Extreme Combat Challenge "Halloween Havoc 2"

New Castle, Indiana

Team GriffonRawl warriors A.J. Pulling and Dominic Qurazzo both made successful MMA debuts in devasting fashion. Niether one of their first opponents made it out of the first round. A.J. ended up being placed in a four man tournament while Dominic would have been happy to do the same but they only had one opponent for him on this night. The trip was a pleasure as everyone got along great and made the five hour drive seem like like two. Below you will find some details on both of our guys fights.A.J. - His first match was under 30 seconds long. A.J's match ended with A.J. sprawling on his opponent then delivering a nice knee to the head and quickly spinning taking his opponents back getting his hooks in and raining down bombs to get the ref stoppage. Not only did A.J. fight once but he entered the cage again for a second time on this night in an attempt to capture a 4 man tourney. A.J. ended up getting caught in a chicken wing from the side mount and was forced to tap out. I think A.J. would crush this guy in a rematch as he is way better all around and just got caught. Dominic - Dominic's fight also ended in round 1 as his opponent came out throwing some leather in which Dominic countered by showing off his takedown skills by quickly getting the take down. Dominic showed great body head combos from within the guard and was then able to pass and get side mount on his opponent. Dominic unleashed some nasty ground and pound and right at the end of the round Dominic opened up with a nasty flurry of punches that were badly hurting his opponent and was very close to getting ref stoppage but the bell sounded. His opponent stood up and almost fell right back down he was so rocked. As you would guess the guy didn't want anymore punishment and was unable to answer the bell for round 2. Great job guys win or lose stepping in that cage/ring takes a lot of courage which most people never have. Written by:Jason Dent
