Binky Jones is the Ring of Combat lightweight champion

Baltimore's own Binky Jones (Ground Control Baltimore) is the Ring of Combat lightweight champion. Jones (now 3-1 in MMA competition) secured the title by defeating Team Quest's Ian Loveland (7-6 MMA record) Friday night at the Tropicana Casino and Resort in Atlantic City. According to the Ring of Combat Web site, Jones forced Loveland to tap out due to armbar at 3:17 of the first round.

Jones defeated Charles Wilson and Jay Estrada -- both by unanimous decision -- in the first two rounds of the tournament to advance to the title match.

I will be speaking to Jones in the next day or so about his impressive victory and about the next step in his MMA career.
