MMA
New Money Fight Club 4: San Jose’s Raul Ortiz, a Scotts Valley High alum, retained his New Money Fight Club featherweight title belt by earning a unanimous decision over Sacramento’s Amarius Taylor in the co-main event of NMFC 4 at Osorio Training Center in Hayward on Saturday.
The taller Taylor (1-5-0-0) dropped 25 pounds took fight on one week’s notice. He nearly connected on a vicious roundhouse kick, but the mobile Ortiz evaded the strike and earned the first of his four takedowns.
Taylor, taken down twice in the second period and once in the third, was forced to fight from his back for the majority of the fight.
