170 lbs Wipe vs Maia
Going into this fight you knew it would be a ground battle, and that’s exactly what we got with Wipe vs Maia. Wipe controlled the majority of the fight as he was the one able to land the takedowns of the fight but Maia was able to reverse position several times but ultimate it proved to be his undoing . It took 3 rounds of high level grappling but Wipe was finally able to secure a triangle and win the fight.

170 lbs Krajcik vs Ward
Krajcik gameplan going into this fight was to use his superior Muay Thai to dominate in the clinch and that’s exactly what he did. Ward never stood a chance, he was barely able to land a strike, Krajcik on the other hand landed 88 strikes! Honestly Ward was lucky he even made it out of this fight after taking a beatdown like that.
WINNER: Krajcik via unanimous decision @ 5:00 rd 3
