A great night Saturday at the Clash of Warriors show 'face off'. Tim Butler fought for the first time in over a year against a much larger opponent. Tim found the first round a little tricky getting his timing right in a mainly stand up round against the Polish fighter, but never looked in any serious trouble, nearly finishing with an arm-bar at one point.

The second round was much different with Tim taking  Zlotnicki down from the start and totally controlling the fight for the entire round, mounting twice and finishing just as strong as the beginning of the fight.

There was some confussion after this as the judges scored… Read More

A mixed night of emotions on Saturday - Ben Rose fought a different opponent (Paul Barton) from Leicester Shoot and won impressively over two rounds by decision. Ben weathered the storm early in the clinch against Barton, and although was taken down a few times, got back easily using the cage. Both traded well but towards the end of the first round Ben started to take the advantage. The second round was all Rose who took apart Barton with strong leg and body kicks and nearly knocked him out in the final seconds with the trade mark overhand right.
