Latest Team Praxis Competition Results!!

Been a while since we updated because we have been so busy traveling and competing!!

 

March 21st- NAGA Atlanta

Brian Arnold took home the gold medal in the beginner Masters HW division and Eddie Cummins brought home two medals including the silver in intermediate division and the gold in the intermediate Masters division!

Also on March 21st Cam McHargue and Chris "NoSweat" Calhoun headed up to Rumble By The River in Chattanooga, TN. Cam went to ref and Chris went to get in the cage and do what he does best. Unfortunately Chris' opponent decided to no-show along with his team mates so another fighter, Aaron Tumbleson, whose opponent was also on the No Show Team, stepped up to do an exhibition match with Chris despite a weight discrepancy. Chris' size advantage coupled with his skill and finesse proved to be a little too much for Tumbleson as Chris won by rear choke early in the first round. As this fight was an exhibition it will not appear as a win on Chris' record.

 

March 27th- King Of The Cage Atlanta

Jacob DelaRosa dispatched his opponent, James Robinson, quickly in the first round with a hammerlock submission improving Jacob's undefeated record to 3-0!

Lance Evans had a very tough fight earning his first decision win over David Pope. This fight saw Evans throwing a lot of kicks and getting a lot of takedowns and controlling the ground game while Pope cautiously waited to time a perfect overhand right. Pope managed to land it once, sending Evans to the canvas but Evans' experience pulled him through and he recovered and went on to win the decision. This improves Lance's record to 6-2.

Team Praxis Results From Winter Heat!!

Winter Heat is in the books and Team Praxis went undefeated for the evening. Jacob DeLaRosa dispatched his opponent, Larry Wall, rather quickly at 1:26 into the first round with a rear naked choke keeping his record unblemished at 2-0. Chris Calhoun won his third amateur fight against a tough opponent, Robert Beecher. Beecher, being over 6 and a half feet tall and having a very long reach, proved to be an awkward obstacle for Chris but Calhoun solved the riddle getting Beecher to the ground and winning by TKO halfway through the second round. This improves Chris' record to an impressive 3-1.

Our Team Praxis South affiliate, Valdosta Martial Arts Center, also had a very good showing on the evening going 6-1 and winning all three title fights that they were in contention for. Brett Chism, Dicky Willson, Shawn Snow, Brent Johnson, Joel Weldon and Tony Ritter all walked away victorious in their bouts.

Pictures from the event can be seen here

Next up is King of the Cage coming to Atlanta on March 27th. We hope to have quite a few of our fighters as well as some V-Mac fighters on the card. Stay tuned!!!
