Contender Fight #1
buffaloblue def. smcdonald5 by Submission (85-74)
You can add another submission victory for
buffaloblue (19-5)
who now has 6 submission wins in a row. Just like the preview stated,
smcdonald5 (4-4-1)
had his hands full. The first round buffaloblue controlled most of the round in the stand-up as smcdonald5 couldn't gauge the proper distance to get off any of his own shots. Finally two minutes in the second round, smcdonald5 was able to land a nice combination that resulted in buffaloblue falling back and eventually dropping to guard. When the round ended smcdonald5 was still in top position and wondering if he should scrap the original plan to keep the fight standing and try taking down buffaloblue in the third. With his corner's advise smcdonald5 came out faked a overhand right and shot in. This time though buffaloblue sprawled, locked in a standing guillotine and pulled guard. It was very deep already buffaloblue sealed it by torquing with everything he had left. smcdonald5 couldn't pull out, and tapped.

With a cut under his right eye in the first, pilqs managed to avoid getting hit there throughout the rest of the fight. Late in the third WarJorge sealed his win with a flying knee, followed up with four straight punches to the head that sent pilqs up against the cage where the fight ended.
The Undercard..
-J-1 Global loves battles, and the fight between
JonnyRico (9-9)
and
Strez (2-2)
was one of the best of the night. Strez won the first by taking down JonnyRico late in the first with a powerful slam that brought the crowd to its feet. The second round had the crowd on its feet once again when JonnyRico locked in a standing guillotine and had his opponent in deep trouble. The hold wasn't firmly under the chin and not wanting to gas out his arms and strength JonnyRico would let the hold go. The third was debatable as Strez took down JonnyRico twice but had to escape numerous submission attempts. One of the submission attempts by JonnyRico was an arm-in triangle choke that had saw the referee
