Last Thursday, January 20th, Alive MMA hosted caged fights at the Zoo night club right here in Vancouver, WA. The event had an extra little twist to it... an old school open grappling challenge.

The gauntlet was thrown down to anyone in the crowd:
Free drinks for the night to anyone who could tap out Judo Jon Krohn.
Who is Judo John? Weighing it at an estimated 250 lbs he is a beast of a Professional fighter,
IFL veteran, Judo National Champion '04, 2nd degreen Kodokan Judo black belt, BJJ purple belt, and senior instructor at alive MMA.
So as the night progressed, as you could imagine, very few people were willing to take on the challenge of tapping out Judo John.
Since no one had the balls to step up and at least try, our own Ian Vossler decided he'd give it a go.
The crowd was shocked! Judo John has probably 100 lbs on Ian (or so it looks)... Of course there were a lot of haters in the crowd, but they don't know about Ian's skills.
Ian went in the cage, grabbed the mic, plugged the school, and proceeded with his game plan.
Within three minutes he had John tapping!!
No one was prepared for it, so we weren't able to capture it on video (Ian tapped him out wearing jeans!!), but someone should be posting a copy of the tape on YouTube supposidly. We'll see if the video surfaces... or if it becomes suppressed. If I find it I will be sure to post it.
Great job Ian!!
