1) Alan Love vs. Richie Bagby: Middleweight contest. Amateur bout.
FIGHT: Love Submission Rnd 1. Love with a takedown, and then a guillotine. Bagby, who is muscular, does nothing. (0)
2) Ali McClean vs. Anthony Thompson: Amateur Lightweight contest.
FIGHT: McClean Submission Rnd 1. Thompson looks composed early on and gets a takedown, but is unable to do anything in guard and we get a standup. McClean goes wild with strikes and then grabs a guillotine and pulls guard. Thompson taps. (0)
3) Arno Rotgans vs. Daren Petrikonis (?): Another lightweight bout, but this time, a pro boutwith a man who is perhaps a Polish Plumber stereotypes. But from Lithuania. Rotgans is from Mike's Gym in Holland.
FIGHT: Rotgans Submission Rnd 1. Rotgans with a nasty armbar after a takedown and beating in the mount. He starts looking to take the arm and Petrikonis turns to his belly. Rotgans still has it and basically flips Petrikonis over with it. Yikes. Rotgans is undefeated at 7-0 but inactive going on 3 years. (0)
4) Peter Duncan vs. Cyrille Crochet: Lightweights. Duncan is sometimes fun to watch.
FIGHT: Duncan Submission Rnd 2. Yet another guillotine. Duncan repeatedly took down Crochet, had dominant positions (banana split!) and eventually grabbed him and guillotined him. (0)
5) Alexandre Abin vs. Daniel Abrol: Lightweights.
FIGHT: Abin Submission Rnd 1. Really wild striking at the start of the fight, and Abin ends up grabbing a rear naked choke standing. Abrol tries to jump and slam him down to release, but the plan fales. Abin ultimately sinches it in and forces a tap.
6) Jontas Novaes vs. Mamarizaev Jahongir: Jahongir is much bigger than his opponent.
FIGHT: Novaes Submission Rnd 1. Novaes decides not to try and stand and trade, and takes down Jahongir, then gets the armbar. It ain't a choke as Sherdog has it. Straight armbar out of mount. Novaes has had a nondescript career since. (0)
7) Lee McKibbin vs. Aureles Kerpe: Middleweights.
FIGHT: Kerpe TKO Rnd 3. McKibbin was killing this early on in the first round, and Kerpe came back with a vengence. (0)
McKibbin: Decent jitz, and almost had a W by submission early on. But he couldn't close the deal, and also couldn't block a punch. That was his undoing.
Kerpe: Seems to have some sense of submission defense and can stop menially skilled takedown attempts. Tough. Landed a lot of punches without totally gassing out, earning him the W.
8) John Smith vs. Graham Turner: Lightweights.
FIGHT: Turner TKO Rnd 1. A throwback - Smith is a former kickboxer with no ground skills, and gets taken down and demolished by Turner, who does. Turner is the only story here, and there's not a great story to be told. Can't even tell if he can throw a punch standing. (0)
9) Mo Gormley vs. Andy Hillhouse: Huge heavyweights. Gormley is with a shirt and resembles Chance Williams. Hillhouse has a shaved head and a tattoo on the back of his head.
FIGHT: Hillhouse KO Rnd 1. Some slobberknockering ends with Gormley being taken out with a right hand to the head. Hillhouse's only career win. (0)
10) Heman Gipson vs. Michal Kita: Kita's name is misspelled, but I know who it is. He's an M-1 vet. This is a heavyweight fight with the potential of some skill being exhibited.
FIGHT: Kita Submission Rnd 1. This was a extra special thing, because he won with a Sakuraba kimura with Gipson having his back. Sorta. I mean he twisted him all over the mat while trying to lock it in and eventually fucked the dude's shoulder up. Also had a sweet judo throw. Gipson rolled around a little to defend and failed. The end of that. (1)
11) Daniel Tabera vs. Ken Sparks: This is a 90 minute TV show, and there's 30 minutes left...and we've seen 10 fights! Jesus. Light heavyweights.
FIGHT: Tabera Submission Rnd 1. Another total domination; Tabera lands some looping shots while coming forward, ends up pushing Sparks to the cage, it goes to the mat, Tabera smashes him and eventually takes his back and chokes him out. I learned nothing other than I'm not sold on Tabera to strike with anyone. Presently 16-2-3, he lost in Bellator last year but drew with Mamed Khalidov, beat Mikhail Zayats, and is an M-1 vet. (1)
At this point, the show then starts to display fights from Scotland the Brave that were already reviewed. So I guess that's it.
FIGHT OF THE NIGHT: Kerpe/McKibbin
KO OF THE NIGHT: Gormley/Hillhouse
SUBMISSION OF THE NIGHT: Rotgans/Petrikonis
OVERALL FOR THE EVENT: 3 out of 10. Another lousy CWC show with a mildly entertaining beatdown over several rounds, and a bunch of one sided tomato can beatings. I'm glad I've come near the end of these programs. With CWC 9 not making TV here yet (Colin Robinson vs. DAN SEVERN, Danny Van Bergen, and Jimmy Mills!), I have to shoot ahead to CWC 11 which features an appearance by JEFF SNOWMAN MONSON. That I can get excited about.
