It was a milestone event, for the San Diego MMA promotion, Total Combat. Under the clear sky of Balboa

Park's Starlight Theater, the five year old event was having it's 30th show. And what a show it was. Despite

issues with the state athletic commission, and under the watching eyes of skeptical SDPD officers, Diana

Ocampo and Erick Delfierro successfully brought Mixed Martial Arts to one of San Diego's most historic

venues. The all ages event was packed with fans both young and old. And the card delivered!

Total Combat 30 Recap

By Brian Piepenbrink

 

The main event featured two undefeated fighters, Edgar Garcia representing Yuma MMA and Waylon Kennel

fighting out of Unleashed Training Center. Both men had knock out power but many felt that Kennel's

superior ground game would win the day. The word "slugfest" is used all too often in the sports world, but it

is the only word that can truly describe this fight. The action was intense from the opening bell. Both men

landed huge shots while Kennel appeared to be getting the upper hand towards the middle of the round by

pounding Garcia's midsection with unrelenting knees. However; Garcia managed to keep down his lunch long

enough to begin cracking Kennel with a barrage of lefts and rights that knocked kennel out on his feet. The

crowd went wild as Kennel refused to fall despite being knocked around like a piņata. Kennel even managed

to throw a punch for every ten he took. Finally the ref came in and stopped the bout and saved Kennel from

his own toughness. Rumor has it the Kennel was sick prior to the fight, but regardless of who won this

outing, fans can only hope to see a second act.

 

Speight and David Garner put on a grappling clinic. Speight, disappointed due to getting bumped from the

Affliction card two weeks prior, decided to take out his frustrations on the all American wrestler. Despite a

variety of submission attempts and some decent punches during the brief periods where both fighters were

on their feet, Speight could not finish the tenacious Gardner. The fight went to a decision in favor of Speight

who admitted it was his toughest fight to date.

 

Many casual fans will say that the fight of the night was the main event, due to it's uncanny resemblance to

a Rocky Movie. The more seasoned vets of MMA will probably point to the Josh Williams, Mike DelaTorre

fight where the technical back and forth tested the hearts of both men. Josh Williams, a purple belt under

Charlie Kohler, went from position to position as he attempted to submit the game DelaTorre. However, the

south San Diegan would not go so quietly into the night as he showed an impressive array of escapes and

even launched some offense of his own by way of leglock attempts and some ground and pound, which split

open the face of Mr. Williams. Finally, with both men running on empty, Williams secured a rear naked

choke in the second round. Like the main event this fight is worthy of a rematch.

 

The night did have some surprises. Tony Valarde dispatched Jose Rodriguez quicker than he did in their first

fight. A hard left hand caught Rodriguez right on the chin and put him to sleep. The anticipated rematch

between Joshric Fenwick and Rolando Perez was canceled by the California State Athletic Commission on

medical grounds. And CEO, Diana Ocampo announced that Total Combat signed a national television deal

and the first televised show will be September 20th in Yuma Arizona. Overall a terrific night of fights in

America's Finest City.
