Let’s get started with the Under Card:
Andrew Mo (0-1) vs Horea Tristan (0-0) --> 145 lbs
Not a very exciting fight, as they both felt a bit the pressure of debuting.
Right from the begining Mo seemed the more agresive fighter getting into clinch and imediate looking for a takedown, taking the fight to the mat. Tristan seemed to be happy on his back even if he took a few ground and pound he never stoped going for submissions. After 5 failed sub attempts, Tristan got a loose triangle and just a moment of lapse from Mo and he was in deep water. Mo had no choise but to tap even thow it was very close to the end of the round.
Official decision: Tristan wins by Submission (Triangle Choke) at 4:58 in round 1.

Shane McLain (0-0) vs Greg Drope (0-0) --> 265 lbs
It was all McLain in this fight. Drope came a bit tired in this fight as he worked hard and considered he didn’t need to much rest. He tried to get the fight to the ground, because of McLain power, but with no avail. With just 18 second into the fight McLain connected with a hook that rocked Drope.
