Moe Ahmadi vs Elvin Hoxha – Lightweight Pro Fight
Round 1
Ahmadi landing kicks early, and the reach is making all the difference. Hoxha lunges in with an overhand left then manages to get a take-down.
Kimura to sweep and Ahmadi, the Pancrase fighter, on top. Elvin is now on top half way through the round, and sitting landing some punches to the body as Moe looks to set up a submission. High guard, and then a quick arm triangle attempt.
Round 2
Ahmadi with a swift left kick to the body. Some success for Elvin gain with that left hand. Hoxha moving forward. Solid overhand right from the Pancrase fighter, and Elvin doesn’t want it on the feet anymore and dives in to a double-leg take-down. Ahmadi has his back against the cage, and now on his back. However he throws his long legs up, with one over the arm. Moe squeezes with his hand locked around his knee and yells that Elvin tapped. The fight is now over at 2:47 seconds of round 2.
