Northwest Fighting Challenge
|
Northwest Fighting Challenge Held, July 16, 2005 At the Academy of Brian Johnson Lacey, WA By Mike Neva  As kickboxer Jason Swan landed blow after blow to his increasingly dazed opponent, not a single fan remained in their seat. Fighting out of the very gym the event was held, the packed house was loving every second of this one sided beat down from their native son. Although he may not be a nationally recognized name, Jason "K-1" Swan, has a large following in the Pacific Northwest, and as Jim Sit Chai Sai crumbled to the mat, each and every one of the joyous on lookers roared their approval. First time promoter, Brian Johnson, could not have scripted a better ending to a marathon of sixteen fights that lasted nearly 4 hours!
Other highlights included an MMA slugfest between Haemen Song and Pat White. Both fighters came out with their fists blazing and gave the crowd a showcase of what amateur mma is all about. Neither man left anything in the ring, leaving both near exhaustion after only 1 round. Although extremely tired, White seemed to have a little more in his gas tank than his weather-beaten adversary. White opened round two with a flurry of punches, which would prove to be the beginning of the end as referee Bob Jacobsen called a halt to the bout early in the second round.
