Last weekend Kristian fought a hard fight in his Debut Semi Pro MMA bout at the East Coast Fight Factory Event held in Norwich. He stuck to the game plan throughout the bout but just fell short of a close decision to his larger opponent. Tom White's opponent unfortunatly pulled out on the day which left him without a fight. Nevertheless it was a great weekend.

Four members competed in a Mixed Martial Arts show held in Norwich on Saturday Night. Mark Durrington, Jordon Read. Alex Harris and Andrew Dennis competed in Amateur bouts. Jordon stepped in to take his first fight with just three days notice and was unfortunate to lose against his more experienced opponent by a guillotine choke. Mark Durrington dominated his opponent with take downs and was victorious by way of decision after the fight went the distance. Alex (Golden Boy) Harris looked confident from the bell and submitted his opponent by rear naked choke within the first 3 minutes of the first round. Andrew (The Adonis) Dennis was fighting an unbeaten opponent but made easy work of the bout. He also dominated with take downs and various submission attempts before finishing his opponent with a rear naked choke at 2 minutes 16 seconds of the first round. Well done to all the guys who competed and those who helped with the preperation leading up to the event.

Avaddon MMA had three club members compete in the event in Cambridge on May 1st.
 
Tom White 66kg featherweight amateur MMA - Tom looked confident in the build up to his match against Ben Jones (Force MMA) and showed why he was so confident, with a flawless performance against a game opponent. Tom took Ben down to the mat and dominated in his opponents guard, throwing some shots to the body. Tom stuffed a few of his opponents submission attempts with ease and won the bout with a unanimous decision.
 
Madars Vikas 75kg K1 bout (Kick Boxing) - Madars fought the more experienced James Ro (Diesel Gym) Madars was the much sharper striker on the night and started off strongly. However Madars got caught with a couple of hooks, that rocked him and very nearly ended the bout. Madars quickly composed himself and came back strongly in the second and third, knocking his opponent down twice and earning himself a well deserved unanimous decision.
 
Mark Durrington 70kg Amateur MMA - Mark (Avaddonmma) dominated the start of his match up against Philip Hearn (South Beds Kickboxing Academy), Taking his opponent down several times at the beginning but got slightly out positioned in the second half of the bout and lost a majority decision.
