Halquist
Productions presented the latest CageSport MMA event at
the Emerald Queen Casino to a capacity crowd Saturday,
October 3rd. This all-pro show featured in the main event Miesha
"Takedown" Tate out of Tacoma taking on Sarah Oriza
from Portland in a fight at 140 lbs. Tate said after the fight
that she has been working hard on her standup, most recently
for 3 weeks down in California at AKA and at Urijah Faber's Gym, and it
showed in this bout. She stood and threw in bunches
throughout the first round, landing punches, a couple of
high kicks, and generally punishing a game but ultimately outclassed Oriza.
In the 2nd, Tate continued where she left off coming out
with a flurry that effectively KO'd Oriza just 8 seconds
in.

The
fight of the night and the only one to go to decision
belonged to the 155lb contest between Lloyd
"Cupcake" Woodard out of Missoula, Montana's
Dogpound MMA and "Diamond" Ryan Healy
representing Gresham, Oregon's Team Quest. The pair split
the first two rounds which saw some great crowd pleasing
exchanges. The pace of the third round was much slower with
Woodard muscling Healy with takedowns and ground control
to win the round and the fight and remain undefeated as
pro at 6-0.
In
a bout at 155 lbs, Bryan "Kid Lightning" Caraway
of Victory Athletics defeated Eddie Pelczynski out of
Orem, Utah by slipping under a high leg kick, getting the
takedown, and grappling his way into a fight ending
triangle choke
hold of Pelczynski at 3:55 of Round 1.
In
another excellent fight, Caraway's teammate Sterling Ford
had to fend off numerous submission attempts from Dayne Aristizabal
before finally wearing him down midway through the second,
gaining mount, and raining down punches and elbows to
force the stoppage.
