Total Mayhem

'We're Back II' aims to stop violence -- with violence?

He is risen.

No, wait. He's down again. And this time, it looks like he's out for the count.

Ah, yes. Nothing quite says "Holy Week" like guys with angry facial expressions and the occasional neck tats, beating on each other like they were rented mules.

Last night, on what many Christians refer to as "Holy Saturday," the mixed-martial-arts fight promoter Total Mayhem presented "We're Back II." The event, at The Gym in West Haven, offered a dozen matches of hardly-any-holds-barred ultimate fighting.

MMA: Layton's Buck scores five-second KO

A one-punch knockout that shocked a packed crowd for its abrupt ending was the highlight of Saturday's end-of-the-year Total Mayhem mixed martial arts card at the Ogden Marriott.

Layton's Josh Buck, 151 pounds, upset Sunset's Sooksan Simpleman, winner of five straight, including a win over Buck. But the Layton pro nailed Simpleman with a straight right punch that dropped his opponent.

The referee stopped the fight at five seconds and declared Buck, 6-12, the winner. Simpleman, who had won five straight bouts, dropped to 8-5 and was visibly shaken minutes after the fight.
