Jr MW Title Shot Eliminator
Samuel 'The Animal' Russo, 22, Huntsville, Ontario, 1-0 v. Adam 'Hollywood' White, 21, Los Angeles, 1-0
Blurcat: White via decision

Code:

Russo:		12.08	UFN	beat Rob Yundt			decision

White:		12.08	UFN	beat Tyler Lass			TKO R2

As above I have high hopes for 'Hollywood' White, and he should advance to a title shot as he appears to be superior to Russo in every department.

Russo actually takes white down in the first, but like Tuck Durdell earlier, White rolls through to get on top – this is bad news for The Animal, as White dishes out some vicious ground & pound. The second is much closer however, and could be scored either way.

Round 3
Russo starts off by throwing two excellent low kicks to the leading leg of White. Those will accumulate fast and give White some problems moving. Russo switches it up and throws a big right hand, missing. White, who has been overwhelmed for the first thirty seconds of this round, steps in and throws a bomb of a right hand...and it connects! Russo goes down from the first strike that White has thrown since the round began! White doesn't dive in, instead taking his time. Russo recovered well from the punch, and remains seated on the floor, ready to defend. White throws a pair of kicks to the legs, then gets in closer, looking for a way to get past the guard. Another kick to the legs precedes him trying to swiftly get past the legs, but it is to no avail as Russo is able to pull guard, just, that was close. Russo has the guard held very high. White throws a big right hand, but almost puts himself right into a triangle as a result, and he is forced to fight free. Russo throws a punch and it lands right above the nose. White throws four massive punches as a response, threatening to try and knock Russo right through the canvas, Russo is forced to simply cover up and try to survive. White is controlling the round from this position, although it has to be said that he hasn't yet truly looked like he can stop the match from here. Russo moves to butterfly guard and then tries to scramble back up, but White stops that by throwing another set of big punches, forcing Russo to go back to the full guard. The round ends with them still like that, with White having totally controlled the round from the guard. The third round is over. Blurcat.com gives that one to White by 10-9. Adam White wins the match, getting a score of 30-27 from all three judges.

Another dominating performance from Adam 'Hollywood' White.

'The Warrior' Dokouhtei Kuroki, 36, Osaka, 13-9 v. Dan 'The Perfectionist' Halvorsen, 36, Chicago, 22-12-2
Blurcat: Halvorsen via TKO

Code:

Kuroki:		Belts Held:	ALPHA MW:   2006, 1 defence
		12.08	UFN	lost to Jerezo			decision

Halvorsen:	Belts Held:	GAMMA MW:   2005-6, 1 defence
		12.08	UFN	lost to Jorge Hermazabal	TKO R1

Two veteran wrestlers, both ex-champs and both looking to rebound after opening losses. Halvorsen looks to have the edge.

Somewhat surprisingly, the first is a striking battle, and Halvorsen wins it, leaving the Japanese fighter with some nasty swelling around his eyes. The second sees Halvorsen dominate Kuroki, again all while standing, and surely The Warrior has to try taking this fight to ground to win?

Round 3
Two jabs from the left hand of Halvorsen set up a hard waist-high kick, but Kuroki steps back to avoid it. Nice attempt though. Halvorsen moves in closer, bobbing and weaving, and looks to score with a looping right hand, but Kuroki uses the gloves to parry it away, then counter-strikes with a crisp jab and a kick to the knee. Good opening to the round, both fighters are looking lively. Halvorsen finds himself backed up against the cage briefly, and has to scramble to safety to avoid a flurry of strikes. Kuroki is working for position, and is currently looking the more composed of the two. Halvorsen forces Kuroki back against the cage and comes in close to try and unload. Kuroki pushes him away with a shove, palm across the face, and Halvorsen loses his balance and is dumped onto the ground. Kuroki leaps into action to follow up. Kuroki is firing off punches while kneeling across Halvorsen's upper body in a half-mount, and there's not a lot Halvorsen can do about it. He needs to get out of there, or at least pull guard, but can do neither as he can't get his hips free. Kuroki rains down the punches even faster, and Halvorsen is just getting pounded into oblivion; even though he managed to block three quarters of the shots coming in, that's still five or six good shots that have gotten through. Those five or six shots are enough for the referee at any rate, as he calls an end to the match, obviously feeling that Halvorsen was getting overwhelmed by that barrage. Kuroki wins via third round TKO at 2:10.

Nissen Osterneck, 28, Hawaii, 6-1 v. Jorge Santiago, 28, Rio de Janeiro, 20-8
Blurcat: Santiago via KO

Code:

Osterneck:	3.09	WEC39	beat Rob Kimmons		submission R2

Santiago:	12.08	UFC1	lost to Kazuo Misaki (8)	TKO R1

Osterneck is making his UFC debut tonight, and looks to have a tough match-up: Santiago has better jui-jitsu and better striking. The Hawaiian's only chance appears to be to land a strike that exposes Santiago's dodgy punch resistance.

Santiago wins the opening round through his striking, and also the second: Osterneck is struggling to get anything going at all here...

Round 3
Right hand from Osterneck was thrown with power, but bounced off the gloves of Santiago. Osterneck follows up by coming in close, but Santiago is ready with a straight right hand that glances off the side of the head. Osterneck comes in hard and fast, throwing a scorching right hand, but it's a long way wide and Santiago is able to clinch up. Osterneck hits a knee to the ribs, then a second. He goes to the well once too often though, as the third knee gets caught, and Santiago uses it for leverage to complete a takedown, ending up in Osterneck's guard. Santiago moves from the guard and gets side control. He is trying for the mount, but Osterneck is defending it. There's a small lull as Santiago continues to try and get the mount. There it is, Osterneck finally couldn't stop it. Santiago starts firing off punches, and Osterneck has nowhere to go. A big elbow gets through. A right hand lands on the nose of Osterneck. The referee is watching intently, I don't think he's going to let this go much longer unless Osterneck can come up with some answers. Santiago hits another big elbow. And another. The referee leaps in, it's over! The official time is 1:30.
