Kyle Bryant getting the victory.

       Kyle Bryant (of Team Alpha Male) earned his first amateur title by beating Kristofor Garcia (of Team Ultimate Street Fighters) by split decision at Titan's Cage 4 after a grueling three round affair. The first round was clearly Bryant's, even with the Garcia take down, due to the submission attempts that had even Bryant believing he could finish the fight. Garcia showed true resilience and utter heart to power through the deep triangle choke that Bryant later switched to an arm bar before rounds end.
"He's a strong opponent so I'm cautious about his strengths," Garcia told J. Waugh (www.srmma.com). "But I feel confident in my own too. I want to go out there and perform. I'm trying to get that belt."

       The second round is where Garcia made his strongest effort to get the belt by stuffing Bryant's take downs and standing guillotine attempts. Garcia landed several right hands that were powerful, clearly felt by Bryant during the round. Behind a rigid left hook followed by a jab combination Bryant was able to use his movement in the third to land what the judges most likely believed to be the better shots, winning the lightweight title.
"It's a lot of hard work that finally pays off," Bryant told J. Waugh (www.srmma.com). "(Training with Team Alpha Male) It only feels fitting that I need to be a champion. I'm here to win. I want belts."

       Also on the card was the continued undefeated streak of Cameron Quigel, now 3-0 after a destructive third round knock out of the previously unbeaten Favian Guitierrez (now 1-1 CAMO). The first two rounds of the bout were dictated by Quigel's take downs, but the finish was completely striking. A huge right hand dropped Guitierrez before the referee stepped in and stopped the coming assault, granting Quigel the victory.
"It's great, hopefully my name will be out there," Quigel told J. Waugh (www.srmma.com). "Glad to fight for Titan's Cage, can't wait to do it again."

Apparently each gym cross trains with each other according to Alpha Male and Ivan Posas camp. Would love to match up those two but the higher ups wont allow it.

no they do not cross train. only high level pros go to Grace to sparr with the diaz bros. this is from an active alpha male member. Posas vs Bryant is a great match up
