Our head instructor and mentor James Wilks had a hard fight Saturday November 14th against fellow Ultimate Fighter veteran Matt Brown. While putting up a tough fight and recovering from some pretty brutal standup exchanges James managed to put up a good fight up until about halfway through the third round. James almost finished the fight with several submission attempts and nearly ended the fight with a Kimura in the third round before Brown slipped into mount and finished the fight with a flurry of punches from the top.
We all know this was a tough fight for James as he was the biggest underdog on the fight card that night. We will all be there to build James back up and get him ready for his next UFC fight!
You gained a lot of fans and respect with your performance against Matt Brown. The overwhelming consensus on the MMA message boards was that the fight could have easily had a different result. The experience you gained will not bode well for your next opponent. War James!
