Fresh from the event, here are the results from last night’s Renegades amateur show at the Verizon Wireless Theater in downtown Houston:
Carlos Molina (Bushi Ban) d. Carlos Long (Woodlands MMA): 1:10 R1 TKO
Ira Boyd (Independent) d. Kirk Gibson (Mohler JJ): 1:40 R2 TKO, question of closed fists during finishing flurry according to judge closest to the action.
Rene Rendon (Grappler’s Lair) d. Jesse Vasquez (Bushi Ban): Decision
Omar Limon (Team Pound) d. Ed Rhue (Lonestar JJ): Decision
Adam Suave (Vasquez Academy) d. Cody Rich (Bushi Ban): TKO Cut, 1:28 R3. Rich was made to wipe off with a towel between R1 and R2 due to the apparent use of lubrication on the body.
Fernando Rodriguez (DBS Fight Team) d. Kanrock (Patumwadee Gym): Decision
Vince Libardi (TX Powerhouse) Sam Greenfield (Lonestar JJ): Decision
Aniel Cortez (Team Pound) d. Zulfi Ahmed (Bushi Ban): 2:57 R1 TKO. Heated controversy due to an early incorrect stop by ref Tom Dinklage who was confused by the 10-second knock. Ahmed was mounted and being hit repeatedly at the time. Zuhair Hillail of Bushi Ban threatened to have the 200-plus Bushi Ban crowd “tear the place down brick by brick” if Saul Soliz did not declare the match no contest. Hillail also offered to have students fight the ref. Offers from Saul Soliz for a restart of the match, however, were declined by Hillail. A number of Bushi Ban fans tossed cups of beer into the ring. Not one of the better Renegades moments.
Jason Lantrip (Patumwadee Gym) d. Frank Kirmsey (Lonestar JJ): 1:32 R1 standing guillotine
Lane Chereskin (Grapplers Lair) d. Jarrod Lewis (Woodlands MMA): Decision
Juan Garcia (Vasquez Academy) d. Sammy Nunez (Robert Villegas): 1:21 R1 guillotine from guard
Matt McAdams (TX Powerhouse) d. Chris Collins (Mohler JJ): 1:02 R2 rear naked choke
Lance Ramoth (Extreme Jiu-jitsu) d. Matt Thompson (Vasquez Academy): Decision. Ramoth shuts down Thompson’s undefeated streak by using GNP next to the fence to limit Thompson’s mobility and jam several of Thompson’s armbar and triangle attempts.
