Akron, Ohio
John S. Knight Center
Reggie Parks, Landon Khakdoust and Donny Walker were in action on Saturday, August 15, 2009. Reggie and Landon were in MMA amateur action, while Donny was fighting at the professional level.
Landon Khakdoust (170lbs) wasted no time in showing why a drop from 185lbs to 170lbs was a good idea. Having taken nearly nine months off, Landon looked in mid-season form as he quickly disposed of John Keffer via TKO at a mere 1:07 of the very first round!
Reggie Parks (170lbs) was called out by Chris Melillo after Reggie defeated Chris earlier this year. Similiar to the result in April, Reggie controlled much of the action, executing heavy strikes and landing takedowns in each round. As was the result in April, Reggie scored a unanimous decision from the judges.
Donny 'Eagle Eye' Walker was in professional action against BJ Ferguson at 145lbs. Although a highly touted Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu purple belt, BJ came out throwing bombs. It was clear his plan was to brawl the technical Walker. As history has shown, Donny has a granite chin and has no problem getting hit as he keeps moving forward. The action was tight throughout the fight with Donny seemingly having the upper hand. As round three approached half way, Donny found himself in a scramble throwing submission attempts at the game Ferguson, until an arm bar found it's mark, forcing Ferguson to tap out at 2:04 of the third round.
Congratulations to all as the team was able to secure a 3-0 mark on the evening!
