Brand new mixed martial arts promotion, "Arena Rumble," hosted its debut event last night (Saturday, Sept. 12) from the Spokane Veterans Memorial Arena in Spokane, Washington.

Several ex-UFC and Elite XC fighters competed on the card, including main event participants, Jeremy "Gumby" Horn and Jason Guida. In a battle between a former UFC light heavyweight number one contender and a cast off from season eight of "The Ulitmate Fighter," "Gumby" notched career win number 52 by way of submission.

It didn't take him long, either.

Horn slapped a fight-ending arm choke on Clay Guida's older brother rather quickly in the first round, capturing his second straight win while handing Guida his fifth straight loss.

In the co-main event, Strikeforce and UFC veteran Trevor Prangley landed a brutal one punch knockout over Dennis Reed just 20 seconds into the contest. With the win, Prangley improved his overall record to 21-5 and notched his tenth win in his last 11 appearances.

The night wasn't so kind to two other former UFC fighters as hard-hitting middleweight Terry Martin and Goliath heavyweight Brad Imes were each put to sleep with knockout blows before the final bells of their respective bouts.

Martin was laid down by Julio Paulino in the third round while Imes also made it through two and a half rounds before being stopped in the third frame by Josh Queen.

Current undefeated Strikeforce prospect Lyle "Fancy Pants" Beerbohm was also victorious on the card, keeping his perfect record intact (13-0) with a first round technical knockout over Josh Martin.

Here are the full results from the action:

Jeremy Horn defeated Jason Guida via submission (arm choke) in round one
Trevor Prangley defeated Dennis Reed via knockout in round one
Lyle Beerbohm defeated Josh Martin via technical knockout in round one
Josh Queen defeated Brad Imes via technical knockout in round three
Sidney Silva defeated Mike Hanks via unanimous decision
Carmen Cassella defeated Matt Williams via knockout in round two.
Julio Paulino defeated Terry Martin via knockout in round three
Tyson Jeffries defeated Will Noland via submission (triangle choke) in the second round
Tyson Lam defeated Zach Lari via unanimous decision

That's a wrap from Spokane. Enjoy some football today, Maniacs!

Prangley needs a step up in competition, I’d like to see him back in the UFC, I don’t think he’d necessarily achieve anything amazing, but I think there could be some interesting and entertaining fights for him.

Travis Fulton is 191 – 45 – 11. Not sure if thats the most, but it’s gotta be close. He’s fought damn near everyone in the world. Horn’s got 82. Glad to see Horn won, I remember Martin in the UFC before the Leben fight, saying he was ready for A. Silva. That fight would last like 2 seconds.

Terry Martin is a joke ..

I think he was ko’d his last 3-4 fights … Dude must have some kindah head injury.

Leben knocked him out , Scott Smith , Vitor Belfort and now Julio Paulino lo … Not too mention he lost too Martin Eastman and Zac Cummings.

At one time I thought Martin vs Mcfederies would have been a awesome bout , but its quite obvious Martin couldnt take 1 shot from Drew.

UFC doesn’t guarantee fighters more than a fight or two a year, and has exclusivity that precludes their ability to fight on other cards. Prangley holds the MFC Light Heavyweight world championship belt and the Bodog Middleweight World Championship belts, although Bodog is done he will still have the opportunity to defend the MFC belt and fight on his Strikeforce contract. Prangley is at the top of his game and one hell of a dangerous 185 pounder who can fight at his walking around weight of 205, but is a huge 185.
