Ahmad Douglas v Tobiaus Taylor at FNF 10

Ahmad Douglas climbs in the cage for the 4th time in less than a year this time to face off with Tobiaus Taylor, the younger brother of former NAAFS Lightweight Champion Torrance Taylor.  Ahmad has kept a busy schedule.  Running his record to 3-0 since his MMA debut last October, he’s also managed to squeeze in a couple of wrestling tournaments and a smoker or two (and he doesn’t miss classes).  One of the youngest members of the GR Amateur Fight Team (he’s actually still under some age restrictions), Ahmad, faces different challenges from his older team members.  Aside from a full study schedule at Lakeland Community College, Ahmad puts in long hours at his family’s restaurant.

What: Fight Night in the Flats 10
Date: June 7, 2014
Where: Jacobs Pavilion, 2014 Sycamore St Cleveland OH 44113
When: Doors Open at 5 PM, Event Starts at 6 PM
Tickets: Contact Ahmad Douglas through GriffonRawl or on Facebook HERE

Ahmad’s opponent is Tobiaus Taylor, a 4-1 lightweight out of the very tough Rising Dragon camp.  A striker like his older brother Torrance, Tobiaus likes to grind out the wins, working a careful and technical game.  Three of his wins are Unanimous Decisions, the other being a 2nd round TKO.  His sole loss was a late 3rd round armbar to the much more experienced RJ Buck (11-4 at the time).  This will be a very competitive fight.

GR always sends a strong contingent to Fight Night in the Flats.  We’ve been the main event there more than once.  Be sure to contact Ahmad either at GR or on his Facebook page for tickets

Intimidation Clothing will sponsor Ahmad for this fight:

Comer Fights for Driven MMA

On March 1st, George Comer charges back into the cage for the first time since his July win over Brian Camozzi at Fight Night in the Flats.  This time George heads to Canton for Driven MMA’s inaugural event.  Drive MMA is the rebranded Pro division of NAAFS, so it’s not totally unfamiliar territory.  While this is George’s first fight ‘out of town’,  at 70 miles, Canton isn’t far enough to keep George’s rabid fans from making the trip.

George Comer is a wrestling machine.  With a total fight record of 12-1, 9 of his wins were grinding decisions.  He’s been mixing it up since turning pro (3-1) with half of his wins via submission.  His opponent, Anthony Morgan, who started his career as a 185# and didn't really settle in as a 155 until the start of 2013, carries a 12-5 overall record, and is undefeated as a pro (3-0).   With 4 wins by tko, 4 by sub, and 3 by decision (his losses are a mixed bag as well) Morgan is a well balanced fighter.  They have one opponent in common: Stephen Singleton.  Comer beat Singleton last March by Arm Triangle Choke at 1:37 of round 2.  Morgan beat Singleton in October by Guillotine Choke at 2:28 of round 1.

As usual George will be sporting Intimidation Clothing gear to the cage.
