Halquist Productions presented CageSport MMA 5 at the Emerald Queen Casino on July 25th to a full house of fight fans. In the Main Event, Mike Hayes of the White Buffalo Warriors weathered a first round onslaught by Team Quest's Daniel Krug, escaping out of a tight Rear Naked Choke and staving off an armbar attempt at the end of the round. Krug unfortunately injured himself in the process and was unable to continue giving the victory to Hayes. After the fight, DJ Linderman entered into the cage and both Linderman and Hayes expressed an interest in fighting in a rematch (Linderman took home a Unanimous Decision win in May of this year in their first meeting). Promoter Brian Halquist obliged by announcing that Linderman and Hayes would fight for the CageSport Heavyweight Title at an upcoming CageSport event.

The Co-main Event was between Team Quest's Nathan Coy and JT Taylor who is head of the Desert Dogs camp in Bend, OR. When the bell rang, both came out for the kill and for the next 3 and half minutes plenty of action ensued until Coy connected square, dropping Taylor and finishing him on the ground. The slam of the night went to DJ Linderman (roughly 240 pounds) who executed a beauty by lifting up the 280 pound Roland Graham over his head and calmly depositing him to the canvas with a resounding boom to delight of the crowd. Linderman worked Graham on the ground for a few moments before Graham had enough and submitted. 6 other exciting bouts also took place this evening on the undercard.

Halquist Productions hold their next event at the Emerald Queen Casino on August 29th with their long running Pro Boxing series, Battle at the Boat. CageSport MMA continues this Fall with the next show at the TRAC Arena in Pasco, Washington on September 26th, and back at the Emerald Queen on October 3rd.
