Milwaukie MMA "First Friday Fights" - August 7th, 2009

Milwaukie Elks Lodge - Milwaukie, Oregon

Bill Bradley, Rex Payne, and the entire Alive MMA crew hosted their 2nd "First Friday Fights" MMA show Friday, Aug 7th to a packed house at the Elks Lodge in Milwaukie, just minutes from Downtown Portland. Lots of action with 10 amateur MMA fights, a women's grappling bout, and a special Grappling Challenge with UFC-bound Mike Pierce acting as the host taking on all comers. Pierce, who just recently signed a 4 fight deal with the UFC, was not submitted by pro fighters Aaron Stark, Matt Horwich, and John Heath, nor by amateur fighter John Diggans.

(Matt Horwich will take on all comers at the next Friday Night Fights show in September with $200 going to whoever can tap him out.)

 

 The Main Event featured the First Friday Fights Heavyweight Championship and was won by Premier Martial Arts' Jason Pittman when a cut over opponent Kile Beck's eye caused Ref Dave Hagen to halt the action and the ringside doctor to subsequently stop the fight. A tough loss for Alive MMA's Beck but the safety of the fighter always comes first and in this case it was most definitely warranted. Be on the lookout for the newly crowned champ Pittman to continue his journey up the ranks of Northwest Heavyweights. The consensus fight of the night was a three round war between Alive MMA's Chris Fish and an Independent Teddy Butcher, the only bout to go to judges scorecards. A unanimous decision went to Fish but this was a close one throughout and showed the mettle and heart of both fighters.

 

The next First Friday Fights event is Friday, September 4th, again at the Milwaukie Elks Lodge. Based on the success of the promotion's first two shows, get your tickets early as it'll be a sell-out. Visit alivemma.com for more info.
