ROF Rocky Mountain Championship 155 lbs
Christian Carvahlo (Brazil) vs. Alberto Crane (NM)

Crane took him down and worked gnp. Crane stood up in Carvahlo's guard and passed to side mount. He worked to full mount and Carvaholo turned and gave his back. Crane caught him in a rear naked choke and ended it via tapout.

Crane gets the win 3:56 into round 1 by tapout due to rear naked choke and became the new Rocky Mountain Champion.

Alberto Crane seem's like he's pretty good. I'll be keeping a closer look on him from now on.

Crane is seriously skilled on the ground. The guy's a BJJ champ. Maybe we'll see Pat Smith back in the cage in the near future if he keeps on winning. The guy's grown into a ****ing monster since I last saw him in the Octagon. I don't know if that's good or bad.
