Top Dog Fighting – Highlight Reel | 16 Fights, Real Contact, Real Skill (Oct 18, 2025)

This was one of those rare training days where everything came together — energy, skill, courage, and a whole lot of contact. On October 18, 2025, we ran a full slate of 16 fights at ACS Mixed Martial Arts in La Marque, Texas (13001 Delany Rd). Fighters of all levels — from veterans with years of Dog Brothers experience to brand-new students stepping in for the first time — tested their skills, heart, and control.

We had returning fighters mixing it up with fresh faces, and every round had something worth studying. Steve Melcher and his daughter Hanna, along with her husband Tim, stepped up in a big way. Steve took on four separate matches — including memorable exchanges with both Ashley and myself — and every one of them had moments of clean timing, creative adaptation, and that unmistakable Dog Brothers intensity.

This highlight reel captures just a glimpse of what happened that day: sharp footwork, beautiful knife transitions, and moments of pure, honest combat. Because there were so many fights, there were also more great highlights than could possibly fit in one video — so be sure to watch for the complete fight uploads next week. You’ll see the full context, the subtle adjustments, and the teaching moments that make this kind of sparring invaluable.
