secure this fourth professional MMA win and twelfth overall. Seconds after the round one bell sounded Jim Bova slipped Tony Williams jab and secured an upper body clinch. Jim was well aware of his opponent's dangerous standup skills and wasted no time in pinning Tony up against the cage. Shortly after, Jim took Tony Williams to the mat and secured top side control. Jim then worked to knee on the belly and started his onslaught of punches. Tony eventually turned to avoid Jim's strikes which allowed Jim to establish rear mount. Continuing with his delivery of heavy blows Bova kept pressuring. Toney Williams displayed a fighter's spirit and refused to submit to Bova's relentless attack.

Paulo punches to TKO victory!

Pat Paulo moved his overall record to 4-1-1 on Friday night at the Hamburg Field House. Pat secured the victory via TKO in the third round. Pat made a conscience effort to keep the fight standing, wanting to test his developing striking skills. As the fight progressed Pat did just that. Although his opponent, Chris Terran, was very skilled and powerful Pat appeared to take Chris out of his game with crisp and accurate punches. Pat finished the fight with a quick break off the clinch and continued to land punches which backed Chris up onto the cage. Congratulations to Pat.
