MMA Journalist's ace photog Jake Blanton attended the Valley Fight League's "Cage Combat at the Capitol" in Washington, DC this weekend, and according to Blanton the event kicked ass. "The fans could never look away," says Blanton, who puts attendance for the 15-bout show at around 800 (an almost sell-out crowd). "There were dominating victories (congratulations Jaren Williams, Matt Dean, Adrian Belcarris, and Chris Stanton) and come-from-behind shockers (great heart displayed by Danial Merritt, Josh Haskins, and Nicole Hess). The decisions were both unanimous and split, the submissions were varied (four armbars, two guillotines and a rear naked choke), belts were won and lost, and there was never down time between fights." Blanton credits Robert Conner's unanimous decision win over Brad Wright as "fight of the night". Some pics:
