Daniel Hooper from Ultimate Martial Arts Melbourne was also from a great stable of fighters trained by the great Vincent Busuttil, Dan has great stand up skills due to his kick boxing past.

This was one jaw dropping match up, both athletes displayed great resistance as they exchanged blows all hitting their mark, both athletes taking some hard hits to the head and kicks to the body then with 40seconds remaining in the first round Rob was able to take Dan to the ground and start to work on a submission as the 1st round come to an end.

Both athletes were given instruction from their coaches to give it their all at any cost, with the 2nd round starting in the same manner as the first, with the crowd on their feet as both athletes were showing signs of fatigue from heavy blows at one point both were punch for punch as Rob started to try and throw Dan to the ground to gain points by trying to choke Dan several times, but Dan was still able to avoid some of Rob’s attacks and continue to exchange blows as the seconds closed for the end of the round both giving it one more burst of attacks.

The judges had to make a decision and it was very close with local athlete Rob Josevski winning on decision.
