Round 1 was a battle with a lot of strikes landed by both fighters. Mendez took down Thompson who almost caught Mendez with a triangle choke from the guard but Mendez escaped.

In Round 2, Thompson came out with a vengeance landing several knee strikes and finally caught Mendez with a standing front choke. Kudos to Travis.

OC Kickboxing & Mixed Martial Arts instructor Mario Navarro of Huntington Beach, CA submitted his opponent 40 seconds into the first round of the Main Event at Conquest in the Cage 5 in Montebello, CA on Friday, Nov. 20 2009.

Right out of the gates, Mario threw a Jab-Cross-Right Head Kick combination, catching his opponent with the kick. After getting kicked, his opponent immediately shot and took Mario down. Mario pulled guard and tried for an omoplata submission but the guy escaped and threw a barrage of punches from the top. Mario tried for a triangle with a leg underhook which prevented the guy from slamming him, but the opponent put his other arm in to defend the triangle. Mario switched to an arm bar on that arm forcing the guy to tap at about 40 seconds into the first round!
