PS
LMAO at Jeff Curran calling out Miguel Torres at the Hammond civic Center of all places. Win a fight at Bantamweight before you call out the king.
Congrats to C3 as well landing a TV deal is big news. C3 will now be broadcast on Comcast SportsNet Chicago.
Too slow of pace. Main event started at 12:30 am.
They need to find a ring that will prevent fighters from falling out every 30 seconds.
Otherwise it was a good show.

We'll have results posted shortly. Thanks to all who attended and participated
Duneland Vale Tudo went 3-0 on the night, and all three fighters looked very impressive.
Josh Shockley improved to 7-0-1 last night with a very fast victory over Zach Konkle. Konkle was a last minute replacement as Shockley's original opponent Jim McCarville did not make weight and pulled out the day of the fight. Shockley scored well standing and finished the fight in under 20 seconds with a huge slam.
Eddie Wineland defeated Wade Choate via tko mid way through the first. In a very crisp and high paced bout Eddie scored the better shots standing. Choate was dropped twice by straight rights while throwing leg kicks. The second of which resulted in Eddie finishing the fight via strikes from rear mount. Probably the sharpest I've seen Eddie look.
Darren Elkins improved to 8-0-0 with a hard fought decision win over previously undefeated Pat Curran. Curran won the first stanza, stuffing most of Darren's takedown attempts and getting the better of the punching exchanges along with scoring several powerful body knees. Conditioning seemed to play a big factor in the second and third as Darren scored takedowns in each round and rained down a relentless ground and pound attack. This was a grueling and very competive fight, props to Curran who looks to be a very solid young lightweight. As for Darren, this guy at 8-0-0 is due for some big fights. Hopefully we'll be seeing this guy in some larger venues in 2009.

Congrats to all the fighters on last night's card. Everyone fought their hearts out before a great crowd of 3,500 fans. Here is what was found about C3 on a Sherdog Forum.
"November 22nd featured Chicagoland/NW Indiana's greatest local MMA event ever witnessed live in the area. Featuring names such as Jason Guida, Eddie Wineland, Pat Curran, and local favorite Jared "The Spider" McMahan, C3 Domination delivered a powerful punch.
The first fight of the night featured Gilber Grappling's Dan Benoit, brother of WEC vet Joe Benoit. He defeated his opponent Adam Gourley in the first round by TKO.
Second fight delivered as Team Corral's Ryan Brown, crowd favorite landed big shots on opponent Jake Himes, as the fight ended on the ground. From top position, Ryan Brown began to ground and pound until Jake Himes gave up his back. Brown softened him up with more punches so he could get the rear naked choke. Himes passed out as the ref pulled Brown off to declare it a technical submission victory.
Next in line was Kenny Robertson vs Levon Maynard. After a stand up war on Levon's part, and a wrestling clinic on Robertson's, Kenny Robertson took the decision.
Mark Rosenick entered the ring to fight Ryan Williams. The second round came, and was ended by Ryan Williams taking Rosenick's back and submitting him with a rear naked choke.
Aung La Nsang, KOTC vet faced up against Steve Dau in the 205 pound division. Dau dominated the first round with takedowns and punches. The second round came in, and much of the same happened, until slightly over a minute and a half in, Aung La Nsang pulled off an armbar from his guard very quickly and Dau had nothing to do but tap.
In the next fight, 19 year old Josh Shockley continued his undefeated MMA career. He shot on his opponent Zachariah Konkle, lifted him on his shoulders, and slammed him to the canvas ala Matt Hughes, winning by TKO due to slam in just 15 seconds of the fight.
The following fight was for the C3 Bantamweight title. Elton Chavez faced Jon Hossman, both very experienced fighters in the division. Jon Hossman quickly submitted Elton Chavez by armbar in just 22 seconds of the first round, winning the C3 title.
Next featured the former WEC Bantamweight champion Eddie Wineland. He faced a tough Wade Choate. After standing with Wineland and getting rocked several times, Choate wanted no part of Wineland's hard punching as he was dropped more than once in the first round. He layed on his back wanting Wineland to go to the ground, but Wineland had none of it. Again with a hard punch, Wade Choate hit the ground, as Wineland went on top and threw punches, causing Wade Choate to tap from strikes in the first round.
Boban Simic faced Arnold Adams in the heavyweight division. Both fighters stood up and threw with eachother, rocking both. Boban seemed to be on the losing end and had several cuts on his face, until he threw a hard punch literally knocking Arnold Adams out of the ring. The fight was called a knockout, as Arnold Adams said he was fine and just happened to fall out of the ring. The ref continued with his decision, and Boban was declared the victor.
Next fight was C3 Welterweight champion and EliteXC vet Deray Davis of Team Corral taking on Gilbert Grappling's Jay Buck. The first round, Jay Buck tried hard to take Deray down, but Deray managed to stay on his feet and rock Jay Buck with hard punches, knees, and kicks. In the round, Deray ended up mounting Buck and threw punches until the round ended. Second round came in as Deray rocked Buck with a head kick and more hard punches. A fatigued Jay Buck continued to shoot in, but had a very difficult time taking Deray down. Deray again stayed in top position in his fight and dominated the stand up war. Third round came as Buck finally managed to get on top of Deray and threw punches from guard, moved onto half guard, and then full mount. He tried to sink in a choke but was unable to, so he continued to punch. Deray held on for the round to end, as the fight was scored 29-28 by all 3 judges, as Deray Davis kept his title.
Darren Elkins of Duneland Vale Tudo faced off in a 155 pound title defense against Pat Curran, cousin of Jeff and featured on the show Tapout. The fight started out with Curran getting the best of Elkins on the feet, as the wrestler Darren Elkins was unable to take Curran down to the ground. Second and third round, he was, and he landed big shots on Curran from his guard. Curran was not able to submit Elkins or sweep him, as Elkins stayed busy on top position as a grinder and threw hard punches for the 2nd and 3rd round, winning the decision (29-28) over Pat Curran and keeping his belt.
The Co-Main Event started as the very experienced Jason Guida faced off against 4-0 Matt Sassolino for the C3 Light-Heavyweight title. Jason Guida rocked Sassolino on the feet out wrestled him as well, taking the first round. Matt Sassolino turned it up a notch in round 2 with heavy punches, strong wrestling, and showed his conditioning. He landed big shots on Guida to take the second round. Third round came as it looked similar to the second, however Matt Sassolino hit even harder, as Guida appeared to be more fatigued. The fight ended in a split decision, favoring Matt Sassolino, the new C3 LHW Champion.
The main event started with hometown favorite Jared "The Spider" McMahan (9-0-1) vs 10-8 MMA, 36-0 kickboxer Eugene Crisler in the 135 pound division. Jared was formerly the 145 pound C3 Champion however left it to drop down a weight class. Eugene Crisler came out to the ring first looking ready to make his name in Jared's backyard. After his entrance, the lights dimmed even more, as Jared McMahan entered. During his walk out, the arena was well lit from cameras flashing. Jared McMahan entered the ring as the audience chanted his name, being by far the most popular fighter on the card. The fight started out as both exchanged punches. After some exchanges, the kickboxer did not want much of Jared on the feet after being hit several times with hard shots to the head and body. He tried to take Jared down but was unsuccesful. Second round came looking much like the first fight, as Crisler being a purple belt in Brazilian Jiu Jitsu went to his back to see if Jared would follow. Jared being a purple belt as well, had no problem doing so. Jared landed shots from top and avoided all submissions. Jared passed his guard and threw more hard shots, looking for submissions on his own, but was more working the ground and pound than anything. With 10 seconds left of the 2nd round, Crisler rolled Jared over and threw a few shots before the ref stepped in for the end of round 2. Round 3 came out with both fighters on the feet, exchanging once again. Both landing punches, Jared threw a hard shot that dropped Crisler back, as Jared went in while Crisler looked to catch McMahan in a submission. Jared once again defended, took better position, then was rolled over into his guard. Quickly after, Jared loaded an armbar, then switched to a triangle. While Crisler was defending the triangle choke, Jared took his other arm showing his submission skills and put on an Inverted Armbar, causing Eugene Crisler to tap out at 2:55 in the 3rd round, and bumping his record up to 10-0-1."
