Nick Compton Driller SEG Featherweight CHAMP!
September was a busy month for The Academy MMA team. Lots of fantasy football line ups and fall jacket shopping trips took place…But in all seriousness many Fighters took to the cage over the last 4 weeks.
Sept. 14th had Andre “Diva” Tieva take a main event victory in La Crescent, MN while Muay Thai Ace Andrew Kapel took home a win up in Bismarck, ND. Both guys are well rounded, but both finished their fights by Submission in the opening rounds.
On Sept. 20th a big fight card took place at Canterbury park in Shakopee, MN where amateur fighters Jason Huntley, Dylan Murphy, and George Spears were in action. Professionals that night from the squad were Donald Williams, Mikey Zimmer, and Nick Compton. Jason Huntley took home a 1st round submission and Nick Compton tops a tough Matt veal in the nights main event for the Driller promotion featherweight title. Compton won via unanimous decision. Others from the Academy team had admirable efforts in their contests.
Nick Kirk vs Joe Warren… The fight that was, then wasn’t, then was again. After getting delayed 3 weeks due to Warren not passing pre fight medicals, the fight took place September 27th in Portland, OR. “The big hurt” got the better of the stand up battle in both 1st and 2nd rounds, but Warren, a World champion in freestyle wrestling landed takedowns and caught Kirk in an armbar late in round 2.
October looks to be a little less eventful. but with a bunch of young hungry fighters in the gym, who knows what could happen. STAY TUNED!
