Ardany Mora battles with Jordan Harrington en route to victory in the main event

Since their inaugural CAGEQEUST show in March of 2012, E&R Promotions has gained the well-deserved reputation for showcasing top amateur talent from around the Pacific Northwest in evenly matched fights. For Cagequest V on October 11th 2014, promoter Eddie "One Speed" Blackburn and matchmaker Jeff "Dr Klench" Hoiby outdid themselves, putting together a stacked card of 15 bouts, that included 4 title fights and a superfight. MMA superstar Quinton "Rampage" Jackson was on hand as a special guest, and he along with the packed house at Clover Park Technical College in Lakewood WA got to witness a fantastic night of action.

In the main event, Cagequest 155 lb Champion Ardany "Batman" Mora successfully defended his title against former Cagequest Lightweight and Featherweight Champion Jordan Harrington. The fight was a barn-burner from start to finish with Harrington putting the champ in numerous bad positions throughout. Mora on his part stayed calm and midway through the 5th round executed a lightning fast armbar submission that forced Harrington to tap. Great end to a super night of fights! Afterwards, Jordan Harrington announced that he would be turning pro, and Mora surely can't be too far behind in joining the pros ranks as well.

The Co-main event was for the Cagequest Light Heavyweight Title and it was late replacement Tyree Fortune of Gracie Barra Portland who took home the belt by submitting NW Elite's Grady "Slam" Duncan with an arm triangle at 2:21 of the first round. Fortune moves to 10-1 as an amateur, while Duncan suffers his first loss against 6 wins.
