Evolution AMMA: MMA Madness Official Results
Evolution AMMA’s second show MMA Madness went down last night at the Union County Performing Arts Center in Rahway NJ. Jose Suarez and matchmaker Steven Katz are making a push to be a feeder league into the region’s top flight amateur leagues. The formula of putting young, rookie fighters together is a bit of a witches brew. No shows and miss matches are bound to happen at a higher rate, but the chance to see explosive young fighters more than makes up for the occasional miss match. That being said, 8 of 13 scheduled fights did jump off last night, conspicuously absent was Tajuddin Abdul-Hakim (5-1) vs Rustam Chsiev (debut). However, only three of those eight fights went to the judges, which is well above the 50% finish rate that (typically) makes for a show. And Noel Arcibal treated fans in North Jersey to an 11 second KO over Ariel Solano. I’ll try to find that video for you guys.
Now, for the 37th time, the following results are official as submitted by the NJSACB.

2010’s Fights That Mattered #1: Aaron Meisner vs Marcus Ajian
Aaron Meisner vs Marcus Ajian, Locked in the Cage 2
Philadelphia’s Aaron Meisner started 2010 on a very rocky road. His last win was over two years ago, and since then he lost his first round bout against Brandon Sene in UFC’s The Ultimate Fighter: Season 7, and after a year off lost back to back fights on home turf in 2009. Losses to Costa Phillipou and Leo Pecanha had exposed weaknesses in Meisner’s ground game. Entering the new calendar year, Aaron had two bouts on his schedule in a one month stretch, starting at Locked in the Cage against submission specialist Marcus Ajian. When Aaron missed weight and admitted to not being too upset, it looked like more of the same was in store for one of Philadelphia’s most popular fighters.
