Former All-American wrestler C.B. Dollaway moved to 2-0 in his career in competition against Mike Massenzio, as the middleweight stopped his former wrestling opponent by TKO in the first round of their fight on Saturday night

Massenzio had made numerous comments heading into the bout talking about their previous match in wrestling, but he stayed composed early on and even landed a good punch that put Dollaway down on the mat. As the two fighters scrambled, Massenzio locked on a guillotine choke as Dollaway tried for the takedown. While the maneuver seemed tight, the former Arizona State wrestler worked his way out, taking advantage of the position soon after.

“I don’t remember it,” Dollaway said about the choke. “Yeah, maybe it was close, but I didn’t feel it, got out, did what I needed to do and pounded him out.”

What Dollaway did next was improve his position, taking the mount and almost immediately Massenzio rolled to his belly to avoid punches. It was that move that brought the end of the fight as Dollaway flattened his opponent out on the canvas and pounded him out with heavy shots from above.

“Mike’s a tough competitor,” Dollaway commented after the win. “I wrestled him in junior college nationals, he was tough there, felt strong out there tonight, so I was just glad to come out with a victory.”

Dollaway has now won his last two bouts in a row in convincing fashion, as the Arizona Combat Sports team member moves on in the ever-competitive UFC middleweight division.
