Standouts from PFC last night

[TripVersion1]

Anyone think any of the fighters stood out with great showings last night? I think Mike Moreno, Ralph Lopez, and Shawn Bias all looked on the ball and great last night. They definitly looked to be the most explosive and exciting fighters of the night.

I thought Dave Espinosa did well too, but still seems a little shy around the ring being his second fight. I think if he can let it all hang out eventually that he can do well.

Moreno and Bias really stood out in my mind. Bias was as colorful as they come and put on a great show both inside and outside the ring.

I also thought Ento looked stronger than ever.

I want to thank every fighter who stepped up and had the faith in us to put on a quality event. Everyone who competed gave it their all and I am so very appreciative. I have said this before and undoubtedly will say it again, but it's not the three letter brand that is of significant importance in terms of developing a successful show. It's treating the fighters with respect, following through on what you tell them, what is put down on paper, and investing time and energy into trying as hard as you can to give the fans more than just fights.

Anyone can put up a ring or cage and some seats and people will show up...it's no secret since the beginning of mankind human beings have shown a strong interest in witnessing combat sports. I just never felt comfortable stopping there. I and my staff want to deliver an event that transcends mere "fighting"-we want to deliver an entertainment event highlighted by great fights.

I, nor those who I report to have ever subscribed to the theory of spend as little as possible on an event, fill the seats and worry about the bottom line as much as focusing on investing in the sport in Central California, help build the sport, the athlete's development and grow the fan base for the sport of Mixed Martial Arts.

I applaud all the fighters, staff, managers, agents, media members--everyone who helped make this grow from an idea on December 8th 2006 at 3AM in my office alone and filled with mixed emotions to a successful, sold out show based on integrity, respect and honor.

I can say that even though my staff and I have produced over 400 events together over the last seven years, we always learn and always find ways to make improvements and adjustments in an attempt to deliver the best product possible.

I was very happy with the mainstream media in attendance, which we could not get to attend previous MMA events in our venue, their coverage will be of significant impact on the continued growth of the sport in the Central Valey and bring much deserved recognition and opportunities for the athletes.

Thank you again and please let's keep supporting the sport of Mixed Martial Arts at every level. I have been doing this long enough to know that you cannot ever fully please everyone but we aim to nonetheless and remember...The Fighters are the show !..the brand is just Three letters you need to put at the top of a poster.

I thought RDR did his thing. He never really struck me as a submission guy, though.

how was their fight i missed it?

[Hit Boy]

I came out with some right hands . ento threw some right hands. i connected on a few. i threw a leg kick. ento went for the clinch landed two knees one to my head one to my shoulder. i slipped he jumped on me landed some rights .herb stepped in and stopped it 31 Seconds later. not the showing i was hoping for. he had a tight clinch ill give him that.

[berrykplayer]

don't worry roy, its all good man, win some you loose some just train hard and have fun with it , thats what i think

[Hit Boy]

Thanks bro. its not to much fun when you lose. especialy two in a row. Everyone ask me why i fight there guys that are over a foot taller than me all i can do is laugh and say bring on the next one. Hey bro how is training? hit me up when your in sac. Im getting ready for my fight in march i need guys like you to kick my butt in the gym.

You came out very agressive Roy! 31 seconds does not tell the story. You showed poise and agression, something that is hard to do. Now that you say that you were slipping, it makes sense. I was wondering why you seemed to be off balance, I am sure by Kenny clinching your head did not help matters. Just keep your head up and come back stronger than ever. Dont listen to those guys that say they had fighters last longer than you. even though your fight lasted 31 seconds it sure had more action than some fights that lasted a minute or two...........oh by the way...THAT MASK WAS GREAT!!!!!!!!!!

Ill be watching your career buddy, good luck!!
