Until next month, Chris Blanke “The Juggernaut’s” Iron Man Performance in ArubaSeptember 9th, 2009Vendetta Fighting Championships Aruba, September 5th Antwain Britt and Coach Grant traveled to the island of Aruba to compete in an 8 man, mixed martial arts, light heavyweight tournament Saturday, September 5th. facing world class competition, “The Juggernaut” was able to defeat two opponents that night before losing in the finals. Carmelo Morero, a UFC veteran was Antwain’s first opponent. Britt was able to pick Morero apart and fight off the wrestlers attack by keeping him off balance with superior lateral footwork and lightning fast hand speed. Though Morero scored a take down in the second, forcing the fight into an over time round, Antwain’s attributes allowed him to control the range of the fight, winning by unanimous decision. In the second round of the tournament, Antwain battled Richard Hale, a 6 ft 4in specimen of an athlete with outstanding footwork and tremendous reach. Britt’s footwork once again dictated the fight, allowing him to bridge the distance quickly and land is hand combinations. it was a classical match up of boxer versus kick boxer where the boxer in Britt prevailed by unanimous decision, though sustaining a cut underneath his left eye. In the finals, after hours of fighting and waiting, Antwain lost to Rodney Watson from Team R.O.C of North Carolina by armlock round 1. Not many fighters can claim to have a fought in tournament style MMA. Antwain showed amazing resolve, perseverance, and intestinal fortitude as he battled 3 men in one night. Outstanding job Juggernaut. Next stop…STRIKEFORCE IN OCTOBER! GO TEAM HYBRID!
