OOFights 22 Manassas Park VA 12-1-12


Great night of fights and a fantastic event in Manassas Park, VA.  12 bouts delivered non stop action.

Operation Octagon brought their A game as always and the Manassas Park Community Center was buzzing with excitement. The first five matches flew by with exciting first round finishes, but the excitement didn't stop there. In the sixth bout Ardit Hysa used his wrestling to control most of the bout, but he never stalled the action and Matt Dotson never quit trying to return fire.

In the 8th bout, Virginia state champion wrestler Brett Jenkins dominated the first two rounds, but slowed down in the third and got careless. Matt Ferguson having weathered almost six minutes of offense was able to lock in the choke and the win at the beginning of the third round. Disciple MMA's rising star, Anthony Cordero landed a devastating KO of Daniel Moreno early in the first round, followed by a high kick knock out from Scott Noble to Francis Grant in the first round of the next bout.

In the first of two championship matches Josh Aguero weathered an opening flurry from Michael Serrano before getthing the match to the mat and winning by first round rear naked choke. In the main event for the Middleweight Title Shurron Thompson looked devastating defeating Eric Kronstadt by first round TKO. Kronstadt was dropped twice in the round, but kept his composure and fended off Thompson until he could get back to his feet. The third time Thompson swarmed the dazed challeger and the ref stepped in to stop the fight.
