Chaos in the Cage

The Antelope Valley Fair hosted an MMA (Mixed Martial Arts) event know as Chaos in the Cage this past Saturday afternoon. Starting the night off was an hour and a half delay. It's unknown as to why, there were several rumors such as, security checking, mat was too hot, and so forth. Hanging out in the 90+ degree sun wasn't the most thrilling thing, but well worth it, in the long run.

Results:
Giovanni Sarran def. Cody Goodale  by UD
Sean Choice def. Mike Fraizer by Sub rd 2. 2:46
David Mancha def Stu Young by Sub RNC rd 2. 2:05
Jose Aldrete def Miles Howard TKO 2:42 rd 1
Marcos Gonzalez def Tony Daulton UD
Tyler Moug def Joshua Aveles UD
Daniel McWilliams def Josh Green TKO 2:25 rd 1

Throughout the afternoon/evening I heard opinions of various fans in the arena area. Mostly mixed opinions is what I could gather. Many complaints saying it was weak, cheesy, sucked compared to UFC / major events, all the fighters weren't worth the price of admission and so forth. Yes, I did hear some very pleasent compliments such as, great event, tightly secured, friendly, awesome fights, greatful to have MMA in the Antelope Valley, etc..

Of all the fan opinions, this particular fan thinks the event was AWESOME!! Come on people what do you want for $15- $65.00 ticket prices? Those MMA fighters gave their best and entertained us for a couple hours. The atmosphere, weather were incredible and friendly. Some of the fighters came out into the crowd and shook hands with fans. Plus, thanked us, the fans for attending the event. That is admirable and a huge plus for fans such as myself.

Jason "Mayham" Miller attending the event as a guest was also a huge plus and a treat for us fanatics such as myself. Thank you Mayham for coming out and signing autographs. We are very grateful!! Good luck to you in your future fights. I for one am anticipating a rematch with Jake Shields.

In closing, I'd like to thank Chaos in the Cage and ask they please continue coming to our home, the Antelope Valley. I am a huge loyal fan!! Thank you for a wonderful show!!!
