Great fights this weekend in Jacksonville! We had a lot of new folks test their skills this weekend.

First up was Grant. Grant recently did a small exhibition in Hot Springs. This weekend he took on a former IKF World Champion in his first Kickboxing match. Grant came out strong and did great. Experience got to him though, as Rudy ended up winning a split decision. Nothing to feel bad about on Grant's end. We're proud of his performance and willingness to take on such a tough and experience opponent in his first fight.



Next up was Buddy. First let me just say something about Buddy. Buddy's been with REVOLUTION for quite some time. Buddy used to weigh 350 lbs. He's undergone such a huge transformation. He weighed in at 216 for this fight. Not only is Buddy in shape, but Buddy has grown and matured so much as a person, it's been a pleasure to know him. He finished his second MMA fight in the second round with a Rear Choke. Congratulations Buddy!







Next up was Brandon. Brandon's been training only a few months. He was scheduled for an exhibition but another fighters opponent didn't show. He stepped up and did a real fight. In the third round he took an illegal stomp while on the ground to an illegal area and was unable to continue. The fight went to the score cards, which had it as a draw. He did get in a lot of good work, and exhibited some good guard work while on his back. With a little time in training he'll be finishing those subs in no time.



Last up was Poe. Poe's been training awhile with REVOLUTION as well. He's competed in the local Arkansas tournaments with some success. This was his first MMA fight. He made weight quite easily and was ready to go. He wobbled his opponent with his solid right cross. He then took the fight to the ground and finished with a guillotine choke at 1:06 in the first round. Congratulations Poe!



Much to your delight, we'll have more Kickboxing equipment in soon!

Robson Moura 7x World Champion will be here March 21. Mark your calendars and be there. It's gonna be fun!

Workshop and testing this Saturday at 12:00 in Hot Springs (Fundamental Submissions and Escapes).

Keep up the good work everyone!
