Jason a gifted fighter and BJJ purple belt won by Rear Naked Choke.

Also fighting on the card that night was one of TMT’s favorite sons Damo Rooney, who went up a weight class to fight a bigger featherweight fighter.  After an exciting round, that saw Damo utilizing some GNP, he was reversed and suffered a TKO loss while on bottom.  Tough break for Damo and his first loss.Everyone who knows Damo and his dedication understands this was just a bump in the road and he will be returning with a vengeance.
