Gray 'The Bully' Maynard & Matt 'The Immortal' Brown "Seminars"

It has come to our attention, that two of 2010 biggest highlights for the academy failed to be published. On Sunday, April 18, 2010 Gray 'The Bully' Maynard held an MMA seminar at GriffonRawl and then on Friday, August 27, 2010, Matt 'The Immortal' Brown followed suit. Both men ran the seminars where a variety of techniques, drills, and positioning were covered. Both stayed after for a question/answer period and for pictures, while Matt even stayed to spar with some of the fighters. In each case, a big "THANK YOU" goes out to both men and GriffonRawl continues to wish them our best in their respective careers!

NAAFS "Night of Champions 2010"

Saturday, December 4, 2010 marked the yearly installment of NAAFS' "Night of Champions." GriffonRawl's 'Bonesaw' George Comer and Donny 'Eagle Eye' Walker each had an opportunity to make NAAFS history.
While George was the 2009 Lightweight Amateur Champion, he stepped UP a weight class to Welterweight in 2010 and found himself in the finals for another chance at gold. Not only would George become the first amateur to win two amateur titles, he did so in different weight classes, and the fact he went up a weight class makes his accomplishment all the more remarkable. He was facing a very tough and dangerous Josh Oppenheimer from Evolve MMA. Giving up a considerable height and reach disadvantage, George showcased both his stand-up skills by landing multiple push kicks and leg kicks. But it was his grappling that sealed the victory for George and was rewarded with a unanimous decision victory and the 2010 NAAFS National Amateur Welterweight title.
Donny had the opportunity to be the first pro-series NAAFS champion to successfully defend a belt. He was pitted against the hard hitting and intense Billy 'The Goat' Vaughn, who had been tear as of late. It was after a September victory that Vaughn said he wanted his shot at Walker. Donny weathered an early barrage of strikes from Vaughn, and a heel hook submission attempt. However, Donny reversed positions and let his elbows do the talking. Landing a series of vicious shots, Vaughn turned his back and Walker was quickly able to sink in a rear naked choke, ending the contest at 2:58 of the very first round. That victory marked Donny's 7th consecutive professional victory and will no doubt raise his stock as he looks forward to joining the ranks of the UFC!

NAAFS "Kickboxing"

On November 15, 2010, three GriffonRawl warriors were set for action in the yearly installment of the NAAFS' kickboxing show. Kevin Peterson got his first taste of action going up against veteran Tony Dipierio. Kevin looked amazing for his first fight but came up on the wrong side of the judges decision. Ryan 'The Loose Cannon' Lose dominated round one, even landing a flying knee to the delight of the crowd. Early in round two, however, John Rodriguez threw a right hook that found its mark and Lose was unable to continue. In the main event, Bryan McCroskey stepped in for Justin Steave and ended up on the short end of back and forth battle. Although a rough night for the team, each man gained valuable experience by participating. For full results visit: www.naafs.tv

NAAFS "Caged Fury 12"

On October 12, 2010 Landon Khakdoust and George Comer represented the team at NAAFS "Caged Fury 12" at the historic Gray's Armory in Cleveland, Ohio. Landon started out strong but was clipped by a left hook. With Landon dazed just a bit his opponent was relentless with strikes on the ground until the referee was force to call a stop to the action. Landon kept things in perspective, knowing each fight he'll learn from. George Comer made the move FROM 155 to 170lbs to take on undefeated Nick Kilian in the NAAFS semi-finals. George controlled the entire fight, using a great game plan combined with outstanding athleticism to secure a unanimous decision from all three judges. Comer now has the opportunity to become the first 2x NAAFS amateur champion, and more impressively by going UP a weight class to do it!

Dan Farnworth continued with his fourth win in a row. This time via arm bar submission at :55 of the very first round. Tommy Salvatore continued his unbeaten streak since coming under the GriffonRawl flag with a submission win in the second round.

Following the first round Donny had counters for all of Nesto's submission attempts throughout the remaining four rounds. He stuffed takedown attempts and landed a good amount of elbow strikes. As the fight went into "championship rounds" four and five, Donny appeared in control and the judges agreed, giving Donny a unanimous decision victory over the ever-tough Nesto. This marked Donny's sixth consecutive professional victory. Following the fight, Donny addressed the WEC rumors by saying he feels ready and he just wants to keep fighting.

Jason Dent MMA Seminar in Slippery Rock, PA

On Saturday August 21st 2010 Jason Dent along with Donny Walker traveled out to Slipper Rock, PA to conduct a MMA seminar. The seminar was put on by a woman named Kelly Labor who is a huge fan and student of the sport. Here is a testimonial she was kind enough to e-mail in after the seminar.

Jason Dent and Donny Walker came to our location and held a three plus hour seminar for 8 members of our school. Their knowledge, ability to communicate ideas and their hands-on teaching was awesome. The group they taught aged from 14 through 40 years old and EVERYONE benefited. I'd highly recommend GriffonRawl Academy to anyone interested in real mixed martial arts.

NAAFS "War on the Shore 4"

On Saturday, July 24, 2010, the NAAFS held "the summers biggest bash" at The Cove in Geneva, Ohio. War on the Shore featured six Griffonrawl combatants.
George Murphy made his debut at 135lbs. Although he fell victim to a guillotine choke in the third round, George was able to gain a great deal of valuable experience and put on a great showing taking and giving heavy blows throughout the contest. We look forward to seeing George much, much sooner than later.
Nick Albrecht made his debut at 145lbs. Nick had an excellent debut, demonstrating solid skills on his feet and on the ground. He weathered several heavy blows, but was in complete control throughout the contest. When the dust settled, he was rewarded by the judges with a unanimous decision from the judges.
John Burbol had to deal with opponents changing up until the week before the fight. Once he entered the cage, those distractions were of little consequence as John improved to 4-2 with his second TKO in as many fights. This one came late in the first round, when John unleashed a wicked straight right that dropped his opponent and forced the referee to stop the contest.
Dan Farnworth made history by posting the fastest victory by triangle choke in NAAFS history. Beating the previous record (39 seconds) by 5 seconds, Dan improved to 3-1 with his 34 seconds in the cage.
'Wildman' Matt Hopkins utilized a solid game plan to defeat a very tough Ricky Foster by unanimous decision. Matt displayed a strong showing on his feet as well as on the ground. Matt had been absent from the fight scene for some time, but showed no ring rust as he made his return in his hometown.
George Comer continued his winning ways by improving to 7-0 with a unanimous decision victory in the main event of the evening. George showed continued improvement of his feet, as well as his solid ground game. George demonstrated that the phrase uttered by Muhammad Ali, "The fight is won or lost far away from witnesses - behind the lines, in the gym, and out there on the road, long before I dance under those lights" is true.

A big thanks goes out to all the teachers and training partners at Griffonrawl who made this a great night of fights.

Pro Fighting Fans "Jason Dent & Donny Walker Interviews"

Following two of the most exciting and action packed fights in the history of the Griffonrawl MMA Academy, Pro Fighting Fans (http://www.profighting-fans.com/) writer Luke Jernigan sat down with team captain Jason 'Dynamite' Dent. In a seperate interview, Curt Heinrichs spoke with boxing instructor Donny 'Eagle Eye' Walker. Both are exceptional interviews and well worth the read.

Extreme Fight Club "Downtown Beatdown 3"

Erie, Pennsylvania

Avalon Hotel Ballroom

On Saturday, June 12, 2010, Team GriffonRawl's Donny Walker took on Bombsquad MMA's (New York) Kenny Foster in a professional featherweight contest. Kenny entered the contest with a professional record of 7-1, with his only blemish coming at the hands of current World Extreme Cagefighting (WEC) featherweight Mackens "Da Menace" Semerzier.

Matchmaker Jason Lawrence showed he was a veteran of the MMA community by pitting two men who came to leave it all in the cage. Donny was dropped in the first round following a wicked overhand left from Foster, but showed why he is one of the most exciting featherweights in the country, rallying to get the fight standing where he landed damaging blows of his own.

In the second round, Donny landed a brutal knee to the face of Foster that not only broke his nose but cut Foster that caused a large amount of blood to come pouring from his face. The fight was stopped momentarily as the cage-side doctor examined and then determined Foster was able to continue. Literally and figuratively, Donny smelled blood and went back to work landing elbows to Foster that added to the damage and caused new cuts. Throughout both rounds, both men kept pressing forward landing heavy blows to the excitement of the crowd. The one-minute break between rounds two and three had to be extended to clean up the puddles that formed seemingly everywhere.

Early in round 3 Donny was attacking from his guard and opened up Foster again, but this time the referee determined there was simply too much blood loss from Foster to allow the contest to continue, thereby giving Donny a TKO victory and his fifth consecutive win.

In the post fight interview, Donny thanked his team and his wife for their support and then made his pitch to the WEC, asking to be called up to the world's leading promotion for featherweights. Having put on tremendous, exciting fights with WEC veterans Cub Swanson and Jeff Curran, coupled with his victory over an extremely tough Kenny Foster, Donny has taken yet another step towards goal---the WEC.

Donny's next scheduled fight is August 28, 2010. He is set to face Mike Nesto for the NAAFS pro-series featherweight title.

Griffonrawl MMA Academy "Face Lift"

The Griffonrawl MMA Academy has received a "face lift" in two ways.

First, the physical side. Team captain and owner Jason Dent continues to put money back into the business in order to continually improve the academy. His latest venture was to have the windows stensiled with the new logo and cage images. His never-dying love for his academy has made Griffonrawl into the area's leading martial arts studio.

Next the technical side. Traditionally, the only "e-news" was fight results. Moving forward, promotions inside the academy, "smoker" results, grappling tournaments, seminars, and updates to the website or the academy itself will be in the e-news section of http://www.ohio-mma.com/.

Our hope is to keep visitors to the website more up-to-date on the academy and not to simply report the results of MMA competitions.

Belt Promotion "John Strmac"

After many years of study under his main instructor Jeff Starr, John Strmac was promoted to purple belt on May 23, 2010 in the Relson Gracie Jiu-Jitsu Academy. John has participated in tournaments in Ohio and Pennsylvania and has attended seminars held by such names as Relson Gracie, Robin Geisler, Saulo and Xande Ribeiro, Romero "Jacare" Calvacant, Jeff Monson, "Zee," and Chris Brennan.

NAAFS "Fight Night in the Flats VI"

Cleveland, Ohio

Nautica Pavilion

On Saturday June 5, 2010 three of GriffonRawl's veterans were set for action in the regions biggest event--Fight Night in the Flats VI.

Bryon McCroskey had his hands full with NAAFS veteran, Joey Holt. Both men fought well, hit hard, and looked to be in tremendous shape for the bout. In the end, Holt was awarded a split decision victory, and in a fight that close it could have gone either way. Both men showed why they are on the cusp of turning professional.

Reggie Parks fell short against Bill Morosetti, who chained submission attempts together in a most impressive fashion. Reggie was able to counter and defend the submission attempts in the first round but an arm bar by Morosetti was locked in during round 2 that forced Reggie to tap at the 1:56 mark.

Jason Dent moved up a weight class and Chris Lozano moved down a weight class, thereby pitting the NAAFS Lightweight Champion against the NAAFS Middleweight Champion in 5-round "superfight" championship bout. Lozano came out strong and threw a head kick that, when blocked by Dent, snapped Jason's left forearm in half. Ever the warrior, Jason kept fighting and between rounds one and two told his corner he wasn't going down without a fight, even though he could feel the bones in his arm moving left and right, and was unable to throw anything with his left hand. The two continued to bludgeon one another, but at the end of the forth round, Dr. Jerome Williams called a stop to the contest due to a large cut on Jason's forehead. Jason and Chris embraced, put their feud aside and took the opportunity in the post fight interview to complement one another on each other's toughness and skill.

Although the team came up short on paper, it was an epic night for GriffonRawl. All three men showed why they are true warriors, but more importantly truly classy men.

RFO: "Big Guns 5"

On Saturday, May 22, 2010, John Strmac was the lone GriffonRawl member on the Revelation Fight Organization's "Big Guns 5" in Mansfield, Ohio.

Pitted against Greg Petty for the RFO amateur bantamweight title, John overcame a slow start and big bombs from Petty and rallied in rounds two and three to win a unanimous decision victory. Greg was intense, athletic and came strong throwing heavy shots throughout their three round bout. John was able to weather the onslaught and followed excellent, intelligent instruction from Jason Dent to improve to 8-2.

NAAFS "Caged Fury 11"

On Saturday, April 24, 2010 Team GriffonRawl sent John Burbol and Landon Khakdoust into action at Potters Fieldhouse in East Liverpool, Ohio.

John Burbol (185lbs) had to knock 18 months of rust off in his bout against Dustin Moniger of Team Bloody Buddy. Going into the third round, John was either even or down on the judges scorecards. Landing a heavy shot on his feet, John followed Dustin to the ground, where John was able to trap Dustin's right arm and strike at will causing the referee to call a stop to the contest. John was declared victorious via TKO at :59 of the third round.

Landon Khakdoust (170lbs) was doing well in the first round until he caught in the mount position up against the fence. The experienced Hoppel was able to take advantage of the position and Landon was unable to escape causing the contest to be stopped at 2:35 of the first round. Landon continues to only fight the toughest competitors and no doubt will be better in the long run.

NAAFS "Northcoast Showdown 5"

Four of Griffonrawl's warriors were in action for NAAFS "Northcoast Showdown 5" in Streetsboro, Ohio on April 18, 2010.





Jason Departo made his debut at 145lbs. Although Jason lost by unanimous decision, he showed tremendous heart and perseverance throughout the contest and gained valuable experience that will pay dividends in the future.


Steve Hetzel also made his debut at 145lbs. Steve used a sound strategy to defeat the effective striker, Ray Ewert of Rising Dragon MMA. Steve was dominate in the first two rounds and was able to maintain control in round three to earn his first MMA victory. Having no previous martial arts experience prior to joining Team GriffonRawl, Steve showed what hard work and dedication can bring.


Dave Klima fell short of victory at 170lbs, but in the process of the three round fight he showed many good signs and fought valiantly throughout the nine minute contest. Showing sound resolve, Dave was at practice the following Monday eager to improve and move forward towards his next contest.


Tom Salvatore wasted little time in the cage starting out explosive with heavy strikes against Johnny Dionisi of Team Air-Gadfly. The contest was called at :35 of the very first round, earning Tom a TKO victory. Ever-impoving, Tom capitalized on his cross training to earn his second victory since joining the team.


Congratualtions to all members, who fought hard and represented Team Griffonrawl with class in each bout.

UMMAXX 10

Two of Griffonrawl's finest were in action at UMMAXX 10 and both were up for title bouts.

George Comer used an excellent strategy against the seasoned and always game, Relentless Russ Halsey of Pain Headquarters to win the UMMAXX Amateur Lightweight title. After three exciting rounds, George was declared victorious by all three judges. Congrats to George on his second amateur title!

Paul Compton took on Jay McLean for the UMMAXX professional featherweight title. Jay landed an early head kick and the referee stepped in calling a stop to the contest at 1:40 seconds. Although Jay landed a clean shot, many believed it was a premature stoppage. Afterwards, a classy-Compton stated, "It may have been an early stoppage, but it was a great kick by Jay."

NAAFS "Caged Fury 7 (SemiFinals)"

On October 10, 2009, Team GriffonRawl sent four men into semi-final action of the 2009 NAAFS amateur series.

Ryan Lose failed in his attempt to avenge an earlier defeat to Doug Kulbis at 145lbs. An entertaining fight which Lose did a good deal of damage, both men showed incredible heart. It was Kulbis, however, that was able to secure a choke mid-way through round three.

George Comer defeated a very dangerous Jordan Knippelberg by unanimous decision to send the second amateur lightweight from the team to the finals in three years. George avoided the dangerous submission specialist utilizing his athleticism and well thought-out game plan.

Reggie Parks and Bryon McCroskey were both set for action at 170lbs. The former would showcase the spirit of competition and sportsmanship that makes Team Griffonrawl truly a TEAM. Bryon's opponent in August failed to show following weigh-ins and Bryon again found his opponent unable to fight due to a legitimate reason. In an incredible display of unselfishness, Reggie bowed out of the tournament, allowing Bryon to take his place and fight his opponent, Larry Ray. Bryon secured a victory in round one by ankle lock. NAAFS officials did the right move, and declared Reggie a winner in his "bout." Not willing to fight each other, Bryon and Reggie were declared co-champions in the welterweight division.

NAAFS "Night of Champions 2009 "

On Saturday, December 5, 2009 Team Griffonrawl sent two men into action at NAAFS Night of Champions.

But first and foremost, Reggie Parks and Bryon McCroskey were honored as the 2009 NAAFS Welterweight C0-Champions!

In the cage, Bryon McCroskey made an unsuccessful drop to 155lbs, coming just short by a split decision from the judges. It appeared McCroskey did much more damage, but Tony Castillo may have been more active.

In the 155lb amateur title fight, George Comer, whom most had as a significant underdog, executed a great game plan to defeat rival Kevin Rothacker of Strong Style Fight Team. This is the second amateur lightweight title in three years for Team Griffonrawl.

NAAFS "Caged Fury 9"

On February 20, 2010, three Griffonrawl veterans stepped into action at NAAFS "Caged Fury 9" at the historic Gray's Armory. Alongside 2009's Rock N Rumble, Caged Fury 9 will be looked back upon as a hallmark evening for Team Griffonrawl.

Bryon McCroskey (155) improved his record and showcased a beatiful combination on his feet and finished strong forcing a stop to the action, giving Bryan a :35 TKO victory over Instigator's Zack Sutek.

Reggie Parks (170) gained his unanimous decision victory via an extremely well thought out game plan, and exectued to perfection over previously unbeaten Travis Soto of Vander Fighting Systems.

Donny Walker moved into the finals of the pro-series featherweight tournament by defeating Dustin Kempf, in what all in attendance agree is a fight of the year candidate. NAAFS President, Greg Kalikas proclaimed, "That's the best fight I've ever seen in person." Donny secured the wild, back and forth war with a referee stoppage at 4:55 of the second round.

Not only did all three men come away victorious, they looked excellent in their performances as well. Team Griffonrawl showed great sportsmanship throughout the night, in and out of the cage.

SCF War in the Heartland "This One's Personal"

Elyria, Ohio

Elyrian Roll Arena

On Saturday Februrary 26th 2010 GR once again returned to fight in the SCF organization. It ended up being another great night for us. We took one proffessional and three amateurs to compete on this night. Long story short we ended up going 3-1 and here are our teams results. Paul Compton won the 145lb Pro SCF Title via TKO in round three after hitting his opponent with a beatiful head kick and following it up by dropping some bombs on his dazed opponent Matt Horning. Paul is one of our Pro's and took this fight against the much more experienced Horning who has over 40 proffesional fights under his belt. Now on to our ammy's where Tommy Judd made his debut with our team winning by TKO improving his record to 1-1, Dan Farnworth continued his winning ways by finishing his tough opponent with a beautiful traingle choke improving his record to 2-1, and last but not the least the ever so tough Ryan Lose fought a very tough opponent and ended up getting caught with a big punch and getting TKOed. Losses do happen even to skilled fighters. Ryan will bounce back and be a force to reckon with for sure. Thanks to all of the family, friends, of the fighters whos showed up and supported us and a BIG thanks to all of the GR students who came out and supported as well.
