Traditional Win And Palomino

O'Neil Surprises Davis, Palomino Spoils Berto's Return at W-1 MMA

CORAL GABLES, Fla. -- Heavily-favored Marcus Davis found himself up against a true challenge for the first time since his UFC departure, as former “Ultimate Fighter” Season 13 alum Chuck O’Neil shocked his fellow Octagon veteran with a split decision victory in the main event of Warrior-1 MMA 7 “Reloaded” Saturday night at the BankUnited Center.

The two New England natives exchanged opening rounds, in a hotly contested bout that took place all over the cage. O'Neil was able to use his reach to keep his distance on the smaller Bangor native despite him being the more classically-trained boxer.

In the third period, O'Neil took top position and blasted “The Irish Hand Grenade” with a nasty elbow, cutting the notoriously paper-skinned veteran. O’Neil maintained his dominant position even after referee Jorge Alonso stopped the bout so doctors may check the cut as blood began to spew.

The damage done proved to be enough as Davis could get in no more offense before the bell. Judges Mark Streisand and Jean Warring scored the bout 29-28 for the Bridgewater, Mass., native, while Hector Gomez saw it 29-28 for Davis. Sherdog.com saw the bout 29-28 O’Neil.

The victory represents a signature win for O’Neil, now 9-4 in his campaign. It was the first action for O’Neil since he dropped a unanimous decision to fellow cast member Chris Cope at the TUF 13 Finale in June. Davis falls to 20-9 with the loss.

After an 18-month lay-off, James Edson Berto returned to against adopted Miami hometown favorite, Luis Palomino in a lightweight contest. From the opening frame, it was apparent that Berto’s time off was of considerable hindrance, as he looked to have slowed from prior performances, and was easily outstruck by the native Peruvian.

The MMA Masters product controlled the bout from bell-to-bell, effectively shutting out the returning Berto.
