| CAGELIFE PUTS ON ONE HELL OF A SHOW. Amateur MMA CageLife Presents FightWorld 15 at Route 66 Casino. One Hell of a night of MMA action. There was action right from the start as Alan Rhinehart from Los Lunas, NM took care of Albuquerque's Roberto Nater in the 1st round. Next up was Jacob Vega from Las Cruces, NM taking out Albuquerque's Mark Dickmeyer in the 1st round. The next fight pitted two Albuquerque fighters against each other Derek Jaramillo beat Dominic Altamirano in the 1st. Next David Perez took out Shane Nicols by Rear Naked Choke in the 1st round. Vadiano La Luz Taps Out Jesse Whitaker in (you guessed it) the 1st round. After a brief intermission, back to the ass whipping as Lorenzo Mora dominated Texas fighter Rick Guzman by KO in the 1st round. Finally a fight goes into the 2nd round as Nathan Torrez gets the win against Andrew Gallegos. |
Pro MMA The first Pro Fight of the night had Isaac Vallie Flagg of Santa Fe taking on Kansas City Fighter Rudy Bears. Very good fight as both fighters were landing hard shots. Rudy Bears came out on top by Rear Naked Choke. Next Pro fight had the Fightworld 135# Champion Lorenzo Coca against Hammer House Fighter Derek Collins. This fight took place at 140#'s, so Coca's Title wasn't on the line. Very fast paced fight until Collins got the tapout/choke out victory. The crowd rose to their feet for the next fight which had FightWorlds 145# Champion Gerald Lavato Taking on a very confident Gerald Sedillo. Sedillo's entrance was a first for me as he was escorted to the cage by one of his handlers carrying a fighting rooster. Great fight with both fighters getting the best of each other. Lovato cut Sedillo with a beautiful elbow. Sedillo recovers well and gets the submission victory over Lovato. After Sedillo receives the belt the crowd starts yelling and booing, so Sedillo heads out of the cage to taunt the crowd. After running up one of the isles, security finally gets him backstage. Next fight up has got to be the most technical fight of the night. Donald Sanchez took on a very game Cody Shipp from New Haven, In. These guys showed what MMA is about they gave us 3 rounds of action. In the end had Cody Shipp stopping Sanchez by Tapout. Cage Life's next fight had a fighter from the Nation's Capital Paul Mann taking on a very big task in Jacksons Submission Fighter and the FightWorld 165# Champion Brant Gibbs. Not only did Mann have to take on Gibbs, but his MMA All star corner (Joey Villasenor, Mike Van Arsdale, Tait Fletcher, Damacio Page, and Leonard Garcia). Gibbs dominated the fight and ended it in the first round. Next came the best entrance of the night as well as Fighter of the Night Ox Wheeler. Ox came out wearing a Traditional head dress. He was brought out by Traditional Dancers and Singers. After his performance he was all business as he made easy work of his opponent from Kansas City, KS Cody Bell. Ox got the tapout in the first round. Finally we get to the Main Event of the evening as Albuquerque's own Thomas Schulte took on Kansas City, MO Fighter Steve Schneider. Thomas looked like he was at home at the 155 pound class. This was his first fight at 155 in a long time. Looks like he will be a dominate force at 155 as he took out his opponent by Rear Naked Choke. What a Great night of fights. The guys from Cagelife Fight Wear were outstanding. They took care of us from the time we got to the arena to the end. Robert Monroe from FIT/NHB was Excellent. Thanks for all the info through out the week.
