Chase "Crash" Degehardt, fought Chuck "White Chocolate" Pelc
in Edmonton on Saturday, May 30. It was a place Chase always
wanted to fight in as Edmonton was were he was born and raised.
"I know Chase was very excited about this" said trainer Brad
Wall.
Chase came out looking to work my jab and feel Pelc out for the
first minute. Early on, he ws able to connect with a stiff jab
that seemed to panic Pelc. Pelc began going for takedowns with
desperation, but he wasn't setting them up. It became clear that
Chase would dominate the stand up as he continued to land
punches and knees.
Chase got him in the clinch and landed a knee to Chuck's head.
He immediately shot in again, and after Chase defendedit once
again. Degenhardt soon after flopped Pelc on his back and Pelc
pulled Chase into half guard. The next thirty seconds there
were times Degenhardt tried unsuccessfully to ground and pound
Pelc, while Pelc tried to pull Degenhardt into full guard.
They stood up again, and Degehardt landed a few more
hard punching and kicking combinations before getting him in the
clinch again and landing two hard knees to the head. Chuck
dropped, and Chase was able to land a few more punches on the
ground until the ref was forced to stop it.
It was a good performance and a definite confidence booster for
Degenhardt who is 2w,0l in 2009 as a professional. Not sure what
is next for Chase, he is tenatively scheduled to fight this
summer in Montana, September back in Edmonton on The Fight
Club and then again in October in Lethbridge.

star Danny "La Rocca" Rodriquez. Danny will be facing the tough
and talented Sean Enright of Arashi-do, Red Deer. Danny has been
