Big Thanks to Miguel for taking the time to give Young Joey a thorough bang up for 5 rounds!
We can not say enough about Miguel and his great bunch of people! He made the Aussies feel very Welcome.

AUSSIES REPRESENT IN CHICAGO!!!!!!
The Boys from Melbourne stamped their mark in Chicago on Saturday night @ Toyota Park which is located on the Southside of Chicago.
The Team went 2 for 3 on the night!
Ash "The Executioner" Powell started the action @ 145 lbs (66kg) completely dominating his opponent Anthony Goodwin of Illinois who has a record of 18-3 and 3 title belts in 3 seperate organisations. Anthony is an experienced wrestler but Ash shutdown his takedown attempts and an early armbar and controlled the action on the ground w/ strong Jitz and superior GnP. Great UPD victory for Ash making Coach Carl and the rest of the Team proud while giving his wife Heidi a sore throat as the lone Aussie in the crowd.
Next up was Joey "Lucky Luciano" Hooke 2 155lbs (70kg)who stood and traded w/ a tough experienced Alex White (8-0) from Missouri. Joey and Alex had a war for the 1st rd trading blows in a MuayThai battle that never went to the ground. Alex moved forward like a demolition machine as Joey stuck and moved delivering nice low chopping kicks to the legs and body. The 2nd rd started hot and Joey got caught in a scramble and guillotine choke on the fence and Alex of the USA finished the submission. Great fight! Joey did us proud fighting w/ heart against a great opponent. We all thought Alex was the star of Team USA as we Aussies love a stand up warrior!
Jeremy "BroTown" Wharerau could not have done anything more convincing to show what the boys from DownUnda can do by taking on BJJ man Shawn"Big Heart" Jackson @ 205lbs(93kg) 10-2 record. Jez came out firing and landed 2 hard straight rights that stunned the big grappler and pounced to sink a school yard rear naked choke w/ no hooks in that was deep and tight to finish in 26 seconds!! Ed almost fell into the cage as he climbed the fence screaming(so out of character). Great result.
The MMA Sports Federation put on a great event in a great venue outdoors on a nice balmy Chicago night. We look forward to seeing it on the screen.
Team Irish had a great run winning 2 out of 4 while Team Poland was shutout by the USofA 0-3.
Lots of fun and a great international sense of goodwill- everybody having a cold one after the fights.
