Andy Marinos vs Brandon Takahara
2011 kept me busy blogging up the local MMA fight scene. In fact there is far more going on now than I can cover. This year gave me the opportunity to shoot beside the ring and cage as one of the people closest to the action not actually in the ring. I wouldnt go to the all that effort if I couldnt share the most memorable moments in the local martial arts scene in BC with you. I crossed paths this year with eminent people in the sport like Neil Melanson, Irish Mickey Ward, Canadian Light Heavyweight Boxing Champion Junior Moar, Gabe Morency, Megaton Dias, and the legend, Royce Gracie. In general, I selected special moments, images that conveyed a technique, the grit of a fighter, or the camaraderie fighters share after a fight; there is glory, beauty and pain.

| Style | Weight | Win | Loss | Reason | |
| 1 | kickboxing | 150 | Amrit Dulla Bisla Martial Arts Surrey, BC | Keifer Harrison Team HAVOK Kelowna, BC. | Dulla dominated with front kicks and superior aggression each round, and wins by judges decision. |
| 2 | Kickboxing | 115 | James Chaplin Team KARMA, Vancouver, BC | Buneet Bisla Bisla Martial Arts Surrey. | A high spirited exhibition match between two young fighters. Both showed well. |
| 3 | Boxing | 170 | Palvir Atwall Bisla Martial Arts Surrey, BC | Marcel Rochfort Williams Lake Muay Thai. | Atwall wins by judges decision. He had a solid boxing strategy through the 3 rounds. Rochfort’s muay thai training didnt allow him to adapt fully to a boxing match. |
| 4 | kickboxing | 150 | Terrance Viloria Mendoza Fight Team Surrey, BC | Matias Garay Team KARMA Vancouver Vancouver, BC | Not an easy match for either fighter. The fight saw problems with issues such as illegal knees, striking after the bell, equipment malfunctions, missed kicks, and both fighters had to be refocused by the referee. Viloria showed better technical skills, while Garay was more of a brawler and ran out of gas in round 3 and Viloria got the win by judges decision. |
| 5 | kickboxing | 155 | Sunny Sandhu Bisla Martial Arts Surrey, BC | Brady Anderson Team HAVOK Kelowna, BC |
A passionate spirited match for both fighters, but Sandhu had more control manage to wear down Anderson by the third round. Lots of close in exchanges between these fighters. Win by judges decision. |
| 6 | kickboxing | 140 | Vik Johal Basi’s Lion’s Den Calgary | Nathan McGuire Team KARMA Vancouver Vancouver, BC | McGuire was not checking Johal’s aggressive kicking in round 1, McGuire’s corner brought him back into the fight through round 2. After the end of round 3, McGuire let his frustration show with his own performance and he knew that he could have done better than the majority decision that was handed to Johal. |
| 7 | Muay Thai | 170 | Novic Pavic Suitela Fight Club Surrey, BC | Feruz Madjitob Columbia Martial Arts Burnaby, BC |
In this match the fighters acted much more cagey, playing a range game in round 1. Pavic scores a knockdown at the end of round 2, and managed to wear out Madjitob before round 3 was out. Win by TKO. |
| 8 | kickboxing | 150 | Sherysse Hayward Team HAVOK Kelowna, BC | Veronica McNabb Perfection Kickboxing Surrey, BC | Hayward showed quickly that she was a much stronger fighter and the fight was stopped after 3 knockdowns in the first round. TKO. |
| 9 | kickboxing | 150 | Adjin Nazik Revlution Langley, BC |
Billy Ghumman Lion’s Den Calgary, AB | Nazik showed as a strong fighter, overwhelming Gumman in the fight, even with a good defense. Nazik wins by judges unanimous decision. |
| 10 | boxing | 185 | Mike Dowsett independent Chilliwack BC | Aman Aujla Bisla Martial Arts Surrey, BC | Mike Dowsett was also seen in an exciting fight recently at Rumble at the Rock. Playing the bad guy against local favourite, Dowsett and Aujila pumped out an exciting round one, crowd screaming. Dowsett is a strong, skilled, technical, and showy boxer, and Ajula is a younger fighter but even with the crowd behind him, he couldn’t avoid the knockdowns and inside moves Dowsett served up. |
| 11 | kickboxing | 210 | Lloyd Kenny Williams Lake Muay Thai Williams Lake BC | Darren Cheekinew Team Karma Vancouver | In round 2 Cheekenew was unable to return blows after holding up well. Round 1 they had good exchanges. But clearly Kenny got his number and put enough pressure on Cheekenew against the ropes to win. |
| 12 | kickboxing | 175 | Hardeep Saran Bisla Martial Arts Surrey, BC | Shawn Hunt Team HAVOK Kelowna, BC | Saran would win by TKO. Showing great intensity, Saran pushed too hard for Hunt to deal with. |

| 2 | Mike Dowcett | def | Paul Tyrl | 4 | Tyrl scores a knockdown in r1 but Dowcett comes back from it and fights well. Round 2 showed Dowcett’s skills and ended up in control over Tyrl for the balance of the round. Exciting boxing with a level of action that kept growing. Dowcett wins by split decision from the judges. |
| 3 | Dave Petryck | def | Antonio Dos Santos | 4 | Dave Petryck demonstrates his overhand right and gets two knockdowns in round 1 on Dos Santos, and kept him against the ropes in round 1. A right hook from Petryck in the second put Dos Santos down again. Third round DS worked more on Petryck but did not have control. The judges would cap this fight off with a unanimous decision for Petryck. |
| 4 | Ryan Stewart | def | Jeremy Phillips | 4 | Phillips controlled the first half the the match, but Stewart however had other plans. Putting Phillips against the ropes, 2:57 round 3 Stewart had him and ref stoppage. |
| 5 | Jamie Walton | def | Clayton Gladu | 4 | Big sluggers , overhand rights, went the distance to the judges, who would award it to Jamie Walton in a majority decision. |
| 6 | Andy Mavros | def | Kareem Martin Jr. | 4 | Mavros wins by TKO, knocking down Martin Jr in the dying seconds of the last round. Mavros’ victory was so much sweeter, winning his first professional fight, after a recent life threatening battle with cancer. |
| 7 | Junior Moar | def | Michael Walchuck | 10 | Reigning and defending Canadian Light Heavyweight Champion Junior Moar controlled the center of the ring in the early rounds of the 10 round match. Walchuck worked on Moar’s game, and Moar responded with much more power in round 7, clearly by the crowd’s response. The battle ramped it up towards the end, Walchuck taunting. Moar got the judges unanimous decision. |
Congratulations to Josh Jauncey on his victory over Guillermo Valpoort for his World Championship title.
