Cameron Enriquez, 19, a Brentwood resident and former Heritage High wrestler, won a three-round decision after nearly tapping out his opponent in the second round of a March 21 fight at the Pankration Event in San Francisco. It was his second fight; in his first, he won by a second-round tapout.

It was also an opportunity for Enriquez to show how he would react under pressure, and he rose to the challenge like a seasoned pro. He’ll be fighting in May at the Konocti Harbor casino in his first pro fight gladiator challenge.

Charles (CJ) Leveuqe, 23, a Brentwood resident, former Liberty High wrestler and football player, also won his fight in the main event out of 27 fights that day.

Leveuqe’s opponent was about 6 inches taller and outweighed him by 15 pounds. Despite that, Leveuqe took him to the ground and controlled him for the whole first round with superior grappling skills.

In the second round, Leveuqe got the takedown by pinning his opponent on the cage and throwing ruthless body shots, which forced his foe to tap out. Also fighting on May’s gladiator challenge card will be Steve Alexander of Antioch, who will also be trying out for Spike TV’s “The Ultimate Fighter” show in April.
