A sold-out crowd 1750 strong turned out for the 4th Rumble On The Ridge outside the Snoqualmie Casino on August 15th. Against the beautiful backdrop of the Cascade Mountains, Punch Drunk Promotions, headed by Joe DeRobbio, & the Snoqualmie Casino served up an outdoor show with 9 amateur & 3 pro bouts taking place.

 

Former UFC Light Heavyweight Champion, Quinton "Rampage" Jackson, was on hand, helping to raise money for the Salute A Soldier Foundation as well as interacting with fans all day by signing autographs and taking photos.

 

A number of other MMA notables were also present including WEC Lightweight Champion Jamie Varner, UFC Fighter "Bad" Brad Blackburn, UFC Fighter Dennis Hallman (who just signed a 4 fight deal with the promotion), Former UFC Fighter Ivan Salaverry, WEC/UFC/Strikeforce vet Tiki Ghosn, Strikeforce vet Eddy Ellis, and The Ultimate Fighter Season 10 cast member Demico Rogers.

Members of Seattle's pro lingerie football team, The Seattle Mist, had a booth setup promoting their first game which takes place September 11th at the Showare Center. Some soulful music during the intermissions was put on by the Po'okela Street Band, plus there were plenty of vendors for the fans to check out including Hooligan Inc, Vicious Fightgear, Jacknut Clothing, GameCrazy, DTC Clothing, and more.

 

The 12 Mixed Martial Arts fights provided plenty of excitement for the crowd including the main event which saw a solid performance put in by a resurgent Devin Cole (ex IFL Portland Wolfpack member) who used superior wrestling and excellent cardio to outpace and outpoint Heavyweight opponent Mike Hayes over 3 rounds.

IFL veteran, Bristol Marunde, took just over two minutes to submit Justin Davis via Rear Naked Choke. The night's other pro fight went the distance as Arizona Combat Sport's Jade Porter outfought the White Buffalo Warrior's Chanti Johnson over three rounds for a decision win.

 

Two amateur title fights took place and both were marred by rather unfortunate endings. In the Lightweight Title bout, Lupe Hudgens repeatedly attempted armbar submissions on the rubbery Jeff Hatton only to see Hatton slip out and pound Hudgens for the trouble. In the 2nd round Hudgens caught Hatton once again and after a minute or so, Referee Ryan Hoisington stepped in and stopped the fight in order to save Hatton's arm. Hatton immediately protested and demonstrated he was uninjured by doing pushups but it was to no avail. This was a great fight and hopefully we can see these two rematch again.

 

In the Middleweight Title fight, Bill Sullivan landed a solid knee to the head of Dex Montenegro which is a no-no for the amateurs. Unfortunately, Montenegro was knocked for a loop and Referee Hoisington had no choice but to DQ Sullivan giving the belt to Montenegro

 

Promoter Joe DeRobbio and the Snoqualmie Casino have Rumble On The Ridge V "October Smash" scheduled for Saturday, October 10th. This is sure to be another sell-out so get your tickets now.... Visit eastsidemma.com or snocasino.com for more.
