UFR V 'New Blood'

Valmont

Did anyone go?

Despite the lack of submissions (1 guillotine)It was a brilliant event.

All of the fights were pretty good.

Best Knockout - Tim Murphy vs. Mickey Young (?) That was an awesome knockout, reminded me of early Vitor Belfort. 10 seconds!!!

Best Fight - Owen Dempsey vs. Aidan Moran(?) This fight had great ground action, great standup, submission escapes, everything. Too bad about the decision though, I thought Dempsey had it 2 to 1.

Any thoughts?

Tim v Mickey - Who got the KO?

Valmont

Sorry, Tim Murphy KO'd Mickey Young.

He threw about ten tight little hooks when Mickey tried to clinch and connected with a good few. Powerful punches.

Gotta get the DVD material I guess. That Tim Murphy is to be feared.

Roper

Tim just keeps getting better. Excellent stuff.

Some good fights - the atmosphere was a bit crap, but that's what you get oop North.

Vinny was unlucky not to finish his opponent - he had a triangle locked in at the end of round one, but just didn't have enough time to finish. He fought gamely throughout, showing a cool head and listening to his corner well. Fair play to the other guy though, who got the nod from the judges.

MadDog showed that "ten second Tim" can be a name to be proud of!

Tom Haddock showed some slick reversals against Rodney Moore, despite being a bit overpowered (IMHO). Unfortunately he got stuck on bottom and the ref stopped it. I'd like to see a rematch of this one at some stage.

Fight of the night was definitely the rematch between Owen Dempsey and Aidan Marron. I would have given Owen the nod myself, but thought that it would have been called a draw, taking into account "judges sensibilities", but there you go!

Are you fighting Owen Dempsey at the next Rings?

I'm open to correction but I'm fairly sure I only threw one left!

Thanks for the kind words guys. It was a bit surreal to have a fight end that quick but who's complaining. Big thanks to Mr. Grappletastic and Tom for cornering, much appreciated lads!

Valmont

well you're probably right.It was just so fast, it was hard to tell!

MaxBax

Nope!

Tim - I thought I saw a left and a right (or maybe a right and a left).

Valmont

sorry, i must have got mixed up.

mark.leonard

Clive has KO'ed the correct - it was a right straight and a looping overhand left that did the damage as far as I remember.

Tim_Murphy

sorry, i must have got mixed up.

I stand corrected, seen the video and I actually threw a good few more punches than I remember.

MaxBax

Tim_Murphy
