Cage Fighting Xtreme Event

In front of a packed house at the JunglePlex in Plymouth, MA, USMMA fighter James Pitner emerged victorious in a hard-fought, back and forth battle with Steve Stengel in the Main Event.

The fight began with a quick exchange, leaving Stengel opened up by a Pitner left hook. Stengel, rethinking his strategy, then went in for a takedown.

The fight proceeded on the ground with Stengel obtaining the dominant position in back mount. A large portion of the fight saw Pitner defending and battling through a rear-naked choke from Stengel.

Once Pitner saw his opening, he reacted swiftly, got himself out of the rear-naked choke by turning into Stengel’s guard. Pitner then established a stronger position, and began raining down a barrage of elbows and punches on his opponent. Stengel was forced to quit late in the first round.

“Jim worked extremely hard for this camp, especially focusing on his conditioning with our new partner A.P.E.C.S. He was well prepared for this fight.
He was poised, waited for his opportunity, and was able to capitalize on it.”,
said Tom Hafers of USMMA.
