265 lbs.: Kid Dynamite def. Milano Mazric via KO (strikes), 1:20 of round 1
One more time Dynamite showed how good he is. 24-year old scored his fourth win in a row, and his next fight will be for title for sure. Kid is the first who didn’t let Mazric show his jiu-jitsu. Dynamite scored quick cross which cut Milano, then he landed very strong uppercut. Poor Mazric was just a training bag for pumped, dynamic T.N.T. Another hook from the older, then quick jab, powerful shot to the body and one more jab. Dynamite moved into the clinch but Mazric broke it with no problems. There was some distance between them and Kid used it to throw a jab, then he burned with quick as hell spinning back fist – and he landed! Mazric fell down and ref jumped in to save Italian.
170 lbs.: Eric Bing def. Bengt Larzon via KO (knee), 4:05 of round 1
One more time on this card striker proved to be better than grappler. I said if Bing will impress, he will get titleshot. And he impressed. Just a great performance of muay-thai skills right here. Eric just dominated Larzon in the clinch where from he managed bunch of sharp knees and elbows: to the head, to the body, just everywhere. Bing cut Bengt’s face, he rocked brown belt few times and knocked him down two times. Finally, he unleashed brutal knee to the head of helpless Larzon and that was over. Amazing knockout!

170 lbs.: Klaus Andersen def. David Stepp via KO (strikes), 1:58 of round 1
Easy job for Andersen. He used his best set to take Stepp down just after first bell – high lift and he was in half guard. Then he begun working on his position: some scuffles, some quick punches but with no spectacular successes. Stepp was defending very well, but finally Klaus managed right into full mount and that was beginning of the end for 25-year old. Klaus begun landing strikes from the top, he cut Stepp badly with one of his fury strikes which also rocked him. Andersen was dominating, in addition David got tired and he wasn’t able to defend himself. Another strong shots from Andersen and finally the one which sent Stepp to Morpheus’s arms. Impressive knockout victory for very young gentleman, Andersen.
155 lbs.: Vasiliy Syrovatkin def. Jake Damajur via unanimous decision, 5:00 of round 3
Great debiut for Russian Syrovatkin. I told you this fight should be most difficult for Damajur so far and it was. Vasiliy showed very nice wrestling in these fiveteen minutes. By whole fight he kept avoiding any Jake’s offensive outings. Damajur did quite good job on the ground where he scored few good roll-overs, but he was completely helpless in stand up. Syrovatkin was just better fighter this night: he landed few punches in stand up and he succeed in all takedown tries. After three rounds judges deservedly gave him three times 30-27 victory.
185 lbs.: Paul Tempest def. Giona Marchesi via TKO (strikes), 0:17 of round 2
Tempes is on fire. After very entertaining brawl he scored another stoppage, defeating solid Marchesi after 17 seconds of second round. Paul comfortably won the first one after domination in stand up. He proved as much better kickboxer than Marchesi and he beat Italian up using elbows and knees in the clinch. Tempest even knocked him down, but he wasn’t able to finish. The second one went similar. Tempest quickly shortened the distance and moved into the clinch. He beat Marchesi again, but finally Giona broke up Tempest’s hips. He burned up with brutal combo right on his face, hovewer bleeding Paul countered with maaaasssssive head kick which sent Marchesi down again, this time Tempest quickly jumped in with another punches, forcing ref to stop this show.
265 lbs.: Lance Jones def. Thiago Luiz via TKO (strikes), 0:44 of round 2
Wow, just wow! Jones was almost out of cold in first round, after Luiz cracked him via uppercut. I don’t have idea how the hell Lance survived that. He was completely gassed but somehow he defended Luiz’s fury submission tries on the ground and he even score takedown! This guy is definitely big hearted. In second round Jones scored quick takedown just after ten seconds, another time Luiz tried to finish him by submission but once again Lance defended, then he landed few strong elbows right to Thiago’s forehead. Jones exploded with more punches and he finished the fight landing more crushing bombs.
265 lbs.: Krzysztof Rewudzki def. Harrison Mckinney via unanimous decision, 5:00 of round 3
That was just a solid piece of heavyweight action. They both were good prepared in all physical aspects, but after all the person who was able to put his gameplan better than oponent was Krzysztof Rewudzki. Young Polish won this fight using wrestling but he showed quite good boxing too. Mckinney performed as a guy with solid skills, but this time that was not enough to win.
170 lbs.: Duarte Madeiros def. Jimmy Johnson via submission (guillotine), 3:59 of round 1
Johnson was beating Madeiros up in stand up using every kind of kicks, but when Duarte felt threatened, he dived to Jimmy’s legs and took fight to the ground. Madeiros is brown belt, Johnson is only blue but Duarte surprisingly did not outclassed his oponent in grappling. In first two minutes on the ground he tried two subs but with no succes – no surprise here. Finally Madeiros decided to use his offensive jiu-jitsu skills and he managed triangle choke, Johnson defended very well but the second try was succesfull. Madeiros caught his neck and squizeed it veeery strong, forcing Jimmy to tap.
135 lbs.: Attention Aie def. Brian Lima via submission (kimura), 1:03 of round 1
Once again Aie showed he is very smart guy with great grappling. He was fighting with wonderful striker, so why would he exchange with him? Attention improved his boxing since last fight, but he was still worse hiter than really serious muay-thai kickboxer Lima. Aie decided to take him down quick as possible and he succed. However Brian was working very well from his back, so Aie back to stand up, but just seconds after he scored another takedown, this time right into side control. Clever! Attention managed kimura, Lima has strong arms but not enough strong for guy like Aie. Brian has been forced to tap by Attention after very entertaining 63 seconds of action.
