Promoter JT Taylor and his local sponsors delivered another action packed fight card at the Midtown Rock Rink & Roll in downtown Bend, Oregon. The Oregon State Police Boxing and Wrestling Commission once again sanctioned the Desert Brawl 13’s only professional fight in the main event.
Several fighters and fight teams made their debuts tonight, one (Tom Smith) returned to the cage after a stint in the US Marines and the two fighters in the main event were coming out of semi-retirement to entertain the capacity crowd. The beer was flowing and the event was broadcast live over the Internet on Desert Brawl TV.
Starrs Cabaret provided the evening’s ring girls: Taylor, Kayla, Phoenix and adult film star Dasha (who was performing later that night at the club). The girls strutted their ‘stuff’, much to the adoration of male and female fans alike, in several outfits…including a butt-less business skirt suit and a sheer nightie leaving nothing but color to the imagination.

Main Event (professional middleweight bout)
‘El Chupacopra’ Rich Guerin (American Top Team West) defeated Justin ‘The Hawk’ Hawes (DDMA) by disqualification at 3:20 Rd2. Hawes delivered an illegal knee to Guerin’s head while they were on the ground that opened a cut above Guerin’s right eye. The ringside physician determined Guerin to be unable to continue and Hawes was disqualified as Oregon State MMA rules prohibit knees or kicks to the head of a grounded fighter.
