Eddie “Dirty” Sanchez showed that he is the toughest Heavyweight in the Total Combat organization by outlasting UFC vet Wade “Nightmare” Shipp. Shipp looked to be on the verge of knocking Sanchez out at any moment even landing 2 huge high kicks that both sent Dirty tumbling to the mat. With Shipp ahead on the cards in the 3rd , Sanchez at about a quarter tank and Shipp with his warning light on, Eddie took one of the previously mentioned high kicks sending him to the mat. Some how Sanchez recovered and took the giant to the ground landing in side mount. On the ground Sanchez was able to land several punches on an unresponsive ship forcing the ref to call the fight. Eddie Sanchez over Wade Shipp TKO at 4:23 in the 3rd.

It took Brad Doerges (webmaster), Dave Mandel (photos), and myself (writer) seemingly four hours to get to Campo, California. I had no idea where Campo was, Brad told us it was in San Diego. He lied; it was over 40 minutes outside San Diego. I wonder if Sherdog lies to his staff as well? Or does he chauffer them in a giant RV? Luckily for Brad the Golden Acorn Casino, although seemingly in the middle of no where, was easy to find.
Next Cody Culkin of Pro-Pain fought Brett Cooper from Sub-Fighter. Will we someday see MMA-Fighter vs Sub-Fighter? Anyways it took Cooper a minute and a half to TKO his way to a victory over Culkin.
Chris Davis of Black Tiger took on Daniel Vasquez of 5150 Fight Club. Davis came out dancing like he was Travolta with his pants on fire. He went in the ring, threw a few punches, caught a flying knee in mid air and countered with a big slam, got reversed, did a textbook armbar for the submission victory then Saturday Night Fevered his way out of the ring.
Julian Rush of Fight Science took on Eddie “Dirty” Sanchez of Team Magnitude. It was a slobber knocker as both men traded bombs that mostly missed. They tired quickly as the first round came to a close as they desperately tried to finish each other, trying to avoid the second round. Sanchez could be seen telling his corner that he was tired and he wanted no more, but his corner kept him in the fight. In the other corner Rush was not able to answer the bell, as he seemed more tired than even Sanchez and had to lie on the ring floor for a good five minutes. He did not look to be in great fight shape, as society may deem him overweight. I like to call the gut, a fuel tank; a fuel tank that burns gas fast.
