Fight and Tournament Results!
Dan and Kit both won their fights via unanimous decision. They looked good, had pretty dominate performances. Kit improves now to 4-0, and Dan is now 4-1 as ammys.
I competed at Grapplers Quest over this past weekend while I was in Houston at the UFC expo, and the UFC. I won the Men’s Advanced NO-GI 170-179 class, submitting everyone I rolled. After my division I entered the advanced absolute as well, I submitted a couple of tough guys, I lost my 3rd absolute match via kneebar, I was ahead 5-0, but basically got lazy and he was awesome with the leg locks. it was a fun experience, I am looking forward to the next one!
