UNDERCARD
Jamari Lexington defeats Bruce Leroy via Submission (Armbar)
The night got off to a nice start as Jamari Lexington pulled off a quick submission win against Bruce Leroy. Leroy's biggest mistake was moving in to clinch when he had just thwarted his opponent's attempt at doing that. That should've told him of Lexington's confidence in the clinch but no, the idiot hugged his opponent and got taken down after a few attempts. From there it took no time at all for Lexington to lock in an armbar and get the dub. Much needed win for him and Leroy needs to reevaluate his career options as he's not having a great time as a fighter.
Landau Aisland defeats Odin Frank via Decision (Unanimous)
Nobody expected Aisland to survive the first minute of the fight as he was caught lacking very early and rocked by a nice hook by Frank. Not only did Aisland survive the first minute but he also dominated all three rounds. Frank couldn't find an answer to Aisland's takedowns so as a result he got taken down very early in each round and had the unfortunate luck of having to defend over thirty submission attempts by his opponent. With a little bit more killer instinct Frank would've put this one in the bag early. Congratulations to Aisland for getting his first professional MMA win.
Fergus Archer defeats Jesus Salazaro via Decision (Unanimous)
Once again Salazaro loses a fight due to terrible decision making by him and his team. Remember on 'Rogues Invade On Saturdays 3' when he got his ass whooped in clinches that he initiated? He did it again, he fookin did. I'm telling you, if he does that shit again I'm gonna give him a nickname and make his manager change his original one. Well enough if the ranting, on to the review. Well, what is there to review because as I just said, Salazaro got his ass whooped in the clinch. The only big moment in this fight is Archer rocking his opponent in the third round but other than that Salazaro got his ass handed to him. His chin kept him alive yet again, I wish a certain someone had that kind of chin. More on that later though.
Adu Akin defeats Brucie McGavin via TKO (Strikes)
First KO of the night let's gooooo! This was a fun fight to watch I won't lie, both guys were throwing power shots, missing more than they landed of course. Things got bloody really early, with Akin cutting his opponent open with a crisp jab, yeah jabs are super dangerous one of my guys got rocked by one last week. Akin finally put a stop to this contest of savages as he landed with a big counter right hand that sent McGavin crashing to the mat and followed up with more strikes to get the stoppage victory. In a battle of power and chin power wins.
Dennis Frost defeats James Baxter via Submission (Armbar)
Dennis Frost was just beautiful in this fight, definitely performance of the night for me. He showed dominance in standup landing a total of 23 strikes to his opponent's 4. He then put up a nice fight in the clinch where he managed to land a strike before pulling guard and finally, the quick submission was cherry on top of a marvelous night for the 25 year old.
MAIN CARD
John Dory defeats Tonio Conti via TKO (Cut)
Now things got real bloody here. First off though I want to apologize to John Dory, on this event's preview I kinda went in on him for not having full morale ahead of a fight. His morale was at 50% if I remember correctly. Now back to the review, Dory came in with a well thought out plan and it worked wonders for him. He used Conti's overly aggressiveness against him and landed those nice counter punches that cut him open little by little. Eventually the referee had to stop the fight due to Conti's cuts becoming a problem. I know Conti is disappointed at himself after that performance.
Ghasem Zahari defeats Clemente Abreu via KO (Punch)
Abreu could really use Jesus Salazaro's chin no kidding. He was the only person on the card to get knocked out for real which is kind of disappointing to say the least. And Zahari was just having his way in that short fight, missing just two of the twelve punches he threw. His Street Fighter like uppercut is what had Abreu's legs turning to jelly and the follow up knockout punch was executed perfectly. The way he combines accuracy and power is just so beautiful, a true sniper he is.
Jim Miggleton defeats Darby Allin via TKO (Cut)
This is another contest that got real bloody real quick. After clinching very early on, Miggleton began showing us the ways of Muay Thai. Elbows and knees, that's what destroyed Allin and the fact he couldn't defend a single one of them just shows that his opponent is on another level. After taking seven elbows to the face, and with each elbow opening up his cut, Allin had to be forced to withdraw by the doctor for his safety earning Miggleton a TKO victory. It's amazing that he was able to bloody up Allin like that in under a minute.
Dragutin Bjelica defeats Ken Fury via TKO (Strikes)
In my last preview I talked about Bjelica's Hug of Death and how Fury should avoid it by all means. Well, he couldn't and he took a hell lot of punishment inside that clinch. Bjelica landed all his strikes from clinch position and rocked his opponent just before the one minute mark. He then kept him alive a little longer and when he was about to recover he pounced with a mighty uppercut and followed it with a barrage of strikes forcing the ref to stop the fight. Another dominant win by the big man, nobody is safe from him in the division.
MAIN EVENT
Buzz Killer defeats Nicholas McDonald via Decision (Unanimous)
Now this main event was decent to watch, at least for me. I mean yeah, seeing to guys hugging each other is gay and boring but they were pretty active inside that clinch, they were giving each other the work. Well, Killer absolutely dominated the clinch but McDonald did alright. Killer threw one hundred and sixteen punches in the clinch and scored with fifty seven of them while McDonald threw fifty three and landed eighteen. McDonald tried to either break or control the clinch too much instead of actually striking and I feel like that's what cost him the fight eventually because the only way to beat Killer's aggression and output was to outstrike him. Killer breaks McDonald's three fight streak while extending his own to four, ain't that incredible?
