1) Ryan Madigan vs. Brendan Seguin: Woah, this is an oddly interesting fight. Madigan is a UFC vet, Seguin from KOTC. Madigan gets a rapper. The ring announcer has this almost offensively bad suit. They're obviously hight on hyping Madigan for some reason.
FIGHT: Seguin TKO Rnd 1
Seguin: Looks and gets a takedown. He looks good at 170 physically. He's had so many middleweight fights, I lost track. They're not doing a whole lot, Seguin then throws one elbow on the orbital and smashes it. Madigan immediately taps.
Madigan: Went for an armbar early, otherwise was just trying to mitigate.
2) Forrest Petz vs. Tiawan Howard: Petz is said to be the best fighter from the region to never fight for the promotion. Uhhh, for real? Howard won the 2006 Amateur title for NAAFS, went to fight in EXC, won a fight, and then disappeared.
FIGHT: Petz TKO Rnd 3. My recording of this was so bad from weather that its basically unwatchable for the most part in rounds 1 and 2. Howard is actually able to wrestle down Petz at times, but Petz usually gets the best of him on the mat, sweeping or turning him over. Standing, Petz is also the bigger man, presenting Howard with more issues - outside of the clinch, he's not terribly effective at landing anything. In close and in the clinch, he's equally subject to the weight of Petz and knees. That wears him out, and when Petz is on top in the 3rd and dropping shots, it gets ugly fast. He just takes shots for 3 minutes straight, his eye is closed totally, and the fight is over.
OVERALL FOR THE EVENT: 4.5 out of 10. They're OK fights on paper, I guess, but one sided.
