Fight To Win Promotions came to the rescue of the local MMA community this past Saturday as WE starved for some combat action over the past few weeks.

How spoiled we have become!

One of the top nationally ranked amateur fighters in the world was in town for a showdown with a highly touted young fighter making his pro debut and eyeing the upset.

Also on tap was the fight that many fight fans have been waiting for…

The Final Round in the 145lb FTW Grand Prix Tournament, as Nick Mamalis and Ron Muir were ready for battle in the co-main event of the evening!

In the main event, Colorado native Chase Hackett stepped into the cage for his professional debut against the unbeaten amateur standout Drew Dober of Nebraska.

Dober started with a brief stint of strong stand-up before Hackett clinched up and worked towards the take-down.

The ground fight was short lived and the combatants were back to their feet in the center of the ring.  The back and forth stand-up and ground fighting continued for most of the round with Hackett controlling the majority of the exchanges.

Prior to the first bell, Hackett landed a brutal overhand right dropping Dober like a sack a potatoes.  Dober quickly regained his wits and pulled guard but took a few shots along the way.

The second round was like a two minute replay of the ending of the first as Hackett came out and landed another brutal overhand right plummeting Dober back to the canvas in a daze.

Hackett wasted no time in moving forward with his attack slamming strikes to the head before moving to side control and continuing to display his vicious GNP attack.

As the round was nearing a close the fight was back to the stand-up exchanges eventually hitting the ground and Hackett still maintaining control with Dober getting back to his feet landing a couple clean shots but never putting Hackett in any danger.

Round three was a mirror image of the first two and Hackett proceeded with his dominant performance in his first pro fight.  Hackett could not finish off the game Dober and the fate of both fighters was in the hands of the judges.

Hackett came out with an impressive 30-27 unanimous decision over the extremely talented Drew Dober his pro debut and it appears the skies the limit for Hackett with a huge victory in front of the hometown crowd.

Constantly beating Dober to the punch, proved to be the key ingredient to victory as Hackett landed numerous strikes and did an excellent job of keeping the fight on the ground and pounding his way to victory.

In the co-main event we had the final round of the FTW Grand Prix 145lb pro tournament with Rough House MMA’s Ron Muir and the Underground Fight Clubs Nick Mamalis ready for war and bragging rights.

Mamalis started with some promising strikes and stuffing Muir’s take-down attempts with a solid sprawl.  The action was back on the feet and Mamalis was back to unloading crisp straight shots in displaying his arsenal.

Muir continued to shoot on numerous occasions but Mamalis was quick to shove him to the canvas and force the fight to remain standing. Mamalis responded with a stiff right hand sending Muir to the floor.

Muir had no time to waste as he quickly grabbed a hold of Mamalis to regain his composure and shake the cob webs.

The fight was once again back on the feet and Mamalis landed another devastating straight left followed by a powerful knee putting his opponent back on the canvas.

Mamalis jumped in and delivered a some GNP then moved to side control and backed off to bring the fight back to the stand-up position where he had an obvious advantage.

Muir needing to pull off something and shot in for another take-down but came up short in his attempt as the frustration mounted.

We ended the round with Muir pulling guard as Mamalis went for a take-down of his own.  Mamalis postured up and landed some good strikes before the sound of the bell.

Unfortunately Muir was unable to respond to the second round bell as his corner had felt he had enough and threw the towel into the center of the ring.

Mamalis picked up the FTW pro 145lb title as well as the winner of the Grand Prix and proved to be one of Colorado’s brightest stars as he faced top notch talent and seemingly made it look easy in each fight throughout the tournament.

Brett Roller and Joe Doeherty were set to do battle for the FTW 135lb pro title. Roller was ready to do damage early as he rushed in and started throwing strikes before he got the takedown and moved on to some GNP action.

Doeherty seemed to be comfortable on his back as he had a very active guard never allowing Roller to set up and land any heavy blows.

The fighters were back to their feet and both started working good hand combinations before the action was stopped as Roller received a few shots to the back of the head forcing the warning by referee Adam Martinez.

The action continued and Roller went in for the takedown landing in the guard of Doeherty. Once again the fighters showed good grappling skills with sweeps and mounts as well as reversals and some strikes along the way.

Round two started much like the first with great action from both warriors punishing one another with a variety of attacks including a heel hook attempt by Doeherty.

Approaching the middle of the second stanza, Doeherty began to take control as fatigue became a huge factor for Roller as he was noticeably spent and fighting to get his second wind.

Doeherty seemingly took notice to the delayed response of Roller and clinched up and started delivering knees to the body of Roller then immediately followed up with strikes to the head.

Roller worked out of danger momentarily to fall in the guard but got swept and ended up on bottom taking strikes and elbows to end out the round.

In the third round, Doeherty came out with a good head kick and Roller went in for the takedown. Doeherty pulled in the guillotine on the way down as the fighters hit the mat he closed up the guard and finished the choke.

Doeherty became the new champ at 11 seconds of the third round in what was a very entertaining fight.

Matt Simms put his 155lb amateur title on the line against the more experienced Mike Suksi.

Simms wanted this fight on the ground as he quickly clinched up and went for the big slam.

Simms kept control and moved right to side control then got the mount. Suksi showed off his ground game as he swiftly pulled off a great sweep.

Smooth like a snake, Simms slithered his way to guard and grabbed his shin in preparation of the triangle.

Continuing to finish his submission, Simms latched on the other leg and began to pull down on the head to solidify the choke forcing his game opponent to tap at 51 seconds of the first round.

Zac Chavez and Mirsad Bectik entered the ring for the FTW 145lb amateur title.

Round one was fast paced non-stop action as Bectik had a variety of positions to strike from as he quickly transitioned from side control to north-south then back to side control working in various strikes during the transitions.

Bectik continued the GNP from numerous positions while Chavez performed a sweep to regain the top position.  With little time left in the round Chavez threw a few strikes of his own but they did not impact the round as Bectik controlled the action throughout.

Round two Chavez came out with a BIG overhand right, narrowly missing the target.  With his head towards the ground, Bectik slid around and took back control, then got the mount and returned to back control before moving to the RNC.

Chavez did a great job of defending the submissions as Bectik started in with some more GNP in an effort to free up another submission attempt.

In the back position Bectik turned up the heat and let ‘em fly as referee Adam Martinez called a halt to the action at 2:03 of round two declaring Bectik the new 145lb champion by way of TKO.

Diego Alvarez and Rob Celani gave the fight fans everything they had in their respective tanks in a non-stop action packed three round battle with Celani coming out with the unanimous decision.

Jason Lee picked up a unanimous decision victory over the very game Geremy Gaskill. Lee had shown polished skills inside the ring throughout the fight but could not seem to find an answer for the reach advantage of Gaskill. Gaskill’s reach kept Lee at bay keeping him from landing the KO blow.

Jeremy Hastings ended his match up against Carlos Garcia with a triangle at 2:48 of round one.  This fight started as a slug fest before hitting the ground. Hastings locked in his submission from the mount to end the fight.

Sebastian White took home a 29-28 unanimous decision over Brian Marnec over three good rounds of action.

Kyle Nelson defeated Hector Sanchez in a three round war by way of unanimous decision.

In the main event Chaun Sims matched up with the talented Kenneth Seegrist. The fighters took a brief moment for measure and locked up. Seegrist with great reaction caught a kick from Sims and drove him to the canvas.

Sims quickly gained his footing, clinched up and scored a takedown to move on and control his opponent from the back. Seegrist worked to get back to his feet and pulled in a single leg of his own.

Sims decided the ground was a good place to be and continued precise movements to counter the explosions performed by Seegrist. The ground action continued and both fighters working to improve their offensive position and deliver some strikes.

Sims extraordinary BJJ started to showcase as he took control over the ground. He worked his way to north south and locked his legs in a reverse type triangle trapping both the head and arm of Seegrist and began raining down GNP.

Sims never let up moving to side control then the mount and on to back control punishing Seegrist the whole way. Once in full control of the back Sims began to soften Seegrist with some strikes presenting him the opportunity to pull in the ending RNC at 4:16 of the first round.

Nick Mamalis and Jesse Henley matched up in the co-main event with the winner advancing to one of the final spots in the Fight to Win 145 lb Grand Prix that started this past May and will conclude in September.

Mamalis wasted no time in going for the take-down and Henley latched his arms around for a guillotine with Mamalis ending up in side control.

As the fighters began a scramble Mamalis responded with a very tight guillotine forcing Henley to tap at 1:00 of round 1. Mamalis is advancing to the third and final round of the Grand Prix.

Ron Muir and Brett Roller entered the ring to claim the other spot in the Fight to Win 145 lb Grand Prix.

Roller began with a good right kick to the body causing Muir to lose his footing and fall to the canvas.
Muir wasted no time in returning to his feet and grabbing a leg and driving Roller down on the side of the ring.

Muir began to work his GNP.  With all the commotion, the fight worked its way under the ropes and the ref was forced to relocate the action to the center of the ring. Muir was put back on top while Roller was on all fours.

The strikes began and Muir rolled to his back putting his hooks in during the process. Roller started to defend the choke and sneaked in a few strikes with Muir on his back.

It only took a moment of distraction and Muir got the arm under the chin and on to his bicep to lock in a very tight RNC an 1:52 of round 1. Muir is looking to face Mamalis for the final match up in the Fight to Win Grand Prix.

Justen Martin and Andy Cohea were set to battle for the 170 lb amateur title. This fight started with some fast paced stand up action and then hitting the ground.

The ground action did not last long as both fighters were quickly back to their feet. Martin and Cohea clinched up and moved on to a little dirty boxing.

Martin moved to a strong clinch and started with crushing knees dropping Cohea. Martin jumped on to finish what he started and the ref jumped in to put a halt to the situation at 1:31 of the first round. Martin picked up an amateur title and improved his record to 5-2 with the victory.

Joel Mickells and Anthony Werner match up for the 135 lb amateur title. Both fighters, throughout the first worked their attack with numerous reversals and landed some good strikes in the process. This made for an exciting back and forth action packed first round.

Round two began right where we left off with back and forth action and then Werner got the takedown and the fight was now on the canvas. Mickells took the opportunity to pull in his leg for a triangle at the :42 second mark of round 2.

Joel Mickells became the new FTW 135 lb title holder and in a great show of sportsmanship, Mickells went on a search for his foe immediately following their bout to introduce Werner to the rest of his family which I thought was just great see as both combatants appeared to be off for some drinks after the bried introduction.

Jeremy Kimball defeated Nick Meyer as Kimball had a couple of promising moments in the first dropping Meyer in pain but was unable to finish him off.

The second was all Kimball working big strikes and knees from the ground. At the end of the second the fighters were brought to their feet and Kimball clinched up and landed a pounding right hand.

Meyer picked himself up off the canvas  after hearing the sound of the bell.  Meyer was unable to answer the third round bell due to a cut to the left eye.

Kimball became the new 185 lb champion at the young and mold-able age of 18.  Kimball seems to have a bright future in the MMA scene as he just turned 18 about 4 months ago and has already been crowned an amatuer titlist.

Mark Mickells and John Craycraft faced off for the Fight to Win 125 lb amateur title.   This fight quickly went to the ground and Mickells instantly went to his rubber guard.   Sitting patiently Mickells waited for Craycraft to move so he could advance for a submission.

Successfully baiting Craycraft, Mickells latched in the triangle.   He began to constrict his legs and pull the head finishing off the triangle.

Mickells claimed victory at 1:02 of the first round and retained his 125 lb amateur title.

Valentine Marquez defeated Ben Deanda in a 3 round war that went the distance. This was another classic match up of two fighters with great skills neutralizing one another to the end. After all was complete Marquez walked away with a unanimous decision.

Jeremy Hastings faced up with Kyle Lemaire in an exciting battle to the second round.  Hastings struck first landing 2 clean shots to the face of Lemaire putting him to the floor in a daze.

Lemaire grabbed on to regain his composure and the ref brought the fight back standing and the fighters went back to the ground were Lemaire was content in landing some GNP for the remainder of the first round.

Round 2 Lemaire started with a take-down to mount and Hastings worked his guard. The action continued and Hastings kept an active guard and locked in the ending triangle choke at 2:33 of round 2.

Alonso Garcia and Matt Kauffman enter the ring for another 170 lb Muay Thai fight. Garcia kept a continuous pace and was the obvious ring aggressor leaving a  better impression on the judges.  All judges scored in favor of Garcia as he pick up his first fight win by unanimous decision.

JJ Mondragon and Nick Macias exchanged everything but the kitchen sink in their showdown, as both fighters left it all in the cage to a chorus of rukus MMA fans.  This fight was an all out war, with both fighters feeling the heat as both were momentarily stunned by viscous blows just to come back strong in retaliation.

It was three rounds of grueling action and one of this years most exciting fights without a doubt, but in the end it was Mondragon that prevailed by way of unanimous decision and took home the victory in yet another slug-fest.

Brice Hogle defeated Steve Johnson in a Thai bout that went the distance.  Hogle picked up his first win via unanimous decision in the 185 lb weight class.

Nick Laney defeated Troy Mumme in a great MMA bout with lots of good back and forth Jiu Jitsu. Both fighters kept an active guard and threatened with various submissions in both the first and second rounds. Round three started with an exchange and Mumme taking the fight to the ground.

At 1:55 of round 3 Laney locked in a triangle and forced Mumme to tap.

Ricky Vasquez and Keith Burns entered the ring for a debut 170 lb Muay Thai match up. Both Vasques and Burns came prepared for their first fight with exceptional condition forcing the fights winner to be determined by the judges.

Vasquez had clearly controlled all rounds with a continues pace of various strikes over the game Burns and he was issued a unanimous score of 29-28 from all three judges.

The National Western Stock Show Complex played host to Fight To Win’s Grand Prix tournament with another stacked fight card including an 8 man 145 lb professional tourney and 3 titles on the line.

In the Main Event, both Ian Berg and Ken Kreuscher made their pro debut and did not disappoint.  With back and forth ground work and brief but powerful exchanges throughout the first round, the fight fans couldn’t wait for the second stanza.

Berg came out in the second with guns-a-blazin’ and landed 2 crushing right hands sending Kruescher to the canvas. Referee Eric Heinz was forced to call the stoppage at the 6 second mark with Berg being the winner by KO.

Jesse Henley and Nick Bushman were the last fight of the 8 man tourney. Bushman started early with the take down followed up with a tight guillotine.

Henley maintained his composure and continually worked to gain space around his neck. Bushman did not let up but it was Henley that came out on top in the mount position.

Bushman maintained his choke as Henley worked out and advanced to a choke of his own the arm triangle. At 1:25 of round 1 Henley declared the win and progressed into the next round of the tournament.

Vellore Caballero matched up with Nick Mamalis as another entry in the excitement. Both fighters showed themselves to be very composed as well as being well rounded with submissions and a very strong stand up.

Throughout the first stanza, both fighters showed their talent landing powerful strikes and keeping an active guard. Mamalis kept on the pressure, continuously moving forward with strikes and kicks keeping Caballero aware of his presence and Caballero would respond with powerful counters.

Round 2 started with Mamalis attacking with great accuracy along with precise movements and strikes. Caballer became overwhelmed by the powerful strikes and the ref stepped in for his safety in only 24 seconds.

Ron Muir and Ricky Johnson were in a 3 round battle with neither fighter finding the answer to finish their opponent and leaving it in the decision of the judges to declare the winner.

Muir came out with the unanimous decision to advance to the second round of the Grand Prix.

Joe Kelso matched up with Brett Roller for the final spot in the tourney. Round 1 both fighters were giving it their all with back and forth action from the clinch to the canvas.

Kelso initiated the first take down but Roller ended the first round of a fairly even match up on the back of Kelso working to lock in the RNC. Roller seemed to have gotten great advice from his corner during the break as he started the second with an instant take down to guillotine transition.

Kelso had no time to counter the perfectly placed submission and was forced to tap to the guillotine at 39 seconds of round two. Roller is moving on to complete the 4 winners that will advance to the next round of the Fight To Win Grand Prix.

Rory O’Farrell faced off against TJ Nunnalley for the 205 lb title. O’Farrell showed to be the aggressor and forced his game plan upon Nunnalley.

O’Farrell locked in a few submission attempts before finding the key, the head and arm choke.

At 2:19 of the first round. O’Farrell claimed the victory and became the new 205 Fight To Win champion.

Matt Simms maintained possession of his 155 lb amateur title as he defeated Tamboura Gerl. Simms showed he want this fight to go to the ground early and with good reason as he is well versed in submissions coming from an extraordinary BJJ school like Zinganos.

Gerl remained on the defense delivering what punishment that was available to him.

Round 2 was back to the canvas with Gerl receiving the take down wanting to give a little GNP. The delivery was short lived as Simms improved his position and pulled in the shin for the triangle choke at the52 second mark of the round .

Josiah Callis and JJ Mondragon put on an amazingly great show for all the fans in attendance. This fight will definitely be in the running for fight of the year come January, as both fighters left it all in the ring.

Both fighters showed why they were fighting for the 145 lb amateur title with a great display of MMA skills landing brutal knees and elbows from the clinch, punishing strikes during the stand up excitement, and countless submission attempts while on the canvas.

As the fighters battled till the finish, the crowed was going wild in anticipation of one fighter pulling out the finish at any moment. Callis left a better impression among the judges, as he was declared the victor of this exciting 3 round war!

Randall Schuckman defeated Chris Brodeur by KO at 35 seconds of round 1.

Jason Lee defeated Sebastion White at 2:24 of round 1 by KO.

In front of a standing room only crowd at Softball Country, Colorado and Nebraska went toe to toe for bragging rights as Fight To Win delivered another stellar night of fights. All Fotos Here!

In the main event of the evening, the Fight To Win Pro Heavyweight Title was up for grabs as Jeff “BIG DISEL” Ford and Abe “HURRICANE” Wagner did battle.

We started this match-up with Ford landing some big strikes then tossing the HUGE Wagner to the canvas and immediately followed up with some GNP.

The Hurricane instantly moved on to his Jiu-Jitsu to pull in a text book arm bar at the 49 second mark of round 1.

Wagner became the new Heavyweight Title holder and appears to have a bright future in the heavyweight division. With his tremendous size and a professional record of 8-2, I would keep an eye on the weather forecast nearest you because this “HURRICANE” could be on a UFC card very soon.

In the co-main event of the evening Chaun Simms faced off against Anthony Smith of Nebraska. This fight went straight to the ground with Simms taking the back of Smith and delivering some GNP.

Simms continued with GNP then transitioned to mount then back control, all with complete domination. Smith continued to take the punishment only covering up but not necessarily defending.

The referee let the action continue despite a few spectators in the crowd pleading for him to“stop the fight”. Simms proceeded with the battering threw the remainder of round 1.

Round two started where round one left off as Simms took his opponent back to the canvas and returned to his battering of Smith with a wide array of weapons. Smith had no answer to the chastisement and the ref finally called a stop to the action at the 2:00 mark of the second round. Simms took home his first professional win in a very impressive fashion.

Robert “EL MARTILLO” Martinez put his Fight To Win Amateur 170 lb Title on the line against Tambora Gerl in a battle of Colorado fighters.

Gerl began with a few good strikes to the face of Martinez followed by a take down but Martinez had no problem rising to his feet. Just as Martinez stood upright Gerl landed an illegal knee to the head and the ref called a halt to the action. Gerl was warned as there are no knees allowed to the head in a Colorado amateur bout.

The action was restarted and it was Martinez landing a few solid shots. Then once again Gerl shot in for the take down but Martinez worked to neutralize the GNP of Gerl and got the fight back to the feet where he seemed comfortable.

The fighters had a short exchange of strikes when Gerl landed another illegal knee to the head at which time the referee called for a one point deduction as he had been warned just minutes earlier.

Martinez took a brief moment to gain his composure and within a minute or so he was ready to continue.

The action went back to the center of the ring as El Martillo unleashed a combination of strikes sending Gerl to the canvas. Martinez immediately pounced on his opponent allowing him no time to recover.

After Martinez’s GNP was put into action a stop was called at 2:33 into the first round.

Prentice Ingram locked horns with the undefeated and highly regarded Drew Dober for the Fight To Win 145 lb Amateur Title. This was a non stop, fast paced, action packed fight. Both fighters started the action in the clinch driving knees and strikes into one another working for leverage.

Nearing the end of the first stanza, Ingram took the fight to the ground and began to establish some ground control as Dober threw up-kicks from his back for the rest of the first round.

Dober started the second round with a front kick and Ingram returned with a round kick of his own. They continued kick for kick and blow for blow with neither fighter willing to back down.

Dober decided to take the fight to the ground with a big slam and quickly moved to side control. Dober began a dominant display of GNP with smooth transitions from mount to back control with a variety of strikes and RNC attempts to finish the second round.

Dober began the third round with a big left kick and proceeded with some swift strikes while Ingram maintained his position and countered with some punishment of his own.

Midway through the round, Dober successfully shoots for the takedown and quickly moved to side control then the mount delivering accurate strikes.

Dober began to take over and Ingram was looking to stop the dominance as both fighters showed a spectacular display of well rounded MMA skills.

Drew Dober kept his undefeated record intact moving to 12-0 and capturing the 145lb FTW crown.

Ian Berg defeated Zach Johnson in a very quick 35 seconds of round 1 by KO
