Revelation Fight Organization put on an exciting night of mixed martial arts at the Richland County Fairground's Fairhaven Hall Saturday night, even without the main event on the fight card.

Mansfield Mayhem 13 was supposed to be headlined by local amateur Josh Longood (4-0) and Sandusky's Cory Ruthsatz (7-4) in a featherweight title bout, but Ruthsatz weighed in seven pounds over the 145 lb limit and was not allowed to compete by the Ohio Athletic Commission. Longood said he was extremely dissappointed that Ruthsatz didn't fullfil his commitment and that his opponent disrespected him and everyone in attendance by showing up over weight.

With the fight scratched from the event, Longood's Fight Farm teammate John Gunther was moved into the headliner role against previously unbeated Ashland native Niles Hootman who trains with cross-town fight team All Out Assault. Gunther took full advantage of his opportunity, dominating the 170 lb fight for the first two rounds by taking down Hootman and working the ground and pound. When the referee called the fighters out for the third and final round, Hootman fell to his rear conceiding defeat, saying that he could no longer see out of his left eye.

The win by Gunther propelled him to 5-1 while Hootman suffered his first loss to fall to 4-1. Even though Gunther was dominate in the fight, he said he wasn't completely pleased with his performance but was happy to get a win in front of his friends and family. The "Machine Gun" as Gunther is nicknamed put on a good enough performance to catch the eye of fight promoters in attendance who approached him after the fight and Gunther says he wants to fight again as soon as possible after sustaining no injuries against Hootman.

A guy that really did fight A.S.A.P. Saturday night, was Army veteran Daniel Haubiel. Home on leave from Afghanistan for a few days, Haubiel contacted R.F.O. fight promoter Matt Truckovich for an opportunity to fight on the same card as younger brother Brian, who defeated Art Ludwick with strikes for a second round T.K.O. in his first ever MMA fight. Daniel would not share the same success as his brother, losing a unanimous decision to Erie, Pennsylvania's Desmond Carroll.

Haubiel said there's a big difference between being in shape and being in fighting shape, adding that he felt he would have won the fight had he had more than two weeks to train. Regardless of the result, Haubiel, who is also a veteran of the cage with a 4-7 amateur record, said it was great to fight in the same event as his brother's debut.

Mansfield's Brandon Odom would end up on the right side of a unanimous decision in his fight with Kyle Booth, but like Haubiel was probably not in the best condition to compete. Odom, who trains with All Out Assault, has been suffering from brochitis and had trouble giving an interview after his fight because of a chronic cough. But the local product said pulling out of the fight never even crossed his mind, especially with the event being held in his own back yard.

All other results from Saturday's event:

Noel Rodriguez lost to Levi Gwinup by a first round rear naked choke, Darnell Pettis K.O.'d Chris Reed in the third round of what was awarded "Fight of the night", Ronnie Shoemaker won via T.K.O. in the first round against Joey Rine, and Chris Trippi won with a first round rear naked choke on Ronald Mello.
