Bob Bitner, head instructor at Hanover Academy of Mixed Martial Arts, brought two of his fighters to Total Cage Combat in Richmond, Va. on Saturday.
Jay Haas engaged in a ground battle with his opponent, in what Bitner called "back and forth, a very close fight."
In the third round, Haas tapped out to a rear-naked choke, Bitner said.
Ryan Harder added another title to his trophy case, taking home the TCC featherweight championship, Bitner said. The fight was over quick - one punch from Harder knocked his opponent out at the :17 mark.
"I'm happy and I'm sad," Bitner said of his team's performance. Congrats to both Haas and harder for giving it their all in their fights.
