Paul McCracken (5-2, 3-1 NGF) v Facaloto Gals (12-8, 4-5 NGF)
Facaloto Gals was emotional after this fight; he walked out of the octagon and just fell to his knees a few feet outside of the cage.� How can you blame him, he has completely lost his way and is tumbling downward in a way that looks irreversible.� Gals took this fight to the clinch early on and looked to wear out Paul McCracken with clinch knees and punches.� Gals wasn�t able to land anything in the clinch and he was actually working much harder than McCracken.� McCracken was able to break the clinch a couple of times, after breaking away the 2nd time, Gals came in low and McCracken was able to land a head kick that sent Gals falling backwards and down to the mat.� McCracken didn�t follow and Gals did manage to get back to his feet.� Just seconds later, Gals fainted, but stopped, and McCracken unloaded a head kick that drilled Gals in the side of the head and he fell to the ground, out cold, wow what a win for McCracken and another crushing loss for the former champion Facaloto Gals.�

Eduard Syroviy (13-5, 1-2 NGF) v #13 Andrew Golota (11-6, 6-4 NGF)
This was such a good fight and a huge; much needed win for Eduard Syroviy.� From the touch of the gloves these guys came out fighting, both were very active and aggressive.� It was Syroviy who had a weird game plan as he would clinch and then break the clinch, he didn�t do much offense or stall to rest, he would just clinch up, take a few shots from Andrew Golota and then break the clinch.� Golota was playing good defense, but Syroviy was landing big leg kicks that seemed to slow Golota down as this fight went on.� Most of this fight Golota�s corner was screaming out �uppercut� Golota did manage to land a few of them, but nothing damaging.� A big, damaging strike was landed by Eduard in the 1st, he nailed Golota with a perfect head kick that cut him open and had him crashing to the mat.� Both guys started the 2nd fighting very hard, back and forth they went, neither guy separating themselves until Syroviy landed a straight left right on the jaw of Golota which knocked him to the mat, Syroviy jumped on top and landed 4 more big strikes before the ref could jump in and end this one at 1:33 of the 2nd.� Great win from Syroviy and heartbreaking loss by Golota, but these two fought very hard and were rewarded with the FOTN award.

I was so excited to see this fight; these two are killers and two of the most exciting fighters in the division.� The bell rang, they touched gloves and it was Frost who landed the very first strike, a leg kick that landed and looked to hurt Polish Engineer.� For the next minute and a half, that was just about the only strike that landed.� Frost landed a few solid punches and so did Engineer, but both guys stayed on the outside and really didn�t engage each other.� Around the 2 minute mark, as the sold out crowd of 5,000 started to get a little restless, Frost landed a hook that cut Engineer on the forehead and blood was running down over his nose and making him a mess.� Engineer must have sensed he could only win this fight by getting it to the mat and he shot in for a double leg, but Frost defended well and he hopped back to the cage.� Engineer was still trying to get the take down, but Frost had under hooks.� Frost was able to spin and get free and as he did he came up with a uppercut that landed right under Engineers chin and Engineer went crashing to the mat.� Frost waived him back up and as the groggy Engineer stood up, Frost moved in for the kill.� He landed a few solid straight punches, a leg kick and then a violent right hand that KO�ed Engineer at 3:12 of the 1st round.� Frederick Frost is the real deal, he dismantled Polish Engineer and he�ll be thought of when handing out title or #1 contender fights for sure.
