Team Whortiz won this week.....damn.
CHARLIE BLANCHARD VS. JAMIE YAGER
Stylistically the match-up was simple, Blanchard wanted to get the fight to the ground while Yager wanted it to be a kickboxing bout.
Yager defended the first takedown attempt and the writing was on the wall. Yager quickly landed a superman punch that sent Blanchard crashing to the canvas where he turtled up and Yager finished with a series of right hands.
Team Ortiz took control with the win from the source of turmoil within its tribe.
“Yager sucked the desire right out of that kid,” said White. “He put it to him, hit him with some big shots, and he basically just laid down and turtled up an got punched into submission.”
“To win and finally get control, it puts a smile on my face,” commented Ortiz.
“There was a little bit of bad energy on our team. We had three losses in a row, and I definitely wanted to be the one to change the pace of what was going on for us, so I’m glad to definitely bring some good energy to our team now,” said Yager following the fight.
His performance even won over rival Kyacey Uscola, sort of.
“I think this win, we gained a little bit of respect for Yager,” said the 28-year-old fighter. “But I still hope I can smash his face one day.”
