Mario Navarro vs. Anthony Bain
Round 1
Michigan's Bain clinches up and tries to throw Navarro, but botches the throw and winds up on his back. The Californian quickly gets to mount as Bain tries to bridge, exposing his back. Navarro gets the back, sinks his hooks and instantly looks for a rear-naked choke. He can't get his choking arm fully under the jaw of Bain. Bain is struggling as Navorro cranks on his chin, but he nearly escapes. Navarro establishes back mount, sinks the body triangle and goes to work working for the rear-naked choke again. He starts to come high over the back and Bain smartly turns into his guard. The suddenly-offensive Bain is all over Navorro with postured punches and elbows. Navarro swings for an armbar, but his foe extricates himself and goes back to work with more punches and elbows. Another armbar attempt, and more punishment from Navarro, who pounds away until the horn.

Navarro’s groundwork was nifty.
Navarro takes his time, underhooks the far arm, tightens his hips and forces to the tap. The Huntington Beach, Calif., native earns the submission win at 3:18 of the second frame.
Chad Coon vs. Shawn Bunch
Round 1
No surprise: it takes the former U.S. national wrestling team member just five seconds to get Coon on the mat with a double-leg takedown. Coon looks for the armbar, but Bunch breaks free and unloads a salvo of right hands. Bunch slows his pace a moment, and referee Jason Herzog stands the pair up quickly. However, it is just seconds before Bunch trips Coon back to the mat and sets up in guard again. Bunch chips away idly while Coon underhooks his leg, trying for a high guard. For whatever reason, Jason Herzog stands the bantamweights up around. Bunch is tentative on the feet, bouncing with long strides in pursuit of the takedown. Coon tries to knee the advancing Bunch, and gets thrown to the mat for his trouble. Bunch tries to punch away as Coon overhooks his arms until the bell.

Round 2
Bunch closes the gap quickly and throws Coon to the mat again. Coon tries to tie the wrestling standout up, while Bunch thuds to the body with short rights. Bunch is starting to grind on Coon, breaking his grip and landing cleaner rights. However, the action slows to a crawl and Herzog is happy to stand the two up once more. Bunch lands a hard right hand behind a jab feint, ducks under and deposits his opponent on the canvas one more time. The Reed City, Mich., native is trapped on the bottom and his guard work seems futile. Neither he nor Bunch can seem to land a clean, hard strike from the bottom or top respectively. Coon overhooks Bunch’s arms until Herzog stands the pair up for a fourth time. No strikes land before the round’s end, although Coon slips throwing a kick at the bell.

Santana gets an immediate takedown and moves to full mount. Seguin gets half guard, but Santana continues to control the action before moving to full mount again. Santana briefly looks for an arm triangle but he lets it go. Santana is high in mount as he drops a few short punches on his opponent. The Brazilian continues to pound away while looking for an opening to set up an armbar. Seguin resists and is able to establish full guard. Santana lands a couple right hands from above, and now the two combatants are back up. Seguin doesn't land anything before Santana scores another easy takedown. He's looking for a heel hook, but Seguin is back to his feet after a scramble. They tie up against the cage as the round expires, with Seguin throwing a couple rights and an uppercut.

Davinney devastated van Buren in 15 ticks.
Round 1
Van Buren lands a two-punch combination early, but after missing with a wild low kick Davinney moves forward and drops him with a big left hand square on the jaw. Sensing the kill, the Detroit native Davinney pounces, dropping three more right hands on his fallen opponent before referee Todd Anderson steps in to halt the contest. The official time of the stoppage is 15 seconds for your winner by knockout, Terry Davinney.
Jeremy Czarnecki vs. Justin Houghton
Round 1
Czarnecki shoots almost immediately and is easily stuffed by Houghton. The Lansing, Mich., native again wings a bunch and comes barreling in for a takedown, but “J-Ho” easily sidesteps him. Czarnecki tries a left hook-spinning back fist combo that whizzes wide, and Houghton smacks him with a low kick for his trouble. Houghton steps a full two strides in and crushes the back of Czarnecki’s lead leg with a hard low kick. A spinning back kick from a seemingly desperate Czarnecki is nowhere near close. A hard low kick and two heavy jabs from Houghton follow, and then he stylishly limplegs out of another Czarnecki takedown attempt. Another spinning back kick from “The Czar” has him walking right into a left hook. Czarnecki throws a capoeira-style half moon kick and eats it, tumbling to the canvas for a moment while Houghton nonchalantly stares him down. Stiff jab from Houghton stings Czarnecki again before the bell.

Round 2
Houghton continues to advance patiently, pumping a solid jab, while Czarnecki runs away and throws sporadic, erratic kicks. When Czarnecki swipes with punches, he’s far outside the much rangier Houghton, who is able to potshot easily with his hands. Czarnecki takes a run at Houghton, who glances with an uppercut and straight while moving backwards. Czarnecki throws a push kick or some other leg attack nearly every time Houghton apparoaches, but can’t actually seem to make contact. Czarnecki rushes Houghton again, and Houghton simply backpedals and sidesteps his takedown attempt. A spinning back kick for Czarnecki finally lands, but Houghton responds with a body kick of his own. Czarnecki dives in with an overhand right that surprises “J-Ho”, freezing him up. He pounces immediately, windmilling with punches and landing a hard left cross as well before the horn.

Round 1
Schulz throws a body kick, but gets clipped by a Garcia hook counter. Schulz goes down but does a good job covering up and regaining his feet. He lands a jab, but Garcia is relentless with his punching, forcing Schulz back to the fence with long crosses. Garcia pushes his man into the fence and tries to dirty box, but Schulz turns him around, elevates him and slams him to the mat. He is quickly into side control and fakes going to mount before taking a top crucifix. As the Kalamazoo, Mich., fighter tries to escape, Schulz takes his back with both hooks in and over half the round still left to fight. Left hands and elbows from Schulz land.

Tony Hervey vs. Alexander Sarnavskiy
Round 1
Hervey throws a push kick to start and Sarnavskiy catches it, running him back into the cage. The Russian gets double underhooks and wrestles Hervey to the mat. Hervey tries to bridge to escape guard, but winds up just getting mounted. “Tiger” steps over Hervey’s head and immediately seeks a topside triangle. Hervey’s arm is trapped as well, so the Russian simply changes his plan and grabs the arm. He cranks it hard, but Hervey twists underneath, escapes and winds up on top for a moment. Sarnavskiy snakes up the fence immediately, however, and gets in on another takedown. He sucks Hervey’s legs out and sets up on top again. “Tiger” stands up, punching down on his foe before essentially falling into mount for a moment. Hervey escapes but is stuck on his back, eating punches from Sarnavskiy. The Russian continues to stand up out of the guard, diving back in with punches periodically until the bell.

Hervey continues to try to kick “Tiger” off of him, but can’t stop Sarnavskiy from raining down punches. The Russian takes mount for a third time as Hervey tries to push off of the fence with his feet. Hervey tries to guard his head from rights and lefts while continuously looking to bridge off of the fence. Sarnavskiy stays patient, throwing clean shots around Hervey’s guard and pulling him away from the fence. However, once Hervey is pulled away from the fence, he explodes and bridges free, getting back to his feet. Sarnavskiy tries to bull his way to another takedown in the clinch, but Hervey fights off the fence. Once at range, however, “Tiger” finds an easy double-leg takedown and sets up on top with 90 seconds left in the round. Hervey shrimps his way back to the fence, but it’s more ground-and-pound from Sarnavskiy until the bell.
