Mixed martial arts made it's debut at Milwaukee's Potawatomi Casino on Wednesday as the North American Fighting Championship's "Bad Blood" card drew close to 1,000 passionate MMA fans to the Potawatomi Casino's Expo Center.

Bad Blood was headlined by a three round battle between WEC and Bellator veteran Jameel Massouh and Duke Roufus trained Chico Camus. Massouh earned a hard fought unanimous decision over the smaller Camus in an exciting match which was clearly the best fight of the night.

Camus was a very game challenge for the more experienced Massouh, landing several hard punches from all angles at the outset of the fight. Massouh was able to weather the storm and wound up controlling the first round on the mat, eentually taking Camus' back and almost finishing Camus off with a rear naked choke at the end of round number one.

The second and third rounds of the fight played out similarly to the first. The main difference laid in the fact that Massouh was able to take control of the later rounds quicker than he did in the first. Camus seemed to tire as the fight wore on, which led to a more confident and relaxed Massouh becoming more aggressive in his pursuit to take Camus to the ground.

With the impressive victory, the Dave Strasser trained Massouh improved his record to 25-7. Massouh, who is the Featherweight Champion of the Swedish promotion 'Superior Challenge' is on a three fight wining streak.

Camus (7-2), who has been hoping for a UFC invite since defeating WEC veterans John Hosman and Joe Pearson in back to back fights earlier this year, will look to regroup and tighten up his game before his next fight.

In the co-Main Event of the evening, “Smile’N” Sam Alvey, who is engaged to America's Next Top Model Season 11 winner McKey Sullivan, won a very tight split decision against veteran Jason Guida.

The first round was highlighted by two powerful slams by Guida, including one where Guida carried Alvey across the cage and slammed Alvey at a full sprint into the padded ring post.

Alvey managed to use his jab to control the distance as the fight wore on, eventually doing just enough to convince two of the three judges at cageside to generously award him a split decision victory.
