Chris Horodecki vs. Nate Lamotte

Round 1 (Images)

The two start tentatively, circling one another and testing the distance with jabs. Lamotte lands a good right early on, but Horodecki seems unfazed. The first round continues as a striking contest, with Horodecki staying more active in the final two minutes. The round ends with a clinch against the ropes, the crowd jeering Horodecki for grabbing the ropes to avoid a takedown.

Round 2

Horodecki comes out fast with kicks and left hooks, but Lamotte catches a kick to the body and uses it to transition into a takedown. Lamotte lands some damaging blows from the guard, but Horodecki kicks him off and gets to his feet.

Horodecki lands a nice right hand and follows with some solid kicks to the body. Just before the bell he adds a takedown, finishing the round in Lamotte's guard.

Round 3

The two resume their striking war in the final frame, with Horodecki doing a good job of mixing in low kicks with punches to keep Lamotte off-balance. Lamotte is unable to do much damage on the feet, but with under a minute left he secures a takedown and lands in Horodecki's guard.

Lamotte opens up with a barrage of punches in the final seconds, landing squarely as Horodecki struggles to escape. This is a tough one to call as we head to a judges' decision.

Chris Horodecki defeats Nate Lamotte via unanimous decision.

horodecki needs to fight guys more challenging to make me believe the "hype"

[HillaryHatesYou]

Wow at the highlights IFL shows. You're obviously trying to protect this kid. Show the whole fight--Nate won hands down and even if you argue against that, where the hell are the penalties for this kid fleeing the ring and grappling the ropes (several times)? Sheesh.

Great job to both fighters for putting on a great show. Way to get back on track with your win Chris. Keep your head up Nate, you're a warrior, and have a ton of potential.

IFL's Golden child lost this fight hands down, it's too bad politics play a role in who's a better fighter...Lamonte beat him period..lets not even bring up the fact that he should have benn penalized for holding the ropes and desperatly trying to climb out of the ring when he was getting throttled by Nates ground and pound....Chris lucked out...Congrats Nate
