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.
