Fight Of The Night

This was probably the most entertaining fight of the night! Three rounds of great stand-up fighting by each fighter. Jennet was throwing high kicks every chance he could to take advantage of the height difference over VanMeer, but he was checked nicely by VanMeer and countered with more than one take down in those exchanges.
Low kicks thrown by Des Moines Mixed Martial Arts Academy Fighter Cole Jennet were countered by big overhand rights that caught Cole on more than one occasion. The three kicks to the groin of Mike ” Mini Van” Van Meer during the fight ended up costing Cole Jennet big in the fight to earn VanMeer a Unanimous Victory over the very game Jennet. Although they were unintentional strikes to the mid section of Mike VanMeer he did a great job of keeping his composure, helping Jennet to his feet at re-starts during the fight more than once. You rarely have the privilege of seeing that caliber of sportsmanship in any sport. Both Fighters were always busy and never retreating the entire fight and I really look forward to seeing what Midwest Cage Championships has in store for us in July! This earns Mike VanMeer a Title shot against Jason Louck in the future.
