Destiny Past,Present, & Future full recap

 

Destiny presented Past, Present, Future at The Waterfront at Aloha Tower on Oct. 21, but the event was cut short after a downfall of rain, which caused Commissioner Alan Taniguchi to call an end to the fights right before the fifth fight of the night. The cage was covered with a tarp before fans started taking their seats, but  the mat still had to be vacuumed and wiped down with towels to get rid of all the excess water.Only three pankration matches happened that night, and the first pankration fight was cancelled after a no-show.  The first match pitted Marlon Calventis of Bulls Pen against freelance fighter Charles Matias for a 165 lbs. bout, but after waiting for about 10 minutes the announcement was made that Matias was a no-show. When Calventis heard the news, anger took over his body as he punched the side of the cage.

Elliot Kamaka of West Oahu MMA and Jaymes Schultes of South Oahu MMA competed for the 155 lbs. pankration fight, and Kamaka came out victorious by decision after the second round. During the first round both Kamaka and Schultes dominated on the ground, but in round two, Kamaka managed to get Schultes into a rear-naked submission. Schultes was able to maneuver his way out of the hold, and threw in one last punch just after the end bell sounded. The third fight of  the night between Tood Woods of Bulls Pen and freelance fighter Curtis Coole. This was by far the quickest fight of the night. Woods managed to get Coole into a guillotine choke within the first 15 seconds of the round, and Coole tapped almost immediately.

The last fight of the night before Tanugichi called a stop to the event was a 145 lbs. pankration match between Kevin Stevens of Combat 50 and Daniel Joseph of Bulls Pen. In round one, Joseph almost immediately took Stevens down and proved dominant on the mat, but Stevens showed his stand-up skills by delivering a couple hard kicks to Joseph’s left leg. Round two was all Joseph, who not only dished out punch after punch, but also succeeded in the take down that ended in an arm bar in the middle of the round giving Stevens the victory.

Jared Iha of No Remorse and Drake Fujimoto of Relson Gracie Academy were supposed to be the fifth fight of the night.
