FIGHT PARTY PRODUCTIONS’ FULL THROTTLE III PACKS THE HOUSE!
Brett Moses proved, once again, why he is the UNDISPUTED KING of Mixed Martial Arts in Georgia. The attendance at Full Throttle III significantly surpassed the 4,000 plus recorded at the last event, Full Throttle II. The 70,000 square foot Wild Bill’s venue was filled to capacity! No fan left disappointed as the action-packed 13 bout card christened the masterfully engineered 23 foot circular cage. With three huge screens, no action was missed. Fighters from Athens (GA), Pennsylvania, Iowa, California, Ohio, Florida and, of course, Georgia gave it their all. Referees Cam McHargue and Forrest Griffin controlled the action in the ring. Moses’ first event sanctioned by both the ISCF and the Georgia Athletic and Entertainment commission went off without a hitch.

Bout 8 (150)
Cole Miller (Team Praxis) vs. Chris Mickle (De Moines Xtreme Fight Team – Iowa)
A true battle, the stand up was fairly even while Mickle dominated the take downs. The 21 year old Miller, aptly nicknamed “The Wunderkind”, went for numerous armbar, triangle and guillotine submission attempts which Mickle managed to defend. In round 3, Miller secured a triangle which Mickle appeared to be defending as well; however, Miller really bore down and Mickle was forced to Tap.
Winner – Miller – 1:39 R3 Tap Out (Triangle)
Bout 9 (175 lbs.)
Dustin Hazelett (Team Jorge Gurgel – Ohio) vs. Junior Assuncao (Velocity – Atlanta) The match of the night, Hazelett dominated the early part of the round landing some vicious strikes and securing an armbar that, quite frankly, would have submitted many a brave fighter.

Winner – Assuncao – 4:27 R1 (Ref Stoppage)

Winner - Bedard – 5:00 R2 Doctor Stoppage
Bout 12 (195 lbs.)
Charles “Chainsaw” McCarthy (FFA/Praxis – Miami, FL) vs.
Mike “The Minivan” Van Meer (De Moines Xtreme Fight Team – Iowa)
The 5‘3” Minivan was surprisingly agile and it was quickly apparent that his intentions were to keep Chainsaw off the ground. After numerous exchanges, McCarthy was able to take Van Meer to the ground, attaining the side mount before the bell sounded ending round 1. Round 2 began much the same; however, McCarthy took Van Meer down, attained the mount and began striking. Van Meer was able to deflect many of the blows and Chainsaw then took the arm and secured the armbar.
Winner – McCarthy – 4:09 R2 Tap Out (Armbar)
Bout 10 (Pro Light Heavyweight MMA)
