Ultimate Chaos: The Recap

First off as a fan of MMA I enjoy watching MMA fights no matter who is fighting, but man was the broadcast of this show horrible.  The main announcer was mispronouncing the fighters name all day.  Ok enough about that, the fights started slow but had some real good moments. 

Before the show was even started some news was released that Din Thomas was not going to fight.  Thomas originally didn’t make the weight and was under the impression that, missing weight by one and a half, he was ok to rehydrate.  Today the organizers told him he still had to make the weight, and during the second cut he began to get ill so local fighter Mark Kergosien stepped in today. 

The first fight was very disappointing.  It featured James Orso and Danny Abbadi which was just a bad fight.  Some of you may remember Abbadi who had a short lived career in the UFC; he was Matt Hamill’s BFF in TUF season three.  The fight was basically Orso in Abbadi’s guard or a lot of missed punches and kicks.  James Orso wins by Unanimous Decision. 

Fight number two is Brandon Harder vs. John Harris and it’s a little bit better.  The first round is back and forth with both men punching their butts off.  Harder is in better shape and it shows.  Harder is getting takedowns when he wants to and at one point gets a guillotine on Harris with the round ending with Harder having Harris’s back.

Round two starts and goes into the ground almost immediately with Harris on top but not really landing any punches.  Harris is wore out and with about a minute and a half left Harder gets a sweep and goes to the side mount.  From the side mount Harris gets an arm triangle and finishes with 30 seconds left in the second round. 

Tom Atencio vs. Randy Hedderickis fight number three and it ended very oddly. It started with Hedderick rocking Atencio early and Atencio didn’t really look good in the first round.  Hedderick is working the clinch and landing the Muay Thai knees all day. 

Round two starts similarly with knees from Hedderick.  Atencio gets a number of takedowns and although Hedderick is able to get standing Atencio is relentless with the takedowns.  The round ends with Atencio landing some really big punches from the top given Hedderick a badly busted nose.  Atencio gets the win when Hedderick isn’t able to answer the third round bell.

Brent Cooper vs. Spirit Wolf is the next fight and I’m excited to see Brent Cooper live.  He is on a two year fight win streak and has made a name for himself as of late with wins over Rory Markham and Patrick Speight at the last Affliction event.  That expectation didn’t live up to it.  Mr. Spirit Wolf landed a very nice over hand right and put Cooper on bye-bye street.  Cooper was so gone that when they had him standup he was still walking side to side.  Spirit Wolf wins at 3:41 in the first round.  In the interview Spirit Wolf says that he knew Copper was looking past him and he felt that it was going to be Copper’s downfall.  I guess he was right.
