		Valdez is an accomplished boxer and the champion looked to clinch early, drivimg Valdez into the cage and keeping him there as he maneuvered for position most of the 1st round.In the 2nd round Monroe immediately tied Valdez up again and after an exchange of dirty boxing was able to score a trip takedown, where he transitioned easily from side control to mount.Working patiently Monroe finally scored a big shot that stunned Valdez and as he prepared to unload, the referee jumped, giving Monroe the successful defense, though many thought the stoappge was quick

		Wrap up
		This card shatters our previous record for high gate (also in California) and despite our home base being Arizona, I think we need to hold at least three cards in Cali each year.Monroe was impressive in his first defense and fought smartly, avoiding a striking battle with the clever challenger.It was thought that Deschanel would test Bogdonovich on the ground, but he didn't even try a takedown and J-Bog dropped him twice, so he will still be untested against high level wrestling heading into a likely title shot against Dreck. Sly Twinge's mouth has made him popular as Franklyn calls him out after his demolition of Fitz.On a good financial note, we only lose $10,404 on the card, Edward Zahn leaves
