1) Nick Catone vs. Ben Knight: Catone was on TUF and still has a contract, so he can't be THAT bad.
FIGHT: Catone TKO Rnd 1. Catone rushes towards Knight to start with and doesn't even duck for a double. He eventually puts him on his back in side control with a brute force takedown and smashes him out with elbows. Sorta impressive? (1)
2) Marc Stevens vs. Alexis Aquino: Kinda interesting fight with a TUF fighter from season 12.
FIGHT: Aquino TKO Rnd 2. (1)
Aquino: Goes after a soft Stevens and wants the takedown. Stevens lands a nice knee in the clinch, but aside from that, Aquino is never really in any trouble. In the second round Aquino gets down Stevens, takes the back, flattens out Stevens, and pounds him out.
Stevens: Can sorta strike, which if you watched TUF you know. Can't grapple worth shit, which if you watched TUF, you know.
3) Richard Boine vs. Douglas Gordon: Don't know these dudes. Welterweights.
FIGHT: Gordon Submission Rnd 1. Gordon and Boine lock up early, Gordon gets a takedown, and then ends up dominating the fight there. He takes dominant position, forces Gordon to give up the back, and rides him for awhile throwing punches and eventually finishing by rear naked choke. (0)
4) Charlie Brenneman vs. Marc Berrocal: Welterweight tournament final thing for a belt.
FIGHT: Brenneman TKO Rnd 2. Just a beating. Brutal to watch, actually. Brenneman gets Berrocal down in both rounds from the very beginning and beats him down with GNP. Sure, it takes like 9 minutes to finally force a stoppage, and Berrocal does attempt to get up, shrimp, etc during the fight, but man he gets shellacked. Brenneman proves to be adequate with takedowns and punching people at his own pace. (2)
5) Lance Everson vs. Mark Massenzio: Middleweight tournament final and some sort of belt on the line. Massenzio got to the UFC.
FIGHT: Massenzio Submission Rnd 1. Massenzio asserts early his superior strength with a takedown and while Everson is able to fight his way up, his own takedown attempt falls way short and Massenzio ends up controlling the standup as well against a tenative opponent. Massenzio hurts Everson with a punch, forces the fight to a clinch, then gets a takedown. In the midst of that, Everson tries to escape and stand and ends up in a guillotine. Even with the arm in, Massenzio forces a tap. (1)
6) Gregor Gracie vs. Eric Henry: RANDOM GRACIE~
FIGHT: Gracie Submission Rnd 2. Henry is a karate guy with a funny stance and he's not a very good wrestler. Gracie shoots immediately and gets a takedown, and nearly gets an armbar in the first, but Henry breaks out. Still, Gracie runs pretty much the whole round even standing. In round two, Gracie is thrown to the side during a takedown attempt but gets it eventually and eventually moves to side control and wins with a kimura. (0)
FIGHT OF THE NIGHT: Gracie/Henry
SUBMISSION OF THE NIGHT: Gracie/Henry
KO OF THE NIGHT: Catone/Knight
OVERALL FOR THE EVENT: 3 out of 10. Some prospects with easy wins but the fights I want to see aren't online and apparently no one is even selling a bootleg of this event. Awful.
D&R Rating: 17% (5/30)
