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.
