Kerr, Petit and Hansen take the Titles on TUFFA 7 Stacked - Results

TUFFA headed to Campbelltown last night for its 7th show "stacked" at the Campbelltown RSL. There were 3 title fights on the show and Daniel Kerr defeated Steve Cook via TKO to take the 84kg title, Jacob Petit defeated current title holder Mike Anderson via rear naked choke in round 2 to take the 70kg title and Ben Hansen defeated Glenn Taylor-Smith via triangle to take the 65kg title.

This is what the Promoter had to say about the fights

Awesome Fights tonight:

Thanks to all the fighters and Gyms that supported Tuffa again.

Once again Big thanks to all the Tuffa Crew, MMAOA officials, Doc’s and CSA.

This was another action packed Night - Three New Tuffa champions Ben Hansen Daniel Kerr and Jacob Pettit.

Special Mention about Steve Cook - Fought most of the 1st round with a broken arm from a devastating kick. Copped an illegal elbow that stunned him (Dan is a MT fighter and this was just instinct) and many fighters would have stopped when given the opportunity by the doctor. But Steve Cook Is just One Tuff Guy.

BT.
