American Stand-Up sponsored Team GETYASOME traveled to
Tarkio, Missouri, for the Northwest Fight Club's GOLD RUSH event. Dustin Hartwig improved his record to 2-1 when he defeated JaMarcus Brown of Leavenworth, KS via
tapout due to an arm bar at 2:30 of round one. Most of the action involved vicious knee strikes while standing in
the clinch, however when it went to the ground Hartwig's submission ability quickly ended the match. Nathan
Holde (Top Picture) improved to 4-1 with a win over Frank Trombino of Nebraska City, NE. Holden drove Trombino into
the cage and immediately secured a standing guillotine and then finished the choke on the ground via
tapout at 0:33 of round one. Jeremy Small (21-7) was featured in the main event of the evening versus Mike Jones
(15-5) of Columbia, MO, for the Northwest Fight Club's Middleweight Championship. After a few early leg kicks by Small the action pressed
against the cage wall when Small picked Jones up to should height and slammed him to the canvas. Small's submission skill proved too much for
Jones as Small wins via tapout due to an arm triangle at 1:00 of round one... and is now the Northwest Fight Club Middleweight
Champion (Bottom Picture). Team GETYASOME trains out of the Hands 2 War Gym located in Crete, NE.

Not even a week after Team Tim Gillett fighter Josh LaBerge's last
victory he now faced an even bigger challenge in Strikezones’ Chris Simmons
(6-1). Josh LaBerge, a foundation fighter of the American Stand Up
sponsorship team, agreed to fight Simmons, who boasted an impressive reccord
with his only loss being to Ken Stone, on short notice and only six days after a
unanimous decision victory over Frank Latina at USFL’s “Springfield
Massacre.” Each man came out strong at the start of round one. Simmons scored
a take down and initiated the ground fight. The rest of round one, and the
majority of round two and three, was a grappling match. LaBerge was able to
control the fight on the ground, defend against Simmons’ submission attempts
and maintain top position for the majority of the fight. His wrestling and
ground and pound were too much for Simmons and won LaBerge the decision.

American Stand Up created "Cage Feet" inspired by Frank Mir. 6 months prior to his fight with Antonio Rodrigo "Minotauro" Nogueira. Frank asked for a ankle brace that provided grip for the bottom of his feet to help with his striking. The resulting product was beyond all expectations and not only provided grip for striking, it provided an incredible advantage in his guard.
