NAAFS "Midwest Combat Challenge 13"

On Saturday, March 12, 2011, five GriffonRawl warriors made their way to Akron, Ohio for the NAAFS' Midwest Combat Challenge 13.
Brad Bukovics made his debut at 170lbs against Julius Bello. Brad took the fight to the ground in both rounds one and two. In round one Julius was in trouble, but the round came to the end with Brad landing nice ground and pound. In round two Brad again had the fight on the ground, moved to the mount and Julius was unable to buck him off as Brad continued to strike from the top, forcing the referee to stop the contest.
Zoran Laden took on Jesse Greenhalgh in his second MMA fight. After a back and forth round one, Zoran opened up round two with a nice leg kick. Jesse attempted a takedown, but Zoran stuffed the attempt and got to Jesse's back. After an unsuccessful attempt at a choke, Zoran resorted to heavy strikes and tactic paid off as the referee was forced to stop the contest at 2:55 of round two.
Dan Vandevender made his debut at a catch weight of 150 lbs against Brian Brooks. Dan looked to keep the fight standing early, but Brooks landed a takedown and after a scramble they get back on their feet. Brooks secured another takedown, but Dan hit a nice sweep to get on top. Dan was a little too over anxious, looking to land heavy ground and pound, but Brian chained two submission attempts together, securing an arm bar at 2:25 of round one. Dan gained valuable experience in his debut for the team.
Mike MacDonald went up a weight class to lightweight to take on Pat Callaway. Both fighters exchanged nasty leg kicks and heavy shots throughout the contest. Callaway was busier in round one, but Mike went for a series of submissions including a deep arm bar late in round one. Round two and three were again back and forth. Mike was clearly rocked from a low-blow in round two and took quite a bit of time to recover. In round three Callaway landed a nice uppercut that dazed Mike, and the referee was forced to stop the contest in the latter part of round three.
Chuck Schilling made his way back to the cage after a long layoff against Nate Mango. After an initial leg kick by Mango, Schilling secured a takedown from the cage wall, but Mango was anticipating it, as he had a guillotine locked as they hit the ground. The contest ended at :33 of the first round. Chuck had a long layoff and this experience will only make him better.
