1) Jay Wadsworth vs. Eric Noel : Amateur lightweight bout. Wadsworth is much taller. Eric was a D2 wrestler.
FIGHT: Noel Submission Rnd 2. Good performance by Noel. RNC. (0)
Noel: Obviously a wrestler at heart, but solidly capable of defending submissions (getting out of an omaplata attempt by spinning the right way) and submitting men himself (taking Wadsworth's back and applying the choke). Nothing really learned about standup. His record of 7-5 as an amateur doesn't inspire.
Wadsworth: Sorta active off his back.
2) Huey Contreras vs. Reggie Parks: Welterweight amateur bout. Contreras is billed as 5-0.
FIGHT: Parks TKO 1. Nothing to really say about this fight. Contreras is supposedly the standup specialist, but the Jason Dent trained Parks lands a right hand as Contreras walks into punching range and its all over. (0)
3) Nick Sorg vs. Frank Carabello: Two middling pros for a lightweight title.
FIGHT: Carabello Submission Rnd 2. Okayish fight featuring lots of grappling that isn't all that exciting. Frank ends up landing some tough shots in the second round, and Sorg shoots to try and slow the fight down. Carabello locks him into an armbar after several submission attempts earlier failed, and he gets the tap. (0)
Carabello: Has a decently active guard and is willing to swing. This makes him like so many other guys though.
Sorg: Decent wrestling, nonfactor standing.
OVERALL FOR THE EVENT: 2 out of 10. Some carnage that keeps it from being a total basement dweller of a show, but largely background noise when I was watching.
