170 lbs.: Jason Witt vs. Philip Rowe
Round 1: Low kick from Witt to start. Good little blitz. Rowe falls short with a lead right. Witt shoots a minute in and completes the double-leg near the fence. On top in half guard. Rowe works his way up against the fence, gets tripped right back down. Two minutes in. Staying heavy, not a ton of damage so far. Rowe regains guard. Two minutes to go.
Rowe keeping his guard closed, not offering much off of his back. One minute to go. Witt just throwing the occasional short punch. Rowe manages to pop up and separate in the last 20 seconds, then catch Witt with a 2-3. 10-9 Witt.
Round 2: Witt continuing to push forward, backs Rowe to the fence and shoots. Rowe just has zero cage awareness. Witt drags him down once again. One minute in. Rowe stuck on his seat. Now he makes it up and separates. Long left hook from Witt. Two minutes in. Rowe backs him to the fence in return, then crumples him with a vicious three-punch combo. A couple more coffin nails on the ground and there’s the finish.
Final result: Rowe def. Witt by TKO (punches)
125 lbs.: Malcolm Gordon vs. Denys Bondar
Round 1: Trading jabs early. Solid right hand from Gordon. Big combination stings Bondar and prompts a reactive shot that puts him on top in guard. Gordon looking for a triangle, goes from an armbar into a scramble a minute in. Bondar makes it back up and falls victim to an uchi mata; as he tries to post and get up, his left arm visibly snaps, prompting a scream and some taps. Oof.
Final result: Gordon def. Bondar by submission (arm injury)
