Merthyr Mayhem 2: Review
13 Sep 2009 02:03
By Ricky Wright
In most grass roots MMA shows the heavy weights dominate the main event slot, this was the case at Merthyr Mayhem 2. Both Liam Ronan and Hywel Knight showed a very high level of skill during the fight. uncharacteristic of a heavy weight bout....this was not two gargantuan freaks swinging for the fences, gasping for breath after the first minute. No these fighters could grapple, and grapple good. In the first round we saw many submission attempts, escapes and skilful transitions by both men, leaving the first round to finish up fairly even with Knight just edging on the judges score cards. In the second round Knight began to build momentum and take control of the fight, bullying the bloodied up Ronan. In a desperate attempt Ronan clutched on to the estranged neck of Knight, tilted his head back and looked up at the lights above hoping to feel the tap, which came awarding Liam Ronan the submission victory by guillotine choke.
Vitor "Shaolin" Ribeiro is known for his trade...
