CWC - Nightmare full event report


WC no "Nightmare" for fans at King's Hall, BelfastBY BRIAN ELLIOTT ON NOV 30, 09 12:24 AM IN MMARich "No Love" Clementi (73kg, USA) proved to be a little too much for 23-year-old Chris "Menace 2 Society" Stringer (71.7kg, Northern Ireland) in the main event of Cage Wars Championship's "Nightmare" event, held at the King's Hall in Belfast, Northern Ireland.Clementi - the UFC veteran who has beaten the likes of UFC 106 semi-main event fighter Anthony Johnson - found it tough to connect with an elusive Stringer in the first round, but when he took the contest to the mat in the second, it was his fight for the taking, and Stringer was forced to tap out to a triangle choke in 3:1¹of the second round."I'm just so happy to be fighting in Ireland," said Clementi. "This is my fifth time out here, and I've finally got to fight. Chris stepped up a month ago (after Peter Duncan was injured), so that took balls. My hat's off to him."The ground game is my world, when I get on top that's when I win fights. But was a tough fight, and he's a tough kid."In an extraordinary result, Lee "The Dragon" McKibbin (84.5kg, Northern Ireland) took just 45 seconds to dismiss of veteran John "The Machine" Lober (82.7kg, USA) via submission. The manner of the tap-out was the most surprising of all, a standing guillotine choke which can rarely be applied with enough torque to force a submission."It's unbelievable," said McKibbin of the win. "My respect to John Lober, he's an amazing fighter. He's fought the best, and he's beaten the best."When he was going for the single-leg (takedown), I got one arm out and was looking to do the same with the other," he continued. "When I did that, I knew it (the guillotine) was on, so I finished it."Colin "The Gift" McKee's (78.9kg, Northern Ireland) uncompromising style proved to be too much for Neydson Santos Ferreira (74kg, Brazil), in what was the first of the night's three feature attractions.
