Atlanta's Friday Night Fights IV
Thorpe Takes East Coast Amateur U.S. Super Heavyweight Title
In A WALK Over Waite Who?



Atlanta, Georgia, USA: David Oblas' (Left) and his Undisputed Productions' hosted No Holds Barred & Professional Boxing on the same card for the first time ever in Georgia. This was Oblas' 7th event in 14 months, this time held at the Tabernacle in Atlanta, Georgia and was an overall success. More than 200 people hoping to purchase tickets were turned away at the box office by 2 words - SOLD OUT!

Those who did attend were treated to a first time ever in Georgia event as 5 ISCF No Holds Barred and 5 Professional boxing bouts were combined in one night. Choosing to alternate between Pro Boxing and No Holds Barred contests, Undisputed Productions' strategy kept the audience intrigued and proved to be a good formula. All of the ISCF No Holds Barred fights ended in the first round once a fighter mounted his opponent. None of the fighters seemed poised enough to reverse difficult defensive positions from their backs. However, the crowd embraced the intense yet short bouts filled with lots of blood and bare-knuckles. Here are the nights ISCF MMA results below:

MOSES SCORES AGAIN
With Another Titanic Card and Crowd


Atlanta, Georgia, USA: Southern Fight Fans thinking that they could beat the heat, this past Saturday, at the Dekalb Atlanta Centre, were sorely mistaken. The reason: IKF/ISCF promoter and World Team member, Brett Moses yet again unleashing a firestorm of red hot action.

    • Round 2: Each fighter scored repeatedly during this round, backing each other into the ropes.

    • Round 3: While standing, Lowry had the advantage, but on the ground, it was all Stealy as Damien was able to clinch, secure superior position and score with punches. Give credit to Lowry who was able to defend submission attempt after submission attempt from the accomplished grappler.

  6. Bout 6: Heavyweight ISCF MMA

Winner: Hicks - Corner Stoppage
      • What could have been a disaster was quickly defused as Promoter Moses, Eddie Camden, Dr. John Keating, Kru Kevin Jakobs and the Fight Party security team quickly broke up a heated argument between Team Jacare and LA Boxing.

  13. Bout 13: Light Middleweight ISCF MMA
    Shaun Gay (VMAC) Vs Jeff Joslin (Team Jacare')
    • Round 1: Questionable strategy by Gay, known for his striking, who instead came out and immediately attempted to take the BJJ Brown Belt, Joslin down. Joslin got the better of it, took the mount position, and began raining down strikes. Winner: Joslin - strikes.

    • Round 1: Selbee scored a knockdown with a smooth front kick and fancy TKD show boating that pleased the partisan crowd.
    • Round 2: Joe Lewis would have been proud of Selbee's effective use of the lead leg side kick in this round.
    • Round 3: Throwing kicks like a lightweight, Selbee fought through a cut from an accidental head butt, even utilizing a hook kick in one of his combinations.
    • Round 4: Selbee scores another knock down, this time with a side kick. The side kick proved a solid weapon for him, as he landed with it repeatedly.
    • Round 5: Refusing to sit on his lead, Selbee put in a hardworking round, aggressively throwing combinations of punches and kicks. Craft landed some solid shots but just couldn't seem to get off any consistent combinations. Winner: Selbee - Unanimous Decision
