UCA 1 (14) (679x800)The Co Main event of the night featured the former reigning and defending UCA Middleweight Champion DJ Vargas, Hanford Police Dept. vs #1 ranked Quincy Mirage, LAPD. Vargas was on a mission to be the first fighter to capture two titles in two different weight classes. Mirage was on a mission of his own, to defeat Vargas and leave no doubt in the judge’s eyes who the best Super Middleweight is. Vargas and Mirage have history, they met last year for the UCA Middleweight Title and Mirage would be on the losing end of a split decision. If controversy produces rematches Vargas vs Mirage is a lock. Thus we are left with a repeat-or-revenge scenario. Mirage came into the fight with confidence riding the momentum of a 2 fight win streak. When the bell sounded Mirage went to work. He used a relentless attack to get inside, where he did the majority of his damage with powerful hooks and uppercuts. LAPD Coach Jorge Gonzales devised the perfect game plan and Mirage never deviated from it. He used intelligent aggression to find holes in Vargas defense to land clean shots and Vargas did not have an answer. In the end it was the power shots along with the higher connect percentage and Mirage’s enormous fighting heart that carried him to victory. Before the decision was announced there was no doubt in the judge’s eyes who the winner was. And the new……UCA Super Middleweight Champion…Quincy Mirage, Los Angeles Police Dept. The former UCA Champion DJ Vargas was humble and graceful in defeat. After the fight Vargas said, “Quincy was the better man tonight, he fought a great fight.” For Mirage it’s affirmation that his hard work has paid off and he truly is a champion.
