1) Justin Bonner vs. Damian Jackson: 170lbers. Jackson making his pro debut. 2 minute rounds in Nevada.
FIGHT: Jackson TKO Rnd 2. Furious pace to start and Bonner eats a front kick to the balls. After a break, back to wild swinging. In the second, Bonner ends up eating a high kick and he goes down. Jackson follows up and forces the stoppage.
2) Ashley Cummins vs. Gabriella Lakoczky: If Lakoczky is any good she's gonna be some sort of sex symbol in MMA with her mohawk and Swedish background. From Gothenburg, no less. She's also 12 years older than her opponent but trains with Wanderlei. She is like some merger of Wendy O Williams and Dimitry Wanderlei. 3X3 because its for a championship.
FIGHT: Cummins Unanimous Decision. No doubt whatsoever on the cards. Cummins takes down Lakoczky in every round and threatens with submissions from the mount, then retakes mount, and screws up again and retakes mount. Etc etc. On and on.
3) Alex Brooks vs. Kalino Yap: .500 guys. Lightweights.
FIGHT: Yap Unanimous Decision. Brooks is incredibly rangy - long, lean, but muscular. a 6' 155lb fighter generally is those things. Yap is amart enough to realize that trading with such an individual puts him at great disadvantage, so he consistently looks for takedowns. Brooks is a sucker for them too but does a good job of reversing position and punching. It doesn't matter though - while Brooks clearly wins the 3rd, the takedowns and top control from Yap wins the fight.
4) Rene Flores vs. Jace Crawford: Flores is really soft. Still like 145 or something like that.
FIGHT: Crawford TKO Rnd 1. Crawford uncomfortably stands with Flores, cuts him with a headbutt as they go to clinch, and then ends up taking him down and smashing him. Afterwards he paces around looking very hard. Whatever. You beat a guy who was probably 3 inches shorter than you and chubby at MMA tinyweight. You aren't some calculating killer. Hate dudes like that.
5) Tommy Gavin vs. Lee Henry Lilly: Slightly bigger dudes. 185?
FIGHT: Gavin TKO Rnd 1. BOMBZ AWAY. Lilly ends up getting dropped and taken out.
6) Autumn Richardson vs. Emily Peters-Kagen: 1-0 MMA amateur women fighter, forget the weight, don't care.
FIGHT: Peters-Kagen TKO Rnd 1. She lands a right hand that busts Richardson's nose and wins the fight in like 23 seconds as the ref separates them, sends over her opponent to the corner and they won't let it go on.
7) Barry Prevost vs. Zack Grossman: 1-0 lightweights.
FIGHT: Prevost TKO Rnd 1. Prevost with a leaping front kick and Grossman goes down straight backwards, Prevost leaps on him. Grossman tries to fight his way out. I dunno, this is the amateurs. You get clipped and dropped with a headkick, don't be shocked if the ref comes to save you.
8) Chris Simmons vs. Kevin Absher: Fat heavyweights. Absher is 40.
FIGHT: Absher TKO Rnd 1. Clubberin' fat man kickboxing. Zane Frazier fighting the white dude at UFC 1 was like this but better because there were headstomps and no stalling. That was like two dudes fighting for their lives. This was bad MMA. Very different on the sleeze scale. Absher wins with a right uppercut. Absher did go for a takedown, which was kinda cool of him.
Oh hey, that's actually the whole show. Only runs one hour, then they tack on a MMA 30 episode at the first UFC Fan Expo.
FIGHT OF THE NIGHT: Absher/Simmons
KO OF THE NIGHT: Gavin/Lilly
OVERALL FOR THE EVENT: 2 out of 10. You might have noticed that I didn't give D&R scores. I decided not to type any in because none of these fights mattered. All zeros. There was carnage and that is about all I can say that is good.
D&R Rating: 0%
