The American Sports University is the nation's only four-year college solely dedicated to preparing those students entering the sports industry! ASU is also the nation’s first university to create a mixed martial arts competition team training year around in their state of the art (50,000 square foot training center) while the students/athletes earn a BACHELOR OR MASTERS DEGREE.
The American Sports University has hired long time MMA promoter Mr. Tedd Williams as the Director of Mixed Martial Arts for the university. Intern, Mr. Williams has hired world class MMA trainer Franklin Aguirre as the Head Coach at the American Sports University….
To build the university’s MMA competition team, the college has granted 50 athletic scholarship slots for those fighters wanting to attend college & continue to build their fighting careers... These scholarship students are offered the opportunity to fight on campus every other month while gaining their four year degree.
On June 20th, 2008 MMA history was made! On Campus, 18 recruited MMA fighters fought for the chance to for a FULL-RIDE athletic scholarship to attend the American Sports University.
A full house was treated to nine action-packed MMA fights that had the fans screaming and cheering all night long……….
The first fight of the night featured Doug Dufur vs Thomas Noel. Doug wasted no time at all, going straight at Thomas & overwhelming him with punches. Being knock down right off the start, Thomas attempted to fight from his knees…. But a hungry Dufur keep it coming and referee Herb Dean stopped the bout at .46 seconds in the first round.
Then came Richard “THE KILLER” Schiller who seemed too struggled with his opponent Luis Iniguez…… but eventually Schiller was too much for Iniquez, ending the fight in the first round via an armbar submission.
Next of the card was Mike Palluzi vs Brad Ball. Brad Ball wanted to stay on his feet, while Palluzi looked for the take down immediately. Paulluzi dominated the ground game and easily was able to work the rear naked choke in for the submission at 2:13 of the first round.
Jeff Willingham vs Gilbert Fernandez was next up. Jeff caught Gilbert in the first round by via a slick armbar. Gilbert had no option but to verbally tap.
Next up, Frankie Guerrero followed with his own first round armbar submission win over Jade Delong. A very competitive fight…. Both of these two fighters looked like they could have won this fight. Back and fourth, mount, then sweep these two guys really put on a show. Just before the final seconds of the first round, Frankie was able to catch Jade in a straight armbar.
Then came the fight of the night. Daryl Montague vs Dillion Croushorn was a war. Both fighters exchanges blows in round one with Montague ending up getting hit with an legal forearm on the head that opened up a big gash that had blood pouring all over the place. Both fighters began round two drenched in blood and decided to box it out, toe-to-toe. Croushorn started to show fatigue while the bleeding Montague seemed to get stronger and stronger. Montague came in with a beautiful spinning back fist that connected perfectly sending Croushorn to the mat out cold. Montague gets the impressive knockout win at 3:40 of the second round… and what most would consider the fight of the night!
The other knockout of the night came from Paul Webb vs Richard Webb. Webb came out fast & strong connecting with a right cross as Richard Bloom fell to the mat at only 10 seconds of the opening round…. Bloom got the caboom as he tumbles to the canvas!
Daniel Adams vs Don Campbell was next on the card - And after two (five minute) rounds of great action packed fighting, Adams got the unanimous decision win.
For the main event, it seemed like every fan was on their feet…. Two undefeated fighters put it all on the line….. James Cordrey vs Larry Mays… both looked to stay on their feet, until James caught Larry with a solid right then left…. Larry trying to buy some time, and gain his senses back shot in for a double leg takedown…. James wasted no time jumping into a guillotine choke and submitting Larry at .41 seconds of the first round.
