Also guys we are looking for a local 70kg fighter that would like to step up and face Nathan Frost.......This guy must be a machine as we can't find anyone to match him up with.
Edited: Cancel that guys Nathan Frost (The Academy) will be facing a tough opponent in Guy Hennequin (Boxing Works Sydney) in what should be a very interesting matchup at under 65kg.
Some great matches!
Xavier vs Matt Cain will be awesome! For those in the west who haven't heard much of Matt or IMA, he trains with Kyle Noke, Danny Higgins and Adrian Pang. Sherdog has him at 6-3-1, with wins over Jon Valuri, Jon Leven and Brad Thompson. Great main event!
Looking forward to seeing Isaac Tisdell again, he is a machine, tough opponent for him against Zac Lawson!
November 30 is my birthday btw, so you're buying if I see you there :)
Best regards,
Gerald.
All the best to the fighters and promoters on what should be a great event.
Im certain that our boys at IMA QLD will bring home some new supporters after they fight. All the best Matt and Tony.

Results?
Well guys it was a huge night once again as SuperFight Australia pulled out all the big guns and delivered a stacked end of year card featuring 11 MMA action packed fights.
Arena Joondalup provided the perfect setting for this event with its tiered seating and open floor space allowing great views.
Ryan Scott (Academy) vs Kurt McLaughlin (Eclipse MA)
Great first fight with both guys coming out hard from the bell. Ryan using his reach and knee's to tag his opponent, while Kurt threw some heavy punches that connected well.
Ryan’s reach advantage in the thai clinch was doing him well as he put Kurt down for an 8 count after a series of knees. Kurt recovered well and came back aggressively with a big right hook and close guillotine attempt, before securing a rear choke for the submission win.
Chris Indich (Beston Gracie) vs Michael Turner (SA)
Another fantastic fight as these two heavyweights put on a wrestling and ground n pound display. After a brief clinch the fight went to the ground where Chris showed some very heavy hands and a tight anaconda choke attempt.
Again on the ground Chris was holding the dominant position well with a strong sprawl and tight head lock while working the knees.
The 2nd round saw Michael come out quick using his thai clinch and long kicks well and Chris replying with huge hooks. Non stop action in this round with both guys giving it their all before Chris Indich managed to get on top position in the half guard and land big shots until the ref stopped the fight with only seconds to go.
Nathan Frost (Academy) vs Guy Hennequin (Boxing Works)
Very fast lightweight match with both guys throwing everything they had from the opening bell. A clinch and scramble got the fight on the ground where Nathan showed some beautiful Bjj and locked in a triangle choke but Guy replied with a slam that Nathan shut down well by under hooking the leg and transitioning for the armbar win.
Scott Mapley vs Michael Morcombe
Michael goes in straight for the clinch after a big push kick attempt and gets his opponent Scott to the ground where he passes guard and secures mount while throwing punches. Scott rolls to turtle and Michael gets his hooks in but cant finish the choke when Scott stands up with Mike on his back causing the ref to separate for a stand up.
Scott use’s his striking well but Mike gets a good hip throw that puts his opponent down again before Michael locks on a very tight armbar that gets him the win.
Connell Sinclair vs Cameron Murcutt
These two 93kg Heavy hitters square off and get straight into it. Connell being the more experienced fighter and this being Cams pro debut didn’t seem to matter as Cameron turned up the pressure early with some great big right hands and strong clinch work.
Cameron being the more aggressive fighter using his loopy overhand right to good effect before throwing a right straight down the middle to catch Connell on the chin for the KO win in the 1st round.
Isaac Tisdell vs Zac Lawson
Both guys come out cautious to start with before Isaac starts works his leg kicks well and Zac begins stalk his opponent and letting his hands fly. Zac has a nice guillotine attempt that he turns into a strong takedown to side control. With Zac’s superior wrestling he maintains some great ground control moving into mount before Isaac rolls and gives his back before a desperate back slam to get Zac off leads to the rear choke being locked in for Zac’s 2nd pro win.
Alex Shevstov vs Tatsuro Kamei
Very tough fight for both guys. Tatsuro working his guard game beautifully while attempting triangles and gogopalata’s, only to be defended consistently by Alex then back to standing again. Very hard fight to call with fantastic Bjj from the Japanese opponent but Alex showed very good defense to shut down all sub attempts as it went to the judge’s decision. A little controversial as ref and judges seemed to get the score cards mixed up before giving the win to Tatsuro for a tough effort. Very close could have gone either way.
Tony Rossini vs Wes Capper
Another high quality fight with Tony showing very tough wrestling ability and an incredible sprawl that made any takedown attempts by Wes very difficult. Wes looked great standing, however Tony managed to work his body locks and secure numerous takedowns to score the unanimous win and fight of the night.
Sean Spooner vs David Tudori
Middleweight fight with both guys coming out aggressive in the opening minute before a large cut over Sean’s right eye threatened to stop the fight early. After a doctor’s check of the cut Sean came back hard using his reach well and nice upperbody clinch to get the takedown.
On the ground Sean took Dave’s back with both guys almost falling out the ring while rolling and David continually defending the choke before Sean slipped his arm under for the rear choke win.
Gustavo Falciroli vs Kazuhiro Ito
Brazilian Bjj black belt Gustavo came out fast catching the Japanese fighter’s leg kick and replying with a straight right and takedown. On the ground the Brazilian worked methodically to pass and take mount then lock in a very tight armbar that incredibly Kazuhiro did not tap too as his arm was being hyper extended for over a minute before the bell rang.
The next round was again a grappling display by Gustavo and a show of just how tough the Japanese fighters are with Kazuhiro shutting down the submission attempts and even locking in his own north-south triangle. Gustavo remained calm and passed his way to gain full mount again to finish the round out throwing strikes to take the unanimous win.
Xavier ‘Xman’ Lucas vs Matt Cain
The main event of the evening pitted WA’s top middleweight fighter ‘The Xman’ against QLD’s Warriors Realm Champ Matt Cain.
Both guys came out cautious in the 1st with Xavier utilizing his amazing speed and strikes to keep the Queenslander at bay. Matt used his strikes well to setup some tough clinch work in the hope of taking Xavier down, however the xman managed to turn out of the ring corners nicely and box his way out of the clinch.
Drawing each other into a striking fight Matt used nice leg kicks and knee’s while Xavier replied with fast hands and mean intentions. A nice takedown by Matt ended with Xavier on his back throwing nasty up kicks to create space then jump back to his feet.
Matt and Xavier showed some incredible toughness as the next 2 rounds became a standup war of straight rights, sharp hooks and very close takedown attempts from Matt that were defended well by the Perth local.
The final round saw both fighters sustain bad cuts and while throwing heavy leather before Xavier got his own takedown to side control but both got to their feet again and continued trading til the final bell. The Xman took the unanimous win after 3 very tough rounds for both guys.
