John Buck “I’m not worried about Grandpa Allen”

Soco — Wed, 07 Jul 2010 20:19:56 +0000

In reference to his opponent, Georgia's own George "A-Dog" Allen, a 42 year old veteran of MMA and Nuclear Medicine Tech, John Buck says he is not worried about a guy who "Has been fighting since 1923", "Went to elementary school with his grandfather."

Buck, a well rounded 6-6 competitor out of North Carolina, is known for his strong opinions especially toward Georgia opponents and tree trunk legs. He is a wrestler who says he has not met a guy in the cage who can handle his wrestling arsenal.

Allen not affected by his opponents word says "These guys need some new material. I've heard it so many times. I bet he won't be saying that after the fight, they never do."

Main Event: Collingwood vs. Garrison, who takes it

Soco — Tue, 06 Jul 2010 22:13:33 +0000

"How does Ethan Know he is not out of his league with a guy like me?"

It can be said Collingwood is more experienced, especially in big show settings. Collingwood has a killer instinct and snaps into "Vicious" mode as soon as the bell rings. Many times unable to snap out of it for several minutes after the fight.

Ethan Garrison on the other hand is methodical, technical and recently won the world championship in the Brown Belt absolute division of the Pan Am BJJ Championships. Which translates into world class skills when the fight hits the ground.

Who will prevail in this matchup... will Sammy be able to avoid Garrisons submissions? Will Garrison survive the initial onslaught of Collingwood? watch the videos below to see both fighters previous fights and leave your comments.
