On the third takedown, Kjar caught Spangler in a cradle and quickly pinned him just 1:41 into the match to give UVU the victory. Kjar, who is UVU's all-time wins leader with 120 career wins, accomplished a huge individual milestone with the win, as he managed to go his entire four-year collegiate career without losing a home match.

"Just like in previous matches, our guys come out and really tried to wrestle their best tonight," UVU head coach Greg Williams said. "SDSU is really tough at a couple weights and those were the ones that we had freshman competing at (141 & 197). But I was really pleased with how we competed. I liked the intensity of most of our guys and I felt like we increased the pace in several of the matches. Now it is time for us to go and work on our flaws for conference." The dual began at 165-pounds and UVU's Jeb Clark got the Wolverines off and rolling as he defeated SDSU's Seth Moe by technical fall, 17-2, early in the second period.

"I was proud of the guys, I thought they wrestled hard," said UVU coach Greg Williams. "We can take a lot of positives out of this match. Ben and Flint's matches are going to always be huge for us. They're both exciting to watch and get the crowd going no matter who they're wrestling." The Cowboys, who feature five starters ranked in the top-20 in their individual weight class, raced out to a 6-0 lead with decisions at 157 and 165 lbs. At 174, Brad Darrington's takedown in the final 10 seconds of the match gave him a 5-4 decision over Patrick Martinez.

Cache Valley Clash (MMA/UFC) 2.58 min. | 5.0 user rating Olympic gold medalist Rulon Gardner and my good friend Travis Chambers put on the first ever MMA fight night to come to Cache Valley, Utah and they did a great job! Sponsors included: Rulon's Elite Training Center, Gold's Gym, Cornwell Tools, Rockstar Energy Drinks, Torquedmag.com, Restless clothing co., Nevasleep Entertainment, and Top of Utah (channel 39). Every fighter performed very well and gave the crowd at Castle Manor (which was filled to capacity) a great show! Good job to those guys and good luck with their future in fighting! I filmed this whole video on the Canon 60D with the 18-135mm lens and edited on iMovie- I'm looking to upgrade lenses, get final cut pro, a microphone, and a glidecam for smoother shots.. Once I get better quality equipment I feel like I'll produce better quality videos (obviously) but I'm happy with how this turned out!
