A pair of titles were on the line Friday at RFA 12, and when things had wrapped, two fighters were making a push to get the call from the UFC. In the RFA 12 main event, Brian Ortega (8-0) took a split decision from Keoni Koch (5-1) to claim the promotion’s vacant featherweight title. The co-main event, though, was a little more clear cut as bantamweight champion Pedro Munhoz (10-0) lived up to his heavy favorite status with a 41-second submission win over Billy Daniels (7-1). Ortega stayed unbeaten with a pair of 49-46 scores, while Koch, the older brother of the UFC’s Erik Koch, suffered his first loss. He got one 49-46 score of his own in a fight that featured momentum swings and several solid submission attempts on each side

Brian Ortega (8-0) and Keoni Koch (5-1) gave the fans everything they wanted and more in the RFA 12 main event, fighting hard for 25 minutes to determine which man would go home with the vacant Resurrection Fighting Alliance featherweight title. The headlining bout, which took place at Los Angeles’ Shrine Auditorium and aired on AXS TV, saw Ortega outpoint Koch by split decision over five rounds in a close and highly competitive affair. It was a grappling and submission-heavy contest, with both men having their high points and coming close to the finish. In the end it was Ortega who was a step ahead for most of the fight and got the better of the exchanges. On multiple occasions Ortega nearly finished the fight, but Koch refused to give up and competed valiantly until the final bell. The pre-Ortega crowd stood strong behind the local fighter, and in the end left satisfied, as “T-City” emerged victorious.

Keoni Koch knows what it takes to be a top-level fighter. He’s watched his younger brother, Erik, blossom from a guy learning jiu-jitsu in his basement to a UFC standout. Koch, however, admits he struggles with the commitment needed to make a run at greatness. He is married with children and values his time as a husband and father. Look at his resume, and you can see three-year gaps between fights since he made his pro debut in 2007. During those times, he rejected the life of a fighter
