Comer Wins at Caged Vengeance 13

George Comer extended his winning streak impressively last night at NAAFS Caged Vengenance 13 by submitting BJJ ace Stephen Singleton with a head - arm choke in the second round of their three round fight.

Comer and Singleton came into the fight with nearly identical records (Comer 10-1, Singleton 9-1), though Singleton had been far  more active over the last 12 months, with 4 of his 7 consecutive wins coming in 2012.  Six of those wins were by submission in the first round of the fight.  Singleton also boasted a significant height and reach advantage, which figured prominently in Jason Dent's fight strategy.

Comer got the takedown early in the first round, and dominated the round in top position with Singleton attacking from his back.  The second round was the same story with Comer getting the takedown and establishing control early.  From there it was a back and forth submission battle with Comer nearly caught in a deep triangle thrown up from the bottom by Singleton. In the end though Comer's dominant positioning allowed him to snag an arm and lock in the choke.  Comer's pro record is now 2-1, with a perfect record of finishes.

This win marks the end of Comer's exclusive contract with NAAFS, and the beginning of his time as a free agent.  His manager and head coach, Jason Dent says "We intend to keep George busier this year.  He's ready to fight away from his home turf."
