Windsor Township's Biff Walizer sent me an e-mail on his fight last weekend in New Jersey at the Ring of Combat's Beasts of the Northeast 8-man lightweight tournament.
He was fighting Eddie Fyvie, a Renzo Gracie fighter with a 3-1 professional record. Here's what Biff wrote:
I got to a clinch and backed him into a corner. He was a lot taller than me, so I proceeded to land some knees to his upper thighs and a couple of short right hands in the corner.
When I went to adjust my clinch he turned his back to the center of the ring and immediately fell to his back pulling me into his guard and a very tight triangle.
I fought the triangle and in the process of escaping my mouthpiece fell out. So after clearing the triangle, they restarted us on our feet. I was still feeling the effects of the triangle at the restart as I walked into a right hand that put me down with 16 seconds left in the round. "match over"
Biff injured his hand in training just weeks before the fight. Here's what he wrote about that:
I finally went and got my hand x-rayed on Monday. It's broken in 2 places. It's started to heal since it's been 3 weeks ago now. It isn't set perfectly but they said it would be pretty complicated to go in and reset the spiral break in the middle of my hand. So, I just can't hit anything with it for a few weeks. I've already started looking for my next fight. (hopefully at 145)
Biff, good luck in your recovery and in getting a win the next time out.
