1) Caleb Archer vs. Jean DeJesus: Caleb is from ATT.
FIGHT: Archer TKO Rnd 1. DeJesus is a basic wrestler who doesn't look to pass or strike. Archer doesn't have the most active guard on earth and is looking to purely stand. Lots of hanging on when on the mat. Lots of loading up on shots too. DeJesus was signaling that he was done 15 seconds before the fight was over. Archer is still undefeated now a year later but hasn't fought anyone really good (his last win was against chronic loser James Wynn). (0)
2) Rick Hunley vs. Eric Koveric: Ridiculous intros for this fight. 145lb fighters, no winning records. Koveric's nickname is WARFACE. What? Really?
FIGHT: Hunley Submission Rnd 1. Koveric knows how to pass guard sorta and is athletic enough to scramble to the mount at one point in this short fight. Then Hunley regains guard by being flexible and then gets a triangle. Koveric can't slam out and has to tap. (0)
3) Giovanni Moljo vs. James Wynn: Oh god. Wynn has an atrocious record, but isn't a bad fighter. He's clearly just there to collect paychecks as a "test". And he makes sure he's never that tough of one.
FIGHT: Moljo Submission Rnd 1. Wynn scrambles a lot and eventually this goes to the mat and his head gets caught in a triangle. End of the road there. (0)
4) Oscar Reyes vs. Joshua Bacallao: Who are these guys? Don't know.
FIGHT: Bacallao Submission Rnd 2. (0)
Reyes: Reyes has a gameplan - takedown, control, win. There is no B. Bacallao prevents the takedowns because he's a great athlete. In doing so, Reyes is doomed.
Bacallao: He has good enough takedown defense to stop the shots and bodylock, and on the mat he's capable of getting out of the guard and taking offensive positions. He's better standing too - he lands a big punch during a scramble early, and a huge head kick in the second. Reyes' best defense is to put a hand down and be a "downed opponent". RNC setup comes outside of having hooks in - kinda like that one time Militech did it in the UFC from the side.
5) Matt McCook vs. Alex Caceres: White trash dreds still on McCook.
FIGHT: McCook Submission Rnd 2. I'll be honest, I didn't pay much attention to this. McCook had some takedowns, when they were standing it was about equal, but on the mat McCook ran shit. He pulls a really cool armbar to win out of mount in the second.
6) Eric Luke vs. Ralph Acosta: Before this bout, we learn that The Dollhouse Gentleman's Club is supplying the night's ring girls, and entry is free with your ticket stub tonight. Chances this promotion is owned by an organized crime organization? 60%. 139lb catchweight.
FIGHT: Luke Submission Rnd 3. Called a "great standing and grappling fight". Why? Because there's lots of dudes hugging on the cage in round 1. (0)
Luke: Luke is capable of striking a little and he's got a little submission game. His opponent didn't come to fight though.
Acosta: Acosta is looking to just hold and run out the clock on top of pushing his opponent into the cage. His standup seems to be nonexistent compared to Luke and he's not active on the mat. Acosta starts going into guard pull mode in Round 3, and this fight falls into parody. When he does get the fight down, he just lays there. Well, then he's hit with an elbow in the head and starts to bleed and gives up his head IMMEDIATELY to be submitted. It takes a minute to set up the triangle though.
Not enough time remaining in the broadcast to show Ricco/Rinaldi. One relevant fight, and I don't see it. Fuck this.
FIGHT OF THE NIGHT: I don't care. They all sucked.
OVERALL FOR THE EVENT: 1 out of 10. Terrible. Long interview segments wasted time that could have been Ricco/Rinaldi. This isn't even available for download. What the fuck is this? None of the fights are worth watching. Several nonperformances with no notable prospects.
