Efficiency is doing things right; effectiveness is doing the right things              - Peter F. Drucker

I love it when I view all the fights and see that there were a lot of finishes, especially if they were finished in the first round. Do you know why I love first round finishes? No not because I think they are more exciting or because the might make for better fight ratings. No, it’s because of one thing: I am lazy as hell and love to write reviews for shorter fights, they are a lot easier. HAHA what’s up fans and fanatics of Ring of Violence.

The Stremphf coming at you with another review, this one of ROV 33. This event was seen by a sold out crowd of 7708 in Kazan Sambo Center in St. Petersburg. The event rating was a 217.93. Vit Tu won KO of the night, Sioux Sie won sub of the night, and Bostar Tyraanicao vs Koichi Kamei won fight of the night. Make sure to check that one out, as it was not on the main card, so it doesn’t get reviewed. Let’s get too it!!!

205 Ibs Title: Vit Tu def Red Belt via KO (Strikes) at 7:30 of Round 1

Vit Tu was able to make his first of what he probably hopes is many title defenses in the main event of ROV 33. This fight literally spent its entirety on the ground as both fighters were looking to submit their way to a victory. Tu was the first one to strike points as he countered Belt into a successful takedown basically after the ref said, “FIGHT”! Just after being taken down, Belt tried for a triangle but was unsuccessful. After some moving around a bit, Belt tried for another submission but had no luck. Tu then tried his first submission attempt of the night but failed in that.

The first minute ended with Tu on top missing a huge punch. Belt then tried another submission attempt to no avail just after the passing of the first minute. Things continued on this way with Tu on top trying to gain position with each fighter trying submission attempts, Belt more than Tu. Belt was eventually able to land a sweep just past the fourth minute allowing him to try and control from the top. Things pretty much stayed the same with traded submission attempts and some shots landed between the fighters. Just before the sixth minute Tu was able to reverse and get on top to Belt’s guard.

Tu was able to eventually get into mount and land some nice shots. He connected with a massive one from the dominant position and rocked Belt. Tu continued unloading bombs until just past the seventh minute, when he landed one that Belt could not come back from, ending the fight in a vicious knockout from the ground.

Tu was eight of 16 from the ground with strikes and totaled five submission attempts. Belt was six of 11 with ground strikes and tried 12 submissions. The fight received a 23 percent, although I felt there was enough action to raise that rating. Vit Tu received KO of the night honors for his knockout of his opponent. He will face Kimo Ovaska for the belt on the 4th of July while Red Belt still has a fight under offer.

205 Ibs: Kimo Ovaska def George Steele via TKO (Strikes) at 0:26 of Round 1

George steel was unable to secure the rematch with current champion Vit Tu that we all know he wanted so badly in the 205 Ibs title eliminator. In fact, he didn’t really come close. It took Kimo Ovaska only three punches to end this one. Steele tried a takedown attempt form the start, but Ovaska countered with a punch that ended up cutting Steele. After stopping another takedown, Ovaska hit with a single shot that hit Steele pretty well.

Another failed takedown attempt led to Steele getting clipped and Ovaska mounting him and dropping bombs, forcing the ref to end this one after just 26 seconds. Steele didn’t land any strikes while, as mentioned, Ovaska landed three. This fight received a well-deserved 100 percent rating. Ovaska will next take on the champion Vit Tu for the Light Heavyweight championship. George Steele will be looking to break a two fight-losing streak against Juan Tamad on June 27.

205 Ibs: Abed Nadir def Juan Tamad via Decision (Unanimous)

It was all about the win for each fighter. They didn’t care about fighting a pretty fight and putting on a show for the fans, they just wanted to grind out a win. Hey, there’s nothing wrong with fighting to get your hand raised at the end. I mean, that is the point of fighting MMA. In the end, it was Abed Nadir whose hand was triumphantly raised for all to see. The first round was won by Juan Tamad. He was able to break a clinch that Nadir put him in and score a takedown halfway through the second minute. He kept himself decently busy on the ground in order to take the points. Nadir scored a takedown to begin the second round. He tried but wasn’t able to do much and was eventually stood up by the referee. Tamad shortly after landed his own takedown, only to be reversed just before the second minute with Nadir getting on top. He tried a submission attempt before the fourth minute but wasn’t able to lock it in. The round ended with him controlling on top and taking the round on all the scorecards. Nadir landed a quick takedown in the third round and tried another submission after loosening up his opponent with strikes. Tamad eventually reversed the position but was unable to take advantage of the situation.

The referee stood them up and the round ended with some dancing and moving around. Nadir took the points in that round. The fourth round began with some shots traded. Nadir moved things into the clinch and then cut Tamad. Before the second minute, he took Tamad down and tired to control. Tamad was eventually able to reverse the position only to have Nadir reverse it back after some controlling of the position. Nadir ended the round with him on top and taking the round. The last round featured some clinching and controlling from Nadir and then eventually landing a takedown toward the end. He didn’t do too much and the referee stood them up. Tamad tried to get in some last second shots for a KO, but was unsuccessful. The judges gave the fight to Nadir 49-46. Tamad landed 12 of 26 strikes standing up and was two out of four for takedowns. Nadir was 17 of 33 for standup shots and three of 11 for takedowns. On the ground Tamad was three of 15 for strikes while Nadir was 13 of 47. The fight received a rating of 45 percent. Tamad will face George Steele next while Nadir does not have anything set up or under offer.

145 Ibs: Micheal Alvarez def Roberto Silva via KO (Head Kick) at 4:58 of Round 1

It was a battle of styles in this one as Micheal Alvarez’s stand up/takedown defense defeated Roberto Silva’s attempt at a ground game. From the first and only bell, Silva did not try anything but takedown attempts. Alvarez’s defense was top notch however. He countered his opponent a decent amount of times, including just after the first minute that knocked down and rocked Silva. It was a beautiful head kick that erased the doubt of every fan in attendance of who was going to win this fight. Silva continued to try takedowns but he had no luck. Alvarez again knocked him down just past the third minute and cut just there after. Eventually, Alvarez landed a nice quick head kick that KOed his opponent, forcing the ref to call this one just before the end of the round. The winner was four of seven for head punches and five of six for head kicks. He was five of seven for other types of kicks. The defeated did not do anything but try and bring this fight to the ground. He was zero of 11 on takedown attempts. This fight received a rating of 38 percent. Micheal Alvarez is in the process of getting his next fight set up. Roberto Silva signed with another organization proceeding this fight.

 205 Ibs: Sioux Sie def Matt Youngblood via Submission (Triangle Choke) at 1:57 of Round 1

Submission of the night winner Sioux Sie did three things in this fight: He cracked Youngblood with a nice right hand, broke the clinch that Youngblood forced him into, and then he submitted Youngblood with a nice triangle from his back. That’s it; those are the three moves he made, three moves that made him a victor in this one. All of this done in under two minutes, pretty impressive my man, pretty impressive. There isn’t too much else to say about this one. Youngblood was zero for one in all stand up strikes, one for two in clinches and one for two in takedowns. He didn’t do anything in the clinch and missed on one ground strike in this fight. All in all a quick and impressive win for Sioux Sie. The fight received a rating of 81 percent. Sioux Sie has a fight under offer while Matt Youngblood is still waiting for his next fight to be set up.
