1) JUSTIN WEISWEIG vs. EDWARD HERNANDEZ: Heavyweights.
BOMBZ followed by Weisweig grabbing a guillotine and pulling guard. Tap out. (0)
2) AARON YORK vs. AUNEY CASTANEDA: York I've seen before and he won in a couple seconds via guillotine.
Castaneda is a way larger guy and he pushes York back into the cage. There's some knees in here and something bothered Castaneda, who decides to look at Buddy Clinton. As he does so, he forgets the cardinal rule (Protect yourself at all times!) and gets clocked with a right uppercut. York with another win inside a minute. York's last fight on record. (0)
3) ARON LOFTON vs. BENJI NORRIS: Heavyweights again.
Lofton with a body kick, right hand, Norris turns around and falls, turns, and is in a guillotine. (0)
4) DAVE GARDNER vs. FILBERTO CLEMENTE: Clemente was last seen at Kiowa getting his head caved in with elbows and punches.
Sloppy fight with Clemente seeming to tire but outlasting Gardner in an epic 2:24 duel that ended with Gardner taking punches to the head whilst against the cage following a couple of knees. (0)
5) JOSH HERNANDEZ vs. THOMAS BLOUNT: Hernandez is wearing a shirt.
Blount with the old takedown/mount/GnP finish inside a minute. (0)
6) JOSEPH CAMPOS vs. JAY DON WELLS: This is a middleweight bout between a couple nobodies.
Round 1 has a really cool judo throw early on by Campos and he nearly stops Wells afterwards with punches, but he proves to be a survivor. Campos delivers a ton of violence to Wells at the end of the round, mounting him and throwing a ton of punches and elbows. The announcers are as confused as I was when the round ends, assuming with the lack of a bell sounding that it is a proper first round stoppage. Instead, I'm treated to another round with more of the same as Campos just beats on Wells from mount for seemingly forever. The armbar was right there to take but I'm pretty confident in saying that almost no one on the show knew how to do one. Eventually, Buddy Clinton stops the fight before too much permanent damage can be done. (0)
7) MIGUEL GUERRA vs. JOSH BARNES: Heavyweights. Barnes trains with Matt Jaggers.
Guerra tries to stick and move with punches but he has a problem: He is not very good. Barnes catches him and gives him a urange. Then he beats him up. Then he does a head and arm choke and passes to side control for extra leverage. Guerra was hopeless. (0)
8) MIKE BUDNIK vs. JOHNNY FLORES: Lightweights. Budnik is from Team Triton. Flores is supposedly making his debut, which is odd, because I just watched him on the KOTC Eliminator show from 3 months prior.
If one was to ask me why I watched these events, this fight is why. Its a 2 round bout (3 minute rounds) with nonstop action from bell to bell both standing and on the mat. Budnik wins but it barely matters because neither man is an elite fighter or even close to it. For a crap show, this was a quality fight. (2)
9) BLAKE NORSWORTHY vs. ROBERT MCDANIEL: McDaniel is hyped up on the box and Norsworthy isn't. I have my guesses.
McDaniel with the takedown into side control. He rips some knees to the body, moves to half guard, then just throttles Norsworthy for what must have been a minute straight with shots to the head until the ref stops it, well after he should have. (0)
10) JASON MAXWELL vs. CHRISTIAN SANCHEZ: Maxwell KOed Pulver when that still meant something.
Maxwell with the takedown immediately, side control, americana, tap. Fight over. (0) because Maxwell is well below fringe contender status in 2009.
