Jordan
Bailey and his magnificent mullet made the most of his
short-notice Cage Warriors Fighting Championship main event
in San Diego.

The CW
139 headlining bout on Friday that saw Bailey taking on
Bellator MMA alum Alex
Trinidad concluded in a mere 42 seconds. Trinidad (5-4, 0-2 CW)
showcased a well-executed uchi mata throw straight away, but Bailey
(7-5, 1-1 CW) jumped back to his feet within seconds. “The Ice
Cream Man” pushed his adversary against the fence before shooting
for a single-leg takedown. In doing so, he exposed his neck to
Bailey’s guillotine choke attempt, which became tighter and tighter
as the two fighters went down to the canvas. When Bailey’s squeeze
became too much to handle, Trinidad couldn’t help but tap, only to
pass out as referee Mike Beltran sprinted towards them to
intervene.

The co-headliner featured a 160-pound catchweight affair between
James
Lynch and Cesar
Gonzalez. Gamebred Training Center standout Lynch (5-2, 3-1 CW)
rushed to attack his foe right out of the gate, only to land a
nasty low blow due to his recklessness. After Gonzalez (4-5, 1-1
CW) recovered from the shot, Lynch focused his energy on more
precise punches that stunned his opponent on a couple of occasions.
When “Cubby” shot for a takedown, Lynch blocked the attempt and
retaliated with knees to the body and upstairs. One of the shots
opened a cut near the left eye of Gonzales, forcing referee
Jonathan Romero to summon the cageside physician to check on the
fighter. The doctor evaluated that it was too risky for Gonzales to
continue, and the action was stopped at the 1:34 mark in Round
1.

Elsewhere, featherweight Elijah
Leggett (4-0, 1-0 CW) outpointed Brandon
Laroco (6-3, 1-1 CW) on all three scorecards (30-27, 30-27,
29-28); in a 207-pound catchweight match, Elijah
Harris (4-1, 1-1 CW) forced Armando
Murillo (4-4, 1 NC; 0-1 CW) to tap due to an arm-triangle choke
from mount at 2:36 of Round 1; Reyes
Cortez Jr. (6-2, 1-0 CW) outclassed James
Settle (3-2, 0-1 CW) en route to a unanimous decision victory
(30-26, 30-26, 30-25) at bantamweight; up-and-coming prospect
Chasen
Blair (2-0, 2-0 CW) demolished Kona
Oliveira (1-3, 0-1 CW) with a walk-off, one-punch knockout at
39 seconds into the second period of their welterweight tilt.

On the preliminary card, 145-pounder Roberto
Hernandez (4-1, 2-0 CW) smashed Michael
O’Leary (2-2, 0-1 CW) with punches 2:37 into the first frame;
Tyler
Escoto (1-1, 1-1 CW) eked out a narrow split decision over
Hakaraia
Wilson (0-1, 0-1 CW) at welterweight with scores of 30-27 and
29-28 in his favor along with a 28-29 tally for Wilson; flyweight
David
Lopez (2-1, 1-0 CW) wrecked John Andrus
(3-1, 0-1 CW) with a series of knees and punches at 3:49 of Round
1; after missing weight by 1.1 pounds ahead of the fight, William
Wilson (1-0, 1-0 CW) crushed Albert Lee
(1-2, 0-2 CW) with punches in their 158-pound catchweight card
opener in the second round at the three-minute mark.
