Bull City Brawlers Win at ECCF 12

CHARLOTTE, NC – Members of the Durham MMA fight team Bull City Brawlers were looking top notch this weekend as they captured victories in the cage at Elite Championship Cage Fighting’s XII match up on Saturday, May 29th at the Metrolina Tradeshow Expo.

D’Juan "Dirty South" Owens (10-5) won a three round fight against Chris Smith (4-3). Owens dominated the first two rounds with superior striking skills and masterful footwork.  In the middle of round three, Owens was rocked by a haymaker from Smith, putting him on the defensive.  Smith tried to choke him out from behind but was unsuccessful.  Owens remained calm, defended the hold attempt and regained control of the position by the end of the round.

Chris "Sugar Bear" Crawford remains undefeated in his last five fights (7-2 total).  Crawford, currently ranked third in the amateur middleweight division, was scheduled to fight Ronny Huitt.  When Huitt cancelled because of the flu, Crawford stepped up and faced last minute replacement Chad Tyler, a light heavyweight.  Despite the difference in weight, Crawford dominated three solid rounds with his ring generalship, accurate punches and thundering leg and body kicks that echoed off the auditorium walls.  Crawford was awarded the "Beast of the Night" trophy from Beast MMA.
