Recently in Battle at the Nation's Capital Category

Just got these photos from Jerod Phillips, manager for Biff Walizer and owner of Tap or Sleep fightwear. These were taken before Biff's 148-pound fight last weekend at Battle at the Nation's Capital with Jerod wrapping up Biff's hands. Biff, who trains at LionHeart Fighters in State College, took the fight on short notice, dropping 12 pounds in a couple of days. In a little over a minute, Biff submitted his opponent, which made for a nice payday, when you look at the dollars-to-seconds ratio.

... and Biff's opponent tapped, said Jerod of Tap or Sleep fightwear. He just called me and said Biff won in 1:08 of the first round. The fight went to the ground, Biff nearly got caught in an arm-bar, but was able to sink in a guillotine choke from the bottom and his opponent was left with no alternative but to tap.

"We just came back and did a little redemption fight," Jerod said. From now until the spring, Biff will concentrate on coaching Red Lion's wrestling team, he said.

Jerod said he saw James "Binky" Jones there, who was scheduled to fight, but had to bow out to injury. Binky, a great competitor, has trained with Biff before and works out at Ground Control in Baltimore.

York County's own Biff Walizer, of LionHeart Fighters, will be fighting at the first-ever Battle at the Nation's Capital at the DC Armory. Biff told me he took the fight at the last-minute as a fill-in. The fight's at the curious weight of 148 Biff said. Curious because it's sandwiched in between the staple fighting weights of 145 and 155. Biff had a couple days to shed some pounds, but he did it. Fights start at 8 p.m. tomorrow, but I'm not sure where he is in the line-up. I'll keep you guys posted on how he does. Hopefully, he gets another arm for his collection, like Steve Cantwell.
