T-Dub's Blog: Total Combat 34

Last night’s Total Combat was a complete waste of time and money. It seemed unorganized the whole night and very low budget for high ticket prices. Nothing against the fighters, but majority of them were from Brandon Vera’s camp Alliance. Majority of the people in audience were supporters of Alliance. I don’t know much about the company that puts on Total Combat. Ok I don’t know anything about this company, but it felt more like a Brandon Vera production than anything else. My question of the night was where are the fighters from other camps? I’ll have to look into this further, because I know that there are tons of camps in So Cal. Where do they go to showcase their skills?

The fights were good. They have that rawness going for them that makes it interesting to watch. I’d have to say that the fight of the night was the chick fight between Michelle Vera and Leah Melynchuk. Leah looked like a little scrapper, but Michelle Vera was ready and was able to control the fight. Anytime Leah would get close and land some strikes, Michelle pulled her in even closer and to do a series of knees and punches. Leah tried many take downs, but was only successful once in the last round, which did not work in her favor. Michelle wounded up on top and landed a ton of elbows to the face Lesnar style. The last minute of the 3rd round though Leah almost caught Michelle in a couple of submission moves, but once again Michelle was able to turn the tables and get out of every single one of them. Leah was great, but Michelle did her fans and bro proud. Michelle was not about to let Leah win. Anytime Leah did something good, Michelle would do something better.

I enjoyed the fight between Steve Gable and Preston Scharf, both non-Alliance members. It was a high energy match up either one of them could have won. Mark Striegl did an amazing rear-naked-choke on Andy Jewitt that left Andy passed out for few seconds. Overall, I think a few of the guys would be good match ups for the prelims at a WEC, maybe a UFC. Some you can tell are beginners and have a lot of work ahead of them.

On another note. What were those dancers doing last night? They were the worst dancers ever. The whole audience was making fun of them. I know that it is hard to get up in front of people and shake your ass, but you can’t tell me that out of all of the skinny girls in San Diego, you can’t find 4 that can dance without making themselves look ridiculous. I was more entertained at Hustler watching ta tas, then I was watching those girls, and I don’t even swing that way. If you can’t find decent dancers, then don’t have any at all. The music alone would have been just fine.

Well that’s my 2 cents for the day. On MMA at least.
