Lights out!

Hello again and welcome to the Combat Athletix blog. Today we are discussingthe results from our very own Josh Montoro's MMA fight in Orlando at the WEF event this weekend. Needless to say. Josh won. But... How he won was a spectacular display of the striking taught here at Combat Athletix.

First, at the weigh-ins Josh felt very disrespected by his opponent, Joey. I personally feel that Joey is a nice guy. I have had conversations with him and the past and to me he is a very humble and respectful person. I reminded Josh of that after the fact but the insult had already taken place.

When the two of them were standing at the podium after they stepped off of the scale they did the whole stare down thing. Joey jumped at Josh as if he was trying to scare him or make him flinch. This angered Josh pretty bad. Plus, Josh weighed in at 186 then Joey and his coach told him to get rid of the extra pound. Not a problem. The entire time during the weight cut Josh kept saying, "You better be careful who you flinch at."

Once again, I think Joey is a great guy and believe this whole incident was done just for show. Regardless, Josh was bothered by it and felt he was going to make him show respect in the cage.

Fight time. The two of them touched gloves and danced around for a couple of seconds. Joey threw an inside leg kick and Josh continued to move around. Then Josh answered with an outside leg kick of his own and the two of them began to throw some hands. They broke then reengaged. Josh noticed that Joey dropped his left hand right before he threw a hook and siezed the opportunity with a thunderous right hand. Once Josh connected, Joey was out! There was no need for follow up as he was completely asleep. Josh was so amped up about the whole disrespect thing that he actually head butted the cage. Once he calmed down a little bit he realized that his opponent was still down and like any fighter from Combat Athletix he was concerned about his well being. He even offered his services as a paramedic to make sure Joey was okay. After a while Joey came to and Josh went over and shook his hand and told him good job. No hard feelings after the fight.

Even during the interview he made sure to say Joey was one of his toughest opponents and that simply he caught him before he got caught. No egos, no hard feelings. They both came out to win and Josh emerged victorious that night. It was a well display of ferocity and athleticism, while at the same time having a gentleman's spirit. Well done Josh, kudos Joey.
