Reality Fighting 3 Rocks Bayonne!

Reality Fighting 3 Rocks Bayonne!
By Jim Genia

(Bayonne, New Jersey – February 8th) It was a record-breaking night for promoter Kipp Kollar, as the third incarnation of his Reality Fighting mixed martial arts show packed an audience of over two thousand into the gym at Marist High School. Fans came to see some action, and after 13 fast-paced battles on an all-amateur card, it seemed no one left dissatisfied. Highlights of the event included:

A slick Wally McDonald, as he pitted his judo ground skills against freestyle fighter Jeff Darienzo and came away with an armlock.
Thirty-nine year old Team Tiger Schulmann’s David Tirelli and his nonstop barrage as he teed off on Tong Dragon’s Tom Deblass’ face. Tirelli was on a mission, and it didn’t end until Deblass’ corner threw in the towel.
The incredible women’s title match! Far and away the bout of the night, champ and Team Tiger Schulmann representative Laura D’Auguste took on a heavier bando fighter in Del Greer, and the two waged war both on their feet and on the ground. Greer was solid – too solid for D’Auguste to stand and trade with and too solid to for her to take down – but in the final round the champ jumped to guard, swept Greer to attain mount, and rained down strikes until the ref stepped in. It was a reversal of fortune that had the crowd cheering, and a clear and convincing win that showed us why D’Auguste deserves to be the champ.

Super Brawl 28

The much anticipated "come out of retirement" fight for Egan Inoue almost fell through when Shooto Champion Masanori Suda broke his nose in his last fight and decided that he needed more time to train for Inoue. Due to the fact that Inoue had been training hard for a fight with Suda, a replacement was brought in to fight Inoue. Yukiya Naito came down in weight in order to step up to the challenge. Naito comes from the same gym as Pride and KOTC veteran Akira Shoji and Shooto Champion, Caol Uno. Inoue would be too much for the upstart dominating him for both rounds. Inoue looks to have regained the fire for MMA or maybe it is just his focused desire to acquire the Shooto belt. The card was filled with local talent, spiced up with a couple UFC veterans and a fighter from Eddy Millis’ Shark Tank. The evenly matched skill levels of the fighters were seen in the number of fights that went to the scorecards. The crowd loved the return on The Chief Andre Roberts, even if he took out one of the local fighters. This match was set up to introduce Roberts to the Hawaii crowd and build anticipation for a match up with local favorite Cabbage Correira. After his fight, Cabbage came into the ring and they both agreed to fight each other. Niko Vitale continued his streak of impressive victories by submitting Andre’s little brother Tyrone in under two minutes. It looks like Hawaii has a number of fighters that are on the brink of making the "big time."
