Stockton, CA - Devastation Co. managed and Brudda's BJJ and Ajarn Andy K trained, Joe "Da Super Villain" Vea won his pro debut at Purecombat MMA in Stockton, CA over a very game Arby Magtibay of Bakersfield, CA.
In the early going, Magtibay used his height and reach advantage to get the better of an early exchange forcing a clinch situation against the fence. As Vea attempted a takedown, Magtibay locked in a gullotine choke but couldn't finish the fight. Eventually Vea used a step over trip to get the fight to the ground where he established side control. He used some effective short elbows to help tranisition to the mount where Magtibay was able to muscle his way free.

Magtibay tapped just as the bell rang so we were on to round 2. Vea shot in and quickly took Magtibay's back and drug him to the ground.
