Titan Fighting Championship 2 Results "Hostile Takeover"
Maner Conference Center Sunflower Ballroom Topeka, Kansas
- Special Thanks go out to Anthony J. Sullivan for the following recap \ results:
The event was held in a small hotel ballroom that was nearly full - about 1,000 fans. Not quite what was expected - Too many one sided fights. Unfortunately, a problem that needed to be addressed at this show is one that plagues many promotions - too many people standing in front of the cage - which meant everyone had to stand up to see the action, which tends to lead to other problems. Could have just been an off night - let's hope that TFC 3 addresses this problem.
Jerrod Duncan wins by submission (choke) at 4:09 of the first round over Jeff Bush
Duncan controlled most of the
bout with his take downs and his superior striking. Ryan Wright wins by submission (rear naked choke) at 3:00 of the first round over Courtney Spinks Wright (Kansas City, MO) evens his amateur record at 1-1 while Spinks amateur record falls to 1-2. Spinks opened with a punch that rocked Wright but Wright answered that with a huge slam (HUGE). Spinks held him in a guillotine choke until he tired which allowed Wright to ground 'n pound till he secured the choke.
Fight 3 - Pro Heavyweight Bout (3x5min) Billy Conwell wins by first round submission (strikes) over Travis Kulhavy The physically impressive Conwell of Wellington, KS went to 2-0 after destroying Kulhavy, who is now 0-3, in under a minute. Conwell took Travis down with ease and then held him in a half nelson side mount move. He then pounded him with one hand until the tap. Conwell looked golden in his first outing when he knocked out Ryan McClain in Tulsa but it is hard to tell if he has improved because Kulhavy had no business being in there. Conwell looks like a larger Jeff Monson without the tattoos.
Fight 4 - Pro Middleweight Bout (3x5min) Jack Hodge wins by first round submission (rear naked choke) over Clinton Bonds Hodge, who replaced Joe Heabener, gets his first win (now 1-2). Bonds, of Ft. Smith, Ark, keeps his record perfect at 0-4 in MMA. Bonds is also a pro boxer with a record of 2-5, 2 KOs - Surprisingly, he won his last boxing bout on 5/6/06 in Oklahoma. Bonds should seriously consider retiring or taking a few years off to train before resuming his career in the fight game. And not to be mean spirited but as an observation, this fight was an absolute joke as Hodge slammed him, landed a few blows, then got a weak looking choke and
Bonds tapped. Shane Waits wins by first round TKO over Larry Payne Tulsa Team Extreme fighter Waits improves his record to 2-0 by beating local Topeka, KS fighter Payne who evens his record at 1-1. This was the most equally matched fight but Waits was able to take control and secure the win with his superior ground game. The finish came as Payne gave up his back and Waits
decided to throw punches. Daniel Sullivan wins by first round submission (rear naked choke) over Dustin Phillips Sullivan improves to 2-1 while Phillips goes to 1-1. Both came out very aggressively with neither taking
control until Sullivan got the
better of a scramble, reversed him and secured the choke. LC Davis wins by first round submission (strikes) over Ace Anderson Davis, the crowd favorite (as in everyone was rooting for him), took his pro record to 2-0 (he is 3-0 as an amateur) with a win over Muay Thai Kickboxer Anderson who now has a MMA record of 2-4. Ace came in
with a superman punch, then
did what he always does when he is off his feet, nothing. Eric Singer wins by first round TKO over Chris Belshe This was evenly matched. They both locked up in a clinch and worked knees. Belshe took the mount but lost it in a reversal. Singer tried forever to secure a rear naked choke but gave up and pounded him until the referee stepped in.
Fight 9 - Pro Welterweight Bout (3x5min) Derrick Xayvonagsa wins by second round TKO over Bobby Martin It was clear this was an upset as the announcer stated Martin was a former resident of Topeka. Martin tried to take him down but Derrick took the mount and landed many blows as Martin tried his best to get a triangle choke. Martin then got the reversal and did nothing until the bell rang for the second. The second started as Derrick got the takedown and landed punches for what seemed like forever until the referee stopped it.
Fight 10 - Main Event: Pro Welterweight Bout (3x5min) Bobby Voelker wins by first round TKO over Johnathan Richmond Voelker ups his record to 3-1 (he has a 10-0 amateur record). Richmond was a replacement for Clarence Bowens. They clinched up with Richmond getting the takedown but Voelker reversed it, took the mount and
landed punches until the ref
stepped in.
