Hoosier Fight Club 33 Results & Highlights

Hoosier Fight Club 33 commenced this past weekend in front of a packed crowd at the Horseshoe Casino in Hammond, Indiana.

A total of four championships were on the line on Saturday over the course of the 12-fight card. There were several great finishes and back-and-forth battles, but the three fights that stuck out the most were the final three bouts of the evening.

Michael Santiago became a two-division champion as he defeated late replacement Nick Wayne via TKO in round one. Santiago improved his record to 20-9 and extended his win streak to an impressive ten straight.

In the Co-Main Event, Larry Digiuilo captured the HFC flyweight title by submitting Mark Sainci via guillotine just 33 seconds into round one. Diguilio is now 19-8 and has cemented himself as the number one flyweight in all of the midwest regional rankings.

In the Main Event of the evening, Chepe “Machine Gun” Mariscal went to war with Brady Hovermale. In the end, it was Chepe who came away victorious after a brutal flurry finished Hovermale in the fourth round. Mariscal (6-2) is now the undisputed HFC featherweight champion, and a fast-rising star under the Alliance MMA banner.
