FFG 34 Review

Event Rating: 81.36
After a couple post 100 event ratings took a small step back by visting it's old stomping grounds at The Underground in Amsterdam. The rating may not have been the best, but the owner is happy anytime FFG puts on a show infront of a capacity crowd.

Frankestein Mir made had a very impressive FFG debut. Also Co-Main event

Sub of the Night: Lamb Chops
For Submission win over VJ Mathani, which also won Fight of the Night.

Fight of the Night: Lamb Chops vs. VJ Mithani
Both fighters were happy to fight to each other's strength as there wasn't a single strike thrown in this back and forth grappling battle. On the feet, Mithani had the better takedowns, landing a perfect 5 out of 5, but everytime he took the fight to the floor, it put a smile on the face of Lamb Chops who has finished 8 of his opponents by submission.

The two traded submissions for the bulk of the fight, collecting a ground total of 26 attempts. This continued into the third round when Lamb Chops finally latched ahold of an arm. Mithani couldn't escape the hold and was forced to tap to a beautiful armbar.

Co-Main Event: Frankestein Mir vs.Randy Rutten
Two promising young fighters went head-to-head in the co-main event of the evening. On paper, it seemed like it was going to be your classic striker vs. grappler, but Frankestein Mir had other ideas. Mir unleashed a previous unseen clinch game upon Rutten, controlling him and punishing him with strikes until he couldn't take anymore. After this fight people won't think of Mir as just a one trick submission artist anymore.

Main Event: Carribean Knight Vs. Alberto Moneymaker Jr. (MW non-title)
Desperate to get Middleweight Champion, Carribean Knight back into the FFG Cage. FFG picked up experienced, but undersized for Middleweight Alberto Moneymaker Jr. Undefeated in his previous 7 bouts, CK is not used to being pressured, and right off the bat he was pressured in this fight. Right of the bat, the two competitors furiously traded strikes, before Moneymaker made the mistake of bringing the fight to the ground. After a very brief struggle on the ground, CK was able to secure himself an armbar and pick up his eight straight victory and pull to 8-0.
