after Yunker mentioned that he couldn’t see. Mentioning blood in your eyes or not being able to see is the same thing as asking for the fight to be stopped, and that is exactly what happened at 1:34 of Round 1. Impressive win for Spratt, who has now strung two impressive TKO wins in the first two HDNet Fights.



Official Result: Pete Spratt via TKO – Strikes (1:38 of Round 1).

Robert Villegas vs. Kyzysztof Soszynski (Light-Heavyweight Bout)



Round 1:

Robert Villegas is a home state native of Corpus Christi, Texas and is an obvious ground fighter having a black-belt in Judo and a brown-belt in Jiu-Jitsu. He faces off against Kyzysztof “The Experiment” Soszynski who is a Polish-Canadian fighter, who has been training with Dan Henderson and Team Quest in Temecula, CA. Soszynski who is a seasoned veteran of the IFL comes out looking to bang, as Villegas returns some leg kicks. Soszynski tries to clinch, but Villegas pushes him off. Soszynski, who has fought at heavyweight, appears to be the more powerful of the two fighters and keeps throwing combos right down the pipe. Villegas keeps dropping his hands in an old-school jiu-jitsu manner and pays for it with a hard right kick. Villegas deliver a low blow to Soszynski’s groin and lands two shots after the referee motioned to give Soszynski time to recover from the low blow. This prompts boos from the crowd toward Villegas, as he acts like he did nothing wrong. Soszynski is ready and appears pissed and turns this into a boxing match, where he obviously has the advantage. The round ends with Soszynski lands another right hand. OTM scores the round 10-9 for Soszynski.



Round 2:

Soszynski starts the second stanza by taking Villegas down, but immediately stand up as Villegas looks for a guillotine choke. As Soszynski stands Villegas goes for a heel hook, but Soszynski stays calm and spins out. Back on their feet, they feel each other out briefly, as Soszynski lands another takedown and stand up delivering kicks to Villegas’ legs until the referee stands him up. After being stood up, Villegas then sits to his butt, begging Soszynski to join him on the ground. The referee gives him a warning and Villegas is reluctant to stand back up. He stands and Soszynski lands more shots, which prompts Villegas to sit on his butt again. The crowd is understandably upset and rains boos down at Villegas as he appears to be showing no sign of wanting to fight. The referee gives Villegas a final warning and then waves off the fight, as Villegas refused to stand up and fight. Soszynski wins via DQ as Villegas showed no heart and refused to fight after getting beat up on the feet. To the many in attendance, seeing Villegas flop to his butt and refuse to fight when the ref asked him to stand was like watching a baseball player refuse to take his next at bat after striking out the inning before. Terrible effort on Villegas' part, but Soszynski was okay about picking up the win.



Official Result: Kyzysztof Soszynski via DQ – Refusal to Fight (3:15 of Round 2).





Alonzo Martinez vs. Yves Edwards (Lightweight Bout)



Round 1:

The former UFC #1 contender Yves Edwards will be fighting in his home state and brings his substantial 29-13-1 record and plethora of UFC, Pride, Bodog, and EliteXC experience to the ring against Omaha, Nebraska native Alonzo Martinez who has made a name for himself compiling a 20-8 record while fighting mostly in smaller Midwestern shows. Edwards and Martinez start by trading heavy leather in the center of the ring, as Edwards’ “thug-jitsu” gets the better of the exchanges. Edwards gets the takedown and goes to side control, where Martinez reverses the position. Edwards now uses his butterfly guard and lands a beautiful Sim Go’esque sweep from the butterfly guard. Edwards starts working from inside Martinez’s guard and pushes him up against the fence. The referee wants more action and stands both men up. Martinez pushed Edwards up against the cage, but Edwards briefly controls with double underhooks. Edwards gets the takedown and Martinez reverses and works from inside Edwards guard as the round ends. OTM scores the round 10-9 for Martinez.



Round 2:

The round starts with Martinez looking for a flying-knee that misses. Edwards counters by dropping Martinez with a hard left hand and pounds on Martinez from inside his guard. Martinez recovers and Edwards looks to pass to side control. He passes the half-guard to side control and mounts. Edwards starts dropping some heavy hands from the mount, which causes Martinez to turn and give up his back. Edwards wastes no time getting both hooks in and breaking Martinez down, turns him over and skinks the RNC for the tap out victory. Yves shows his colorful personality and sportsman ship, thanks his family, and his new team American Top Team in south Florida.
