GriffonRawl went 2 for 2 tonight at NAAFS opening event for 2014. The 26th edition of the Combat Challenge series unfolded Saturday night at Chapparell’s Community Center in Akron, OH. A full crowd watched 36 amateur fighters put it all on the line. GR was ably represented by Ahmad Douglas and Joe Callari. George Comer and Miguel Defina did the cornering honors for the GR Team.
Joe Callari was up first and finished his opponent in the first round by Guillotine Choke, bringing his record to 7-6. It’s worth noting that Joe came to GR with a 2-4 record, and with hard work and dedication has been 5-2 during his time with the team.
Ahmad Douglas was up next and his fight went longer. This is the first time Ahmad's opponent has lasted until the third round. About half way through the final round Ahmad took his opponent’s back and locked in a tight Rear Naked Choke for the win. Ahmad keeps his perfect record at 3-0, all finishes.
Be sure to congratulate these two GR Warriors when you see the at the Academy.
