“I want to be a fighter.” With that sentence, uttered by David Mitchell as he stepped into David Terrell’s Nor Cal Fighting Alliance gym in Santa Rosa, California for the first time in 2005, we could just say “and the rest is history,” considering that “Daudi” is making his UFC debut on Wednesday in Austin, Texas. But nothing is ever that cut and dried, and from the time of those first fighting words, Mitchell has gone through a lifetime’s worth of experiences to prepare him not only to become a fighter, but a UFC fighter.

Marco Huck retains WBO cruiserweight title in Berlin

Submitted by FightNewsUSA on March 13, 2010 – 6:14 pmNo Comment

BERLIN — Marco Huck of Germany has retained his WBO cruiserweight title by knocking out Adam Richards of the United States in the third round.

Huck connected with a flurry of punches Saturday after already flooring Richards earlier and the American went down with 30 seconds left in the third round. The referee didn’t bother to count and waved the fight over.

By then, the American had a swelling over his right eye and was bleeding from the left side of his head after accidental head butts.

Huck improved to 28-1 with his second defense and Richards fell to 23-3.
