Psychout Promotions once again provided the Mississippi MMA fan with the best MMA action in Mississippi this past Saturday night. “Bring It On” was the first event of 2010 for Psychout Promotions and if the other three scheduled events are anything like this one, MMA fans better hold on.

The hardcore 14 card event opened with two up and coming MMA superstars fighting it out. This match was the first time that either of the competitors had stepped into the octagon. Northwest Rankin senior, Blake Kennedy took the second round win over Brandon Shackelford by submission 39 seconds into the 2nd round.

Brandon “The Beast” Evans vs. Shane Easley would be awarded the MORA “Fight of the Night”  award after Evans caught Easley in a rear naked choke hold just 1:50 into the second round. A full list of amateur event results is listed below.

Unfortunately the first pro event of the evening between Tony “Babalu” Godbold and Tel Faulkner ended in a no contest after Faulkner suffered an accidental gouge to the eye. In other pro-MMA action, Cory Holder would submit to Ryan Caprari’s guillotine 3:37 into the second round.

In Co-Main event action, Brian Albin and Justin Thornton would provide the Psychout faithful with some awesome MMA action. Albin and Thornton at times stood toe to toe slugging it out and putting on a show with some great mat technique. Albin would take the win over a battered and bloodied Thornton 3:03 into the 2nd round by ref stoppage due to multiple strikes.  Albin has to be one of the hottest MMA fighters in the South right now. He is riding a win streak that is proving that Albin is up for any challenges.

The Main Event of the evening saw John “Hollywood” Harris taking on Cody Southwood. Southwood would take the fight on less than 48 hours notice after originally scheduled competitor Juan Zapatta broke his hand during a late Thursday training session. Hollywood would win the Psychout Promotions Lightweight Title using the rear naked choke hold just 2:21 into the first round. The title was forfeited by Trey Brown due to the inability to compete to defend the title. Psychout fans should be very interested in knowing that a Brown / Hollywood Harris match is in the near future.

Matt Lord was award the Guichet Law Firm “Submission of the Night” award after he took the win over Clay Wallace just 2:01 into the first round. Lord would use the triangle choke hold to take the win. Lord was also donating all his winnings to his “Fight for Haiti” campaign. Psychout Promotions CEO Brian McGuire and CFO Forrest Welker presented Lord with a $1000 donation check from Psychout for his “Fight for Haiti” campaign.
