OC Kickboxing & Mixed Martial Arts fighter and MMA Instructor Travis Thompson of Costa Mesa, CA finished Dan Fair at the Gladiator Challenge Vision Quest Pro Am MMA event via Knockout after only 16 seconds of the first round.

Thompson, a Purple Belt in Brazilian Jiu Jitsu never got a chance to demonstrate his ground fighting skills in this Pro MMA bout at Soboba Casino.

Thompson (an orthodox fighter) scooped the right jab of Fair (a South paw) and returned a solid right hand of his own, stunning Fair. He then stepped in for another right cross sending Fair to the canvas where Thompson finished with more punches to his downed opponent’s head.

OC Kickboxing & Mixed Martial Arts fighter Darren Smith of Anaheim, CA defeated Victor Miranda at the Gladiator Challenge Vision Quest Pro Am MMA event via a unanimous decsion.

It was an exciting night Sunday as Darren Smith entered the cage. From the outset it was obvious that Darren was the bigger and stronger of the two. After a lot of cage pressure and ground and pound, Smith was able to secure the rear mount as he pounded Miranda in round one.

This scenario played out again in round two and three as Smith took Miranda down from every position, pounded him on the ground and attempted submissions via rear choke. Cecil Peoples, the referee, almost stopped the contest a few times but Victor Miranda held on and toughed it out.

OC Kickboxing & Mixed Martial Arts entered two competitors in the Gladiator Challenge Vision Quest Pro MMA event at Soboba Casino in San Jacinto, CA. Both came home with convincing victories.

Fighting first, Darren Smith won all three rounds decisively and scored a unanimous decision.

OCKMMA Instructor Travis Thompson knocked out his opponent at only 16 seconds into the first round.

Tryout results from the 2010 College Cage Series: Darren had a great and very close first fight and was supposed to advance along with his opponent but was eliminated due to production time constraints. Bobby was submitted via guillotine in the second round. Beto KO’d his first opponent and advanced to the second round where he suffered a knee injury.

Great fights boys…
