Morgan Oriahi, Leroy Vasquez win  title fights; Heffernan and Vera put up FOTN

 

HUMBLE, TX – With 15 fights in all including 2 title fights, Cage Combat 21 was a night to remember for a lot of people. Jake Heffernan and Steven Vera will always remember it for their bout that earned FOTN honors in many peoples’ eyes. Leroy Vasquez will remember his third title win in a row at the ripe young age of 42 years old. And Morgan Oriahi will remember the stiff test from Craig Grove en route to his own title win.

There’s lessons to be learned and confidence to be gained following this event as well. While the aforementioned fighters did great, they’ll come away with some lessons to improve their game just like all the other combatants. Losing fighters like Grove can yet step away with their head up high knowing they can compete at a high level so long as they keep improving. Vera, Nicholas Gay, Dequette Reed and the rest of the amateur MMA’ers on this card can say the same thing – win or lose. That’s what it’s all about at this level anyways.

Check out the complete Cage Combat 21 results below and continue on to some of the favorite highlight photos from the event.
