Carlson Gracie Team MMA Fighter Ryan Haney - Victorious in Debut!
June 18th, 2010
Last Friday night, at Excalibur Nightclub in Chicago Illinois, Carlson Gracie Team MMA Fighter Ryan Haney made his Mixed Martial Arts debut. The event was promoted by Cut Throat MMA and was the first Mixed Martial Arts event to be held at the historic Chicago nightclub.
'A win is most important to me' said Ryan Haney in his pre-fight interview. 'I am just a fighter. I am going to go in there and bang and we will see what happens' he added.
Going in there fighting and banging he did. Three long grueling rounds later he found himself in the middle of the cage awaiting the judges decisions. All the work he put in at the Carlson Gracie Team MMA - Aurora / Naperville gym paid off. By split decision his hand was raised in victory!
'In the first round I thought to myself, this is a lot different than training. That guy punches hard!' a very happy Ryan Haney was heard to say backstage afterward.
Top Student Jeff Neal added 'Ryan actually heard two of his ribs pop in the first round during an awkward scramble. He continued to push the fight and bring it showing true heart that is representative of the Carlson Gracie Team MMA Fight Team. Ryan is a warrior!'
Ryan has a little healing up to do before he sees action in the cage again, but rest assured this warrior is already looking forward to his next battle! Go Ryan!
