BOUT 1 AMATEUR MMA
DYMOND JONES DEF. MARK SERKEZ - SPLIT DECISION (12:00 R3)
It was the debut for each of these light heavyweight fighters. Both were well-trained and thus they were evenly matched.
BOUT 2 AMATEUR MMA
RAN WEATHERS DEF. CHASE KNIGHT (TAP OUT – ARMBAR - 0:26 R1)
Weathers was quick to secure the armbar submission, avenging an earlier loss.
BOUT 3 PRO MMA
MARK LONGWORTH DEF. CORY NESTLEHUTT (TAP OUT – STRIKES – 4:32 R1)
Nestlehutt appeared to have the upper hand from the get go, forcing Longworth to the ground and mounting; however, Longworth was able to defend, weather the storm and ultimately reverse and land strikes to force the tap out.
BOUT 4 PRO MMA
JUAN GUEVARA DEF. TERRANCE JONES (TAP OUT – REAR NAKED CHOKE – 1:01 R1)
Guevara was sharp in his pro debut closing the distance for the clinch, taking Jones to the ground, mounting and then getting the back for the RNC tap out.
BOUT 5 PRO MMA
JOE MERRITT DEF. JOHN TARRH (TAP OUT – 1:14 R1)
Tarrh seemed in control early on securing the take down and getting mount.
Merritt swept him and Tarrh all of a sudden cried out in pain and immediately tapped out. The ring physician confirmed that he had somehow separated his shoulder.
BOUT 6 PRO MMA
JAMEY TONEY DEF. MAT SANTOS (CORNER STOPPAGE – TOWEL THROWN IN – 1:31 R1
In the first of two victories by Team Jorge Gurgel fighters, Toney looked sharp, mounting and raining down blows, forcing Santos’ corner to throw in the towel.
BOUT 7 PRO MMA
DIEGO SARAIEVA DEF. BRANDON BLEDSOE (TAP OUT – 0:52 R1)
Hats off to Bledsoe for accepting a fight against a BJJ Black belt on two days notice. While he started off strong, Saraieva was too slick, securing the armbar.
BOUT 8 PRO MMA
SCOTT HARPER DEF. KEVIN BROOKS (REF STOPPAGE – 0:37 R1)
Harper, in only his second pro bout, stepped up to face the veteran, Brooks. It was all Harper as he knocked Brooks down, mounted and rained down punches until Ref Forrest stepped in to halt the onslaught.
BOUT 9 PRO MMA
COLE “WUNDERKIND” MILLER DEF. TIM HONEYCUTT (KO – 0:23 R1)
Miller, primarily known as a grappler, showed precision punching ending the bout with a crisp straight right that put Honeycutt on the canvas to stay.
BOUT 10 PRO MMA
ANDREW “SPROUT” VARNEY DEF. RASHAD KHALLIQ (TAPOUT – STRIKES - 1:42 R2
In what initially appeared to be a mismatch in Khalliq’s favor, Team Jorge Gurgel fighter Varney took all the punishment Khalliq had to offer (which would have KO’ed many a fighter) and then, in the second round, turned it on against his obviously tired and frustrated opponent.
BOUT 11 PRO MMA
LUIGI FIORAVANTI DEF. TIM STOUT (UNANIMOUS DECISION – 15:00 R3)
The fight of the night featured two warriors slugging it out in a 15 minute war. No one left their seat as neither fighter backed down or away. Fioravanti landed more combinations en route to the victory, but neither fighter left unscathed. Amazing battle!
BOUT 12 PRO MMA
JEFF “LITTLE POPEYE” BEDARD DEF. ROCKY LONG (UNANIMOUS DECISION – 15:00 R3)
Bedard’s lightning fast takedowns, leverage and positioning were too much for Long. Rocky was never able to get off as Bedard would take him down and Ground N’ Pound.
BOUT 13 PRO MMA
ANDY FOSTER DEF. WAYNE MUSIC (TAP OUT – ARMBAR – 1:19 R1)
In a rematch of an earlier victory, Foster proved it was no fluke. Music got the takedown and Foster pulled guard, defending and baiting until Music gave him the arm. Music did take the fight on short notice when Foster’s original opponent was injured, but offered no excuses this time around.
BOUT 14 PRO MMA
RAPHAEL ASSUNCAO DEF. WILLIAM MCGLOTHLIN (TAP OUT – GUILLOTINE – 3:58 R2)
Assuncao controlled from the beginning. At 3:58 of R2 McGlothlin tapped to the guillotine, keeping Raphael’s unbeaten streak intact.
BOUT 15 PRO MMA
TREVOR GARRETT DEF. CHARLES MCCARTHY (CHOKE OUT – GUILLOTINE – 0:39 R1)
In a huge upset, McCarthy shot and Garrett secured the guillotine. They went to the ground, but Garrett held on. McCarthy wound up going to sleep.
