1) Daniel Abrol vs. Danny Van Bergen: Van Bergen is a european journeyman I'm familiar with from watching M-1. Abrol I've seen fight repeatedly in Cage Wars, and he's almost never very good.
FIGHT: Van Bergen Submission Rnd 1. KOTC special as VB closes distance, gets a big takedown, and works for a kimura. (0)
2) Tom Ahrens vs. Peter Duncan: Duncan sucks but at least puts on a good show. Ahrens defines journeyman and is from the US.
FIGHT: Duncan Unanimous Decision. I feel truly bad trying to give any sort of reasonable breakdown because I didn't pay a ton of attention to this, perhaps the most irrelevant of fights. But it wasn't too bad from what I saw - Ahrens won the first with takedowns and control, but gassed out in the second, was swept by Duncan, and basically Duncan ran shit from there. He bashed up Ahrens with some punches and knees in the third round while also nullifying any sort of offense when stuck on his back, and so he wins the fight. Like I said before about Duncan; not very good, but you like to watch him anyways. (0)
4) Tim Estes vs. Chris Stringer: Estes looks so ridiculously young.
FIGHT: Stringer Unanimous Decision. Again, another fight I tried to pay attention to and couldn't. Estes gets taken down repeatedly and beaten up on the feet, loses every round, and drops a decision. Estes does nothing to threaten Stringer from his back, so the fight is kinda a wash. (0)
5) Lee McKibbin vs. James Head: McKibbin is a guy who does a lot of things not too special, and Head is a guy from the US that looks a lot bigger.
FIGHT: Head Submission Rnd 2. Head gets down McKibbin in the first and does a decent amount of work there. Standing, both guys are hella wild. Second round sees Head being buzzed with a punch, being on his back, and he works for a triangle that he sorta sets up and takes his time with. He gets it though, and that's all that matters. (0)
6) Jimmy Mills vs. Michael Nichol: Mills has a decent overall record and hails from the US. Nichols I know has some sort of grappling background.
FIGHT: Mills Submission Rnd 1. North/South choke ends this after he takes down Nichol very early in the fight and lands a few shots. Its called an anaconda choke, but its clearly not. (0)
7) Colin Robinson vs. Dan Severn: Severn is, at this point, 49 I believe. Robinson had a chance in the UFC that did not go well.
FIGHT: Dan Severn Unanimous Decision. Horrible Dan Severn fight as they all are - he shoots in on Robinson who can't stop the double and can't do anything off his back. Meanwhile, Severn sits in half guard and does nothing round after round. Robinson may have actually won the first landing some punches standing and having Severn in trouble but gave up the second and third. (2)
FIGHT OF THE NIGHT: Ahrens/Duncan
SUBMISSION OF THE NIGHT: Mills/Nichol
OVERALL FOR THE EVENT: 3.5 out of 10. Another lousy Cage Wars show. At leat I can say I've seen more than half of them.
D&R Rating: 6% (2/35)
