A Bunch of Bumps and Bruises

The “Iron Ring” closes the only way it can with a few knock outs, tap outs, and a bunch of bumps and bruises.

One of the most anticipated fights of the season had to be John “The Bullet” Fields vs. Dymond Jones. These two have been at odds with each other since earlier in the season. The rivalry started when Jones (and pretty much everybody else) felt that Fields was disrespectful towards a defeated opponent. Jones attempted to school Fields, who in turn took Jones’ interference as disrespectful, and it was set. The Bullet was more than eager to unleash the pain on Dymond Jones.

When The Bullet went in for a tackle early on in the match it was no surprise. Fields fights with his anger and channels it toward his opponent, but it became clear almost mid-way through the match that Jones was going to give The Bullet a run for his money. A left hook to The Bullet’s head solidified that fact. Jones continued to dominate Fields, who was surprisingly left to just cover up his head on the ground. The most shocking move of the night: John “The Bullet” Fields tapped out!

My first thought was, “Wow, he looks like a punk now.” Fields talked more than a little bit of trash during the build up to this match, only to give in. Hopefully, this was a learning experience for him. It goes to show that you can never underestimate your opponent, no matter how good you are at the art of talking trash. What do you think?

As Fields said after his loss, “You win some. You lose some.” This sentiment couldn’t be truer for each of the teams, but in the ring, only one winning team take home the prizes. Congratulations to Team Nelly. Despite not practicing with the rest of the fighters, they managed to dominate the ring and walk out in victory.

Well, it’s all over now! What did you think? Hate it or love it, the “Iron Ring” had some of the most shocking slams on television. Did the right team win? What do you think was the best match? Who was the best fighter?
