Cage fights were a big hit

I received results of the Rogue Warrior Cage Fights in my e-mail today. The show was a success, according to promoter Mike Brown, and another has been scheduled for April 17.

In his e-mail, Brown said local fighters won four of the 10 fights.

“I brought in the best in the Northwest,” wrote Brown, “and the locals competed. The Rogue Valley has great talent.”

Brandon Kochron of Redding Submissions and Peter Wolf of Medford Valor Elite engaged in what was ruled the fight of the night. Kochron won by decision. The upset of the night was Jesse Sumner of Ashland MMA defeating previously unbeaten John Wilson of Medford Vidonic by a second-round tap out in the 155-pound title match.

The main event between Eli Peterson of Portland and Nate Miller of Medford Valor Elite was ruled no contest when a fighter was injured by an accidental illegal strike, according to Brown. More details weren’t submitted.

Here are the results:

David Kohart, Medford, second-round KO over Josh Flint, Pendleton.
