Oh what a night!

Hello fight fans sorry for the wait on the blog I have been very very busy. Also I am sorry to say I was only able to get through a few of the interviews of the fighters so I would like to Welcome you to In The Octagon. Tonight you will hear from some of the fighters that toke place in Rumble at the Roseland 58. So fight fans. IT IS TIME TO RUMBLE!

To start the eventful we go to the 125 weight. We have Alex Corrales VS Marc Harris. It would only take 58 Seconds for Alex Corrales to get in the guillotine and make Marc Harris tap. After his fight I had the chance to talk to him.

"Great win tonight to start off you got in head lock, explain how that happened?"

"Well he shot on me, and I was able to get under his neck. I have been working on the five finger choke it is a little different then a guillotine. You just stick your hand in there and charnk on it, and I got lucky and was able to land it."

"How does it feel to be 2-1?"


"Feels great"


That would end it for me and Alex. He ends the night 2-1 so Congrats to Alex! The next fight would be in the 145 weight fight between Kevin Walker VS Dlyan Atinson. This fight would only go till the second round when Dlyan would get on the back of Kevin and get him in a Rear Naked Choke. That would make Dlyan victorious and I got to catch up with him after the fight.

"You came in this fight short handed you only just found out that you were fighting just yesterday. What came to your mind when you were told your were fighting?"


"Oh shit am I going to lose? ya he was 3-0 and I was 3-0. I could not say he was better then me at that time was a little nerves but I fight to beat the number 1's every day."

"Came in the first round and you guys were close. But in the second round you got in that Rear Naked Choke explain what happened at that moment?"

" I was cutting the angle a Little more because his hips were coming forward every time I went for a leg kick. So I curled toward him. When I tied wasted him he went for a knee bar it looked like. But kinda baled out of it. And left his back wide open. And I jumped on and got the hoke."


That would end it for me and Dlyan. I hope to see him soon at the Roseland. The next fight would be in the 205 weight class. Were I saw Peter New VS Joshua Ryan. It would only take 52 seconds to the fight. And what a finish it was! Peter New would get on the ground with Joshua an got him in to arm bar. Peter New would be your winner!

The Next fight would take place in the 175 weight division. We would see Freddie Bailey VS Rod Jaques. It would come down to a decsion and it was a tie between Freddy and Rod.

The next fight would take us to the 135 weight division were Journy Newson would fight again Jeff Alder. And this one would come down to the wire. With only 1:29 seconds left Journey would force Jeff Alden to tap after a rear naked choke by Journey.

The next fight would be in the 155 weight. It would be Peter Ramsden VS Nate Sarate. It would end in a Unamisuos Desion and the winner was Nate Sarate!

So to start the eventful title fights off it would be for the Middle weight Title bought. It would be John Bartlett VS Josh Hitsman. This fight would would go in to the second round when the umpire had to stop the fight and give ,due to strikes, John Bartlett is your new MIDDLE WEIGHT CHAMPION!!!!

The next fight would be in the Welterwieght Championship with the holder of the Belt Jason Novelli faced off against Ben Elgi. This fight would take three rounds to finish the fight but it would come down to a Rear Naked Choke by Ben Egli that would end it. Your New WelterWeight Champion, By a Rear Naked Choke, BEN EGLI!

Your next title fight of the night would be for the Heavy Weight Championship belt. The current holder of the belt is Damion Martindale and he will be fighting Chris DeLaRocha. Once more this fight went into the second round. Due to strikes to the body the umpire had stop the fight and the winner by Strikes to the boody CHRIS DELAROCHA!!

Our main and final fight of the night is for the Bantamwieght Championship it is Tyler Fryman VS Auston Warner. This fight would go down to the wire. They would go to the Judges Cards. And by Unanimous Decision your Winner and new BANTAMWIEGHT CHAMPION IS......... AUSTON WARNER!! That would end the night for me. The next fight night will be in July 16. Thanks for reading till next time fights I am Jacob signing out.


And special thanks to Kevin Keeney and the FCFF!

Next Fight Night is on July 16!

A night to remember.

On April 23, the FCFF had there monthly fight night at the Roseland. And I had the chance to interview some of the fighters. So it is time to RUMBLE!!!!!!!!!!!

To start the night off it was Stephone Taylor VS Patrich Ryen. Patrick Ryen would win after Stephon did not meet the bell because of a foot injury. The Next fight would be Shawn Smith and Dean Walters. Dean Walters would win with a rear naked choke in the third round. I had the chance to talk to Dean and here's what went down.

"Great win tonight, Are hoping to go for the Belt?"

"It will be down the road I will like to go for a title it would be a little while for I just got back to getting in fit."

"How long has been since you have fought?"

"It has been five years."


I hope to see him again at the Roseland. The next fight toke place in the 145 weight and it was Coby Barns VS Kevin Walker. Kevin Walker would win in a 25 SEC tapout in the first round. The next fight would be Sean Soliz VS Zane Behrend. By split decision Sean Soliz would win I had the chance to talk to him after words.

"Great fight tonight. In the second round you started throwing some punches explain what happen."


"Well when I got on bottom he was tying up my wrist I could not do much I thought I would come out and try a little stand up type in the second and see if I could have any luck on my feet."

That would end it for me and Sean and I know he will be back. I will make this short the other winners of tonight were Billy Denney, Nathan Sarate, Kyle Ellsworth, Jesse Apodaca, Bryne Torres, and last Zac Miller.

But what was the fight of the night was a super heavey weight battle between Josh"Big Country"McPherson and Ryan Harrington. There is a weight difference between these two fighters. Big Country is coming up from the heavy weight to the super weight. And I knew from the beginning that Ryan had this won. Ryan weighs at a weight that Josh could not bring down. But Josh to my surprise held in till the final bell. At the end it came down to a unanimous decsion Ryan Harrington is your new FCFF Super Heavey Weight CHAMPION!

Next fight night for the FCFF is on May 21 I will have more for that night later. I am Jacob singing out. Until next time fight fans this is IN THE OCTAGON!

Sorry about the wait.

Sorry fans about the wait. But lets jump in to it! THIS IS IN THE OCTAGON!! In downtown Portland was the Rumble at the Roseland 55 and I got to see it. There were three belt fights that night and I got to see them lets see how they did. To start off the title fights that night were the Fly weight Championship between Shuan Nance and John Heilman. Shuan Nance would beat John in a TKO in the second round by strikes to the gut and ribs. Shuan Nance was declared the winner of the Fly wieght Belt that night. The next Belt fight was Jeremy Jones against Chris Perrin. Chris would take Jeremy down and that would end right there. Jeremy would tap, after Chris got a anaconda choke hold on him. And the fight of the night was for the Light weight belt between Jake Morris and Clint Patterson. Jakes weight would be over the weight requirement, so if Jake won he would not get the belt but if Clint won he would get the belt. I will say this now it was over from the begining. I think for Jake, who brang his "A" game to the fight, showed great potentional. It came down to the final descion and the winner is........... Jake Morris! That would end the night. Now my fight of the night would be the fourth fight of the night when Josh McPherson, who is known to start the fight off with the kick to the head, would go up against Nick Butler. In only six seconds it was over with a left leg hook. Josh would knock Jake out in only six seconds. That is my fight of the night. Next blog will come to you next week. See you then.

Welcome.

My name is Jacob Wolbaum and well this is ITO also known as "In the Octagon.". I am starting this blog for the MMA fans and the UFC fans that are in the PDX Area. This blog will be posted every Friday but for today it will be on Wednesday.

The big next fight for the UFC is on the 22 of the January. It is the "Fight for the troops." The main fight for that night will be Even Dunham VS Melvin Guillard. My pick for the match up will be the rookie (Compared to Melvine) Even Dunham. I think that Even is a young fighter that has a better chance at beating the 44-9-3 Melvin Guillard. Even is a inch taller but weights in the same at 155 each. The match will be a great one so lets hope that Even will win.
