UNDERCARD
Fruit Faggots defeats Jarizinho Jankens via Decision (Unanimous)
Jankens started off the fight with a quick takedown into Faggot's guard but Faggot was quick to use Jankens' failed attempts at GnP to reverse the position. Jankens then tried to regain top position but Faggots was just on top of him controlling the action until he decided to stand up. Jankens was winning the stand up exchanges so everyone in the arena including me was surprised when he shot in for another takedown. Near the end of the round Faggots managed to land a beautiful sweep but couldn't do much in the dominant position as the round had come to an end.
The second round started with both fighters attempting and stuffing each other's takedowns until Jankens finally managed to close the distance and get the trip into his opponent's guard. Faggots managed another sweep and just sat in Jankens guard intent on controlling and improving position until the round ended.
Jankens came out swinging in the third round but only managed to land a body shot before surprising us yet again with another takedown. It didn't take long for Faggots to land his fourth sweep of the fight and just sit there in Jankens guard till the referee got tired and called a stand up. Shortly after the stand up Faggots scored his first takedown of the fight and you already know he just sat there till the fight drew to a conclusion. Faggot's strategy was fucking boring but he got the dub so none of us can say shit.
Jeremias Furtwangler defeats Tommo Wolfe via Decision (Unanimous)
The first round started with Wolfe aggressively looking for takedowns but Furtwangler managed to keep the fight standing. Furtwangler threw a lot of combos, missing way more than he was landing but he was doing some damage on his opponent because late in the first round he managed to knock down and rock Wolfe. Wolfe was lucky he was caught like that as the round ended or else he would've went to sleep really early.
Wolfe got his legs back in the second round and was back to shooting for takedowns. Furtwangler displayed amazing takedown defence yet again and his biggest moment in this round was when he knocked down Wolfe just over a minute in the round. Wolfe showed great heart to finish the round still standing
The last was pretty much a repeat of the last two rounds but without the knockdowns. Interestingly, in this fight Wolfe had 100% single head punch accuracy while Furtwangler had just over 50% but he landed more shots and that's why I think he dominated the judges scorecards. Furtwangler's striking could be a lot better of he could just chill on the combos and just go for single strikes. Wolfe on the other hand needs to stop constantly going for takedowns, in this fight he proved to be a somewhat decent striker and I feel like he should stand and bang more.
Ken Fury defeats James Taylor via Submission (Kimura)
In this rather brief fight both fighters came out swinging and headhunting. It was Fury's fist that connected nicely with Taylor's skull and sent him crashing to the mat. Fury followed him to the ground where he separated an arm and locked in a Kimura forcing Taylor to tap
Dawah Ohno defeats James Crazyhorse via TKO (Strikes)
Oh my god, now this was a crazy fight. Not crazy as in it was super entertaining, no, it was just crazy. One guy threw one hundred and thirty five punches and only landed twenty eight and the other attempted sixty seven takedowns and landed none of them. The highlight moment in this fight, aside from the actual knockout, came in the second round when Crazyhorse was rocked hard, by a jab. At least he had the heart to keep on fighting for a few more minutes. The conclusion to the fight came in the third round when Ohno unleashed a big left hand that dropped Crazyhorse and then proceeded to finish him off with strikes.
Werner Heisenberg defeats Leffe Vulk via Decision (Unanimous)
Heisenberg initiated a clinch just seconds into the fight when he darted in and pushed Vulk against the cage. He dominated the clinch for four minutes, landing knees and punches until Vulk managed to get a takedown late into the round. Vulk then proceeded to unleash some heavy ground and pound from side control, Heisenberg was fortunate that the round had come to an end because he was getting badly beaten down there.
In the second round both fighters thought to showcase their stand up skills as they stood and banged in front of an entertained crowd for over two minutes. Heisenberg got tired of that though and initiated his second clinch which was a smart move because those two minutes of dominance in the clinch won him the round.
Vulk finally got his first takedown of the night early in the third round. He managed to work his opponent with some nice ground and pound but the referee wasn't entertained and so he decided to stand the fight back up. Heisenberg didn't waste no time at all to take the fight into the clinch where he ruled till the final bell rang. His clinchwork definitely won him this fight because Vulk was looking dangerous on the ground and in the standup.
MAIN CARD
Fotu Veainu defeats Darby Allin via TKO (Strikes)
If you read my preview you know I anticipated this one sided beat down. Ok I'll be honest it wasn't a beat down but still a one round KO is a dominant victory and befitting of a Veainu boy. Allin made the mistake of being too aggressive not knowing that Veainus are smart savages who have brutal counter, just ask Finlayson. Allin was first dropped by a huge right hand that followed after a beautiful feint. Fotu continued to play with his opponent making him think that he was actually missing when in reality he was trying to get him excited so that he went full aggro, which he did and got caught with a nasty counter right hand that dropped him on his back. Fotu didn't waste any time to follow up the knockdown with more strikes forcing the referee to save Allin before he could lose more than a few teeth and brain cells. Veainu for the win.
Dan Dinklage defeats Ezekiel Rawlins via TKO (Strikes)
Rawlins with his dumb ass face and those glasses deserved to get knocked the fuck out in this fight. You don't fight dwarves with low morale, you just don't. You have to make sure you're fully prepared and motivated when fighting a dwarf if you hope to have a chance at victory. It took Dinklage just mere seconds to get a takedown into side control, and from there he let off big shots that forced the referee to jump in and stop the fight. Title fight?
Erick Scantling defeats Uncle Nasty via TKO (Strikes)
It's confirmed, Scantling's first victory over Nasty wasn't a fluke. Scantling is actually a better fighter than Uncle Nasty, give this man a title shot! These guys went at it for a minute straight throwing and ducking punches with Scantling getting the better of the exchanges. Nasty must've felt being outstruck because he initiated a clinch not knowing that he'd get vadly dominated in there too. After two minutes in the clinch Nasty broke it up and they were back to striking at a distance but Scantling dominated yet again and won the first round just like that.
Being badly dominated like that in the first round I have to wonder what must've been going through Nasty's mind. The opponent was better than him in all aspects and he was in a helpless situation. The fight resumed and Scantling continued with his dominance until he caught Nasty with a straight left hand that dropped him to the floor and followed it up with more bombs forcing a stoppage from the ref.
Alex Munhoz defeats Nicholas McDonald via Submission (RNC)
The first round started and McDonald was completely peppering his opponent's head with punches and Munhoz was doing very little to defend himself. After a minute of taking this punishment he was knocked down and rocked, but not finished. Two minutes of dishing out punishment seemed to annoy McDonald because he decided to clinch up with his opponent, a poor decision. Munhoz managed to pull guard shortly after but wasn't able to do much before the round ended.
The second round got underway and McDonald was back punishing Munhoz. This lasted for a solid moment until McDonald threw a lazy punch which allowed Munhoz to counter with a takedown into side control. He was then able to get his opponent's back and lock in a rear naked choke and get the submission victory. Amazing comeback victory for Alex Munhoz.
Lesley Dancer defeats Fabio Castelo via KO (Strikes)
Dancer, who was too scared to stand and bang with his opponent like a man decided to initiate a clinch very early in the fight. He then did something very cowardly and fitting of a Super Smesh Bros fighter, and that is rocking his opponent and breaking the clinch so he could finish the fight with a highlight reel KO victory outside the clinch. I won't lie, his tactic was cowardly but also kinda entertaining.
