Byrd initiates the glove-tap as the bell rings. Did they touch gloves? Slightly awkward patty-cake thing occurring. BAM!! Right hand out of nowhere from Nour, and he follows Byrd to the ground. The ref steps in and stops it. Byrd comes to his senses and puts up his dukes to the ref.  The ref is doing some sort of Jedi Mind trick, and successfully convinces him the fight is over, and that he is NOT the enemy. Awesome KO.

Alvorado wearing what appears to be basketball shorts. They're so long, I can't even see his knees. The round opens up with a whipping leg kick for Alvorado. Bertch, a blue-belt, wants none of it. Bertch takes him down, and does some ground and pound with Alvorado's guard. Alvorado throws up an armbar! It looks tight. Everyone is screaming in this place.

Round 2. More of the same. Wait, what?? Fox takes down Miller, and gets the back! He tried to tag Miller here. Miller escapes and gets side control. I'd hate to have all that weight on top of me...Americana attempt by Miller, who uses it to get mount, now working on an arm triangle! Round ends.

Round 3. Miller immediately tags Fox. Fox is hurt! He's staggering backwards, but Miller is too slow, and Fox recovers. A slick low-single by Fox who gets Miller's back.  But Miller escapes again, and ends the round in a smothering half-guard.  Its so rare to see a heavyweight shoot a low-single. Tim Miller wins by unanimous decision.

Jason Gomez vs Seth Schaffer (135 lbs)

Gomez and Schaffer standing across from one another as the announcer does his thing. Gomez looks like a smaller version of Nate Marquardt with red hair.  Holy cow--Schaffer looks unusually calm. The fight is starting. Schaffer coming out early with crisp Thai combos. Shots are landing. Knees to the gut, and Gomez is trying for a takedown. Schaffer denies him the mercy, and wraps his head in a thai clinch. Knees to the stomach again, and Gomez goes down with some punches. The ref stops the fight. Seth Schaffer wins by TKO in round 1.

Meese comes out looking extremely tentative. Corp storms in with a flurry a punches which mostly miss, secures a bodylock, and falls into a nice full mount. Corp unloads with a barrage of punches. Meese is defending his head, so most or all of these punches look to be hitting the arms of Meese. The ref is stopping it. What? Nick Corp wins by TKO (ref stoppage). The crowd is booing loudly.

Devontae Smith vs Jon Looft (155 lbs)

Smith is looking yoked. I mean the guy is all muscle. Looft comes out with the biggest train ever(20+ people). Kinda like the Gracie Train, but without the organization, as people are haphazardly in the order. Someone from the audience tries to join the train. Okay the fight is starting. Front kick by Smith knocks down Looft. He gets back to his feet, and both men are in a spinning bodylock takedown. Smith in Looft's open half guard trying to punch him in the face.

Great showing by Devontae Smith.

Travis Rivers vs JT Miller (185 lbs)

The match starts, and Miller gets a BIG slam into side-control. Rivers escapes to half guard, and is using the Lockdown to prevent getting punched in the face very hard. It's working so far.

Round 2. Same exact thing. Big slam, Rivers recovers to half guard.  Miller rolls him over and gets the back. Miller has Rivers in a body triangle, and is hand fighting for the choke. Rivers is defending decently. All of a sudden, Rivers looks around the auditorium. Hello Japan? A distant seizure? Whatever--Miller takes that neck and gets the choke. JT Miller wins by Rear Naked Choke.

Darryl Chajon vs Jacen Huss (195 lbs)

This fight is at a catchweight. Both men look a little thick and doughy. Chajon coming out southpaw. Both men starting to trade, feeling eachother's power. It's almost like slapboxing at some points. Huss with an open hand slap. You read that right. This is getting to be a dirty brawl. No real power here, just hands flying. Side kick by Huss. Chajon closes the round with a double against the fence. He's just stuck there, as if in time.

Round 2. Bruce Lee lead backfist by Huss! Is his right hand hurt maybe? A front kick to the pudgy gut of Chajon. Huss with another, um, open-hand-slap-thing. His peculiar striking bears an uncanny resemblence to girlfight videos I've watched on Youtube. His hand must be broken. Or, maybe he is a pimp... "Bitch please!" SLAP again.

Round 3. Chajon immediately clinches and holds Huss against the fence. Huss pimp-slaps Chajon again. Chajon yanks Huss down on his back. Huss going for a kimura attempt here. Huss abandons it to slap Chajon's ear. This fight was bizarre. Darryl Chajon wins by split decision.

Estabon Cordova vs Adam Bosley (155 lbs)

At 6'3" and 155 lbs, Cordova is one lanky dude. He comes out in a Muay Thai vest thingy, and he has a Batman logo tattooed on his stomach. I wonder if that's where your opponent's head is supposed to go when you get double-legged...oh wait...it is! Bosley takes Cordova down to the crowd's delight. Cordova working some rubber guard from the bottom. Wow--Omoplata attempt! It looks tight. The round ends. Cordova is bleeding on his face.

The crowd is pumped. Southpaw Poindexter quickly moving around. He throws a leg kick which is timed by Burdette and taken down. Burdette trying to hold him down, but Poindexter stands back up. Poindexter kicks as Burdette punches, kneeing Burdette in the head. A wild flurry. Then a swift knee to the groin by Poindexter. The ref missed it. Burdette taps his cup. They keep trading. Poindexter chases Burdette against the fence, and hits him with a high knee to the chin. The ref missed this one again, and the crowd is crying foul. Burdette looks wobbly now. Poindexter just teeing off! Burdette at the precipice of doom. BAM right hand by Burdette knocks down Poindexter, and he pounces on him! Great comback.

Round 2. Burdette still looks wobbled. Burdette takes him down. Most of the round is spent with Luke on top.
