Congratulations to Matt And Wilson! Matt, who trains out of Daddis Training Centers in Philadelphia, won a unanimous decision against a very game opponent. Matt dominated the fight with beautiful Muay Thai and devastating body kicks. Matt is one of the few who utilizes body kicks effectively in MMA.
Wilson did business as usual, defeating a very game opponent from Greg Jackson’s Camp. Wilson controlled his opponent on the ground working his classic deep half guard sweeps and sneaky back takes.
