Strikeforce Promotions organized another televised Fox sport event in beautiful Gold Coast Australia. IFMA Bronze Medal winner Danny “DDD” Derdowski took on Daniel Jones (Thai). This fight had the capacity crowd on the edge of their seats and “DDD”; definitely a medal-worthy, took the fight by TKO in round 4. Next up, was the Australian WMC Champion Mark Sarracino versus Brodie Smith. Sarracino showed his class taking the fight decision by points. The main event was Mohd Ali B Yaakub, the Malaysian Champion versus Flip Street for the ASIAN Pacific Title. Yaakub took the fight on short notice and put on a great performance. He stepped up a division demonstrating that Malaysia is really developing as one of the world powerhouses for fighters. However, it was Flip (under traiing of world famous, John Wayne Parr) that made Australia proud that evening by taking a point decision and keeping the Asian Pacific Title belt for Australia. It was a great performance by Yaakub from Malaysia who will be taking on Australian champion, Chris White in his division next. Flip will be defending his title against the next Asian Challenger. Congratulations to Strike Force. Keep watching Fox Sport and the WMC Network! Source: http://www.ifmamuaythai.org/HTML/09_0318_GoldCoast.html
