American Top Team was represented by three fighters on on TUF Heavyweights Finale last night.
First up for ATT was Darrill Schoonover taking on James McSweeney. Darrill fought hard, but got caught late in the third round resulting in a TKO loss. Darrill is a tough kid who trained very hard for this fight. He was a pleasure to have in the academy. We hope to see Darrill back training with us after his active duty commitment to the Army. He will report to Afghanistan for a 14 month tour. Best of luck to Darrill!
Next up for ATT was Mark Bocek. Mark took on Joe Brammer and did what he does best, getting the takedown and patiently working for the fight ending rear naked choke at 3:36 of round one. Mark looked very sharp and a lot of that has to do with his work ethic. Mark is another guy that is just an awesome training partner for so many in the gym. Great to have him training with us and part of the team. Congrats Mark!
This next fight had a crazy amount of hype and publicity surrounding it. Representing American Top Team, Kimbo Slice made his Octagon debut taking on UFC veteran Houston Alexander. Kimbo was a big underdog heading into this bout but he did a great job of pulling out the unanimous decision win. During his time with us, Kimbo worked hard with our Muay Thai trainer "Cha" and head coach Ricardo Liborio in preparing for this bout. It was good to work with Kimbo, his manager Mike, and the rest of Team Kimbo. We look forward to doing it again!
Congrats to the fighters. They all fought hard last night.
