Damien Defeats Opponent at Fairfield Fight Fest

For those of you who missed it, Fairfield Fight Fest was a fun and exciting evening. There were many great bouts and FnF fighter, Damien Noorbakhsh, put on an action-packed performance.

Damien was up against a tough opponent, Mike Pacis, out of Cung le’s gym in San Jose.
In the first round Damien was calm and collected as he began sizing up Mike. It was pretty evenly paced for the first minute or so until Damien began landing hard right hands and a series of powerful leg kicks. Mike was able to answer back with a few punches but nothing that really affected Damien.

The second round started with a bang as Damien came out and immediately threw a hard leg kick which swept Mike off of his feet. He continued with this arsenal of left hooks and more leg kicks. Again, Mike fought with a lot of heart and hands but wasn’t able to hurt Damien. The round ended in the clinch with Damien controlling the action.

The third round continued much like the second with  Damien’s focus on Mike’s left leg.  He was also able to land a nice head shot in the middle of the round. Although Mike continued to come forward, he wasn’t able to back Damien off and in the end the unanimous decision went to Fight and Fitness. Congratulations to Damien. We look forward to his next fight—April 1st in Fresno!! Tickets on sale at the front desk!
