Prangley wins mixed martial arts bout

AMARILLO, Texas - Former North Idaho College wrestler Trevor Prangley spoiled Keith Jardine's valiant attempt to put the brakes on a five-fight losing streak with a spilt decision win over the Jackson's Mixed Martial Arts veteran in the Shark Fights 13 main event Saturday night at the Amarillo Civic Center Coliseum.

According to www.sharkfights.com, Prangley (23-6-1) landed head and body knees, as well as a short right hook to soften Jardine before they scrambled onto the canvas in the first round. Jardine (15-9-1) locked in a tight armbar, but the South African Olympic wrestling alternate managed to free himself. In side control, Prangley tried to target elbows on a cut over Jardine's right eye. Jardine, who suffered two knockouts in his last three outings before the UFC released him, made it to his feet and landed a flush right to get back in the game.

The second round played out on its feet, as both began to show signs of fatigue. Halfway through, Prangley dropped Jardine with a right, smelled blood and went in for the kill. Jardine returned to his feet.

Jardine began to work in his kicks in the final round, as the crowd chanted for "The Ultimate Fighter 2" veteran. Jardine connected with a stinging right in the final minute and then another, but as he has proved in the past, the American Kickboxing Academy-based Prangley was just too durable a fighter to finish.
