June 13, Team Revolution of Revolution MMA Benton AR returned to the cage to fight in Jacksonville, AR.

Up on the card first was Travis Panther. If you've trained at REVOLUTION for awhile you know Travis. He's been very dedicated to the program, traveling over 1 hour one way just to be here. His work causes him to miss often when he's out of town, but when he's here you will see his face in the gym. Travis first fight was an exhibition (no winner). He lost almost 30 lbs in the process of getting ready for this fight. He even sat in a sauna the day of the fight to make sure he was exactly at weight. He was able to work on his standup and ground game, and get a feel for what he'll be doing should he decide to take a real fight. We were proud of him for getting out there.

The main event of the night was Wes Baxter. Wes is a constant presence in REVOLUTION MMA Benton and Hot Springs. He trains hard and helps with the programs. He's been training hard for this fight, working to get down to his new lower weight class. Wes came out strong like always. He was able to quickly take his opponent, a seasoned wrestler, down in the first round. Wes worked to his back and sunk in a choke, bringing him a victory early on in Round 1. Good work Wes!
