ROF STARS THATCH & SPRATT WIN IN CANADA!!

An emotional Spratt (24-21) came into the fight just hours after his grandmother passed away Thursday. The 40-year-old Texan elected to fight anyway.

“This was for you grandmamma,” said an emotional Spratt, who had lost five of his last eight fights prior to Friday.

“I knew she would want me to come out and fight hard and that’s what I did,” he added.

Grandmont, a native of Lac Megantic, via Drummondville, Que., tried to punish Spratt with kicks in a back-and-forth first round. But the American finished strongly, knocking Grandmont down late in the round with a right and left to the head.

Spratt, a southpaw, looked down at his left hand in the second round as if hurt. He threw it sparingly after that but managed to take Grandmont down later in the round.

Grandmont fought his way back up but went down after eating an uppercut in the clinch. Spratt finished him off four punches later to end the fight at four minutes of the second round.

Grandmont (12-6) was coming off a knockout win in October when he stopped Muay Thai veteran William Sriyapai with a head kick at the inaugural Instinct show in Montreal.

Grandmont, 29, was originally slated to meet Phil (The New York Bad Ass) Baroni but the former UFC and Pride veteran was forced out with an injury.

In the co-main event at the Pavillon de la Jeunesse, American welterweight Brandon (Rukus) Thatch (6-1) made short work of France’s (Dexter) Patrick Vallee (7-2-1).

Thatch caught the Frenchman with an early uppercut then finished him off after just 15 seconds for his sixth first-round win.

“I’m sure I’ll get my day but until then I’m going to keep doing what I do,” said Thatch.
