Zar MMA and Champion Challenge XV

This weekend was a good one for Team Machado Utah and Kingdom Klub. We had Koffi Adzitso, our Welterweight phenom, fighting in the Zar MMA Fight Night on November 12, 2010. Koffi's opponent was Kevin Burns, a UFC veteran. Koffi came out strong and lit up Burns with his fast hands and power. Koffi cut Burns under the right eye with a left jab and a few seconds later cut him under the left eye with a right cross. Burns appeared dazed and confused and began throwing wide shots, Koffi countered beautifully and sent Burns down in flames. Koffi won by KO in the first round!

At the Champion Challenge XV Grappling tournament Team Machado Utah members Spencer Kutler and Brandon Ruiz competed and did well in their respective divisions. Spencer had two matches in which he worked on his skills and gained more mat time and experience. Spencer is improving and is looking to start making some break throughs soon. Brandon won both Gi and No-Gi Super Heavy Weight divisions.

In all it was a great weekend for our team! Plus I found a great new barbecue joint up in Layton called Holy Smoke BBQ! Jeff, the owner was an awesome down to earth guy and I can't help but get a little emotional and excited that there is one more great BBQ joint in the world!
