What an interesting night for UK MMA....
Rob Broughton cemented his status as the UK's best heavyweight with three victories in one night; a big org should be calling soon!
He submitted Neil Wain in Rd2 after the UFC vet used his heavy hands to score with some big shots in the first.
He knocked out James Thompson in the second round (who had beaten Tengiz in the 1st).
He beat up former Strongman Oli Thompson over three rounds but Thompson showed real heart and grit to hang in there.
Well done Rob.

hoping and praying that ZT puts on more one night tournaments in the future. I am a sucker for one night tournaments and by all accounts, this was a good one
They will be doing! The plan for the next one is light-heavyweight I believe.
Gutted I couldn't be there but will definitely make the next one. We had some of our guys in attendance to cover it etc. but it sounds like I missed a great night of action.
I'm with you there, I do like a tourney!
I was pulling for the Frate Wain
The real story is how MIDDLEWEIGHT Joe Vedepo (yea the guy who went 0-2 in the UFC) went 2-0 against the UK's best heavyweights.

Erm, yeah...you posted this on the other thread and I explained why you were wrong there.
BTW, I will admit his performance and gameness was impressive.
