IRON MOUNTAIN -- A Dickinson County fighter is continuing to make a name for himself in mixed martial arts.
Tim Hallock, 24, won his 170 semi-final Combat USA fight Saturday in Green Bay. Fighting at 170 pounds, Hallock used a guillotine choke hold and won by submission over his opponent in only 76 seconds.

The win puts Hallock in the Combat USA Wisconsin state finals.
MMA is becoming one of the fastest growing sports in the country, and Hallock says he can't see himself doing anything else.
"Not everybody can go out there and do a job that they love 100 percent with their being," said Hallock. "I love it. Every single day I wake up, train, think about fighting, fight, and I love the sport and I love what I'm doing."
Hallock hopes a win will help put his name on the national MMA map.
The Wisconsin State Championship fight is April 22 at the Oneida Casino in Green Bay.
