Kingfisher’s Gabe Rednose is pictured having his arm raised after he fought his way into a gold medal bout at the International Mixed Martial Arts Federation (IMMAF) Pan-American Championships. Rednose needed just 1:29 Thursday to earn a technical knockout over Trinidad and Tobago’s Ronnie Chadband in their light heavyweight semifinal in Monterrey, Mexico. That put Rednose into the finals where he was to face off against Mexico’s Aaron Rios. In his semifinal bout, Rednose used his grappling to score a takedown about a minute into the fight. Rednose worked from side control to a full mount and began to rain down punches when Chadband’s corner quickly threw in the towel. His championship fight took place Friday afternoon (after press time of this edition). See Wednesday’s edition for results. [Photo provided]
