Cerberus Emissus – Ordo Draconis

Match starts @ 39:48 in video.

Match #1

When the fighting starts, both teams waste no time. There are top tier wrestlers and flankers on both sides of the match up. The first takedown happens on the top rail when Cerberus Captain pulls down an Ordo fighter taking a fellow Cerberus (Micah Krug) with him. The fight is 4/4. Ordo presses and gets another takedown on the top rail. Because the Ordo fighter went chest to chest on the takedown and stood back up, he waits to see if the Marshal calls him down. The marshal says he can stay upright and Ordo has a 4/3 advantage. An Ordo fighter gets pulled down on the bottom rail and it’s an even match again. Both an Ordo fighter and Cerberus fighter go down when Ordo tries a takedown making it 2/2. The Final fighters for Cerberus are Johny Porter and Matt Creedican, so the last two Ordo are against two of the best grapplers in the league. Creedican pushes Colin Martineau over a pile of bodies and it’s 2/1 Cerberus! Johny and Creed work together to reap the leg of the last Ordo fighter to take the win.

ANALYSIS

This matchup was steady and dead even for most of the fight with every takedown getting matched by the other team. Cerberus worked hard to neutralize the cross checking ability of Ordo Draconis and stuck to a strict game plan of fighting on the perimeter. The plan faltered but payed off against a seasoned team of experienced fighters.
