Christopher Jackson vs Baily Lopp - Draw
Vanesh Sing - Win by judges decision
Joe Magallonas - Win by Knock Out
Mike Jackson - Win by tap out ( triangle choke )
Booker H - Loss by decision 82-84 ( The best fight of the evening besides Christopher and Baily )
Marcus Kovach - No Show
 
Who is Booker ? Booker is a student of a one my long time instructors and friend Allesandro Ashanti ( www.fullcirclejujitsu.com ),  we had a no show from one of our fighters. This 18 year old kid who trains in something completely different style that does not focus on the competition side of martial arts at all stepped up out of no where to make sure we had another fighter. He had to borrow everything ( mouthpiece, cup, gloves, shin guards ) he was there has a spectator not a fighter. This kid showed the most incredible fighting spirit I had ever scene. He pulled at least 5 very technical/classical take downs, and some very nice kicks. Very competitive bout. The crowd was very enthusiastic about this bout. Booker vomited twice and STILL fought on, he was absolutely dead tired, and had NEVER done anything like this before. He lost by 2 points in the last round due to an arm bar. I believe the fight would have been draw if the arm had not occurred. An absolutely incredible fight of heart and courage and I want to thank Booker and Allesandro for stepping up and helping us out like that in short notice. Truly showed what the martial spirit was about. Spectators, Fighters, Instructors where all giving Allesandro and Booker the respect deserve for such a heart fought battle.
 
Christopher Jackson vs Baily Lopp : these 6 year old fighter where so electrifying. I had at  least 2 parents and several kids ask me where my school is. That there children do not get that type of training. There was even more praise once interested people realised that they are Dojo Brothers ( classmates from the same school ). These kids fought in front of a large crowd with absolut courage. No ego, having a hard fight but still taking care of each other and showing the class of true sportsmanship at the end.

Sifu Joe Jackson : This was the man behind scenes. He has personally trained me for this fight working my corner and the corner of our other fighters he had very little knowledge on. Besides his cornering, Joe came with his " Stick and Move " family and has huge sign of support. ( www.stickandmove.org )
 
The Teachers : It was quite a night for me personally has well, My present and past teachers where there for cornering ( Joe Jackson , Victor Candall( my grappling coach ) and a few others. Dr. Z Lo had 2 fighters that night, Allesandro Ashanti was present with his his students, and of course the promoter Bill Holland is one of my teachers has well. to have them all in one room at the same time was surreal.
 
The Buena Park Martial Art Family : I have to say I know I had the most spectators from any one school. And for all of you who showed and cheered, for me showed true dedication to what we are about at BPMA, the brotherhood felt by all of you that evening was unbelievable, and for all of you who cheered in spirit I want to thank as well, it was a great evening.
