Saturday night – three men, Scott Ramsay, Kieran Rolfe and Matthew wise, all entered the octagon at Northampton’s MMA Battle Arena. Many saw them as the underdogs, after all two of these men had only been training for 3 months, with little previous experience. However due to their hard work, months of sacrifice, sleepless nights, dieting and most importantly training, these three men stood their ground.

Scott Ramsay was our first BST representative to fight that night. His fight was going one way, and that was to the ground. Scott managed to take down his opponent, secure a head arm choke, and submit his opponent in less than two minutes of the first round.

Kieran Rolfe was next to go. He was the least experienced of the three; however he proved himself on the night with a unanimous judge’s decision. With no previous training in martial arts, Kieran dominated a very tough opponent to take his record to 1-0.

Matthew Wise was our last BST fighter, and was also the main event of the evening. His opponent was more experienced, very confident and was coming in off a victory. They touched gloves, and were ready for a war. Matthew very quickly took the fight to the floor, took mount, and unleashed some serious ground and pound, after 46 seconds of the first round his opponent tapped out due to strikes.

All in all, a fantastic night for BST; proving that hard work really does pay off, however long and hard the road may be . . .
