David holds the UCA#1 spot at 154 lbs. He would like a rematch with Jorge “The Baby Faced Assassin” Caamal from LASD. They fought for the gold medal in the 2006 Police Olympics in San Diego. Their fight was a back and forth battle that could have gone either way. Jorge Caamal walked away with the win by split decision. Styles make fights and their style makes for a great fight. If they ever meet again, it will be a fight you won’t want to miss.
