Video: UFC vet Joe Riggs lands a vicious first round KO to a downed Josh Cavan at Made for War 1

October 15, 2012

Former UFC welterweight Joe Riggs (38-14-1) picked up his third win on the year in the main event of Made for War in Castle Rock, Colorado. Riggs was paired with local Denver fighter Josh Caven (5-3) in a stand up fight that lasted a little over four minutes. After a failed choke attempt from Caven, Riggs unloaded a vintage ground n' pound attack onto his fallen foe.

The KO would come moments later after a pair of unblocked punches landed cleanly for Riggs. Now training out of the MMA Lab in Arizona, Riggs has won four connective fights for the first time since 2009.
