The fight begins and Chestnutt comes charging across the cage as White meets him with some hammer fists to the top of the head. As they go against the cage Chestnutt finishes the takedown and works to mount. White escapes back to the feet and both fighters are already showing signs of fatigue. White is again looking for this insane looping overhand that starts from above his head and he cocks it multiple times before throwing it. The round ends with Chestnutt throwing a flurry of hooks as the bell is sounded. This is going to be a wild one as long as it lasts.
Round 2 starts and White is throwing strikes as Chestnutt looks for a takedown again. It doesnt take long before Chestnutt is completely out of gas and backs against the cage waiting for whatever White offers. White is able to take Chestnutt down as much as chestnut falls and while there he delivers a number of elbows causes the referee to halt the action. Elbows in any position are illegal in Georgia amateur rules. The fight is stopped for a moment as a point is deducted. The fight resumes and they go back to the ground as White throws punches till the round ends.

Richard is patient and is able to finish the takedown where he quickly postures up and goes to deliver some more downwards shots but is met by a stiff upkick from Eakin .

Once the fight is resumed Richard attempts a takedown which Eakin defends and the sheer force of two tired fighters brings them to the ground again where the round comes to an end.

185lbs | Josh Eagans vs. Aaron “Tex” Johnson
Johnson begins the fight with a big head kick that surprises Eagans.Johnson then uses this opportunity to charge with a crazy flying knee Which Eagans blocks. Eagns brings the fight to the ground and Johnson tries to finish by triangle from the ground. Eagans is able to sweep and take Johnson’s back where Johnson defends the chioke but eats about 20 punches that he cant defend due to Eagans pinning his arms. Johnson shakes these punches off but is unable to shake off Eagans who continues to work from Johnson his back trying for choke. The round runs out much like it started, with Eagans on Johnson’s back but unable to finish the fight from this position.
The round starts as Eagans this time is the aggressor early on and brings a head kick which Johnson blocks . When Eagans tries to shoot, Johnson meets him with a big knee that Eagans appears to eat in the process of putting Johnson on his back again. Eagans is delivering some big shots from the top but when Johnson starts striking from the bottom, I lose my mind as both fighters are pummeling each other and continue for about 20 seconds. The pace settles and Eagans continues to deliver some effective ground and pound from the top. Johnson is looking for submissions from the bottom but Eagans is defending all of them. Eagans continues to work from the top as Johnson weathers the storm until the round ends but not before taking some big shots once again.
The round starts and both fighters throw a flurry of shots before Eagans takes the fight to the ground again. While Eagans is staying busy from the top, Johnson is patient is is able to sweep Eagan about half way through the round. Eagans then goes for a triangle that he flips Eagans over with as he actually postures up while still holding the submission. Eagans will not give in and flips Johnson to his back. Still being in a good position for the triangle, Johnson settles on a slick armbar attempt. The crowd is absolutely deafening as Johnson looks to be very close to finishing with the armbar as Eagans winces but does not tap out. The toughness of these guys is not in question as I was sure that Eagans had his arm broken, but he kept on fighting through it. Johnson finishes the round strong and comes very close to finishing but its not enough as Eagans holds on for the decision win.
Eagans wins by Unanimous decision
That’s it for us from Douglas GA. Thanks to Rampage 2010 for putting on a great show.
War Machine, Regular Jackass
I would love to give this guy the benefit of the doubt, but would I be an idiot to do so? He claims on his twitter that he has the staphs which no doubt sucks, but you have to keep the promoter informed in my opinion.

Here is the official press release from David Oblas’ Undisputed Productions.
For the past month everyone in the MMA community has been asking….is it still on? Is War Machine vs Tex Johnson on Saturday, April 17 at Wild Bill’s still on? The answer is YES!!! Despite War Machine’s recent arrest outside a San Diego bar that landed him on TMZ and a spit bag over his face, the fight is still on for Saturday, April 17!
In February of 2009, he legally changed his from Jon Koppenhaver to War Machine. He had one of the best fights in the history of MMA PPV. He’s starred in a porn movie with Digital Playground. He’s several times faced legal action outside the cage. To raise money for his attorneys, he’s put on ebay all his memorabilia from his MMA fights including some of his most personal items – his liver, his kidney and his sperm for sale!
And on Saturday night, the MMA legend known as War Machine will come to Atlanta to fight local standout Tex Johnson in the main event of Wild Bill’s Fight Night!
Wild Bill’s Fight Night is not new to the spotlight of the MMA industry hosting many of the country’s top fighters, and with that controversy has not been far away either. The last Wild Bill’s Fight Night featured Junie Browning, one of MMA’s most controversial fighters. After hosting Junie in the main event, War Machine had to be next!
But the War Machine vs Tex Johnson fight was in jeopardy only last week when War Machine was arrested at a San Diego bar for allegedly carrying deadly weapons, which turned out only to be his fists! See TMZ story by clicking here.
Now it’s on for Saturday, April 17 and War Machine will bring his 10-3 record to Wild Bill’s to fight the 6-2 Tex Johnson in his hometown.

The round ends by Barnwell throwing some shots to Tena while they are both in this compromising position.
Round 3
Round 3 beings and as Tena approaches Barnwell, he is surprised by Barnwell quickly pulling guard. They then spend nearly the entire round with Barnwell working a triangle while Tena is trying to punch him through the ropes near the turnbuckle. As Barnwell continues to work the triangle from the bottom he is getting punched by Tena around the ropes. The ref realizes the disadvantage due to the ropes and puts them in the middle of the ring where they finish out the 3rd round of a very exciting fight.
Justin Barnwell wins by unanimous decision
TJ Harris vs. Jerrid Burke 157lbs
Round 1
Round one begins with both fighters clearly wanting to make their paycheck on the feet as they both throw some big punches. Burke settles in with a low leg kick he wants to use to set up something bigger. Once Harris begins to catch it and counter they both go back to throwing bombs. This can only continue for so long and Harris finds himself on the business end of a big right from Burke. The punch lands clearly on the jaw and it drops him to the ground instantly ending the fight by KO.

Chris McNally vs. Mike Israel 187lbs

Round one begins and both fighters touch gloves followed by McNally working towards a takedown. Isreal makes his way back to his feet and continues with a takedown of his own slamming McNally to the canvas. Once on the ground they both wrestle it out with McNally working towards a kimura which Israel defends. Once inside Israel’s guard, McNally postures up and drops some punches with a few finding the mark. He sinks back into Israel guard and the round ends.
Round 2
Round 2 starts with McNally putting Isreal in a tough spot as he brings a big flurry of punches but Isreal hangs in there. Isreal then goes for a inside leg trip that nicely takes McNally to the ground. However once there, McNally demonstrates some great wrestling and works towards a triangle. McNally slowly gets it tighter and tighter before Isreal taps out, ending the fight.

Joe Carroll vs. Lance Dickson 157lbs
Round 1
The fight starts with a frenzied pace and Dickson stuns Carroll a bit on the feet. As a result, Dickson then follows him to the canvas dropping some more strikes from the top. Carroll stays calm and works towards an armbar which he gets and holds on to even after Dickson tries to posture up for an escape. This puts Dickson in an even worse position as Carroll holds on and leaves Dickson no choice but to tapout. A frenzied fight that obviously wasn’t going to last long one way or another comes to an prompt end. A great way to start off the pro fights!
Joe Carroll wins by submission (Armbar) at :42 of R1
Johnny Buck vs. Aaron “Tex” Johnson 187lbs
Round 1
The fight starts and no time is wasted between both fighters. Buck is going for a takedown and he gets it. With Buck in his guard Tex wastes no time, grabs Buck’s right leg and cranks back with a brutal heel hook calling a quick end to the bout. I’ve seen Tex fight many times, always exciting and very quick.
Aaron “Tex” Johnson wins by Submission (Heel Hook) @ :13 in Round 1
Roger Carroll vs. Dave Mewborn 190lbs
Round 1
Carroll starts the fight by delivering some low leg kicks that Mewborn shakes off. Once in the clinch, Mewborn scores a big taketown and both fighters wrestle to a stalemate. Once back on the feet Carroll scores a takedown while both fighters look to work to a submission with no luck. Near the end of the round Mewborn rolls Carroll over and gets very close to an armbar but Carroll rolls out of it taking the fight back to its feet. The action on the feet is brief before Carroll scores a big judo throw which he turns into a guillotine. Just when it looks like Mewborn is done for, he fights out of the guillotine amazingly and begins to Ground and Pound inside Carroll’s guard.
Round 2
Round 2 starts and Mewborn comes out swinging, Carroll has no choice but to weather the storm until Mewborn takes him down and again goes to work in his guard. From here Mewborn throws some elbows to the head and then goes to work on Carroll’s left arm looking for a kimura. Carroll gets to his feet but when both fighters throw a kick at the same time Carroll gets the raw end of the deal. As he is throwing a leg kick of his own, he is kicked in mid air and falls to the ground. Mewborn follows him down and wrestles into a north south position. From here Mewborn works hard for a D`Arce choke which he works in nicely finishing the fight.
Mewborn wins by submission (D`Arce Choke) @ 2:53 in Round 2

Redline is sponsoring the series of three contents produced by Sin City over the next few months. The series promises to answer the question of just, “Who is the baddest Cage Fighter in the Southeast?”The tournament is Georgia’s first Mixed Martial Arts (MMA) series to reward the winner with over $12,000 dollars in total cash. The competition will pit eight of the Southeast’s toughest 185 pound cage fighters in a three bout, single- elimination tournament to determine who can claim they are the undisputed best of the region. Each bout will consist of three 3 minute rounds. The second bout of the tournament will be held on Friday, the 13th in November. The third and deciding bout date will be in January of 2010.
The talent selected to compete in the Redline Grand Prix tournament are a hand picked group of diverse individuals who share a history of winning, a hunger for a higher level of competition, and a desire to be labeled among the best of southeast rapidly growing professional MMA athletes.

Johnson is excited to fight under McAlister stating, “Soco’s production level’s quality is rivaled only by the U.F.C.”
Johnson is pleased that Sin City, “Goes the extra mile when it comes to making the sport’s fans participate in his programs. Sin City hosts pre and post fight events where fans are allowed to meet the fighters and party with winners,” says Johnson.
Another fan favorite participating again in Sin City’s next fight is Clint “Headbuster” Hester. Hester, who once participated in unsanctioned illegal underground fights, says “Soco is by far the most legitimate promoter of the sport I have worked with to date.” He (Soco) cares about his fighters and really loves the sport.
His fights provide a energy charged Vegas-style fight atmosphere previously unavailable for the sports fans in Georgia,” says Hester.
