Goodman Vs Stan and Ford vs Ewing

Editorial by Sixty Nine

 At Strike! MMA 3 last night we had 2 Fireballer camp fights happening. Sub Stan VS Milton Goodman, and Oliver Ewing vs Kareem Ford. 

After Goodman was thoroughly embarrassed by a quick submission in their first fight, Goodman was out for revenge. He trained up his striking, and intended to use it. But he might have wanted to train up his takedown defense first, as Stan took him down with the first move of the fight. Neither of them did much though, and Stan ended up taking the round. Goodman landed 2 strikes in round 2 before being taken down again, including a spinning back fist, but this time those 2 strikes led Goodman to win the round, because Stan took a nap for 5 minutes while on top. Going into a decisive round 3, both fighters wanted to dominate the round. Goodman landed a few strikes, then when they went to the ground worked some ground and pound. He ended up getting the decision but it was an awful fight, and likely neither of these fighters will survive
