Gladiator Challenge: Best of the Best Results

Brian Cobb earned himself a shot at the vacant Gladiator Challenge lightweight title on Sunday by submitting two opponents in one night in Porterville, California.

The 4-man Gladiator Challenge “Best of the Best” tournament included Cobb, John Reedy, Brandon Jinnies and Shawn Bias.

Cobb submitted Reedy in the finals with a rear naked choke, the same move he used to finish Reedy in September 2005.

Reedy returned from a knee surgery that kept him out of action since his first encounter with Cobb.
