After a year out of the MMA scene Robert Sabaruddin stepped up for his second pro MMA match at Tuffa 6 on Saturday night. Although suffering from a little fight rust, Rob went straight in for the kill scoring several takedowns in a very exciting first round, in which both fighter showed good Jiu-Jitsu skills & had opportunities to finish the fight.
Round 2 started in much the same fashion, Rob shooting in for a well executed takedown. Positioning his opponent against the cage & carrying out some grueling ground & pound that nearly finished the fight. In a good show of strength & heart his opponent was able to reverse the position & sink in a rear naked choke that ended the fight.
Although a disappointing result, this was a great peformance from Rob & certainly has his name buzzing amongst promoters & spectators alike.
Not to be forgotten that Rob was fighting up a weight class from his natural weight let alone his cutting weight & fighting a guy coming down a weight class that didn't even make weight.
Well done Rob, you are a true warrior. We are all very proud of you.
