Lets talk about groin shots, temporary paralysis and numerous submissions, as they all took place at last nights King of the Cage Connection in Lac du Flambeau WI.
Main Event:
Michael Westbrook and Nick Gaston were set to do a well matched three round battle but the fight was called short in the first minute of round one. The two were set to exchange when Gaston unleashed a vicious knee that hit way too low. A crack was heard from what could only have been Westbrook’s nut cup getting crushed by Gaston’s powerful knee. Westbrook went down and writhed in pain and could not continue to fight after five minutes of recovery. The fight was called and labeled a no contest.
Fight of the Night
David Hipke and Jimmy Zidek gained the fight of the night after a strong back and forth three round battle.The two went from standing to the ground to standing several times with no shortage of strikes thrown, submission attempts or slams to the ground. Hipke proved to be a slight winner with a split decision as he appeared to more aggressive in the ring and controlled the fight for the first two rounds. This was the fighter’s first rematch, the first fight Zidek had won.
Knockout of the Night
Caleb Nelson earned the KO of the Night against opponent Lukas Bowar. Bowar had a good first round against Nelson and the two exchanged quite a few hits. Nelson was caught off guard with a hit off the touch of the gloves and Bowar worked him to the ground. Nelson proved resilient and took over the fight working Bowar to his back and gained side control. Bowar escaped and tried to work an Achilles crush but Nelson broke free and regained side mount till the rounds end.
In round two Nelson moved in quickly and got a takedown into Bowar’s guard were Bowar tried to cinch a triangle choke. Nelson had none of it and slammed bower onto his back side and worked ground and pound until Bowar could no longer return fire. After the ref. separated the fight Bowar could not get up nor feel his legs and was taken out on a stretcher. However, Bowar was seen later and received no permanent injury. Nelson won the fight at one minute into round two.
Submission of the Night
Sub of the night goes to Dave Roberts of Team Rampage with a rear naked choke on his opponent Chris Skoglund. Roberts moved into the fight with a purpose getting Skoglund to the ground and gaining side control with a quick transition to full mount and worked some ground and pound. The two ended standing and exchanged strikes with Roberts making a strong connection with a knee to Skoglund’s head, however Skoglund was able to recover but didn’t last much longer. Roberts managed to get Skoglund on the ground again and gained his back where he saw his opening and took it. Roberts placed a perfectly performed rear naked choke on his opponent who was forced to tap out at 2:30 into round one.
