Paul 'Semtex' Daley (Team Rough House) v Bojan 'Zelva' Kosednar (Ljunljana, Slovenia). The main MMA fight of the night at this Cage Warriors event - 'Enter The Rough House 7' tournament. Scheduled for 5x5 minute rounds, saw previously unbeaten Kosednar clearly hurt in round one, being knocked to the ground in the corner of the cage with a knee to the ribs. For a moment it looked like it was all over for Kosednar as Semtex Daley piled in the ground and pound, making a clear effort to bring the fight to a speedy end. However, Kosednar did manage to recover and eventually gained his footing - using the cage to rise to his feet. But by now Daley had Kosednar on his back foot and downed him again before finally landing a powerful left hook, knocking Kosednar out cold with only seconds to go in the opening round. A delighted crowd, (packed house) rose to their feet and rejoiced at the spectacular finale.
Norwegian Simeon Thoresen (Team Joachim Hansen) beat (Team Colosseum's) Matt Thorpe - Tap from a Kimura.
(Team Rough House) Jim Wallhead beat Brazilian, Fabricio Nascimento. Much to the approval of the crowd. Nascimento was warned by the referee for taunting Wallhead, although I have to admit to somewhat of a laugh as each time he taunted Wallhead, Wallhead punched him hard and fast. Nascimento was clearly beaten and hurt. Rather him than me.
Abdul Mohamed and Andre Winner. The most controversial result of the night. A majority draw. All around there were shaking heads as the result came in. I had Abdul Mohamed ahead as he seemed to put most of the work in and grounded Winner a few times. on two occasions carrying Winner over his head and decking him right in front of his (Mohamed's) coaching team.
