- Special Thanks go out to Anthony J. Sullivan for the following recap and results:

A good sized crowd of about 1,000 fans attended King of the Cage: Cyclone this past Saturday night. It was

the best event to date that I have seen around this area. The referee for every bout was Cecil Peoples.

Fight 1 - Amateur Bout (3x3min)

Abel Collum wins by submission (rear naked choke) at 1:27 of the second round over John Chester

The 145 lb. Abel Collum of New Mexico (now 10-1 amateur record) defeated the 145 lb. John Chester of

Illinois (now  0-2 as an amateur) in 1:27 of the second round by submission due to a rear naked choke. They

came out fast and aggressive to start the show in a great fashion. Collum had the better stand up and many

of his very hard punches found their mark - dropping Chester to the mat. Chester looked like he wanted to be

out of there after taking so many shots but hung in there - Collum was definitely the aggressor landing kicks

and punches at will. Collum, at one point, busted out the crane pose from the Karate Kid movies. Chester

shocked everyone when he dropped Collum towards the end of the round but made the mistake of allowing

Collum back up. Chester had a bloody mouth at the end of the first round. Collum started the second round

landing big punches again but messed up on a slam landing in bottom position. Eventually, Collum came out

on top and took the back of Chester to secure the choke for the win. Abel Collum was extremely impressive

in this bout with his striking ability and aggressive style.

trains with Bas Rutten's fight team in Oklahoma - he had the height advantage being 6'2" to the 5'9" Gillman.

Haynes used a classic wrestling suplex at the start, then took mount where he unloaded punches before

transitioning into side control. Haynes landed big elbows while Gillman worked to try and hold from his back.

Gillman almost had something locked but Haynes was able to slam out of it. When the action hit the mat,

Gillman didn't break the hold attempt but Haynes got the arm bar to win. This was a great match and both

men looked very good for it being their first ever bout. Haynes showed he has tremendous wrestling ability

(he wore wrestling shoes) and a good submission game. Gillman showed he was able to absorb punishment

while staying calm working off his back.
