Brawl at Bourbon St

This past Wednesday night, I attended my first independent MMA promotion.. The event was called Brawl at Bourbon St and being promoted by Cut Throat MMA. The event took place at 115 Bourbon St in Merrionette Park. I really didnt know what to expect. So, I got there at about 5 PM to check things out and it had about 200 chairs surrounding the octagon.. There were supposed to be 15 fights on the card including 2 title fights to headline the show.. One was for the welterweight title between TJ Rowley and Taveres Green and the main event was a light heavyweight title affair between Tony Kimbrough and Bill Johnson.. They let eveyone in about 7 even though the event started at 7:30.. As the place filled , I got to meet former WEC champion and top pound for pound fighter, Miguel Torres. I went up and talked to him for a couple minutes asking how his injury was healing up and when we will expect his return.. He is projected to fight in August and hopes to face Brain Bowles in a remath cin which Bowles knocked Torres in the 2nd round to win the bantamweight title.. The card started at about 8PM, which was a half hour later than original bell time.. All the fights either ended in a TKO due to punches or win by submission via rear naked choke and there was only 1 fight that went to a decision.. The one guy that really stood out was Bill Johnson who fought in the main event and won the light heavyweight title when he beat Kimbrough in the 2nd round via submission with an incredible armbar.. Johnson had a really good build and is tight with his defense by keeping his gloves up and has superior boxing and a really good wrestling background.. The way he went from an attempted triangle and floated it into an armbar to win via submission to win the title. Johnson is trained by Miguel Torres and the Torres submission camp.. Johnson showed that he is very capable of reaching his goal and UFC or Strikeforce.. Overall, it was a great night of fights with exciting action and I would thank promotor Mike Davis who promoted a great night of action and get the feel of an event that may be small to most people but had a big card feel with the rabid fans cheering and booing throughout the show. And at the end of the day, it is about the fans and giving them the best fights possible.
