2 Title Vacancy BoutsOur gym has been incredible busy the past few days, but we got 2 title shots. Again for Gabe, and one for Danielsson. Gabe refuses to get off his vegan diet after finding a newfound love for animals, and Danielsson can't help but sleep around--Seriously this guy needs to stop hitting up colleges and go train!
They both take place at the same weekend, while Gabe stays in Sweden and Danielsson has to head to Canada this time with me in Manitoba. Never been there in my life, but goddamn the snow keeps piling up! Kevin and Carl will be Gabe's corners and send me the result and feedback from Gabe's fight while I, alongside Kevin head to Canada with Sam.
JSCRAP - BW - Championship Bout - Gabe ANDERSSON vs. Dusty RILEYA 24 year old American newcomer that I thought we could match up well against. He has a wrestling background, but Andersson has really good Judo and Sambo training to help counter. I was a long, drawn out affair with great action but Gabe got roughed up a lot. Cuts and bruises, he was getting struck a lot and failed to capitalize on submissions like he has the ability to do. It ended up going to a decision from what Kevin sent me and the result? ...Dusty Riley wins by Unanimous Decision
Oh fuck.ABC - FLY - Championship Bout - Sam DANIELSSON vs. Dong Wan SONG
We ended up getting the fighter I was most afraid of in the division, a fighter that is definitely going up to Preliator and potentially the EFC. Sporting a record of 17-9 many doubted Danielsson has much of a chance here--- I just hope our boy can pull through!
What in the fuck??? Song is insanely acrobatic and performing stunts in the cage that I never thought were possible. Striking at Danielsson from near impossible angles! Luckily Sammy boy fakes a take down attempt and drops the bastard to the mat with a left hook. Danielsson rushed Song and started to pummel him. "Good work Sam!" I was shouting, this will be the toughest of challenges. Shots to the ribs and elbows to the thighs, Sammy boy dominated.
The foreign fuck is still doing some spinning shit that I had never observed, forcing Danielsson to take the defensively. That's generally hot the fight went for the next few rounds, as he continues to pull wack stuff out on Danielsson. Sammy boy took a while to get warmed up to the rhythm but by now it may be too late!
Truthfully? Even though Song got off these magnificent strikes and well-timed axe kicks ... Danielsson stayed in textbook form and was starting to pick him apart. Dong Wan got taken to the mat awkwardly after being put off balance by a kick from Danielsson, but the bell saves him.
Dong Wan starts off the final round with a cartwheeling motion, driving he back of his foot against Danielsson's face--But Sammy boy blocks it partially to avoid major damage. What the fuck, is this gymnastics or MMA? They both feel each other out, until Song links an upper cut and hook together. However Sam performs an amazing double leg takedown to drop Song to the mat and the bout ends! To a decision!
Dong Wan "Wag the Dong" Song wins by Split Decision
I'm fuming. Danielsson clearly won 3 of those 5 rounds in my eyes, yet his acrobatics must have impressed the judges that much. I want to see a re-match some day but for now? We have one more fight left on our contract with ABC and we need to win or else we'll be in trouble!
