NAAFS "War on the Shore 3"

Geneva-on-the-Lake, Ohio

The Cove

On saturday, July 25, 2009, Reggie Parks, Ryan Lose, and George Comer saw action at the NAAFS' third installment of "War on the Shore." What follows is a recap of each fight.

"Bonesaw" George Comer improved to 3-0 with a unanimous decision win over Andy Crabill (3-1) from Hess MMA. George took advantage of his wrestling base to secure takedowns in each round. His ever improving jiu-jitsu skills were also on display as he avoided triangle choke attempts in each round and not only stuffed the submission, but incorporated a guard pass each time. Vicious knees from side control and effective strikes coupled with outstanding ground control sums up the majority of this fight.

Ryan "The Loose Canon" Lose (4-1) bounced back from a previous loss with a dominate performance over Cory Ruthsatz (2-2) from Hess MMA. Ryan wanted to stand and stand badly in this fight. On numerous occassions he "shamed" his opponent up from guard. Landing nice jabs and combinations Ryan dominated the striking. He nearly had a referee stoppage at the end of round two as he unloaded a barrage from the mount position. Round three was again all Ryan, but with 10 seconds left Ryan gained legendary status to ride out a deep arm bar as the round ended. Saying later "A broken arm will heal, but a loss stays with you forever" Ryan showed exactly what he all about. He earned a 30-27 unanimous decision from the judges.

Reggie Parks was pitted against Graham Governor in the co-main event of the evening. Round one was extremely tight with Reggie getting the better of the striking and landing a takedowns. He fought off multiple guillotine choke attempts in a very, very close round one. Round 2 was tight until Reggie slipped on a sweat spot allowing Governor to gain the back mount position. Again Reggie defended the submission and reversed positions. Round three appeared to be in Reggies favor as he had Governor up against the cage landing heavy strikes in another action packed third round. The television announcers were left commentating it's anyone's fight. The judges scored the bout 29-28 Governor, 28-28 draw and an odd 30-27 Governor, giving Reggie his second loss. Afterwards, Reggie was in good spirits and commented "If I don't finish someone, I don't deserve the win." Reggie will be back...in three weeks as he's staying as busy as possible.

As a side note, Jessica Zomcik of Team DNA looked dominate as she dispatched of Janel Kraft in 26 seconds. Jessica cross trains with Team GriffonRawl's Muay Thai program. Her debut victory was one of the most impressive debuts (man or woman) in NAAFS history, complemented by the fact she has only been training since December of 2008.
