Winner: Edwards

Round One
Should You Watch
Rustam Khabilov vs. Chris Wade – Lightweight
What Happened
- Lotsa wrestling in the first.
- Second saw Wade land a huge kick that murdered dead Rustam. Rustam somehow recovered, almost took Wadd down, then came close on a triangle. It was great.
- Rustam ended R3 on top after a TD.
- Third has Rustam doing what he does: relentless TD, GnP non stop, quicksand like death.
Winner: Rustam, dec.
Should You Watch
Given that I fell asleep earlier, this actually didn’t put me to sleep. Rustam has a style that isn’t flashy but overall the fight worked. Essentially R2.
I’ll be back to finish this all later. Sorry to the four people who are vigorously watching and NEED my opinion on this ASAP.

Germaine de Randamie vs. Anna Elmose – Women’s Bantamweight
What Happened

Winner: de Randamie, KO
Should You Watch
Absolutely!!!
Albert Tumenov vs. Gunnar Nelson – Welterweight
