So Cal Pro Am DVD 2 Disc On May 24, 2003, 16 top grapplers (plus 3 alternates) from around the United States, came together to compete in a closed doo...
Long Beach, Ca - It would take little less then seven minutes Sunday night for wrestling standout Maurice “Syko” Eazel to erase the memory of his last outing to the ring just three months prior. Showing he could overcome adversity he would he finish Lion’s Den fighter Josh “The Hitman” Rabadeaux in one hell of a comeback fight.
Using his strikes and level changes effectively Eazel (6-10) would set up several highlight reel takedowns though out the match, every time Rabedeaux (5-2) would commit to a punch Eazel would just pick him up and dump him on his back. Once on the floor Eazel would use the top position to land hard punches that would wear Rabedeaux down and eventually force the ref to stop the fight.
In the co main event Jason “The Eternal” Meaders would need less then two rounds to take out CSW’s Evan “The Matrix” De Long.
Coming out strong Meaders (6-7) would seem to overpower De Long (6-3) wherever the fight would take place. On the feet he would land strikes at will and on the ground he would control the top position for the entire fight. Eventually Meaders would start to wear down De long using this strategy and in the second as De Long would take a shot from the outside he would run right into a Knee that would leave him KO’ed giving Meaders the victory.
