Ultimate Fight Night starts with the rookies, and ends with five of the top ten welterweights who are trying to rebound after losses.

'Rude Boy' Troy Mandaloniz, 29, Las Vegas, 3-1 v. Paul Georgieff, 26, Madison, Wisconsin, 5-2
(Blurcat: Mandaloniz via KO)

Our opener sees a man at risk: if Georgieff loses he is out of the development roster. Mandaloniz is a childhood pal of BJ Penn, but has little of The Prodigy's talent. Even so, he should have enough to consign Georgieff to the scrapheap...

After the 1^st round that went as billed, Georgieff finds a counter striking game to even the fight score going into the last...

And does enough to get the decision 29-28 on two cards, and 30-27 on the other. Georgieff keeps his job!

Andre Galvao, 26, Sao Jose, Brazil, 1-0 v. Gregor Gracie, 23, New York, 2-1
(Blurcat: Galvao via submission)

Although Gracie has the pedigree name, Galvao looks to be the superior jiu jitsu fighter, and we could see the ignomy of a Gracie tapping out...

The first two rounds see a Gracie dominating by tecnhical striking, and doing everything possible to keep the fight from going to the ground! The 3^rd finally sees Galvao get the takedown, but he doesn't have enough time to work anything – Gracie wins 29-28 twice and 30-27

Matt 'No Regard' Arroyo, 26, Tampa, 3-0 v. 'The Farm Boy' Eli Harris, 20, Boise, Idaho, 0-0
(Blurcat: Harris via KO)

Arroyo is a limited fighter, but it so happens that his area of relative strength is the rookies main weakness. The question is will he get a chance to try a submission before Harris finishes the fight?

A great 1^st sees Harris win the striking battle as expected and show excellent takedown defence until the very end of the round: a tough one to score. The 2^nd and 3^rd are much more clear cut, and Harris gets his first win with a unanimous 30-27 decision.

Dan Cramer, 23, Connecticut, 0-0 v. Sinali Shomen, 19, Nagoya, Japan, 2-1
(Blurcat: Shomen via submission)

Cramer is a striker, pure and simple, while Shomen has decent jiu-jitsu skills, and this could be the difference in the fight...

Shomen dominates the 1^st, and probably just edges a drab 2^nd. The 3^rd is more like the opener, and the Japanese fighter wins on all three cards: 29-28 on one, and 30-27 twice.
