Coming off one of the bigger upsets of last year when he defeated the then-undefeated Julian Erosa for the CageSport 145-pound title, Drew “Eternal Fire” Brokenshire followed that up with an equally impressive win over veteran Enoch Wilson this past February in his first title defense. “I was really happy with that fight because I know how long Enoch’s been around and how skilled he is,” said Brokenshire. “The fight went four rounds and he ended up pulling out with an injury, but I was pretty happy with my performance and happy to get a win over such a seasoned veteran.” While he’s happy with his performance, Brokenshire admits his inability to stop the takedown made things closer than they should have been, and thus he’s worked hard to get that part of his game in order. “The biggest thing was Enoch was able to take me down quite a bit,” said Brokenshire. “He wasn’t able to do much damage to me, but he was able to control some of the fight. “We’ve been working real hard on it and I feel like we are making some headway. I feel like it is my weakest point and my losses have been to wrestlers who have been able to take me down, so if I can fix that, it will definitely make my life a lot easier.” Brokenshire told MMAWeekly.com that his recent work would come into play in a big way when he returns to CageSport on Saturday against Shorty Wiekel at the Emerald Queen Casino in Tacoma, Wash. “It comes down to takedown defense,” said Brokenshire
