Javier Huerta

Javier is the new Men’s A-Class Lightweight Champion! This was Javi’s third time competing at TBA, and he finally walked away with the title. He dominated his first two fights with constant pressure and volume, even defeating an opponent that he lost to last year. In the finals, he used his boxing and movement to set up big scoring kicks in a well-rounded, composed performance. We’re proud of the work he’s put in and the growth he’s shown—this win was well deserved.

C.J. Hays

CJ Hays started off Saturday with a BIG win! CJ controlled the fight with precise boxing and use of timing/range. He won via TKO (overhand) in the 3rd round to advance to the finals.

CJ lost in the finals against a tough opponent from Maximus Muay Thai. He was caught with a clean shot and knocked out in the first round. It was also CJ’s final fight. After nearly a decade as a dedicated athlete, training partner, and leader at The Cellar, he’s hanging up the gloves. It was an emotional day for all of us, but we’re incredibly proud of everything CJ has accomplished inside the ring. We’re even more excited for what’s ahead—CJ will be stepping into a bigger role as a coach, and we can’t wait to see the next generation benefit from his knowledge, experience, and heart. We love you coach CJ!

In the finals, he delivered a dominant performance from start to finish, winning by a landslide on the scorecards. We were honestly surprised the fight wasn’t stopped—Ezra controlled every exchange and showcased beautiful clinch work throughout.

Orion Sorrell

Orion accomplished a rare achievement that very few fighters will claim — he fought five times in one weekend! Orion dominated his first four fights of the tournament with vicious side knees, powerful kicks, and beautiful movement and pressure. He lost in the finals against a very tough opponent. He dug deep and gave it everything he had, but came up just a little bit short. He walks away with a well-earned silver medal and a performance to be proud of. We’re proud of his grit, growth, and the heart he showed all weekend.

Peder Aalgaard

Peder brought insane power and put on a clinic against his first two opponents, securing his route to the semi-finals. In his third fight of the weekend, Peder stepped into the ring against an incredibly strong and powerful opponent and was unfortunately knocked out. He had a great tournament overall, showing toughness, skill, and composure throughout.

Eh Kuh Htoo

Eh Kuh won his first fight via unanimous decision and moved onto the semi-finals. Unfortunately, Eh Kuh’s win in the semi-finals was overturned after an official review. A scoring error involving a potential groin shot led to the result being changed. In the third round, Eh Kuh scored an 8-count that was removed at the time due to what was thought to be a low blow. After reviewing the footage, officials determined there was no foul and reinstated the 8-count—which ultimately cost him the fight on the scorecards. We’re disappointed with how the situation was handled, but we’re incredibly proud of Eh Kuh’s performance. He showed heart, composure, and skill in a tough matchup. He’ll be back better than ever.

Antonio Davis

Antonio displayed great boxing to win his first fight of the tournament via unanimous decision and moved onto the semi-finals. He lost his second fight by decision. Antonio landed excellent combos, but his opponent outworked him with volume and forward movement. He will take this experience back to the gym and be back stronger!

Gabriel Pesch

Gabe won a close unanimous decision against a tough opponent in his first fight. Gabe did a great job controlling the pace and mixing up the tempo with his attacks. He landed some mean right hands! He lost his second fight against a game opponent. We are proud of his performance!

Nick Jackson

Nick Jackson went to work and won his first fight via unanimous decision. Nick was able to keep pressure on his opponent and scored 3 knock downs in the fight. Next, Nick fought someone even taller than him! Both fighters had similar game plans; unfortunately, his opponent was able to edge the score cards in his favor and take the win. Nick will learn a lot from this and be back better than ever!

Logan Sahlen

Logan Sahlen lost a super close decision against a much taller, bigger opponent. Logan showcased his ability to push the pace as well as setting up devastating low kicks with his hands and footwork. This fight could have gone either way and we are excited to see Logan grow from this!

Asher Cohen

Asher Cohen lost a decision. His hands were HEAVY and showed lot of patience and good timing. It was his first Muay Thai fight and it was an excellent learning experience. He’ll be back soon!
