Gracie drops pro debut, Davis stays perfect

Khonry Gracie (0-1 MMA, 0-1 BMMA), the son of UFC Hall of Famer and MMA legend Royce Gracie, was largely ineffective over the course of 15 minutes, falling short in a unanimous decision to fellow debuting fighter Devon Brock (1-0 MMA, 1-0 BMMA).

Brock took the center of the cage to start, and the taller Gracie circled on the outside, landing a few low kicks in the early going before partially landing a glancing high kick, as well. With Brock generally the one moving forward, Gracie elected to retreat and counter from range before finally shooting inside at the halfway mark of the round. Brock defended well against the cage before circling off and landing an uppercut on the break. A second Gracie takedown attempt saw him move inside and pull guard, where he quickly worked his legs high for a triangle choke attempt. Brock was never in trouble in the hold, and he smoothly escaped a subsequent armbar attempt, as well, finishing the round with strikes from the top.

Brock again took the center in the second, with Gracie looking to stay at range and strike on the outside. Brock remained patient on the outside and countered with low kicks and sharp jabs. A Gracie takedown attempt late in the round again came up short, and Brock seemed unconcerned with anything his opponent offered on the feet. At the bell, it was actually Brock who scored a takedown, though the round ended before he could do anything with the position.

The crowd was restless at the start of the third, booing a lack of action between the two. Gracie shot inside 90 seconds into the frame but was pushed away with relative ease. Referee Mike Beltran verbally encouraged the fighters to engage, but it was Brock who got the best of the strikes and easily defended any takedown attempts. Gracie simply couldn’t get anything going on the feet and was unable to take the fight to the floor, leaving him little opportunities for offense. Brock again punctuated the final bell with a successful takedown attempt and cruised to a decision win, 30-27 on all three cards.

In the night’s first professional contest, welterweight prospect Joey Davis (3-0 MMA, 3-0 BMMA) kept his undefeated record intact in perhaps the most unexpected way possible. Engaging on the feet with opponent Ian Butler (3-4 MMA, 0-4 BMMA) from the opening bell, Davis has his share of success with punches and elbows in the pocket but ultimately landed a spinning kick to the liver that saw his foe crumple to the floor. Realizing Butler was defenseless while in agony, referee Blake Grice halted the fight 39 seconds after it began.
