WFC 2: Bad Boys - Beebe, Silva, Olivier and Krecicki claim championship belts
Jul 11, 2011
(PRESS RELEASE) -- WFC2 delivered an all action night of fights
from Grundy Park in Cheshunt, Hertfordshire that exceeded
everyone's already high expectations.
Four new champions were crowned and the rest of the card delivered a mixture of knockouts, submissions and hard fought three round battles.
Highlights of the undercard included a dominant performance from
Tommy "Twogunz" Maguire who took no time at all in pounding out
Danny Fletcher in just forty seconds and a textbook triangle choke
from the always dangerous Dino Gambatesa as he put David Haggstrom
away in the second round of their bout.
Knockout of the evening had to go to Team Hellboy prospect Jack Hermansson as he wasted no time in dispatching Andor Filo with some scintillating punches in just twenty eight seconds.
Underdog Robert Krecicki took home the light heavyweight gold with a great performance against Toni Valtonen in which he used a relentless game to shut down his opponent. Valtonen, much to his credit, never stopped coming forward but his attacks were neutralised as Krecicki held out and took home the belt.
Claudio Silva built on his grappling tournament victory at Submission 1000 last weekend by taking home the middleweight title when Matt Ewin was forced to submit in the second round due to injury. Ewin suffered an injured groin in a fight that saw him taken down but scramble repeatedly from the bottom.
The bantamweight title bout was over in a heartbeat as former WEC bantamweight champion Chase Beebe took care of ATT's Ralph Acosta in forty one seconds thanks to a vice like guillotine choke.

every second of the way as he came through a bloody battle with

tight looking submissions and showed his trademark excellent
wrestling to tough his way to victory.
