1) Jason Bauman vs. Mark Carrow: Amateurs, 155lbs.
FIGHT: Bauman TKO Rnd. Carrow looks for a takedown early and gets nowhere. The announcers both say that if Bauman walks forward, he's getting laid out, and sure enough it happens maybe 10 seconds later. His chin was way too high up. (0)
2) Kevin Ayers vs. Patrick Gorman Jr.: Forrest Petz is reffing. 185lb ammys.
FIGHT: Ayers TKO Rnd 1. Gorman looked like he gassed out 30 seconds in after going wild with strikes. Ayers gets on top briefly but does nothing. When its stood back up, Gorman Jr. absorbs some punches and stuff and falls down. The end. Very blah. (0)
3) Jay Wadsworth vs. Jason Trzewieczynski: Jason T, as he will be known from here, is a 3-3 fighter, Wadsworth is 6-4. Lightweights. Pros. Do I care? Not entirely.
FIGHT: Jason T Submission Rnd 1. Wadsworth says in the prefight video package that he knows that Jason T has good submissions. What does he do? Takes it to the ground, then give up the arm inside a minute. Armbar from guard and sweeps Wadsworth over. (0)
4) Taylor Solomon vs. Sam Pascuzzi: Pascuzzi is a late replacement says a video package, and at a 180lb catchweight.
FIGHT: Solomon Submission Rnd 1. Solomon is from the Niagara Falls Gracie Baha school and shows that he has legit BJJ by moving to 3-0 and submitting Pascuzzi. Again, like the last shown fight - a situation of someone having a terrible gameplan with Pascuzzi getting the takedown and giving up the arm. Solomon though transitioned into it much faster, and while he was a little sloppy, Pascuzzi couldn't rotate out. (1) Solomon gets a point because he's the only interesting prospect.
5) Daniel Dwyer vs. Erik Herbert: 190lb catchweight here.
FIGHT: Dwyer Submission Rnd 2. Easy fight for Herbert. The only meaningful strike in the fight was in the start of round 2 from Dwyer as Herbert waltzed in hands down. The rest of the fight is basically either Dwyer pushing Herbert into the cage or Dwyer laying on top of Herbert. This does shift in the last two minutes or so as Herbert rolls over and gives his back in an attempt to get out of half guard. Eventually Herbert sinks in the choke. (0)
6) Alexis Davis vs. Elaina Maxwell: 135lb title fight, I think. Except that Maxwell came in over by 2.5 lbs. So it actually isn't. Davis is champion, like it matters.
FIGHT: Maxwell Unanimous Decision. A terrible, terrible fight. Among the worst I've EVER seen. Davis and Maxwell clinch up, Davis pushes trying to get throws, doesn't do anything, gets like two submission attempts, Maxwell kinda pushes her off and shit and man, this is terrible. Maybe 4 strikes landed the whole fight? Just abysmal to watch. The crowd leaves as the fight goes on. (0)
FIGHT OF THE NIGHT: Bauman/Carrow
KO OF THE NIGHT: Bauman/Carrow
SUBMISSION OF THE NIGHT: Solomon/Pascuzzi
OVERALL FOR THE EVENT: 2 out of 10. The promotion blew all their money for the night paying Royce Gracie's appearance fee to do signatures. Seriously. I can see it in the matchmaking and the people they booked. Maxwell hadn't fought for two fucking years before this fight. The card gets a 2 out of 10 only because I can see Solomon going somewhere in the sport with his BJJ. Maybe a TUF appearance or something?
D&R Rating: 3% (1/30)
