After establishing a strong presence in Virginia, MMA Institute fighters traveled down to North Carolina to compete at the Circle of Fury fights in Winston Salem on October 24, 2008. Two of the three professional fights on the pro/am card had a contestant from MMA Institute. Kyle Baker (MMA Institute) was matched up against Roger Carroll, who was previously undefeated as a pro. Although Carroll threw many headkicks, none of them made it through Kyle’s defense. However, strikes did begin to land in the clinch range, as Kyle dominated with elbows and body shots. In return, Carroll made several attempts to take the fight to the ground, but in his usual style, Kyle managed to get it back to standing. Eventually, however, Kyle took the fight to the ground, put Roger on his back, and slid his knee on Roger’s belly to secure mount. From here, Kyle forced Roger to tap out from strikes at 4:49 of the first round.
