1) David Silva vs. Zach Barrios: Silva is undefeated and Barrios is a little soft.
FIGHT: Silva Submission Rnd 1. Total domination by Silva who gets the ref to stop the fight momentarily for a cut on Barrios' face, then finishes the job as Barrios tries to sweep out of half guard and ends up giving his back instead. RNC finish, Barrios claims he didn't tap, but who cares? Silva looked good but never fights again, instead choosing to run a school in Florida. (0)
2) Corey Swanson vs. Joe Robinson: Robinson is all sorts of shredded.
FIGHT: Robinson Submission Rnd 1. Another piece of domination. Swanson gets taken down a couple times, the second time he looks to scramble he gives up his back and gets choked out in about a minute. (0)
3) Dieulhomme Chera vs. Den Lyn: Featherweights. This is probably going to get a 0. Just a guess.
FIGHT: Lyn TKO Rnd 1. Completely wild - both guys went for flying knees at the same time from the clinch at one point. And this fight was under a minute. Ends as Chera goes for a leglock, Lyn breaks out, Chera tries to stand and he lands a wild looping right hook from way behind his body onto Chera's face. Never made it to his feet. (0)
4) Shawn Vaughn vs. Miguel Gonzalez: SUPER FAT HEAVYWEIGHTS.
FIGHT: Gonzalez TKO Rnd 1. Vaughn's cup starts falling down like 10 seconds in. They swing some. Vaughn looks like Bam Margera's dad. He gets dropped with uppercuts in the clinch. Embarassing shit. (0)
At this point, its Voodoo Child, there's fireworks, and yes, a Hulk Hogan appearance and interview. Like I care what he has to say. And then there's an interview with Yosmany Cabezas who won on an EXC show the week before.
5) James Austin vs. James Wynn: Both from the same camp and town. Huh.
FIGHT: Austin Submission Rnd 1. Want to see a thrown fight? Well, this is a candidate. Little striking in this bout, none effective, as a 4-0 fighter fights a 4-12 teammate. Lots of grappling as neither wants to hurt the either too badly. Lots of sub attempts though as they roll around - Wynn runs a fun sequence where he tries to lock in a triangle and Austin rolls around a little as he escapes. Austin gets full mount with little time left in the fight, throws nothing, goes for an armbar, transitions to a triangle and wins the fight. Up there with Charles/Belfort. (0)
Bunch more interviews, including one with Marcus Jones.
6) Ricky Bennett vs. Gilbert Burgos: 145lb bout.
FIGHT: Burgos Submission Rnd 1. I dunno if there's anything to say about Bennett. He got taken down early and worked on until he was choked out. Burgos is a pretty basic submission grappler best I can tell with some decent skills. Bennett took a year off and then lost. (0)
7) Gareth Joseph vs. Danny Babcock: Middleweights. Will this exit round 1? Magic 8 Ball says "Unlikely".
FIGHT: Joseph TKO Rnd 1. Monster KO as both men just trade for most of the fight. Joseph lands way more shots though, which shows Babcock's strategy to be particularly terrible. He's since gone onto lose in an unaired Strikeforce bout. Babcock lost to Trigg in that show that was run on a Daytona 500 weekend and then beat Ariel Gandulla recently. (0)
8) Tony Souza vs. Carl Malenko (or whatever): Somehow I am guessing that this dude is not meant to beat Malenko.
FIGHT: Malenko TKO Rnd 2. Souza was live for about 2 minutes, then gassed out. The ref probably could have stopped this in round one as Malenko traps the arm in a crucifix and started pounding on Souza. He takes down, mounts, and smashes out Souza in the second. (1)
FIGHT OF THE NIGHT: Souza/Malenko
KO OF THE NIGHT: Babcock/Joseph
SUBMISSION OF THE NIGHT: Silva/Barrios
OVERALL FOR THE EVENT: 1.5 out of 10: This isn't a 1 because you can see Carl Malenko fight a fat guy and there's an example of a likely thrown fight to view.
D&R Rating: 2.5% (1/40)
