Echeverria (8-1) returned to the win column after securing an
anaconda choke at 2:56 of Round 2 against Pololu

Cage Fury Fighting Championship 125 headliner.
Coming off a Round 3 loss in an appearance on
Dana White’s Contender Series in 2022, Echeverria came in
primed for his catchweight CFFC bout in New Town, North Dakota, and
managed to secure the slick submission against the
Legacy Fighting Alliance alum in his promotional debut.
In the co-main event, another catchweight bout, J.P. St.
Louis (10-5) fought his way to a majority decision against
Nicholas
Meck (5-1).
In a women’s bantamweight matchup, Elizabeth
Schroder (4-3) was awarded a unanimous decision win against
Alexa
Conners (7-5), while welterweight Kevin Pease
submitted Caleb
Jensen via arm-triangle choke less than a minute into Round 2
of their contest.
Additionally, Trent
Miller scored an empathic head kick knockout against Chato Wiest
within the first minute of the opening frame.
Opening the main card was another women’s bantamweight matchup
between Emily
Martins and Micaela
Rampage, which ended with Martins securing a rear-naked choke
at 1:54 in Round 1.
On the preliminary card, Frank
Rayford earned a Round 1 technical knockout victory against
David
Johannes; featherweight Jack
Carpenter earned a Round 3 victory via arm-triangle choke
against Isaiah Splitzer and Taylor
Michels managed to submit Jordan
Mosley via rear-naked choke in the second frame.
