First, it was “Young Gun.” Then, it was “The Boss.” And now, its Adam “Adam” Lynn. It’s safe to say at this point that the elbow is having a better year than Justin Bieber, and it ain’t easy to top the Biebs. If you weren’t already convinced, the latest testament to the power of the elbow was demonstrated at Maximum Fighting Championships 31 this past weekend, at the same event that saw the birth of the half-point system and the triumph of our boy Ryan Jimmo.
Despite being the slight underdog heading in, IFL and WEC vet Adam Lynn made quick work of Jonathan Goulet’s hairstylist, Curtis Demarce, shrugging off the younger man’s combinations before unleashing a vicious short elbow to turn off his lights. The best part is that you can see Lynn setting up the strike and throwing a tester out there just moments before he finds his range. And he makes sure that his first strike is a good one, clearly trying to earn a spot in our first punch hall of fame. But it’s first PUNCH Adam. Learn to read the fine print.
