Filipino bet Roy Docyogen retained his pinweight title after forcing Saipan’s Jordan Ogo into submission with a rear naked choke in the main event of the Colt 45-Universal Reality Combat Championships (URCC) XVII over the weekend at the A. Venue Events Hall in Makati.

Sarenas, a 29-year-old Brazilian jiu-jitsu specialist, forced Jabbari into submission with an armbar at 5:50 in the first round.

Honorio Banario ruled the lightweight division, while other winners in the 10-bout event include Norel Norada (pinweight), Regie Amarante (pinweight), Eric Kelly (feather), Carl Sabeniano (feather), Jessie Rafols (bantam), Reysaldo Transmonte (bantam) and Ukraine’s Igor Subora (heavy).
