PURE FORCE V – VENDETTA!
March 31st, 2007 – Tinley Park, Illinois, USA

IKF & ISCF Representatives Mike & Terri Storm
The crowd was ready, the fighters were pumped and the card was volatile at the Tinley Park Convention Center in Tinley Park, Illinois on Saturday, March 31, 2007 for the

REVOLUTION FIGHT NIGHT I
“ANARCHY IN THE RING”

The guys at HCX International, Brian Thompson, James and Ron Hill, know how to put together an event in the face of adversity. The State of Illinois is attempting to take control of all styles of fighting, amateur and professional, and modifying the rules of such events to satisfy their own wishes and make it difficult to have an exciting program.

In fact, the state successfully managed to shut down an event elsewhere in the state on this very night. In spite of this, the guys at HCX crossed all of the t’s, dotted all of the i’s and put together a card involving Mixed Martial Arts and Kickboxing featuring both Professional and Amateur fighters.

Special congratulations must go to all of the fighters and trainers for being ready to fight.

The pre-fight weigh-ins, paperwork, rules meeting and physicals went off without a hitch which allowed the event to start “on time”…how often does that happen??!!! Before the results of the night, I want to recognize Lisa Dzik and Maggie Mangaliag for putting on a Muay Thai Rules exhibition.

Here are the Results of the night…

AMATEUR BOUTS
AMATEUR MMA – Lightweight
Ron Gilb (0-1, Cicero, Illinois, Bob Schmer) Vs Rick “Ricardo” Lamas (1-0, Top Notch, Elmhurst, Illinois, Macario Ramos)
A cautious and slow start as each fighter appeared reluctant to take a risk. They wound up in a clinch where each began throwing knees to the others body. Eventually, Lamas got his arms around Gilb’s body and threw Gilb onto his back. Lamas, from a top mount, threw several punches to Gilb’s head causing Gilb to concentrate on covering up. Lamas was able to stand and grab Gilb’s legs. He threw them aside and gained a full mount on Gilb while continuing the punching assault to Gilb’s head. Gilb turned to his stomach, exposing his back to Lamas and allowing Lamas to put a rear naked choke on him.
At 2:15 of Round 1, the fight was stopped by Referee Al Wichgers. Winner by Tap Out-Ricardo Lamas.

AMATEUR MMA Welterweight
Luke Niles (1-3, Sandwich, Illinois, Mike Clemens) Vs Daren Smith (1-0, Peoria, Illinois, Ryan Blackorby)
Both fighters started the round punching at each other until Niels shot for a takedown. He came up short and as he stood up, Smith shot and took Niels down to the canvass. They wrestled around but neither was able to get the upper-hand. Referee Al Wichgers had to stop them, stand them and re-start them. The round ended with a slight edge going to Niels on 2 of the 3 judges cards.
Round 2: Smith was able to take Niels down fairly easy this round several times but was unable to get an advantage. When the referee stood the fighters up a third time, Smith was able to take Niels down again and gain side control. Smith got Niels bent arm and placed him in an arm-bar (Kamura).
At 2:56 of Round 2, the fight was stopped by Referee Al Wichgers. Winner by Tap Out-Daren Smith.

AMATEUR MMA Welterweight
Luke Bilski (1-0, Force Toro, Bull Ridge, Illinois, Sean Burke) Vs Casey Wiley (0-1, Team DeVore, Mt. Zion, Illinois, Jeff DeVore.)
To start the fight, Wiley threw a round kick to Bilski’s head and followed it up with a takedown. Wiley got the top mount but was unable to do anything from there. They rolled around for a while until the referee stood them up. Again, Wiley took Bilski down. While in the top mount, Wiley got too high and gave Bilski a straight arm allowing Bilski to put him in a straight armbar.
At 2:00 of Round 1, the fight was stopped by Referee Al Wichgers. Winner by Tap Out-Luke Bilski.

AMATEUR MMA Welterweight
Rich Graveline (1-2, Olympic Arena, Manteno, Illinois, Peter Farais) Vs Mike Perry (2-0, Team DeVore, Mt. Zion, Illinois, Jeff DeVore)
Perry threw a kick to Graveline’s body to start the fight. Graveline caught the leg and threw Perry around onto the canvass allowing him to jump onto Perry’s back. Graveline put Perry in a rear naked choke but was unable to cinch it in for the submission. Perry got out of the choke, twisted around and was able to stand. Again, Graveline was able to get onto Perry’s back after another successful takedown. This time Graveline threw a number of punches to Perry’s head. Perry again twisted around, got out of danger and stood up. While in the standing position, Perry threw a hard right hook that hit Graveline on the left cheek and sent Graveline down to one knee. Perry failed to follow up and allowed Graveline to stand. Graveline took Perry down once again and finished the round by pounding Perry until the bell rang. The right hook by Perry to Graveline’s face opened a cut under Graveline’s eye. Between rounds, Doctor Bruce Hertz came in to look at the cut and determined it was too severe for Graveline to continue.
At the end of Round 1, the fight was stopped by the doctor. Winner by TKO-Mike Perry.

AMATEUR Muay Thai Rules Middleweight
Tim Martin, (1-0, Force Toro, Bull Ridge, Illinois, Ricardo Perez) Vs Ivan Wolshlager, (0-1, Team Lightning Kicks, Kalamazoo, Michigan, Amir Killah.)
The round started with Martin coming across the ring throwing a right kick to Wolshlager’s body followed up by a right punch to his head. Wolshlager clinched and Martin proceeded to knee him in the body. Martin controlled the round in the clinches as Wolshlager appeared to be bothered by Martin’s knees to his body.
Round 2: Martin started the round attacking. His main weapon this round appeared to be his leg kicks. He threw one kick to Wolshlager’s legs earning a flash knockdown. When Wolshlager got up, Martin kicked his leg again and again put Wolshlager down. Referee Al Wichgers gave Wolshlager an 8-count when he was slow getting up. The round finished with Martin’s vicious leg kicks.
Round 3: This round was much like the previous round. More Martin leg kicks delivered to Wolshlager earned him several more flash knockdowns. In an effort to gain some relief from the leg kicks, Wolshlager tried to clinch with Martin. It only gave Martin the chance to work the knees to the body again. A hard well placed knee by Martin put Wolshlager down for the last time.
At 1:08 of Round 3, the fight was stopped by Referee Al Wichgers. Winner by TKO-Tim Martin.

AMATEUR MMA Lightweight
Tim Potter (0-1, Double Tap Fight Crew, Plainfield, Illinois, Charles Wilson) Vs Brendon Stutzman, (3-0, Chicagoland MMA, Sugar Grove, Illinois, Kyle Solberg.)
Lots of flailing of arms and legs to start the fight but nothing effective was thrown. In a clinch, Potter was able to throw Stutzman and land on top but was unable to do anything. The referee stood the fighters up where Stutzman began to connect with punches to Potter’s head. Potter took Stutzman down again but as before the referee had to stand them after a period of inactivity before the round ended.
Round 2: This round was much like the first round where they were up and down twice. The third time down, Stutzman was able to get to Potter’s back and was able to put Potter in a rear naked choke.
At 1:57 of Round 2, the fight was stopped by Referee Al Wichgers. Winner by Tap Out-Brendon Stutzman.

AMATEUR Kickboxing – International Rules Middleweight
Eric Newingham, (3-2, Team DeVore, Mt. Zion, Illinois, Jeff DeVore) Vs Daniel Park, (0-1, Top Notch, Elmhurst, Illinois, Macario Ramos.)
Park came to the event expecting to fight Muay Thai but his opponent (Nick Mart ) became ill and was unable to compete. Newingham came to the event expecting to fight International Rules and his opponent (Clinton Brown) was a “No Show”. The fighters were only 6 pounds different in weight and both came to fight so they paired up together to fight.
Round 1: Both fighters came forward swinging to end it early with little effect until they settled down and started picking their shots. After several leg kick exchanges, Newingham moved in with a series of left and right punches to Park’s head. He knocked Park down earning him an 8 count. The round ended with both fighters exchanging blows.
Round 2: The round began with heavy exchanges. Park, the Muay Thai fighter, let his instincts kick in and clinched Newingham to throw knees which are illegal in an International Rules match. Referee Al Wichgers warned Park not to use knees. As the round progressed, Park was caught using his knees again and received 1 point deduction. Again, later in the round, Park received a warning for a low blow and a second point deduction for using his knees. The round ended with hard exchanges from both fighters.
Round 3: Early in the round, Park was caught using his knees again.
At :23 of Round 3, the fight was stopped by Referee Al Wichgers. Winner by Disqualification, Eric Newingham.

The fighters wrestled around in the standing position for a period of time trying to prevent the other from getting the upper hand. Eventually, O’Brien was able to get Jordan down and get Jordan’s back but was unable to do anything with it causing the referee to stand them and re-start them. O’Brien threw a kick to Jordan’s body but slipped and fell to the canvass. Jordan dropped on O’Brien but O’Brien was able to slide sideways and escape to the top position. O’Brien had a chance to put 2 arm bars on Jordan but Jordan was able to twist out of them. As Jordan was twisting his body around, O’Brien took the opportunity to grab Jordan’s leg and apply an ankle lock that Jordan couldn’t escape from.
At 2:09 of Round 1, the fight was stopped by Referee Al Wichgers. Winner by Tap Out-Joe O’Brien.

AMATEUR MMA Bantamweights
Kyle Dietrich (1-0, Pekin Martial Arts Academy, Pekin, Illinois, Justin Abaite) Vs Jacob Ritchie (5-3, Springfield Fight Club, Springfield, Missouri).
Both fighters exchange punches early. Ritchie staggers Dietrich with a right hook to the jaw and takes Dietrich down to continue punching Dietrich from the top mount. Dietrich successfully tied Ritchie up long enough to recover and force the referee to stand them up. Ritchie was aggressive and went to finish Dietrich early. Dietrich was patient and remained calm while waiting for Ritchie to make a mistake. Dietrich’s patience paid off as Ritchie got too high and gave Dietrich a straight arm which Dietrich locked into an arm bar.
At 2:28 of Round 1, the fight was stopped by Referee Al Wichgers. Winner by Tap Out-Kyle Dietrich.

Round 1: Wilson took Khillah down and worked from the side mount with little effect causing the referee to stand them up. They kicked and kneed each other for a while until Wilson took Khillah down again with a full mount while throwing several punches to Khillah face giving Khillah a bloody nose. The attack stalled so the referee stood them up again. Each fighter threw more kicks and knees, Wilson took Khillah down again and the round ended with Wilson on top.
Round 2: Several kicks and knees by both fighters to start the round until Wilson took Khillah down with a top mount. Wilson attempted a quick arm bar but missed it and opened him self up for Khillah to switch positions and get on top. Nothing happened so the referee stood them up. More kicks and knees with Khillah possibly having the edge from the standing position as the round ended.
Round 3: Wrestling around was ineffective until Wilson took Khillah down. Again the referee stood them up. After more clinching and wrestling, Khillah failed at an attempt to sweep Wilson. Khillah ended up pulling Wilson down on top of him. With Wilson now in a full mount, he pounded Khillah with a flurry of lefts and rights to the head. Khillah was unable to defend himself and told Referee Al Wichgers he was finished.
At 4:23 of Round 3, the fight was stopped by Referee Al Wichgers. Winner by Submission-Charles Wilson.
