Fight 5: Oni “The Demon” (Ultimate MMA Academy) Vs Mohd “The Bullkiller” Zakhir
Before this fight started I would not have bet on it going past the first round. Oni is a man who goes by many names. My Son just calls him coach. He is a BJJ specialist and he is up against a Muay Thai practitioner.
The fight starts, Mohd came out with a side kick, before they touched gloves a cheap shot. They exchange kicks, Oni lands a high kick, dodges one and then throws a kick, faking low and changing it to a high kick and boom! And the BJJ specialist showed the Muay Thai fighter how it should be done as he knocked him into next week. Game Over Oni Win’s in 25 seconds of Round One. It finished too dam fast for me to take any pictures!

Fight 7: Almas Abdullah Vs Tek Kai Wei
The crowd are very noisy at the start of this one, plenty of chanting. The atmosphere is very good here tonight.
Wei comes in with a Superman punch and they clinch, Abdullah has Wei backed against the fence, Wei is holding him tight, Abdullah is trying to take his back and then trying to get his legs, Wei manages to turn him round and trues for a leg trip. Abdullah manages to avoid everything and they disengage.
Wei throws a leg kick it barelly touches Abdullah, no damage done, Abdullah throws a one -two, mainly they are blocked. Abdullah is back against the fence, he throws a jab, they disengage again, Wei is looking for an uppercut, his stance is so obvious you wonder if he is trying to sell a dummy but No!, He throws a very well telegraphed but powerful upper cut that does not connect and they trade punches. Wei is getting the worst of it and he tries to take Abdullah down, he fails and Abdullah has him pushed up against the fence. Abdullah’s nose appears to be bleeding. They grapple against the fence, Abdullah throws some shots and he slips and then the ref stop’s the fight for the Doctor to check Abdulla’s nose. It’s an exciting fight so far.
The crowd is calling for the fight to continue but, sadly, the Doctor stops this fight and Tek Kai Wei win’s this fight due to Doctors Stoppage in 1:55 of Round One.
So at the half way point of the evening we still have not gone beyond the first round. While some of the fights were mismatches others were good bouts, we just need something to get beyond the first round.
The crowd are creating a great atmosphere.
So stay tuned for part 3 where we will carry on down the card.
