Adriano Nasal ~vs~ Kyle Bradley
| Lightweights (155lbs)
World Jiu-Jitsu Champion, Adriano Nasal, tested his grappling
techniques versus the fierce and powerful striker Kyle Bradley,
in an extremely exciting Main Event. Nasal attempted to take
Bradley to the matt on two occasions with no success. Bradley
then faked a right and came back around with a left hook
that caught Nasal square on the button. Nasal hit the canvas
on
his back with Bradley not hesitating to quickly pounce on
top of
Nasal and deliver a three-punch flurry to his head before
the referee could stop the match. (TKO RD1 1:15)
Matt Thomas ~vs~ Aaron
Rosas | Heavyweights (235lbs)
Matt "The War Machine" Thomas came out quickly in RD1
and was the more aggressive of the two fighters. The last two
rounds however, Rosas appeared to be the more active fighter.
Thomas had run out of gas after RD1 and appeared fatigued in
the later rounds. This fight was not action packed and ended
up going to the score cards for a split decision win for Rosas.
(RD3 SD)
Chris Gates ~vs~ Jesse
Vasquez | Light Heavyweights (205lbs)
Gates took Vasquez out in RD2 1:15 with a guillotine chokehold
making Vasquez quickly tap out before he went unconscious.
Chris Hawk ~vs~ Jacob
Noe | Light Heavyweights (210lbs)
It was quickly apparent to everyone that these two fighters had
bad blood between them. Both fighters got nose to nose as the
referee covered his expectations and rules before the bell. Both
fighters delivered some good shots in RD1, but by RD 2 both fighters
had run out of gas. At one point, they both stood their lowering
their hands and trying to catch their breaths as the crowd quickly
expressed disappointment. Finally, Noe was able to get Hawk on
the ground and put him in a chokehold-causing Hawk to tap out.
(RD2 2:25 Submission)

Verdyne | Welterweights (170lbs)
Hancock used pure power to end this match in RD2 at the 2:19

a series of punches to the face causing the Referee to stop the
match.(RD 2:19 TKO)
