Team Absolute had another great tournament tonight! Rockwell put on a great charity event that was a blast to attend and compete in.
I managed to take 1st in the Absolute Gi division. I had an awesome match in the finals with warrior Jacob South, (picture bottom right) and barely survived the wicked tricky guard of Richard Cesena. As well as two of my Absolute MMA brethren, Riley Peterson, and Braeden Kilpack.
The highlight of the event though, was the epic paper-rock-scissors battle for 1st place in the 205lb. division between Jacob and myself.
Mr. South had just fought through the 205lb. No-Gi division (1st place), the Absolute No-Gi division (1st place), and then in our finals match, the Absolute Gi division. And we were the only ones in the 205lb. Gi division. So, seeing as how we had just fought, we were both exhausted, and because of the tournament format we would have to fight best out of three, we decided to have a best of three ro-sham-bo contest. Oddly enough, the crowd seemed more into that battle, than any other match that evening!
Needless to say... I arose the victor, coming back from a loss in the first round, (his rock smashed my scissors) to a win with paper, then finishing via rock. The crowd went WILD!
Congrats to all my team mates, and the awesome competition that showed up for the event. Also thanks to Rockwell, and everyone who came out to support the fighters, we couldn't do it without you guys.
