1) Julian Nava vs. Danny Joe Sykora: 135 lb amateur bout.
FIGHT: Sykora TKO Rnd 1. Sykora controlled this from the beginning, stuffing a shot from Nava and getting on top in dominant position. Nava was able to reverse position briefly, but it didn't matter much. Sykora stood up a minute and a half in and Nava couldn't. Fight was over. Sykora is now 3-0 as a pro, but still far from contention at the moment. (0)
2) Allen Hernandez vs. TJ O'Brien: 160lb catchweight thing.
FIGHT: Hernandez Submission Rnd 1. Another total domination fight - Hernandez gets down O'Brien, bombs on him for awhile in full guard and mount, O'Brien eventually stands up and takes a right hand that drops him and leads to a rear naked choke. TJ O'Brien is now the notable fighter with a record of 13-3, and losses to all the best competitors he's fought. (0)
3) Eric Poling vs. Josh Gutcher: Heavyweights. Gutcher has a shirt and Poling is from Militech.
FIGHT: Poling TKO Rnd 1. Not competitive. Poling lands a ton of strikes and Gutcher falls down. Polins has a 9-3 record today, with zero notable names on his resume. (0)
4) Micah Washington vs. Rod Montoya: Montoya is a longtime journeyman in the midwest. Washington is some guy no one has ever heard of.
FIGHT: Washington Submission Rnd 3. (0)
Washington: Fought pretty darn composed and showed a solid ability to change his position for the better. He landed a solid left hand in the opening of round 3 that helped turn the tide. His submissions aren't bad, but his wrestling is lousy. No fights since 2008.
Montoya: Always game, his wrestling is his base. He was rolled repeatedly from top control and suffers an arm injury that ends the fight and forces him to quit.
5) Joe Vedepo vs. Chris Powers: Vedepo got a shot with the UFC, lost twice, and was back to shows like this.
FIGHT: Vedepo Submission Rnd 1. Not competitive. Vedepo shrugs off a shot and then proceeds to demolish his opponent, eventually winning by kimura in side control. KOTC special type stuff. (1)
6) Alex Rozman vs. Rashad Brooks: Heavyweight fight. Rozman is muscular and over 270. Brooks is some physically soft black dude in Thai shorts.
FIGHT: Brooks TKO 1. Incredible hilarity - Rozman rushes Brooks and expends all his energy with terrible punches for about 1:15 seconds nonstop. Fully square, all arm punches, not even exhaling during his "combinations". Brooks survives and then hurts Rozman with a punch, forcing him to clinch. Rozman gives it up for a last gasp of punches, then gets KOed so hard by Brooks, who proceeds to throw the ref to the side and punch his fallen opponent. Rozman proceeds to go 1-11 in his pro career, beating only his hapless teammate Justin Grizzard and losing to guys like Brendan Schaub & Mark Burch. Brooks is 3-7 with a submission loss to Aaron Stark. (0)
7) Clay French vs. Bobby Mosley: Mosley is billed as 11-1. The official MMA database? 1-0. French is, you know.
FIGHT: French Sub Rnd 1. Jesus, another terrible fight. French gets an armbar after going for a kimura in side control that Mosley tries to escape. Stupid matchmaking. (1)
8) Joe Pearson vs. John Strawn: Journeymen COLLIDE. This also sold like 3,000 tickets. Isn't that fucking crazy?
FIGHT: Pearson Submission Rnd 1. The highlight of a career - Pearson throws a flying triangle in the clinch at the start of the second and lands it. Amazing. (1)
KO OF THE NIGHT: Rozman/Brooks
SUBMISSION OF THE NIGHT: Pearson/Strawn
FIGHT OF THE NIGHT: Washington/Montoya
OVERALL FOR THE EVENT: 2 out of 10. Basically worthless apart from the flying armbar.
D&R Rating: 5% (2/40)
