IFC Fight Night 1 Review

ISLAND FC, Fight Organization, New York
Company profile by

 This was a parallel event with Island FC 9, with 3 title fights and the "who is who" of MMA present in the Hayashi's Lounge, a venue filled with 2000 roaring fans and a night filled wih emotions and drama...10 fights 8 finishes,lets break it down for you:



185lbs TITLE Rick James vs Jonny Bones Junior Rick controlled the clinch briliantly ,very strong he keept the fight in the clinch and made Bones trade with him they were both landing, but the elbows from Rick were the ones causing the most damage,opening a gash over Bones eye ,it looked grossome, and the fight was stoped by the doctor with 3 sec left in round 2.... 



265+lbs TITLE (KO of the Night) Afonso Cabral vs Billy Joe Afonso is an absolutly beast,the promotion super-heavyweight champ and p4p king, made a statement with this win....Billy didnt even know what happend it was fast and furious,imagine a 300lbs gorila grabing someone clinching your head with the left hand and unload ,big right upercuts....thats what hapend here....the insurance police on the 265+lbs division went considerably up with the way Cabral is finishing hes oponents...well done 1st round KO 

205lbs TITLE (Submission of the Night) Martyn Ford vs 
Frank Karlsson This one was quick,41 sec, the fight started has expected with Karlson starting well with a few punches right on the button ,Ford realizing that he had no business with Karlson on hes feet, he went for the take down,got it and to be honest he was a bit fortunate ,on the way they landed,stright into side control,(wrestlers paradise)isolated an arm ,squeezed and ...nite nite for Karlson

Peter Potter vs Octavion Prompethius This was a battle fought on the clinch by 2 chez players ,very good fight with none of this undefeated fighters wanting to loose and they took it for a decision where Potter won rightfully so, in my eyes the acuracy from potter made the diference....Octavion is still a great fighter and we will ear from him soon 

(Fight of the Night) Mark Wahlberg vs Julian Day You cant hit what you cant see ,Mark was ilusive in defence and lethal in attack 90 + % shoot acuracy and 90 + % striking defense,he took Day to school until that head kick follow by the upercut put Day to rest ,midway trough the 2nd round.

Herminio Herculano vs Alex Mack Herminio Muay Thai clinch is something else is so strong and so tenacious with that clinch,once he gets you oponents must feel like they stuck on moving sand ,the more they fight to get loose, they get careless with defence and he takes advantage of it like no one else....after beating Alex up for 3 min the ref saw enough and stoped the fight ,good 1st round TKO 

Alexander Vermeer vs Jesus Icon For me this one deserved the fight of the night award Vermeer put up on a performance,backing up hes talk for a title shot....he looked determined to finish the fight early and didnt loose any time with counters ,he just went for it ,clinched ,trow some creative strikes and dirty boxed hes way trough to victory...very impressive and this KO win earn him the title shot he craved..."now its back to the gym, and try to get that belt".....

Rudy Mar Binay vs Sid Vicious Binay looked like a man possessed, i mean it was like watching sex ofender geting released into a convent, and found himself closed in a room with an half naked hot nun,hes going to be on that till he gets it, the same way Binay was on that submission quest till he got it...by the way well executed americana 

Issumatar Tariaksuq vs Robbie Rockhold I never seen someone trying so many times to take someone down without success 24-0...damm...he was going for it ,in a dumb way of course, and more then the leg kicks, what caused the most damage,in my opinion,was the body kicks ,Rockhold looked winded,brilint game plan credit to the manager,tactics won the fight for the underdog, The Arctic Frost did came to play on this one Issumata copletly frose Rockhold ,i the end he definitly deserved the unanimous decision win.

Kingsley Babajide vs Obat Timur #TAKEDOWN#SUBMISSION#27SEC

Great event as allways we try to bring to you the best fights very successfull night for the promotion with records being broke....Myself, JJ, and Park's wich you Peace and Love
