LFMAC's Keith McDonald wins MMA Debut

This past Saturday, our own Keith McDonald won his MMA debut at the Showboat Casino/House of Blues in Atlantic City by unanimous decision. Keith showed incredible focus especially when you consider that he has been training BJJ for a little over two months, and has six MMA classes under his belt. There was one potential game-changer - his opponent fought south-paw, something we didn't have time to prepare for with only six MMA classes. That didn't phase Keith one bit. Keith took his opponent down numerous times and dominated the ground game. At the end of the second round, Keith had back control - flattening his opponent out - and sunk in the rear choke, but with only 10 second remaining in the round he was unable to finish. The highlight of the third round was a BEAUTIFUL hip throw off a wizzer. Two of the three judges scored all three rounds for Keith. It was an incredible night, Keith dominated and walked away unscathed.
