Wow, what a blast last Saturday night. I was hosting the Asylum Fight League show at Fort Dix and it was a huge success. The place was packed.  It was standing room only for well over a thousand troops as two hardcore bands rocked the house before the fights began.  And once the bell rang,  the action was, as Crazy Eddie would say, insane! Carl Mascarenhas (left),  promoter and head inmate at the Asylum, really knows how to put on a show.  He gets the job done time and time again.  And what always strikes me the most is how much he cares for the fighters.  Carl knows that the fighters of the Asylum today are the future stars of the UFC tomorrow.  These are the feeder shows from which the UFC gets its talent, and Carl sees to it the fighters are well matched and brought along carefully. And since the shows all take place in the state of New Jersey--Nick Lembo territory--a safe and happy time is guaranteed for all. Here are some notes on the event. Complete results after the jump. It was a cool feeling being back on base, passing through military check points.  It's been a lot of years since my stint in the Air Force and it's always a trip down memory lane when I'm on a military installation among people in uniform. I got a little lost trying to find the venue on base, and happened to be driving behind a military police officer. For some reason he pulled over, so I decided to pull over and ask directions.  We both got out of our vehicles and I walked up to him and said:  It's almost like I just pulled you over. The officer threw up his hands and said: Hey, I didn't do it. I swear! He did that so convincingly that for a split second I thought I should  either arrest him or rough him up a bit and let him go with a warning.  Then I remembered that I wasn't really a cop and he was.  So I politely asked for the directions and headed over to the rec center. It sure didn't seem like a rec center inside. The place was tricked out. The cage loomed in the center of the room, surrounded by a sea of  chairs. Then the vast enclosure started filling up and the electricity grew and pretty soon the bands were rocking the house. After that it was time for the  fighters to rock each other, which they did to great effect, wowing the crowd in the process. Even though there were a lot of fights, the crowd was totally into it and stayed there until the end.   I started losing my voice towards the very end but made it through.  The good news was that 0ne of the physicians at ring side, Dr. Sherry Wulkan, gave me a large bottle of water for resuscitative purposes on the long drive home.  The bad news was that I spaced the water and left it inside the venue, not realizing my mistake until I was already miles away.  Parched, I kicked myself in the ass all the way home. Oh and I almost forgot about my inside the cage faux pas.  I was introducing the very hard working Noah Spitalnick, the Asylum event coordinator, and I mispronounced his last name.  When he brought it to my attention, I told him that I'd correct it. Then I went back into the cage and called him Nick instead of Noah.  But at least I got the Spitalnick part right.  Don't worry, Noah, at the next show it will all come together, I promise! The next Asylum Fight League event is March 14. I'll have lots more on that show later on.  And now here are the complete results for the Battle at Fort Dix. 170.5 Max Bereznyak vs. 172 Mike Marco Bereznyak win via tap due to armbar at 1:03 of round one Referee Peterson 134 Claudio Ledesma vs. 138.75 Patrick Paulo All three 29-28 unanimous decision 3 rounds for Paulo Referee Peterson 169.25 Pete Burdge vs. 172.5 Samuel Bowman All three judges unanimous decision 3 rounds 30-27 for Burdge Referee Peterson 142 Mike Serrano vs. 144.5 Raymond Brady All three Judges 30-27 unanimous decision three rounds for Brady Referee Peterson 128 Josh Aarons vs. 126 Travis Gause Referee Carolei All three judges 30-27 unanimous decision three rounds for Aarons 146.5 Dennis Toral vs. 144 Travis Wynn Wynn win at 0:27 of round two via referee stoppage TKO due to punches Referee Peterson 178 Wesley Carvalho vs. 179 Joe Perry All three judges 30-27 unanimous decision three rounds for Perry Referee Carolei Carvalho needs neurolgical clearance prior to next bout 170 Chris Traskey vs. 168 Mark Martinez Martinez via rear naked choke at 2:23 of round two Referee Peterson 202.25 Rafal Niewardowski vs 204.5 Sergio Guiterrez Guiterrez win via armbar at 1:22 of round one Referee Carolei 179 Jay Baxley vs 176 Gilbert Castillo Castillo wins via TKO referee stoppage due to kick at 2:24 of round 3 Referee Carolei 166.5 Thad Campbell vs. 163.25 Frank Marshall All three judges 29-28 unanimous decision three rounds for Marshall Referee Carolei 159.5 Piotr Andrejko vs. 160 Tom English English win unanimous decision three rounds, Krawiec 30-27, Rodriguez and Oliver 29-28 Referee Carolei 148 Craig Alexander vs 146 Nate Hasara Hasara win three rounds unanimous decision, Rodriguez and Oliver 30-27 and Krawiec 29-28 Referee Peterson 198 Chris Irving vs 191 Stelian Rizea Rizea win via rear naked choke at 2:34 of round two Referee Carolei 266 Kevin Pifko vs 270 Sean McCullin Referee Carolei Pifko win via rear naked choke at 1:09 of round two 160 James Garzillo vs 153.5 Scott Gregg Garzillo win via KO punch at 0:57 of round one Referee Peterson 208 Jason Moore vs 206 Erik Purcell Referee Peterson All three judges score 30-27 unanimous decision three rounds for Purcell 189 Tajuddin Abdul Hakim vs 190 Noah Fuance All three judges score 30-27 three rounds unanimous decision for Fuance Referee Peterson 137.5 Jose Villanueva vs 137 Donald Koch All three judges 30-27 three rounds unanimous decision for Villanueva Referee Peterson
