Rage In The Cage 79 Results
West Wins Lightweight Title
February 24, 2006 Desert Diamond Casino Tucson, Arizona
Special guests Joe Stevenson, Joe Riggs, Gilbert Aldana and Robert Beraun mingled with the appreciative crowd throughout the entire evening.
The Main Event was between two BJJ specialists but neither ever made any attempt to go to the ground. It was a standup "war" with punches, knees and kicks throughout the entire fight. West used his superior reach advantage to bloody Ortega. When Ortega was able to close the distance he landed solid shots on West. In the end, West prevailed by unanimous decision to win the RITC Lightweight Title. This impressive win earned Ed West Fighter of the Night ( FOTN ) honors.
Other candidates for FOTN were
Dominik Cruz, Joe Cronin, Rosco McClellan and Joe
Martinez.
