The penultimate bout featured a couple of Californians. The 2003 K-1 USA Champion Carter Williams made his return to mixed martial arts after a less-than-perfect year, with a fight against veteran Wrestler Tom "The Green Beret" Howard.
Howard got off to an aggressive start, and had Williams on his back in no time. The groundwork was sloppy, though, and when the two settled Howard got into a dangerous full mount, but fortunately for Williams he was able to twist round and out and get in on Howard's guard. Williams arched upwards, pressed Howard against the cage, and threw in a half dozen rights. The punches connected, leaving Howard badly bloodied and unresponsive when the referee stepped in to stop the fight.
