George Comer Wins at Fight Night in the Flats 8

While it was disappointing that a medical review forced Jason Dent off the card FNF8, George Comer's return to the cage more than made up for it. Facing the very talented and tough Kama Worthy, George turned it up loud for his fans and delivered what may have been his best performance yet.

Worthy was billed as a talented and aggressive striker with strong takedown defense. In a series of interviews before the event, he made it clear that he was not particularly concerned with 'another wrestler', and that he'd 'already fought this fight'. And he wasn't far wrong. With a height and reach advantage he found it easy to keep George at a distance midcage, and several takedown attempts launched from way out went nowhere. It was only when Comer changed his attack, taking the center of the cage, relentlessly pushing the pace, shooting and cutting angles to force Worthy into a shrinking pocket, that he started making progress.

Round two was similar, except the blueprint from round one went faster and the fight was on the ground in about a minute. Then it was time to solve the puzzle of finishing it. At 3:50 Worthy made the critical mistake that allowed George to take his back, 9 seconds later he tapped to a Rear Naked Choke.

Congratulations George.. it was a long wait to fight, but a great win!
