Bennett with the Triangle – Helton with a Gogoplata

Chris “The Samurai” Bennett pulls off another impressive win over Team Vision fighter Steve Muldrow on June 20 th 2009 at the MMA Bigshow at the Beltera Casino in Indiana. Retaining his title and bringing his amateur mixed martial arts record to 12 – 1. “We knew Steve was a formidable matchup for Chris he was big and strong and had good wrestling skills” said Mr. G. Chris has been working extra hard on his standup and was anxious to show the crowd he is more than just a jiujitsu fighter after landing a nice 3 piece combination which rocked Muldrow. Steve moved in for the clinch and attempted to take Bennett to the ground. Me and my coaches Mr.G and Coach Craig pretty much planned this to happen we watched some videos of Steve and knew what to expect I figured he would be blocking the armbars we figured he did his homework too. So I threw up a left side triangle as he pulled the arm back,” I really figured he would test my cardio but you make a mistake with me on the ground and I’ll submit you, said Bennett In what was probably submission of the night Team G-Force fighter Colt Helton improves his record to 5-1 and became the new MMA Bigshow Welterweight amateur champion over Team Vision’s Ben Cox. The fight begins with Cox throwing a low body kick, Helton answers with a thrust kick and Cox moves in for the clinch. Both fighters battle in the clinch for the takedown. Colt maintains the over and under and Cox falls and ends up in Heltons guard. Cox has a hard time passing guard leaning in to throw punches, Colt punches him in the face a few times before slipping in a beautiful gogoplata and forcing Cox to tap. Helton is the new MMA Bigshow Welterweight Amateur Champion.
