Jara Stops Heath at PureCombat

It was a night where two longtime mixed martial arts veterans continued their comeback into the new age of the sport. Unfortunately for Steve Heath and Kelly Dullanty, it wasn’t such a good night.
Gladiator Challenge veteran Jaime Jara, who has only lost once in his last twelve bouts, used strong takedown defense to force Heath, who had only fought once since March 2004, onto his back throughout the first two rounds of the fight. It was in the third round where Jara was finally able to pass Heath’s guard, landing in side control and pounding away with unanswered strikes until referee Josh Rosenthal stepped in to halt the bout.
The co-main event saw Lance Wipf land a perfect Superman punch that sent a woozy Dullanty, who had not fought since losing to Matt Serra at UFC 36 in 2002, straight to the canvas, causing the fight to be stopped just nine seconds in. Any ideas of the fight being stopped prematurely were quickly wiped away as Dullanty was barely able to stand upright on his fight afterwards.

The Nevada State Athletic Commission has since overturned Jara’s loss to Anthony Lapsley in October to a no-contest due to Lapsley testing positive for marijuana.

My boy Steve has only fought “once” in the past 4 years due to a sever knee injury he got during a fight and had to have many surgery’s!. He won that “one” fight he had a few months ago, and I simply think Jara got lucky. Thats why it took him 3 rounds to take Heath down! Steve also hasa career outside of fighting and doenst have as muchtimeto train as jara, which makes it harder on Steve to train. Either way you look at it, Jara won, yes… But he should consider himself lucky. and one more thing, it quotes that Jara has only lost “one” fight in the last 12 bouts, thats a lie, he lost his last 2 fights he had. and thats just the ones I know of. why dont you go look at his stats!
