Instead of gripping Pete Spratt's left leg on his single-leg takedown attempt, Jason

Von Flue stumbled face-first into Spratt's step-back right-handed uppercut

knockout blow, which folded Von Flue 1 minute 10 seconds into the main event of

Ultimate Warrior Challenge-INVASION -- last night's nine-card Mixed Martial Arts

cage-style event at George Mason University's Patriot Center.

"On a couple of his shot attempts, he was ducking under my punches," said Spratt, a 5-foot-9 169-pounder,

who bounced back after a controversial loss to Ryan Ford. "I thought the next time he shoots, I'm going to

throw low and that's what I did. I caught him on the throat and stopped the blood-flow to the brain."

 

Spratt (20-11) dominated the fight from the start, taking control on a few erratic right hooks during an early

flurry. He followed a left roundhouse kick with several devastating body shots that sent Von Flue (12-9-1)

back-pedaling and to the hexagon's canvas three times within the first three minutes.

 

"I saw the fear and smelled blood and went for the finish," Spratt said.

 

The event, promoted as the biggest ever MMA event here, drew 4,828 fans and featured a mix of top fighters

from organizations such as UFC, Pride, IFL and Bodog as well as locals from the region's top gyms.
