As well as a few surprises, as some of the guys i would have considered favorites came up on the loosing end. Overall quite an impressive showing for some of the top future Featherweight contenders. Now lets get down to the action, and Here we go!

 

Group A 

Moonlight Groundy def Ares Galvao (Submission Armbar) Rd 1 1:40

This pairing was expected to be a certified grappling match and it was from the start. Ares Galvao to control as he secured a quick takedown to bring the fight to the mat. Ares looked to control this fight from the top position and was doing so until Groundy say no sir! At the 1:30 Mark looked to latch on a Triangle but it was quickly transitioned to a fight ending Armbar to force Galvao to tap.

Chukwu Adeoluwa def Cameron White (TKO Strikes) Rd 2 3:56

In are next fight "The Nigerian Dream" looked unstoppable as he ground and pounds his way to the next round. Chukwu's aggressive ground striking was to much for the BJJ Purple Belt Cameron White who struggled to actively work from his back. Adeoluwa was a perfect 2 for 2 on his Takedown Attempts but his furious Ground and Pound strikes where the difference as he landed an impressive 28 out of 29 in route to the second round TKO.

Jake Askren def Rick Richardson Unanimous Decision

This fight was a classic Striker vs Grappler bout with The Wrestling standout Jake Askren exposing Richardson's ability to get stuff the shot. Richardson a Muay Thai expert with an improving BJJ game had some moments where he gained control on the ground hust to have the positioning snatched right back by the superior grappler in Askren.  At the end of the fight there was not much doubt that Jake's Ground Strikes and Control on the ground had just gained him the Decision.

Jim Lahey def Kili Disson Unanimous Decision

One of those upsets i spoke of came in the final group A pairing as Jim Lahey was able to defend the relentless submission attack of his opponent Disson. This one was not pretty by any means as Kili was struggling to keep a lock on Jim who was doing his best just to survive on the ground. Lahey managed to defend all 18 of Kili's Sub Attempts and finally got some decent strikes in on the feet late in round 3 as he earns the Decision Victory. What may have been more disappointing then the fight. was Lahey's drunkin post fight speech.

Group B

Michael Bostic def Dustin Ribas (TKO Strikes) Rd 3 3:26

Bostic Dominated this fight on the ground and on the feet, Although the ground was much more crucial in the end. Bostic had Ribas in trouble early in round 1 with a vicious body shot followed up with a Elbow to Dustin's head that rocked him for a moment. Ribas though gained his conscious and the two BJJ Purple belts continued on. Ribas knowing he was down 2 rounds knew he needed a finish, so he started to get more aggressive with his attempts this may have left just enough opening though for Bostic to hammer the nail in the coffin as the Wrestler pounds his way to the TKO finish landing 30 out of 35 ground strikes in the fight.

Alex Barnes def Sir Tessin Unanimous Decision

Another grappling Display here and i wouldn't say it was dominant but Alex Barnes was very comfortably ahead on the score cards as Sir Tessin slowly ran out of gas. Tessin had little to know offense in this fight as his Opponent on the other hand had some decent success with ground strikes. Both fighters managed two successful takedowns, tessin two in the clinch while Barnes snagged his from the outside, the active ground strikes proved to be the difference maker in this one as Alex advances.

Seok Yi def Hank Rufkin Unanimous Decision

South Korean Seok Yi had a pretty strong showing against a well managed Hank Rufkin. Clinch Control played a huge part of this fight and well "Rock" landed a perfect 97 of 97 strikes in the clinch mixing it up with punches, knees and elbows. Rufkin did manage a little success on the ground picking up round two on the scorecards but Yi headed back to his Superior clinch for round three to take the UD 29-27 on all three scorecards.

Jack Dawson def Jerome Doblas (TKO Strikes) Round 3 4:30

Like the last Match up, this one was a battle that was one in the clinch and Jack Dawson was in charge of this one from start to finish. Jerome had a little success landing 15 out of 57 strikes, but it was no where near Dawson's strike % in the clinch. Dawson landed nearly 85% of his strikes 69% of which where knees for a total of which 160 strikes landed, what a fuckin manaic. Giving he is matched with Seok Yi in the next round there will be some violent clinch work in store for us.

Group C

Tourney Warrior def Karl Childers (TKO Strikes) Rd 2 3:11

After Round one it looked like Childers guard pulling tactics may lead him to victory as he managed to pull guard twice in the opening round and control the fight to take round 1. Tourney Warrior though made some wise adjustments and prevented Karl from getting the fight to the mat round 2 as Childers relentlessly struggled to do so. Warrior took advantage and started to tee off on the Arkansonian's head and body. The end came after a big right hand sent Childers to the mat and Warrior added some strikes from the mount to end the fight.

Pete Seat def Kloockz Diesel (Submission Guillotine) Rd 1 0:28

This one didn't last long Diesel came out with a body shot that missed its mark and Seat quickly moved into the clinch. Pete then goets a Takedown but Kloockz somehow lands on top, unfazed though Pete then locks on a tight Guillotine that forces a tap in under 30 seconds of the fight.

Harris Reed def Dante Solomon (Submission Kimura) Rd 1 3:59

Solomon the better striker of the two starts out strong landing 6 out of 11 on his strikes which took a bit of energy out of Reed. As the fight hits the two minute mark Harris realizing he is not getting anywhere on the feet changes levels and scores his first successful Takedown putting the Striker on his back.He starts off landing a nice elbow to soften Dante up, then starts trying submissions. After his first Kimura fails, the Brown belt in BJJ goes back to it once more and this time hes got forcing Solomon to tap out.

Jeremy Moyna def Jeremy Winters (KO Punch) Rd 1 0:18

There can only be one Warrior and there can only be one Jeremy, as Jeremy Moyna has emerged as the king of the Jeremey's. Winters though for all it's worth has a beautifull mustache, which may have outraged Moyna even more. After Winters second failed Takedown Moyna counters with the almighty "Right hand from Hell" putting Mr. Winters to sleep and giving Jeremy Moyna the quickest finish of the opening round.
