Stoppages were the name of the game at the World Cagefighting Championships Memorial Day Combat in Allentown, PA on May 28. Just two of five amateur bouts, and none of the five professional bouts, went to decision.

In the night's main event, undefeated heavyweight Chris "Beast Boy" Barnett scored a second-round TKO against late replacement Joel Wyatt. Wyatt used his size advantage to stifle Barnett's offense, bullying the 23-year-old Gracie Tampa fighter against the cage and taking him down. Barnett was able to get back up and start landing shots late in the round, but Wyatt took the round on the judges' scorecards based on his superior control.

Barnett started the second round aggressively, landing big shots early and often. The two-time Georgia state champion powerlifter and wrester's big right hand did most of the talking, but Wyatt proved tough to finish and absorbed heavy shots to the head and body. Barnett put Wyatt down with a knee from the clinch, and finished the fight with ground and pound about halfway through the second round. With the win, Barnett improves to 4-0.

In what was surely the fight of the night, Virginia-based lightweight Noe Quintanilla scored a third-round, come-from-behind knockout of the Rat Pack Fighting System's Joel Roberts. Quintanilla's toughness and defense carried him through a host of bad positions and submission attempts. Roberts threatened to finish the fight in the first round with an armbar, a triangle, and an omaplata, and showed good takedowns and positional control. Quintanilla spent most of the second round with Roberts back-mounted, defending rear naked choke attempts.

Quintanilla, down on the scorecards but still looking fresh, roared out of his corner to begin the third round and proceeded to light Roberts up on the feet. He scored with a series of jab-cross combinations until a right hand put Roberts down. Quintanilla pounced, and referee Keith Peterson stepped in at 0:27 of the third round. Quintanilla snapped a two-fight losing streak with the win.

Scott "the Hammer" Heckman needed just 2:20 to finish Dustin Carroll in a battle of lightweights. Heckman shot in for a double, but Carroll threatened with a guillotine choke from half-guard. Heckman escaped and unleashed the ground and pound, forcing Carroll to turn over and turtle. Seconds later, referee Keith Peterson stopped the fight.

It was a disappointing night for local favorite Pat "Demon" Russo, as the Allentown native and Pennsylvania State Trooper suffered a dislocated shoulder during a scramble with Erik Purcell. Russo attempted a takedown and the two light heavyweights scrambled for position. After an inverted triangle attempt by Purcell, Russo got on top and started landing shots, but was unable to hold position as Purcell swept the Allentown native. Russo landed hard on his shoulder and was unable to continue. Purcell improved his pro record to 1-1, and a ring official popped Russo's shoulder back into place in the center of the cage, much to the chagrin of the crowd.

In the evening's first main card bout, heavyweight Carlos Cline, fighting for the first time in more than three years, won a battle for bragging rights against fellow Renzo Gracie purple belt Matt Soares. Cline took Soares down in the opening seconds, softened him up with strikes, locked in a kimura and coaxed the tapout 58 seconds into the first round.

According to Cline, who had been on the shelf for 40 months due to an ACL injury, Soares is a disgruntled former Renzo Gracie student who left to start his own gym. With what...
