First Offense
Last weekend’s Locked In The Cage: First Offense in Leesburg, Virginia as an “all amateur” show with explosive results. Fans were on their feet screaming for more as LITC provided a lightning fast KO, several TKOs and submissions and only one fight ended in decision.
With 5 submissions on the evening, choosing the submission of the night wasn’t an easy task but the bout between Coalition Fight Club’s Kevin Rohrer and Warpath’s Tyrone Chrisjohn stands out. Persevering through early an early takedown and obvious man-handling, Rohrer was able to lock in an arm bar early and even survive a slam to the ground from Chrisjohn (in an unsuccessful attempt to free his arm). Rohrer locked the submission hold tighter and said after the fight, “I want a title shot on June 26th”. With his submission of the night victory, rumors say he’ll get his title shot soon.
Locked In The Cage is known for action and they didn’t disappoint fans with the fight of the night between Alex Conover and Nah-Shon Burrell. A non stop action packed fight that showed all the elements of MMA, fans witnessed another war leading to a decision.

Sport Fight X – Showdown On The Southside
The SportFight X era in the southeast US has begun. Certainly an event filled with great fights, including a triangle choke you can’t miss, the intense anticipation was filling the packed house at the Georgia World Congress Center. The main event matchup between Douglas Lima “the Phenom” and Cortez “Hollywood” Coleman, was of the highest anticipated fight tournaments in Georgia MMA history. “The REDLINE Grand Prix,” sponsored by Redline VPX, was filled with battles and the main event was nothing but the same.
As the 3rd and final round started, both fighters stood facing each other, hearts pounding, dripping in sweat and stomachs in knots, it would be hard to imagine what was going through their heads. Each man had a look of determination and hope in their eyes after 2 rounds of fierce fighting, in where each fighter had failed to finish the other, the 3rd round proved once again, through heart and skill, there’s always a winner. To see the exciting outcome to the main event and to watch all the amazing bouts SportFight X had to offer fans, go to http://www.gofightlive.tv/showEvent.do?eventId=680 and watch the Video On Demand.
