Texas House of Champions fighter Andy Chiu is now TAMMA new Flyweight Champion, October 3rd, 2009

The main event of the night featured Danny Flick vs. Andy Chiu for the Fly Weight Championship. This was the only fight to be called due to injury, as Flick may have pulled his shoulder in the first round. It was a shame to see a fight end this way as it looked to be an entertaining bout. Maybe we could see his brother Jimmy vs. Andy as both are now 5-0, for the title. It was a great night for fights. This card had everything from decision victories to KO’s. Look for another great set of fights on November 14th at Heroes’ Championship and on December 5th at Fight Fest 16. Until then, see you at WEC on Saturday October 10th.   Ra

The Dragon's Dome in Pekin, Illinois was the site the folks at "The Hive" chose to have fighters from Iowa and Illinois do battle with each other in mixed martial arts action on Saturday night October 11th, 2008. They also put together an exciting main event by bringing Baltazar Acosta all of the way from Cedar Hill, Texas to fight a local favorite, Donald Harper from Washington, Illinois for the ISCF United States Amateur Bantamweight Title

1. Vacant ISCF United States Amateur Bantamweight Title
   Baltazar "Balti" Acosta, 4-1-0, 135, 5'10", 8/3/81, Cedar Hill, TX, James Pham, 469-826-4163, VS Donald Harper, 7-2-0, 135, 6'2", 5/15/89, Washington, IL, T.J. Mohler, 309-838-5495.
   Round 1: Harper, with an obvious reach advantage due to longer arms and legs, circled Acosta and threw kicks and punches. Acosta stood his ground and blocked many of the shots until he was close enough to shoot for a takedown on Harper. Harper, on the bottom, took some punches as Acosta stood over him until he was able to get his long legs up and around Acosta's head and shoulders for a triangle choke. Acosta fought the choke and pulled his head out of it but left his arm where Harper could grab it and lock down a straight arm bar. The round ended before Harper could get Acosta to tap out. All judges scored the round for Harper.
   Round 2: After an ineffective exchange of punches, Harper shot in and took Acosta down. Acosta held Harper's head, turned and rolled Harper over onto his back where Acosta landed a couple of knees to Harper's body from a side mount and controlled the action for a great portion of the round. Harper adjusted his position and held tight onto Acosta which caused a period of inactivity that forced Referee Chris Rudesill to stand them and restart the fight. Harper closed the distance and grabbed Acosta around the waist and dropped him on the ground. Acosta turned and gave Harper his back allowing Harper to get his hooks in but didn't have enough time left in the round to do anything. In a close round, two judges gave the edge to Acosta.
   Round 3: Acosta came forward with a series of body shots that backed Harper to the cage. Acosta then attacked with a flying knee which Harper blocked by raising his own knee which accidentally struck Acosta in the groin. After a brief recovery period, the fight resumed with Harper kicking Acosta's leg. Acosta answered with a pair of kicks to Harper's body that drove him back to the cage. Harper used the cage to bounce himself forward and get a takedown on Acosta. Acosta spins and faces Harper which left both fighters on their knees. Harper tried to push Acosta back but Acosta caught him in a guillotine choke which forced Referee Chris Rudesill to step in and stop the fight at 1:25 of the round.
   Winner by Tapout and the New ISCF United States Amateur Bantamweight Champion, Baltazar Acosta.
