XCFL had their debut event last night, and quite frankly, I was impressed.

Quick results from GFL “Proving Grounds.”

Paddy Thompson knocked out Jose Valentin in the AFO main event on Saturday night to retain his welterweight title in impressive fashion. While the event was hurt by a few injuries and cancelled bouts, all the guys that fought delivered good action and the crowd was into it, with Thai Nguyen, Joe Lamoureaux, and Paddy “Thunder Kitten” Thompson getting the biggest support from the fans.

Derek Constable provides some event coverage from an event in PA last week that featured some familiar names like Randy Smith and Spencer Paige.

Friday was Combatzone’s 30th show at Rockingham Park in Salem, NH with Dennis Olson vs. John Manley headlining the event. The show had many battles going back and fourth with a lot of blood and guts shown by every fighter. Here is how the night went.

Bad weather didn’t stop a huge crowd of fight fans from showing up Saturday night at the Jungleplex in Plymouth for another installment of Cage Fighting Xtreme. CFX 6 “Rumble in the Jungle 2″ featured 16 fights in total with 5 amateur and 11 pro bouts, including a highly anticipated heavyweight main event between Christian Morecraft and Josh Diekman.

Traffic was lighter than normal, and the bartender allowed me to buy two beers at a time at the Palladium, so the night is off to a strong start. They have 14 fights on the show tonight, and its 7:45 as they are kicking things off.

Review by Gregg Snyder

CFX returned on Saturday night with their 5th show: Mayhem in Mansfield. Their last card was an ambitious outdoor event that ended prematurely due to bad weather, but CFX 5 showed why the promotion has emerged as a big local player. The event went off without a hitch, giving the large crowd 17 entertaining fights from bantamweight to super heavy.

Gregg Snyder reviews his first event for NorthEastMMA…I know, I know…that’s makes Greg Pomfred, Greg Saks and Gregg Snyder…I can’t help it if the guys wanting to write for the site all have the same name. Good review, and we’re glad to have another Gregg to submit content.

Something came up last minute and I was unable to get to the event, but I’m watching it on the internet. I talked to someone there and they said the crowd is about as big as last time. As the show opened up, they said the Guerin vs. Hood fight is off because Hood injured himself warming up. This has to be a nightmare for the ASC promoters. They are now down to only 6 fights.

Last Saturday, hosted FullForce’s 29th show at the Best Western Royal Plaza Trade Center in Marlborough, MA. The night had a full house, two titles on the line and some of the areas best putting their undefeated records on the line. Here is how the night went.
