Short Summary of Last Night's Fights (Fightergalla 15)

As it always is with amateur fights, last nights fight was a mixture of good fights and fight that are just really frustrating to watch either because of the technical level or because of the level of condining these guys have. Luckily the last part was much better at this event than what it has been in past events, and only a few people gassed. The technical level was generally but we also got to see brawling and windmilling and lets face it that is really what the crowd wants.

Romy Ruyssens Team GSDI Vs. Maria Hougaard Fightgym.dk
This fight was pretty much a one sided affair. Ruyssens got Hougaard up against the cage and was able to control Hougaard there until she took here down. On the ground Ruyssens threw several good punches at went constantly went for submissions. In the end she went from a RNC to a beautiful armbar.

Hyram Rodriguez Team Atfmilitia Vs. Rasmus Bendtsen Team Fight Pit
From the beginning of the fight both fighters set a good pace and it looked pretty even in the stand-up. Then Bendtsen decided to go for a takedown, but Rodriguez got the best of that and ended on top. After that Rodgriguez had the edge in the fight. Round 2 didn't go any better for Bendtsen and in the end he ended up mounted at just taking punches and the referee stopped the fight with 5 seconds of the round to go.

Tim Waage VBC Stockholm Vs. Damir Hadzovic Esbjerg MMA
This was a really good match up and both fighters went at it in an energy filled and technical brawl.
Waage got a cut early in the fight but was able to continue. The fight went back and forth with both fighters landing a lot of significant punches. The turning point came when Tim Waage decided to go for at running/flying knee and got caught by Damir, who finished him of with a choke.

Arvydas Zilius The Knight of Plunge Vs. Auyb ”Zap” Tashkilot Submission fighting Aalborg
Arvydas Zilius took this fight on short notice and it was very obvious that there was a articulated difference in the skill level of the two fighters. Zap dominated the fight form early on at got some good takedowns in and ended up finishing Zilius on a RNC.

KO-of the night: Kenneth Wivelsted
Submission of the night:Romy Ruyssens

Rasmus Bendtsen to fight Hyram Rodriguez at Fightergalla 15

Rasmus Bendtsen from Fight Pit i Herning steps in to the ring again at Fightergalla 15 on september 11..

Bendtsen vs. Rodriguez

Hyram Rodriguez is a excellent grappler from Aruba with a record of 5-1, with most wins coming by submission. 
Bendtsen is especially known for his stand-up skills, so we are going to see a classic striker vs. grappler fight. Bendtsen says that he is going in there to "hit his head of" and predicts that Rodriguez will try to get him down into his element.

My predictions is that Bendtsen will be able to keep it standing and will have an edge there. Rodriguez is a very athletic fighter and if the fight goes to the ground he is good at ending up in the right positions, so Bendtsen will need to watch out. If he is able to follow his game plan I see him winning this fight.
