12/05/08 www.mmaweekly.com Brad Pickett def. Paul Reed via Decision Brad Pickett and Paul Reed had a war to remember with both fighters landing with punches and working their takedowns. Reed proved to have a snappy, powerful jab and managed to try it out on Pickett several times during the bout, forcing his head back regularly. Pickett ultimately edged ahead, though, having scored with a big flying knee and a lovely feign jab with a big hook on the end, both finding home where they needed to. “After about 15 seconds of having landed the knee, he turned round to me and said, ‘Good shot, acknowledging that I had caught him good and proper,'” commented the Team Titan fighter. He added for good measure, “I seem to make a war with everyone. If I fight a sub guy, I take them down. If I fight a striker, I stand and trade. I don't know what it is, but I seem to fight people at their game regularly.” So what next for Pickett? He needs to iron out a few things at the moment, but is adamant that we will see him somewhere soon on a good show, although his motivation is the belt, and he wants to continue down that road until he gets his chance again. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 12/05/08 www.mmaweekly.com Popek Rak def. Kev Simms via TKO (Strikes) at 1:12, R1 Simms knew that if he pushed the fight into the second round, he would be able to topple the Polish giant by pushing his cardio. He never got the chance, having fallen foul to a series of strikes that left the referee no option but to step in and call halt. “He caught me with a big hook that landed flush,” said the Gorilla Academy fighter after the event. “I can still feel it now, and although we went down, I thought I could handle him. But next thing I know, I see a black T-shirt stepping in and I realize that the ref stopped it.” Indeed, having taken the brunt of his opponent's offense on the chin, Simms scrambled to engage, but found himself planted on his back with his opponent throwing heavy leather. Rak had smelt the blood and was just hammering away like a trip hammer. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 19/04/08 LUCASZ SUPINSKI Vs DAVE CHANDLER Lucasz Supinski won his debut professional fight at Full Contact Fightnight 3 in Portsmouth.

Traditionally, we have seen Santana come into a fight looking spectacular for the first round, but blowing quite hard for the remaining rounds. He has clearly addressed this element of his game as he continually set the pace against his opponent. Johnson faired well in avoiding submission danger throughout the rounds and he didn't appear to be taking too much damage with the strikes either. But the key deciding factors of Santana's victory were his ability to continually record the takedowns and to control position on the ground. By the time the third stanza rolled into view, it was apparent that Johnson would need to stop the fight in order to win, but just never found his opening to do so. Santana makes a welcome addition to the Cage Rage roster. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 09/03/08 MMAWEEKLY.COM Jake Bostwick Vs John Phillips Jake Bostwick started his match aggressively with a big takedown into side control following a low kick on opponent John Phillips and was controlling the pace of the fight well. As soon as Phillips was able to get back up to his feet, Bostwick would use his knee's effectively from the clinch before bringing him down again. It wasn't until Phillips landed a big right to put Bostwick down, that the tide of the fight changed and Bostwick found himself in survival mode. Sensing that he had registered pain on his opponent, Phillips started to unleash a heavy handed ground and pound attack forcing the referee to halt the bout amid controversy of a possible strike to the throat. It was difficult to tell how clear the shot to the throat was, but in any case it was clearly unintentional. Some may feel that a time out may have been in order and others may say that the stoppage was just, but in any case, Bostwick was already hurt from the previous standing exchange and looked to be in trouble leading up to the stoppage. Both were good sports afterwards though and there was no animosity. Phillips records the win via Ground and Pound. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 01/03/2008 Brad "One Punch" Pickett Vs Frendric Fernandez Team Titan's Brad "One Punch" Pickett a K1, Bodog and former Cage Rage British featherweight Champion will face off against Frederic Fernandez at FX3 FightNight 7 on March 15th 2008.
