Scott Dingman vs. Aaron Simpson
Round 1
The fighters went to the clinch immediately in the bout. Simpson was able to score a trip directly into the mount after having a tight hold with underhooks. Dingman tried repeatedly to buck Simpson off, but he could not escape the position. Simpson pounded away from the mount with lefts and rights until referee Steve Mazzagatti stepped in to save Dingman at 2:40 of the opening period.
Ryan Murray vs. Bryan Humes
Round 1
Good action in the first stanza. Murray got off first with a stiff jab. Humes answered with a hard leg kick, which set the tempo of a decent kick boxing match through much of the round. Murray looks to have the crisper standup, but Humes is connecting harder. After Murray landed a grazing head kick, Humes scooped Murray off his feet and deposited him on the canvas, where he landed solid ground-and-pound for the rest of the round. Near the end of the frame, Humes hurt Murray with a left and a right. 10-9 for Humes.
Round 2
The fighters are tired after the fast-paced opening frame. Humes used his size advantage to pin Murray against the fencing for most of the round, while mixing in the occasional knee strike to the midsection. Murray offered a stiff low kick in return at times, but could not mount any offense. Hume landed a right hand before time expired. 10-9 Hume.
Round 3
Murray kept his distance as the third round got underway, but it wasn't long before Humes was back in the mix, throwing hard shots. A left uppercut on the chin followed by a right straight ended the bout at the 1:30 mark, as referee Yves Lavigne stepped in to halt the contest. Impressive show by Humes.
Angela Magana (Pictures) vs. Lynn Alvarez
Round 1
Magana and Alvarez went toe-to-toe early, with both fighters connecting often. Alvarez got a takedown and took side-control before transitioning to Magana's back, where she looked unsuccessfully for a rear-naked choke. Alvarez got free of the position and landed some strikes from the top. The fighters went back to their feet, where Alvarez landed two hard shots before the bell sounded to end a close round. 10-9 for Alvarez.
Round 2
Magana took the fight to the ground with a well executed trip takedown with underhooks. Alvarez swept Magana, but was immediately caught in a fight-ending armbar at 1:25 of the second.
Chad George (Pictures) vs. Rick Screeton
Round 1
Screeton missed two wild headkicks before pulling guard. George lifted Screeton into the air and slammed him down. Screeton then went for a gogplata, but George had none of it. Again, George picked Screeton up off the floor and slammed him down, but this time he went limp, forcing Mazzagatti to show mercy just 39 seconds into the fight after George followed up the slam with a few punches.
Chris Kennedy (Pictures) vs. Seth Baczynski (Pictures)
Round 1
Baczynski landed a crisp right cross that stunned Kennedy, and followed the punch with a tight guillotine attempt. Kennedy escaped the hold and waited for referee Herb Dean to break up the stalemate on the canvas. Baczynski then landed a right hand that floored Kennedy. Several follow up punches conntected to Kennedy's head as Dean waved off the bout at the 2:50 mark.
Kaitlin Young vs. Sara Schneider
Round 1
The ladies trade in the center of the cage but nothing lands solidly. Schneider scored a takedown and went for three armbars, but Young defended well and escaped danger every time. A scramble allowed Young to get back to her feet, where she blasted her opponent with a left kick to the head and a right hand. Schneider was hurt but survived and got another takedown. Young ended the round landing leather from Schneider's guard. 10-9 for Kaitlin Young.
Round 2
Young dropped Schneider with a straight left in the opening seconds of round two. Young, looking to finish her opponent, pounced with punches to her fallen opponent. Schneider again recovered quickly and slapped on an armbar from her guard. Young struggled but was forced to tap at the 0:35 mark of the second stanza.
Nick Thompson (Pictures) vs. John Troyer
Round 1
Thompson landed two hard left hands to get the main event started. Troyer retaliated with a beautiful slam takedown that seemed to break Thompson's nose on impact. Troyer took Thompson's back and worked for an armbar, but he escaped and took the top position. Thompson then teed off from the guard, returning the favor with lefts and rights that busted up Troyer's nose. Thompson stood up and dragged Troyer by his right foot to the center of the cage, where he continued to rain punches down from half-guard. Troyer gave up his back to avoid more punishment, and was stopped by a rear-naked choke at 3:46 of the first.
