Repost from BJJTraining.com - Neil “Chaos” Cooke wins the King of the Cage super heavyweight title

I know this is a late post but I wanted to include it in my blog. Neil is a personal friend and great guy, my wife also does his hair from time to time in preparation for his fights. Everyone who trains with Neil or knows him is thrilled with his accomplishments in MMA and the fact he is truly a great ambassador to the sport. (Watch for his upcoming interview in MMA Magazine July 2009).

Pinnacle fighter Neil “Chaos” Cooke wins the King of the Cage super heavyweight title

On February 26, 2009, at the San Manual Bingo and Casino in San Bernardino, California, King of the Cage held its Immortal Mixed Martial Arts event. Our very own Pinnacle fighter Neil Cooke was getting his first opportunity to capture a title championship. His opponent was a tough MMA veteran named the “King of the Streets” Chance Williams.

The actual fight did not last long, but provided much excitement to the sold-out crowd. When the bell rang, both fighters Neil and Chance met in the middle of the cage and exchanged a quick 1-2 punch before clinching up. Chance weighing in at over 315 lbs by fight time had little trouble picking up the 268-lb Neil Cooke and driving him to the ground.

Neil quickly scrambled to his feet and both fighters gamely went through several combinations before Chance was able to achieve the clinch and take Neil to the ground for a second time. However, Neil showed no signs of quitting and again got up to his feet. Once on his fee,t a battle ensued with both fighters trying to get dominate clinch position.

Neil fended off several takedown attempts and after a scramble, Neil got a dominate top position on Chance. Neil wasted no time in delivering some devastating ground-n-pound punches which forced Chance to assume a turtle position to protect himself. Neil seized the opportunity to rotate to the side maintaining good hip control and pinning Chance to the ground along the cage. Neil began to deliver some heavy punches to the side of Chance’s face and after a barrage of un-answered punches it appeared that Chance was no longer able to protect himself and the referee stepped in and called a stop to the fight 3 minutes into the match.

Neil “Chaos” Cooke is now the King Of the Cage Super Heavyweight Champion—a well-deserved victory for a well-trained MMA fighter. Neil Cooke appears to have a bright future in MMA and we all look forward to his continued rise into the elite class of heavyweights.
