Fight 6: Dexter Fielding vs. Mike TriX



"Damage" Fielding won this fight via a thunderous TKO (Strikes) in the 1st round. Fielding took the fight to Counter Striker Mike TriX, who has powerful takedowns. The round started with a takedown from Fielding that caused a slow start. Some GNP shots led to a few submission attempts and transitions, ultimately landing a few killer blows on Mike TriX, knocking him out for a 80% fight rating.

Fight 7: Dean Sutherlund vs. Clyde Renato



The round started with a takedown attempt from Renato, leading to a nice counter. Early in the fight, Renato, who apparently has a good gas tank, became winded. A nice low kick from Sutherlund from points as another takedown fails. A few kicks later and Renato drops to the mat. Sutherlund's intelligence kicks in and he goes for the kill. Sutherlund wins via TKO (Strikes) in the 1st round. Outstanding victory.

Fight 8: Barry Badridge vs. Gambit Wolverine



I have to say, this was one kick ass match. It was all over the place. It went from Takedowns to Clinches, from Submission attempts to high-kicks. Round 1 was the mixed bag. Round 2 was a submission festive for Badridge and round 3 was more in the favor of Gambit Wolverine. Badrige won with 30, 30, 30 to 28, 27, 27. Outstanding performance from both of these men.

Co-Main Event: Sergio Postiga vs Ronaldo Pitbull



This match got the fight of the night award and granted. This match was even more kick-ass than the last one. Though, accordingly scheduled for 3 rounds, this 5 round match drove the wind out of both Sergio and Ronaldo. The greater fighter was Sergio Postiga, however, picking up the victory. What amazed me that this entire match is a mixed bag. Takedowns everywhere. Submissions everywhere. Clinches here and there. Great fight, worth the 99% fight rating.

Main Event: Stevie Gonzales vs. Edinaldo Oliveira



The legendary Mr. Jobber has had plenty of losses in his career. He turned the knob a while ago though, and went on to make monsters. Stevie Gonzales is one of them. He is now on the 8th victory in-a-row mark. He has been knocking the competition out just like Edinaldo has been, but two immovable objects met and clashed in the cage. None of them went down and it was thrown to the judges which ruled Gonzales the victor. Great fight.



That's it for me! See you later!
