Shogun MMA’s first event was full of excitement, quick, beautiful finishes! Here is what happened during the event;

First Bout

Kyle Gillean (2-0-0) vs. Bruce Lee (1-0-0)

Bruce Lee went in for a quick takedown..it was a mistake for sure though. Kyle was able to get himself in position to work from the bottom and capitalized on Bruce’s mistake. This one ended with Bruce’s arm being extended with an armbar in the 1st round 0:28 seconds.
Victor: Kyle Gillean

Second Bout

Jaun Barrantes (1-0-0) vs. Kung Lao (0-1-0)

Jaun was persistently trying to get this one to the ground the whole fight, and Kung Lao defended takedown attempts throughout the whole first round. Kung was landing punches and kicks the whole time, luckily Jaun has a tough chin that held up during the fight. All it took was one takedown and one sub attempt to end this one. This ends in Jaun being submitted via Kimura in 57 seconds of the second round
Victor: Jaun Barrantes

Third Bout

Carlos Verona (0-0-0) vs. Henry Cruz (3-1-0)

Carlos made his debut in this first event for Shogun MMA and made his stamp on the 170 lb. weight class with a swift victory over Henry Cruz. Henry was looking to keep this fight standing, but Verona was having none of it. Verona scored the takedown early in the first round and submitted Cruz in 39 seconds with a slick looking Kimura.
Victor: Carlos Verona

Fourth Bout

Magnus Barfot (0-0-0) vs. Boris Mattson (2-1-0)

Another contender Magnus Barfot making his debut fight for Shogun MMA. Barfot didn’t disappoint his fans in this one, completely dominating the standup game. An early clinch from Barfot allowed him to work his dirty boxing and crisp elbows wearing down his opponent before unleashing the uppercut that put Mattson down for the count early in the first. Victory came by way of Knockout 1:57 of the first round.
Victor: Magnus Barfot

Fifth Bout

Mike Nickoson (0-0-0) vs. Victor Gillean (1-0-0)

Mike makes his debut for Shogun MMA today, while Victor…maybe a little over confident came in at a little less than 100% energy. It surely didn’t help his cause as Mike was able to keep the fight standing for a majority of the fight. Mike worked his standup and was able to take this one with a Unanimous Decision from the judges
Victor: Mike Nickoson

Sixth Bout

Jun Lee (0-1-0) vs. Sherlock Holmes (0-0-0)

Sherlock made his way to the octagon for his first pro fight. A great 1st round of action as Holmes was making the most of his Muay Thai clinch landing numerous knees to the head of Jun Lee, even cutting him. Unfortunately his was unable to solve the mystery of this one as Jun Lee secures a takedown and after multiple submission attempts he clasps down on the Americana choke. Sherlock showed no signs of giving up though as the ref had to end the fight without him tapping. Way of victory was Americana choke 3:54 of the first round. Will there be a rematch?
Victor: Jun Lee

Seventh Bout

Tom Segura (1-0-0) vs. Jack Daniels (0-0-0)

Jack Daniels made his debut in the pro fighting world today. These fighters were exchanging blows for first moments of the fight. Segura had enough of the standup game, and decided it was time to take it to the mat. It was a great decision as he quickly ended up in a dominant position and submitted Jack Daniels via Kimura submission.
Victor: Tom Segura

Eighth Bout

Bubba Jones (2-0-0) vs Len Tendo (2-3-0)

Tendo walked into this fight jamming to si tu estuvieras aqui, but both of these fighters seemed to agree to keep this one standing. An early cut due to a head kick hurt Bubba Jones, but he didn’t seem phased for too long. Bubba knocked Tendo down and told him to stand back up, then completely crushed him with an overhand right. Tendo’s eyes rolled back as this one was all over 52 seconds into round 1.
Victor: Bubba Jones

Co-Main Event

John Kyler (1-0-0) vs. Shaun Anderson (1-0-0)

Anderson took this one to the ground right off the bat, maybe it was his wrestling background that made him do it. Kyler made him pay for the takedown by working his submission game. Anderson avoided a triangle but gave up his neck and couldn’t get out of the Guillotine choke that eventually ended this one 45 seconds into the 1st round.
Victor: John Kyler

Main Event

Danny Nejman (5-1-0) vs. Matheus Dias (3-1-0)

An exchange of early blows from Nejman seemed to have made Dias want to take this one to the ground. He attempted takedowns from standing, and in the clinch but Nejman wasn’t having any of it. Dias started to get winded and left his guard down for a second, and Nejman capitalized on this opportunity landing a two punch combo ending with Dias crumpled up on the mat. Nejman becomes the first title holder in Shogun MMA! Will he continue his dominance or will he be dethroned by new challengers that will be awaiting their turn at the belt?
Victor: Danny Nejman
