The Juggernaut Stops Lighty at Strikeforce Evolution!
December 20th, 2009
In the so-called-experts eyes, Antwain didn’t stand a chance against Scott “Lights Out” Lighty.Being the home town boy, a former K1 kickboxer, and Chuck Liddel’s sparring partner, gave Lighty a huge advantage over the up and coming Antwain Britt. According to the experts, Lighty should have ran thru the Virginia based Antwain Britt with little problem.
I guess “The Juggernaut” didn’t get the memo.
In his most spectacular fight to date, Antwain swarmed on the ill prepared Lighty, catching him early with a right hand that set the beginning to the end. The game plan going into the fight, devised by Coach Buck Grant, was to put pressure on the K1 veteran, closing the distance to shut down Lighty’s kicks using Britt’s revamped footwork, and utilize his blazing hand speed to either knock him out or earn a takedown.
The plan was executed flawlessly by the always composed “Juggernaut” as he dropped Lighty several times against the cage, then rode his hips on the ground while administering his superb ground and pound skills.
When brought back to the feet, Britt proceeded to block every desperate attempt of Lighty’s to stop the fight via head kick, a technique which Lighty has used in the past to stop earlier opponents. Britt quickly made Lighty pay with his quick hands and footwork over and over again for the entire first round.
Lighty was unable to answer the bell and the referee is forced to stop the fight in between rounds.
The official striking stats were an astounding 92 strikes for Antwain, compared to 5 strikes for Lighty. Statistically a blowout. Physically a dominating performance.
Team Hybrid would like to thank Antwain’s main sponsor, Untamed Industries, as well as his manager Pat Militech, Full Tilt Poker and the entire Team Hybrid rooster for rallying behind “The Juggernaut.”
This is a huge accomplishment for Team Hybrid and Antwain Britt. He not only won, he made a statement. Never underestimate MMA on the East Coast and especially in Virginia.
Congratulation Antwain. Way to close out the fight season for Team Hybrid!
