» Fighter: Brian Caraway

Undefeated Wilson Reis (5-0) earned a longer introduction Friday night in Santa Ynez, north of Los Angeles, with a UD over Brian Caraway (9-3): undefeated EliteXC Bantamweight Champion Wilson Reis.

Reis earned the title over three head-to-head rounds versus strong and crafty Cullum.

Reis took Cullum down repeatedly, but was unable to cinch a submission through Cullum’s defense.

Cullum landed several strikes; but, Reis’s takedowns and ground aggression convinced the judges.

Shane DelRosario (5-0) notched another stoppage in his belt in a second-round TKO of Carl Seumanutafa (4-1) at 1:07.
