Middleweight Division
Court "The Crusher" McGee (13-1) vs C.B "The Doberman" Dollaway (11-2)

Round 1: The first round was a showcase of each mans wrestling but neither allowed themselves to be taken down. Mcgee showed good poise as he was able to get Dollaway against the fence and he controlled much of the round. Mcgee also landed some very nice strikes that shook up Dollaway.

Round 2: Mcgee is showing his solid striking now. He is using leg kicks to keep Dollaway honest and it is clearly affecting him. Mcgee keeps trying to take Dallaway down but Dallaway is still holding on. Mcgee goes back to his strikes. He stuns C.B with a nice jab but his takedown is stuffed and it allows Dallaway to successfully take Court down. Still it probably isn't enough to win him the round.

Round 3: C.B is pressing Mcgee now but Court is showing good poise and not getting panicked. Dallaway comes in for a takedown but Mcgee has it timed perfectly and he blasts Dallaway with a vicious right cross sending him to the mat. Mcgee quickly gets into position to lock in an armbar and Dallaway is forced to tap!

Court Mcgee d. C.B Dallaway at 1:15 of the 3rd round (Submission - Armbar). The fight was rated as being decent.

Round 1: Kongo comes out looking to end the fight early and he nearly succeeds with a big left drops Nelson. Nelson gets into guard before Kongo can mount and Kongo smartly lets Nelson up. Nelson starts to attack but is rocked by a big right counter. He regains his wits and is able to get out of the round in one piece but Kongo clearly has the advantage.

Round 2: Kongo looks again for the kill shot and he rocks Nelson with another right but Big Country refuses to go down! Now Kongo is gassed and his punches are missing their mark. Nelson begins unloading with jabs and straight punches that have Kongo reeling. Kongo throws a wild right that Nelson ducks under and then explodes with a right cross that puts Kongo down. Nelson quickly locks in an armbar and Kongo is done!

Aldo quickly throws a combination that further injures Omigawa. A body kick sets Aldo up for a right hook that drops Omigawa. Omigawa shakes off the blow though and lays on his back hoping Aldo will go into his guard. Aldo smartly keeps away from upkicks and then with amazing speed dives in with vicious right hand that knocks Omigawa completely out!!
