Emerald City MMA, headed by promoters Will Davis & Eric Evenson, held the inaugural "Battle in Seattle" May 19th to a near-capacity crowd at the Showbox SODO just South of downtown Seattle. 11 amateur bouts in total took place, including the 2 co-main events that both had a pair of 155lbrs battle it out for a chance to fight for the Emerald City MMA Lightweight title at their next event. UFC fighter, Jeff "Hellbound" Hougland, was on hand and thanked the crowd for their support.
In the first co-main event, MVP MMA's Jordan Watts did a nice job of controlling and nearly finishing Vision Quest's Brandon Cruz numerous times in their fight and in the end earned the unanimous decision win.
 
\ 
In the second co-main event, Codie Kidder out of Battleground MMA got a TKO finish of Shaun Crump at 2:01 of the third round and so it will be Watts & Kidder meeting for the 155lb strap down the line.
 
 
 
Fight of the night went to the crowd-pleasing throwdown between Chris Stone & Chris Ungerecht in a 125 lb battle that went the distance, with Stone getting the judges nod.
