MIXED MARTIAL ARTS-LIVE EXTREME CAGE FIGHTS
MIKE DOLCE CAPTURES FIRST EVER UFA PROFESSIONAL WELTERWEIGHT TITLE AT KICK DOWN 80
On the evening of Saturday July 10, 2010 in Denver,Colorado Season 8 veteran of "The Ultimate Fighter" reality series Mike Dolce made his comeback statement with a solid performance and a fight ending title winning knee to the face of challenger Michael Riggs to win the UFA title at 4:59 of round 1. In a solid match up both fighters went back and forth to open the round and then it was Dolce who would work some good side control. Toward the end of round one Riggs got the fight to standing and it was there that Dolce unloaded the knee as the bell sounded to end the round. Flat on his back Riggs could not get up to answer the bell to begin round 2 and Dolce was crowned the champion which sets up perhaps the most anticipated bout in Kick Down (Casper) history where Dolce will face undefeated Welterweight Kick Down champion Travis Peak at Kick Down 82 Peak vs Dolce on August 29, 2010.
