Great Performance from Kokoro at Chaos 4
Thomas Nolan and Jonny Origan stepped up to the plate for their ring and Chaos Fighting Championships debut this evening.
Jonny Origan of Kokoro was matched with Dave Brown of Cobra MMA and it was to be a gruelling wrestling match for both. Dave’s intentions were clear from the start; this one was going going to be a ground war! A solid rugby tackle brought Jonny to the mat and Dave put his awesome size and strength advantage to good use. This was what Jonny had expected and he was well prepared. Working the guard to a well timed reversal saw Jonny on top and working the body. On went the ever active wrestling match and at the end of RD1 we were looking at a stalemate. RD2 and the size, strength, skill and some solid cornering of Dave Brown came into play. Relentless pursuit of Jonny’s back saw Origan fighting to hold out before tapping to a rear naked choke in the final seconds of RD2. Fantasic match!
Kokoro’s Thomas Nolan was matched with Tony Deane of Evolve and Nolan wasted no time in piling on the workrate. At the onset, Tony was clearly up for a standup match but swiftly changed his mind as Thomas landed a solid 1-2. Deane now wanted no part of Thomas’ standup game and had been rocked in the first few seconds. Deane wisely headed for the ground with very solid takedown skills.
Sensing he could have the standup advantage, Thomas brought Deane back to his feet within seconds. Thomas quickly landed a big right to the chin as Deane was sent backwards toward the corner. Nolan headed in for a finishing strike but Deane recovered well enough to go in for the takedown. It was a good lift but the neck was out there and Nolan was waiting. Nolan landed a few shots during the clinch, secured the neck and began sinking the guillotine on the way down to the mat. Calm and composed, Thomas ensured he established a solid closed guard before finalising the choke early in RD1. Great debut win for Thomas!
Congratulations gents!

Made the 3 hour journey up to see the boys in action and was well worth it!Had a front row seat too!!!Jonny did excellent but unfortunately for him the guy was huge which was a big advantage.Even in the choke he wasn’t giving up.At one stage I thought he would rather sleep than tap but he did ecxellent and would have given round one to him.Tom was a cool customer in the ring.His stand up was superb,trying to work the combos that shane thought us and caught him with a few shots before guillotining him at the 2nd attempt in round one.Well done tom.Both did the club proud!!!
