World Championship Fighting (WCF) 8 quick results for Sept. 26 Wilmington event

by Jesse Holland on Sep 27, 2009 4:06 AM EDT

World Championship Fighting (WCF) held its eighth event yesterday (Sept. 26), storming the Aleppo Shriner’s Auditorium in Wilmington, Massachusetts.

After compiling an impressive 5-1 record under the WCF banner, veteran John Benoit was upended by Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu brown belt Hitalo Machado. The American Top Team product wasted little time in making his debut a memorable one, choking out the venerable Benoit just over two minutes into the first round.

Mike Campbell returned to the WCF after an unsuccessful 0-2 run in the WEC. Apparently you can go home again, because "The Beast" planished Team Rhino and New Jersey native Mike Medrano with his patented ground and pound in the opening stanza.

After the fight, Medrano blasted referee Kevin MacDonald for a premature stoppage and the downed fighter insisted he was working for guard when K-Mac threw in the towel.

"Special attraction" Kimbo Slice was in the house during a layover for his appearance on "Late Night with Jimmy Fallon." Slice, a friend of WCF promoter Joseph Cavallaro, was on hand taking photographs and pimping his recent stint on The Ultimate Fighter 10.

Here are the WCF 8 complete results:

Mike Campbell def. Mike Medrano via TKO (Strikes) 3:12 R1
Hitalo Machado def. John Benoit via Submission (Rear-naked choke) 2:04 R1
Dennis Olsen def. Ryan Schielding via Submission (Armbar) 1:04 R1
Josh LeBerge def. Dan Bonnell via TKO (Strikes) 1:20 R1
Josh Key def. Luis Felix via TKO (Strikes) 0:51 R3
Joe McGann def. Jason Dublin via Unanimous Decision
John Ortolani def. Travis Lerchen via TKO (Punches) 2:16 R1
Noah Wiseman def. Eddie Felix via Submission (Rear-Naked Choke) 3:38 R1
Saul Almeida def. Kevin Corrigan via Unanimous Decision
Aniss Alhajjajy def. Brent Reed via Submission (Rear-Naked Choke) 3:47 R2

I think we should get use to seeing Kimbo Slice on the tube. UFC will make lots of $$$ because of him.

I think it is funny how Dana bitched about EliteXC shamelessly exploiting Kimbo and now their whole season of TUF is advertised just by showing pictures of Kimbo.

Joseph “The Cav” Cavallaro is 100% a joke. Not only does he have the worst business practices at the WFC…. but he literally walks around as if he is better than everyone. I see him around all the time at events, local bars, and Ive even done business with him to help promote the WFC…. and the dude is a hot headed embarrassment to MMA. Dont know why Dana ever did business with him back when he was starting out. Word to the wise…. avoid this guy at all costs. Such a pompous ass clown.

Sorry Mania…. I dont normally like to be negative but I can not stand this guy. I kept it clean in respect to the forums.

Joe,

Is probably the best business man I know. In my dealings with him he has been honest and upfront every time. I may not have always Liked what he had to say, but it has always been a win win.
