OK, so I went to my very first Fury FC event. So I can say I’ve been to the big three Texas MMA promotions. Fury, XKO, and LFA. – If you want to count LFA. LFA is kinda like a national promotion right now. Anyway it was a cool experience, a very intimate venue on a rainy night in Duncanville, Texas

So I jumped in my truck, I didn’t even bother to take my DSLR to the venue. I just couldn’t bother with the hassle of trying to get it in. I navigated through all the Christmas traffic and went into the Fieldhouse parking lot, paid the $10 for parking and made my way to the venue – the Duncanville Fieldhouse – A high school basketball gym. The high school kids has a little canteen set up, and they were slinging hot-dogs left and right and even running out of food. I think they were competing with the food vendors inside the actual gym. Anyway, I bought my tickets for $50 and went inside. It was a little on the expensive side if you ask me. Come on guys, give me a code or something, so I can re-watch the fights on Fite.TV, if you’re gonna be charging that type of money. read more

Combate 48: Dia de los Muertos, Combate Texas, Combate Dallas, Combate Garland. They dont really know what to call this one. I wanted to go see these fights, but it just was too cold, and they didn’t really have anyone on the card that moved me. Combate Americas always caters to a Spanish speaking audience, maybe even a little too much… but we all know the language of face punching, and that’s why I like it

Main Event

Gilbert Urbina vs Angelo Trevino – 175

Round 1

Hard kicks by Trevino, Urbina takes his back and becomes a back-pack of pain. They eventually go to the ground and Urbina beats up Trevino. read more

MMA is back to full capacity in Texas, Fury FC 44 took place at the Bayou City Event center in Houston, TX and this was the first event for Fury on UFC FightPass. I’m so glad that its on FightPass because paying for some of the Fury events can be rough… I mean the fights are good, but some of the production can be absolutely horrible. With the FightPass deal, the production is significantly beefed up

This show had Prelims and Postlims, in between those, the main event showcased CJ Vergara vs Jacob Silva for the Fury FC Flyweight title. These two top level flyweight had a war, and CJ Vergara captured the Fury FC Flyweight title, by TKO in the 3rd round, in one of the best fights I’ve seen across any promotion, this year, so far. Check out my Best in Texas post read more

I’ve been kinda keeping up with the Fury promotion. They have great talent down there in Houston. The atmosphere is good, but the judging is soooooo bad. You guys saw it at UFC 247. It can get down right horrible at times, and I really think there is legit corruption there. I cant prove it, but the scores just dont make any sense.

Main Event

Christian Lira vs Jacob Silva – Featherweight – Fury FC title

Round 1

Silva bounces well, throws some good single strikes. He backs up and rocks Lira with a flying knee and is able to get him down and beat him up. 🚩Silva wins by TKO read more

What was unBROKEN in 2019?

Jan. 12 At XKO 44. The Hooters girls were unbroken – I’m not really a horn-dog per se, but for some reason those Hooters girls at the show did something for me. Also The rap music mixed with Tejano was unbroken. – It was more of rap music mashed up with Tejano, I’ve never heard that before, and I was impressed.

Jan 18. At LFA 57 Taylor Johnson was unbroken – The man ran through Aaron Chambers. I was also a little surprised that he was stopped by Jiu Jitsu ace Andre Muniz on the Contender Series. Sometimes they let too savages fight each other on that show read more

The LFA rolled into Belton, TX, just south of Temple to put on LFA 63. It was a fun card with a lot of wars. I was trying to watch The CES 55 event on Fight Pass, but my internet was going through some shit. I really wanted to see Jeremiah Wells. I saw on Twitter that he lost that fight due to a very, very very, very close decision. He’s a fantastic fighter. I didnt think he’d lose at all. Anyway – Back to Belton

Main Event

Justin Patterson vs Derrick Krantz – Welterweight

Round 1

Krantz keeps pulling Patterson into his power. Krantz has great footwork, and he seems to keep getting out of pressure traps that Patterson sets for him. Krantz blitzes Patterson and knocks him down. Krantz KOs Patterson as he tries to get up. An uppercut to knock him out, a straight left to baptize him. 🚩 Krantz wins by KO read more
