Congratualtions to Nate LaMotte, who made a triumphant return to the cage last night with a win in the first round over veteran Nuri Shakir during Combat Zone 36.
LaMotte had been sidelined for almost a year with injuries, but didn't take long to get back into the flow. He slapped a rear naked choke on Shakir and got the Nashua resident to submit just before time expired in the first round.
The other big winner of the night was Calvin Kattar, who continues to improve his repuatation as one of the best fighters in the area by beating Luis Rodriguez in a unanimous decision.
It will be interesting to see where both winners go from here. I would love to see a fight between LaMotte and Tom Moreau, and hopefully Kattar, who got his 11th win, will get a shot from one of the bigger promotion companies.
About Me
- Mark Quirk
- I have been a journalist in the Boston area for more than 10 years. Most of my experience is in sports writing and I am currently an editor/writer for the New Hampshire Union Leader, the largest newspaper in the Granite State. My work has included interviews with sports icons such as Arnold Palmer, Cam Neely and Kevin Youkilis. And being a reporter in New Hampshire also gives you special access to presidential candidates, so I have met everyone from Barack Obama to John McCain. I am from Manchester, which is famous every four years as the media capital of the world for the first in the nation primary. It is also famous because it is the hometown of comedians Adam Sandler, Sarah Silverman and Seth Meyers. As a journalist, I believe the most valuable commodity in the world is informtaion. All the information in my blog will be based on fact, not rumors, and range widely in content. One thing I hope is that it will never be boring.
