Live from IFL event -- Blackburn vs. Heleno

By Joe Fernandez
Newsday.com

Delson Heleno spent most of the first round either trying to pass or past Brad Blackburn's guard. Heleno was dropping down some punches from side control, while Renzo Gracie shouted instructions in Portuguese. I'll tell ya, if a Brazilian jiu-jitsu champion is on top of you, reigning down punches while his coach is telling him what to do in a language other than your own -- that has to be scary.

To the third...

Blackburn, out of nowhere, threw an overhand right as he was getting up and clocked Heleno in the head as the ref stops the fight. It was mid-scramble as Heleno was getting up. So Blackburn turns the fight around and gets the third round TKO.
