Another show of prospects from Chumash. Ranallo and Quadros are announcing.
Mix of striking with some grappling and then Oshiro lands a huge elbow. Cariaso ends up on his back and doesn't recover. (2)
2) SHANE DEL ROSARIO vs. ANALU BRASH: Some heavyweight meatheads.
Del Rosario has a moment of trouble when he's hit with a right hand in the clinch early. That was about it. He drops Brash with a low kick, then drops punches on him until he is stopped in the first. Basically total domination. (1)
3) AARON ROSA vs. JAIME FLETCHER: Fletcher I know I remember and I have no idea why.
Fletcher is doing a good job defending the rushes of poor man's Bonnar in front of him. Good leg kicks as well, but he's also undersized. The best Rosa seems able to do in the first is push him into the cage. Bit boring, in fact. Fletcher continues this in the second round; he's taken away the lead leg with low kicks and is capable enough to jab and punch without leaving his jaw hanging. He's also evasive...well, he runs when Rosa throws stuff, really. But Rosa ain't landing or cutting off the cage.
Rosa is coming out with the jab, but remember what I said about punching without leaving your chin out? Fletcher throws a right hand over the top of it and drops Rosa hard. He doesn't do much with Rosa on his back, and following a standup for inactivity by Peoples, Rosa gets his first takedown of the entire fight. Why does Rosa go here though? He hates the ground, says Mauro. And we see shortly after why: He's gassed. After another standup, Fletcher with a combination to the head started with a left hook. Fletcher, the natural middleweight, definitely looks to be the winner of the fight. He is. (1)
4) MARLON MATHIAS vs. CONOR HEUN: Lightweight fight with Mathias being a Chute Boxe talent.
Mathias is way smaller, actually. He comes out hot though trying to overwhelm Heun at the very start and....doesn't succeed. Knowing Chute Boxe, he's probably already gassed now to boot. Much of the opening two minutes are set in the clinch against the cage with not a lot happening. Mathias is very wild when he jumps in with stuff like knife edge chops and shit. Maybe a strike with real force would be better? Heun gets a take down, passes the guard, and ends up getting the back. This is not the most impressive fight. Heun gets swept out of mount and Mathias doesn't really capitalize. Round ends.
Mathias is much less offensive in the second round and gets a sweep takedown early. Better choice than wild backhands. There's a standup after inaction, and Heun fails at a big judo throw and falls down. Mathias doesn't capitalize and gets taken down anyways. Heun is way more effective at passing and landing GnP. Heun does have one big negative and its a cut inside his mouth (or broken nose, on second hand) that gushes blood from the first round on. Hopefully that is not what is being scored all on its own. D'arce choke with almost no time left in the second, and there's no tap out.
Heun shoots and fails miserably, pulling to half guard. Mathias is landing stuff on top but nothing is really effective and he gets stood up. Heun and Mathias trade some blows and Mathias gets the better of it before Heun with another takedown attempt is successful. Mathias tries to escape out the back door and is ultimate successful in getting the fight stood up and getting separation. Heun gets another takedown and, again, doesn't really do a proper job on finishing this one, failing big time with a kimura. Heun ends up being forced to stand as Mathias stands up out of that and Heun just slings him down again. Heun wins all 3 rounds on the judges score cards. (2) Heun thinks his jaw is broken in the post fight interview.
5) MALAPEIT TEAM DIAMOND vs. THOMAS DENNY: Denny is a legend and Malapeit is a dude.
Denny gets this down immediately and is looking for a RNC real early. Malapeit is trying to escape and amazingly does. Denny is still in the mount though and stays there like, the entire round. Malapeit is getting straight fucked up with punches and elbows; Denny did not come to lay down. Malapeit escapes and then drops a bunch of elbows to the back of Denny's head. Oops. Denny can't continue and the fight is over. Malapeit loses not by KO or submission, but by DQ. (1)
FIGHT OF THE NIGHT: Rosa/Fletcher
KO OF THE NIGHT: Oshiro/Cariaso
OVERALL FOR THE EVENT: 4.5 out of 10. Ehhh. Skippable show all the way around. Del Rosario might be the most interesting name on the show.
D&R Rating: 28% (7/25)
