VOLZ (RED), ALEX, JIMMY OF GROUND ZERO.

       Stephen Volz (of Ground Zero Extreme Fighting) and Miguel Neri (of Muay Thai Lao) faced off against each other at Huck's Dawgs of War on June 22nd in Roseville, CA. Volz landed several solid take downs in the first round, slamming Neri to the mat. However, Neri was able to get up from the first double-leg take down and control Volz's posture after the second attempt, inciting the ref to stand the fighters up.

"Everybody says Muay Thai Lao has no ground,"  Miguel Neri told MattZilla (www.srmma.com) post-fight. "We work a lot off our back.  We're not really wrestlers, but when it gets to the ground, we control." 

NERI POST FIGHT

        After the third takedown, Neri quickly scrambled his way up to a sprawl, then caught Volz's head under his arm and pushed him into the cage. Volz didn't tap before he lost consciousness, and the referee stopped the fight in the first round, declaring Neri the winner via standing guillotine submission. Neri was happy with the outcome of his debut amateur fight, though it sounded like he wanted to stand with Volz a bit more. He thanked his trainer Andy Khensamphaph and his team at Muay Thai Lao Kickboxing Academy.

"I thought I was gonna knock him out, but whatever gets me the win, I'm happy with it." - Miguel Neri told MattZilla (www.srmma.com) post-fight.
