Easton wins title at historic UWC show

Ultimate Warrior Challenge “Man-o-War” was a huge step forward for the Nation’s Capital market with something for almost everyone. “Almost” everyone because main event fighter Chase Beebe not only pulled out of the main event title fight against Mike Easton but blew off the show, not even contacting the promoters to inform them instead he is fighting in the upcoming Dream tournament. As it turns out Beebe’s absence was barely noticed as he was replaced by worthy stand-in Justin Robbins while the rest of the card was packed with two TUF vets, and IFL vet, two Team Greg Jackson fighters, three HIT Squad (Matt Hughes) fighters, an interesting women’s fight, and several local up-and-comers. The card was so packed many in attendance couldn’t agree on what fights were the most interesting. The one thing that could be agreed upon was Beebe missed out in a big way.

UWC 5 - Man "O" War - Easton, Patterson Capture UWC Gold

Mike Easton stands alone inside the Ultimate Warrior Challenge.

One of the top prospects on the East Coast, Easton submitted EliteXC veteran Justin Robbins in the UWC “Man ‘O’ War” main event and captured the promotion’s vacant bantamweight championship on Saturday at the Patriot Center in Fairfax, Va.

Composed and focused, Easton (6-1) stalked Robbins for the better part of two rounds and battered the H.I.T. Squad bantamweight with leg kicks before grounding him in the third. From there, he softened up Robbins with ground-and-pound and waited for an opening, ultimately finishing his adversary with a nasty guillotine choke 4:44 into round three.
