Weekend Rundown: Sass Captures OMMAC Belt
Brian Knapp Oct 5, 2009
Unbeaten British prospect Paul Sass
unseated Rob
Sinclair by split decision to capture the Olympian MMA
Championships lightweight title at OMMAC 2 “Business as Usual” on
Saturday at the Liverpool Olympia in Liverpool, England.
Sass scored consistently with takedowns throughout the three-round affair and avoided multiple submission attempts, including a heel hook, from the defending champion. Perfect through nine professional matches, Sass won his first eight fights by submission, seven of them inside one round. Spawned by the Next Generation gym in Liverpool, he has emerged as one of the top five prospects in Europe. Sass has also spent time training under the Jackson’s Mixed Martial Arts umbrella in Albuquerque, N.M.
Sinclair, who lost for the first time since his July 2008
submission defeat to Bellator Fighting Championships veteran
Greg
Loughran, saw his three-fight winning streak come to a
halt.

In the co-main event, prospect John Eric Marriot remained unbeaten, as he earned a unanimous verdict against UFC veteran Ryan Roberts. A Team Grindhouse product, Marriott has gone the distance in nearly half (seven) of his 16 career appearances. Roberts has now lost five consecutive fights.
