Sebastian Taylor via Triangle Choke at 2 min 17 sec into round one.

Fight went to the ground almost immediately with Taylor working his way to a Triangle attempt early in the first minute of the fight. Morris was gallant in attempt to fend of the impending submission and showed tremendous heart. Taylor looked comfortable and relaxed (despite his youth at just 16 years old) and continued to work to tighten the triangle. Morris had no option but to tap out resulting in Taylor winning the title fight at 2 minutes & 17 second into round 1.

Both fighters are just in their teens & had our UFC Competitor Kyle Noke quoting that these guys were the future of Australian MMA.

Chris Bridgewater - Modern Warrior Brisbane QLD •VS• Greg Atzori Integrated Martial Arts Hervey Bay QLD Greg Atzori via Ref Stoppage at 3 minutes & 03 seconds into Round Two

Round # 1 – Both fighters gave their title shot the best efforts anyone could have imagined! Both fighters pushed the tempo as they got the fight started off with a decent exchange of jabs & leg kicks. With Atzori attempting an Arm bar submission, but Bridgewater slipped out of it, to stand up and finish round one with an epic slug fest!

Round # 2 - Bridgewater was taken to the ground early to start round two. With Atzori in a dominant ground position, Bridgewater struggled to find a good way to defend the barrage of punches that was coming his way.

Finally the fight was called to an end by Ref Pete Hickmott who could not see a way out for Bridgewater resulting in Atzori winning the Australian Lightweight Title at 3 minutes & 03 seconds into round 2.
