I had some results from Jerod Phillips of Tap or Sleep fightwear on the weekend, but you can get the full results of Friday's PA Fighting Championship by clicking here.
Also, on Saturday, Asylum Fight League had their 21st event at The Arena on Philly. Click here to get full results.
George McGinnis, owner and head trainer at York Mixed Martial Arts Academy, sent me this email on his impressions of Friday's event in Harrisburg:
"I would like to congratulate Coach Blackman and all those involved in a successful evening. There is no doubt that his personal involvement in the entertainment business is what assisted him in running an impressive show. Steve Blackman took the appropriate amount of time to converse with the trainers and was extremely composed during the event which was a refreshing change of pace. I was impressed with the easy to find location, the venue itself, as well as the talent pool in both the amateur and pro divisions. I do believe that we will be looking to work with Mr. Blackman in the future"...
Just talked with Jerod Phillips of mma fightwear company Tap or Sleep. He was at PA Fighting Championship last night in Harrisburg and passed along a few of the results:
Jay Haas of Hanover Academy of Mixed Martial Arts (and his own school in Lewisberry) got a TKO win against Michael Bunyamanhop. Jay had Bunyamanhop mounted and was raining down punches, Jerod said.
Another Hanover fighter, Kevin Flinchbaugh, also scored a first-round TKO, this one on the feet, at about :38, against Joshua Geiringer.
Hanover's third fighter, Brad Herrick, lost by KO to Justin Lucas.
Jeff Smith, who used to train at Hanover, but now calls Blackman MMA home, won by guillotine against Ric Humphries in the first round.
And in the main event, Dustin Pague of Blackman MMA lost to Anthony Leone by a north-south choke in the second round.
Jerod said the place, the Zembo Temple, was packed, sold out and there was not a bad seat in the house. "It was a pretty well run thing," he said of promoter Steve Blackman and his crew. "It was a decent night of fights."
Many thanks to Jerod for these results. Complete results should be ready by early next week.
No, unfortunately, it's not a highlight package. I've been hunting around for results for Friday's PA Fighting Championship, put on by Blackman MMA, but haven't found any yet. Stay tuned.

Dustin Pague
Just heard from Larry Novak, owner of New Cumberland-based Tattoo Fightwear. He told me he's sponsoring Dustin Pague at Friday's PA Fighting Championship. Pague, a 155-pound fighter at 5-2, takes on Andrew Montanez, who is 7-11.
