At Guerrilla Jiu-Jitsu Head Quarters in California This event featured the return of UFC veteran and pioneer Pat Smith! The event was held in the Mellon Arena "Home of the Pittsburgh Penguins" and was packed full of fans and celebrity guests such as UFC star Tito Ortiz, Rich Clementi, Brock Larsen and more. Team Odyssey Mixed Martial Arts fighters Paul Bourque (Pictured Left), Instructor John Simons III (Pictured Center) and Dan Churchill (Pictured Right) dominated the competition at the Barbarian Fight Club MMA fights held at the Virginia Sports Complex on May 30, 2009. Odyssey's first fighter of the night was Dan Churchill making his MMA debut. Dan submitted his opponent with a Rear Naked Choke in clean fashion in round 1. The second Odyssey fighter of the night was Paul Bourque who submitted his opponent in round one via Arm Bar, however the opponent said "He didn't Tap Out" so the fight continued into round two.
