F2W 161 took place in Miami, Florida on Friday 22nd January. The event was an overall success with yet another great night for Miami Fight sports with both Kodiak Fields and Cyborg both defending their titles. There were also other wins for Miami Fight sports lower down the card, however the event was somewhat overshadowed by a strange brawl in which F2W promoter and organiser Seth Daniels was punched in the face.
Roberto “Cyborg” Abreu def Tim Spriggs by decision
Tex Johnson def Arnaldo Maidana by triangle & armlock
Diego Oliveira def Gabriel Sousa by split decision
Hugo Marques def Cole Franson by decision
Chad “Kodiak” Fields def Marcos Santa Cruz by decision
Jason Rau def Enrico Cocco
Suraj Budhram def Anthony Birchak by guillotine
James Brasco def Marcelo Meleiro

Jorge Santiago def Fred Moncaio by gi choke
Orlando Castillo def Ricky Semiglia by unanimous decision
Rafael Dias def Roberto Retto by decision
Rida Haisam def Adrian Benavides
Rodrigo Gortari def Michael Rodriguez by heel hook
Whilst the brawl wasn’t on the main card, it did disrupt the event. It stemmed from the Achilles Rocha vs Michael Sainz match on the undercard in which both participants seem to strike each other several times before being stopped by the referee. This caused a fight between Team Alpha Miami and Fight Sports Miami. It is still unknown who punched Seth Daniels or why they did it.
