Third-degree black belt and former MMA fighter Tom DeBlass had the challenge of his life when he took on white belt Kain.
DeBlass was called out by Kain only about an hour before the time of this writing:
“This match is about to go down,” Tom wrote on his Facebook page. “Kain called me out to a championship Gi match in front of a huge crowd at @battlemountain2k How can I say no!?!? Stay tuned for the video.”

Stay tuned, we did. And what went down wasn’t pretty — for Professor DeBlass, at least.
The video says it all:
Well today was the first time in my life I was tapped by an armbar in competition. Huge congratulations to Kain on his amazing victory and championship belt.

Tom is world class. I was there and can tell you that young man was excited. Thanks Tom for being you and leading from the front.
