Sherdog writes about the three title fights on Unbreakable and also mentions the fights between Elina Nilsson and Danielle West and the fight where Christopher Wassberg injured his shoulder in the fight against royal marine Kev Donnely:
Swedes Take Gold at Zone FC 9
Swedish fighters took home all three titles up for grabs at The Zone FC 9 in Gothenburg, Sweden. In fact, local competitors dominated the show inside Liseberg Hall on Saturday, with Swedes going 7-1 against international competition.
Martin Svensson captured the vacant Zone FC featherweight title eking out a three-round split verdict against Paul Reed. Svensson used ground control to score points in the early going and weathered a late guillotine attempt from the experienced Scotsman to earn two judges’ scorecards. The final judge ruled the fight a draw with a “must” decision for Reed, who filed a protest regarding the decision to the Swedish MMA Federation on Monday.
Gladius MMA teammates Besam Yousef and Victor Cheng each needed far less than 15 minutes to claim their belts against French opposition. Yousef defended his welterweight title with an 84-second guillotine-choking of Jason Ponet, while Cheng pounded out Cyrille Diabate student Eric Cebarec at 2:32 of the first frame.
Female 147-pounders Elina Nilsson and Danielle West stole the show with a back-and-forth scrap which ended when Nilsson dropped her English opponent with punches at 3:45 of the second. The only visiting fighter to win on the night was England’s Kevin Donnelly, whose bout with Christopher Wassberg ended when Wassberg suffered a shoulder injury at 4:36 of the first.
