NAAFS Amateur 155 lb Title Bout-Joe Goyette vs. Clint Musser

Sunday, December 5th, 2010
155 lbs Title Bout- Joe Goyette (Team Air Gadfly) vs. Clint Musser (Evolve MMA)
If memory serves me, I believe that Musser is a stocky fighter and has collegiate wrestling
experience, having wrestled for the Penn State Nittany Lions. Being a Buckeye myself, I am
going to have a real problem if the crowd breaks out in the “WE ARE— PENN STATE” cheer,
but I don’t anticipate that tonight, and Cael Sanderson and Joe Paterno are nowhere to be found.
Goyette enters the cage looking calm and confident. Having seen both men in action previously,
this should be an action-packed fight. Musser is fighting for Evolve MMA, a gym from nearby
Akron (who, coincidentally, hates Lebron), and receives a very warm welcome.
Round 1
Musser shoots for a quick takedown and Goyette shows some excellent takedown defense before
yielding the takedown. Goyette quickly moves to take Musser into his guard. Musser scoots
Goyette across the cage on his back and works towards his corner. Musser looks to pass to
sidemount, but Goyette only allows him to go to half-guard. Musser looks to trap Goyette’s arm
with his knee and trom some strikes. Musser grabs for a guillotine, and cranks it up to a standing
guillotine. Goyette hangs tough and the round ends. I scored it for Clint Musser 10-9.
Round 2
Goyette is the longer-limbed fighter, and seems to be keeping Musser at bay with his jabs.
Musser waits for Goyette to punch and then scores a lightning-quick takedown into Goyette’s
guard. Musser presses Goyette into the cage, giving him no room to work from the bottom. Not
much in the way of striking damage, but Musser is doing enough from the top to keep the fight
from being restarted on the feet. Another 10-9 round for Clint Musser. From my vantage point,
Goyette will need to finish the fight to leave here with the victory.
Round 3
Goyette looks confident with his strikes, but Musser looks intent on taking the fight to the
ground wit another takedown. Musser has a takedown and is looking tired. Goyette creates some
space and gets to his feet. Musser looks exhausted on his feet and is frantically looking to take
the fight to the ground. Goyette’s reach advantage is not a factor on the ground. Musser moves
to sidemount and then mount and finishes the round by throwing a series of bombs to the face of
Goyette. I had the fight scored 30-27 for Clint Musser, but we’ll send it to the announcer for the
official word from the judges.
Clint Musser wins the 2010 NAAFS Amateur Series National Championship in the
Lightweight Division by unanimous decision.
NAAFS women’s fighter Jessica “Evil” Eye is in attendance tonight, and I have heard
rumors of a big announcement for Jessica. Jessica is a warrior that puts in serious time in
the gym, and certainly deserves all of the success that she earns in her career.

Joe Goyette vs Andrew Jordan

Saturday, August 28th, 2010

Goyette fights for Team Air-Gadfly, a team that is well-represented in the NAAFS. I am told Goyette has a 7 second knockout, which is an NAAFS record.  Jordan is undefeated at 4-0. Jordan hails from nearby Bay Village, Ohio and has the loudest welcome of the night thus far.

Goyette throws heavy hands and Jordan is momentarily wobbled. Jordan shoots a low single, takes the leg and runs the pipe for a takedown. Jordan goes to the guard of Goyette. There is a questionable stand-up by the ref as both fighters seem to be jockeying for control. Goyette throws a heavy right hand . Jordan and Goyeteet throw some  wild punches as round 1 ends. In a close round, I will score this one to Jordan 10-9.

Goyette takes a shot and can’t maintain control on the ground. Both fighters are throwing crisp strikes. Jordan is split open above his left eye. lots of wild strikes. Jordan is really bleeding now. Jordan shoots for a takedown and Goyette sprawls. Round 2 ends. Goyette 10-9. Round 3 will decide it.

Jordan shoots for a takedown and Goyette shows some serious takedown defense. Both fighters are showing serious wrestling chops Jordan shoots wildly and momentarily gives up his back. Back to the feet. Jordan pumps a few slick jabs to the eye of Goyette. Both fighters look gassed and just tie up for an extended period. Short time and Jordan misses a takedown. This one is going to the scorecards.

Winner by split decision Joe Goyette.
