Legacy 10 Results

Lightweight Main Event
Pat Audinwood (11-2-1) SUB RD 3 (Armbar) Justin Reiswerg (4-2)
Time of Submission: 3:33 RD 3

The lasting image of the Legacy 10 card will be Justin Reiswerg’s toughness.  After suffering a severe ankle injury as a result of a checked kick that would have forced a lesser man to quit Reiswerg gutted it out.  Unfortunately, the injury limited Reiswerg considerably and Audinwood was able to dictate the pace of the fight as a result.  The end came in pretty impressive fashion as Audinwood was able to deftly catch Reiswerg in a somewhat inverted armbar that after some movement on the ground forced Resiwerg to tap.  Needless to say, it was a pretty entertaining scrap.

Middleweight Co-Main Event
Gerald Harris (20-4) UD Eric “Big Head” Davila (20-12)
Scores: 29-28, 29-28, 29-28

Nothing really to say about this fight as it was as exciting as watching paint dry.  Gerald Harris is a frustrating fighter to watch.  On one hand he has all the tools to be champion in MMA, but the dude sticks to wrestling so much that the rest of his game is pretty weak.  Against Eric Davila, a fighter who is tough but on a lower talent level, Harris fought scared.  Granted, this fight was put together a mere 24 hours ago but Harris seemed like he was scared to engage Davila.  The result was a fight that simply featured a few highlight reel slams from Harris and little else.  The only real sustained action was at the end of the third round when Davila had Harris rocked and hurt but for some reason was unable to turn up the jets to get Harris out of there.

Lightweight Fight
Rey Trujillo (10-6) KO RD (Superman Punch) Munil Adriano (14-8)
Time of Knockout: 0:24 RD 1

Inarguably Rey Trujillo may have locked up “KO of the Year” with spectacular one-punch Superman punch knockout of Brazilian Munil Adriano.  It was as picture-perfect as you could ever hope to see a knockout and you have to now view Trujillo seriously now.

Welterweight Fight
Chidi Njokuani (6-3) TKO RD 1 (Knee Strikes) Jonathan Harris (6-2)
Time of Stoppage: 1:54 RD 1

There is nothing that sums up Chidi Njokuani’s victory over Jonathan Harris other than the word, “Wow!”  Jonathan Harris is as strong as a bull, and just as mean.  However, Chidi, younger brother of UFC fighter Anthony Njokuani, was more than up for the challenge.  As Harris rushed in to close the difference Njokuani was able to deftly keep up a relentless assault via knee strikes while in the clinch.  The barrage of sharp knees paid off as one picture perfect strike to Harris’ ribs but the hometown fighter down to the mat where Njokuani was able to finish the fight.

Bantamweight Fight
Carson Beebe (10-1) vs. Tim Snyder (12-9-1)
Scores: 30-27, 30-27, 30-27

Heading into this fight I admit that I wasn’t sold on Beebe.  Yeah, I knew he could wrestle and I knew there was some buzz behind the kid from Chicago but I just wasn’t sold.  However, after thoroughly dominating Tim Snyder in the most dominate of fashions I am inclined to change my mind.  Sure, there are a number of things he has to work on (chief among them is diversifying his game plan) but he does appear to be a fighter with a very bright future in the sport.

Welterweight Fight
Alex Morono (4-1) TKO RD 1(Strikes) Rashon Lewis (2-2)
Time: 4:02 RD 1

For nearly three minutes of the opening round it appeared that Rashon Lewis was the better fighter.  Despite only being in the sport for two years Lewis looked calm and collected while Morono exhibited so much nervous energy that I thought he would be gassed out before the end of the round.  However, Morono’s wild-ass style would pay dividends as he clipped Lewis with a wild hook that put him on wobbly legs.  Morono’s follow up flurry was enough for the referee to call a stop to the fight.
