CFFC 91 video: Pat Sabatini scores vacant title with armbar submission

BAD MMA News — Sat, 19 Dec 2020 04:43:44 +0000

Entering Friday’s CFFC 91, the promotion’s featherweight title didn’t have a belt-holder. In the card’s main event, Pat Sabatini changed that with a slick, second-round armbar submission of fellow regional veteran Jesse Stirn . After a dominant first round, Sabatini (13-3) dragged Stirn (10-4) to the ground in Round 2. From there, he worked his way up to an armbar, pulled guard, and locked in a torque that was too tight for Stirn to handle. Sabatini picked up another submission win and, with it, title gold

CFFC 91 video: Jose Perez pulls off groin-wrenching banana split submission

BAD MMA News — Sat, 19 Dec 2020 03:23:18 +0000

Ouch, this one just hurts to watch. At Friday night’s CFFC 91, Jose Perez made his sophomore professional outing a memorable one when he defeated Jacob Dorman by – the rare but always gruesome – banana split submission. The fight hit the mat and as the fighters tangled up, Perez (2-0) grabbed hold of Dorman’s left leg. From there, it didn’t take long for Perez to obtain the proper level of torque to get the tap from Dorman (1-4), whose torso and legs were tweaked in an improper direction. Even after Perez released the submission, Dorman writhed in pain on the ground – as if losing a fight isn’t bad enough

Darrell Horcher thinks his comeback will be better the second time around

Darrell Horcher knows a thing or two about comebacks. Once told he would never walk again following a horrific 2016 motorcycle accident, Horcher instead was able to battle back to compete 13 months later in the UFC, even picking up a split-decision win in an emotional return to the sport. Unfortunately for the 33-year-old, that June 2017 victory was the last time he’s had his hand raised inside of the cage. “After the accident, I wasn’t ready to fight,” Horcher now admits.

Move over, Henry Cejudo: Solomon Renfro aims to be the combat sports GOAT

Solomon Renfro isn’t messing around when it comes to setting goals in his professional fighting career. The undefeated welterweight doesn’t plan on stopping until he’s known as the greatest combat sports athlete of all-time. “My goal since Day 1 coming into the sport is to be the greatest of all-time,” Renfro said. “I plan to get a belt in the UFC and defend my belt at least 10 times, and also to get a professional belt in boxing and defend that belt, as well. So that’s why I say I want to be called the greatest combat sports athlete ever, because I’d be the first one to get a belt in boxing and MMA

From gruesome defeat to scary victory, Pat Sabatini hopes to close wild 2020 in style

It’s fair to say that no one on the planet saw their 2020 live out the way they initially envisioned it, and former CFFC featherweight champion Pat Sabatini is no different. But, at least from a professional fighting perspective, Sabatini’s year was certainly wilder than most. “This whole year has been a crazy year, to say the least,” Sabatini said. It started in February, when Sabatini still held the CFFC featherweight title. After having multiple opponents fall through over a five-month period, he agreed to take on a dangerous black belt in James Gonzalez. Though most expected Sabatini to prove victorious, Gonzalez delivered a shocking upset by grabbing on to his opponent’s arm and wrenching it for a technical-submission win , delivering one of the most gruesome scenes from the CFFC all year.
