Ultimate Beatdown X: Robinson outpoints Harris, Cole submits “Mok”

(by the Coffee Boy) 

Malaysian MMA is still on the rise, and Ultimate Beatdown X gave fans a fun night of Muay Thai and professional MMA fights. The place wasn’t as packed as it could have been, but towards the end of the night it started getting crowded.

In the main event, Nik Harris fought Brad Robinson in what turned out to be a very technical sort of bout. Robinson managed to keep the fight on the ground, taking Harris down as often as he could. Harris seemed in trouble one or two times, but managed to defend against submission attempts pretty well.

In the third round, we saw Nik let his hands go a little bit more, and managed to land some good punches and a couple kicks. Robinson wouldn’t have any of that, clearly getting out-struck, and took it to the ground where he felt most comfortable. He controlled all of the last round, and despite it being a little less exciting, it’s understandable since they had a tough first two rounds against each other.

Brad Robinson is definitely someone to watch out for, and with a team like Fight G behind him and getting to train with  legends like Ole Laursen and Phil Baroni, the sky’s the limit for the “Vanilla Gorilla”. Nik Harris took the loss well, and was a class act post-fight. He was seen talking to Robinson, and they seemed to be cool around each other. Rumor is that Nik Harris has another fight coming up again soon. 

In the co-main event, Sabastion Cole took on “Mok”, a Judo fighter. Cole came out and threw some kicks and landed some solid, fast-paced punches, and managed to get his opponent’s back, and slapped on a standing rear naked choke.

Cole was one of the more impressive fighters of the night, demonstrating a versatile skill-set in the 38 seconds the fight lasted. He improved his record to 2-1, and we’re looking forward to watching this young man fight again soon.

Ultimate Beatdown X demonstrated that Malaysians are starting to get a better feel of MMA, both the fans and the fighters alike. The fighters have shown significant improvement, and the fans were eating up every bit of every single fight. Ultimate Beatdown is already looking forward to their next event, and we’ll post up details soon once more is confirmed.
