Justin McNally vs. Chris Gutierrez

Photo: Keith Mills/Sherdog.com

Gutierrez worked McNally to the body
and the head for the stoppage.
McNally drives in on a double-leg takedown but Gutierrez easily defends it. McNally rams him into the fence, looking to inside trip his foe, but Gutierrez uses a whizzer to toss him over his hip and wind up on top in half guard. McNally turns and seeks a heel hook, but is quickly shut down. McNally is able to slide his back up the fence and stand, but not before eating a few punches from Gutierrez. McNally keeps pursuing a takedown, but lacks the explosion to close the distance on the rangy Texan. The Cincinnati native wades into the clinch and takes a stiff left knee to the body, followed by another to the left eye socket.

He crumbles to the canvas and Gutierrez swarms with long, whipping ground-and-pound, forcing referee Don Turnage into action.

The Result

Chris Gutierrez def. Justin McNally via TKO (Knee to the Body and Punches) R1 2:50

Chris Jones vs. Brent Primus

Round 1

Photo: K. Mills/Sherdog.com

Primus rocked Jones with a grimey right
hand and didn't let up.
The southpaw Jones circles the perimeter of the cage, looking for low kicks until launching a left roundhouse kick up top. Primus blocks it and continues trudging forward, but he eats a jab. He thinks better of the standup, charging in on a double-leg and plopping Jones on his back. Jones upkicks furiously to keep Primus out of his guard and cracks him with a hard heel kick that seems to slow the man on top. Primus settles into guard and instantly goes to work with rights and lefts. If he was hurt from the upkick, he's quickly disregarded it, as the Sports Lab product unloads a torrent of heavy right hands.

Jones is toast by the fifth right hand, but Primus gets a couple more in before referee Kerry Hatley can rescue the Dallas fighter.

The Result

Brent Primus def. Chris Jones via TKO (Punches) R1 1:45

Matt Jones vs. Abdul Razak Alhassan

Round 1

Photo: K. Mills/Sherdog.com

Alhassan brutally turned Jones' lights off.
Alhassan comes out whipping hard low kicks, then launches a flying knee attempt. Jones tries for a single-leg takedown, but can't get Alhassan down. Worse, the native Ghanian spins off the cage and unloads with a flurry of punches. Jones is able to cover up from most of them, but Alhassan is throwing heat. Jones tries to regain his composure, taking the center of the cage probing with his lead hand, but Alhassan is relentless. He rakes away with sharp left and right hooks, smashing through Jones' high guard. Jones doesn't circle away, so Alhassan throws a right hook, then a right uppercut that splays Jones out on the mat.

Alhassan dives on top and hammers away while Jones half-consciously tries to roll forward into a desperation takedown. He keeps crushing him with punches under the armpit until his foe goes limp. Alhassan ends up calling an end to the fight himself, backing away from Jones, which finally prompts the intervention of referee Kerry Hatley.

The Result

Abdul Razak Alhassan def. Matt Jones via TKO (Punches) R1 1:23

Javy Ayala vs. Eric Prindle

Round 1

Ayala rushes Prindle and pushes his back into the fence, both men throwing knees to the body inside. They separate, Ayala cracks Prindle with an overhand right and gets in on a single. He manages to pull Prindle away from the fence, get him down and hop into side control. Ayala punches with both hands as Prindle tries to kick him away. Ayala bases down and settles in half guard and continues chipping away with short punches and elbows, passing back to side control. He figure-fours Prindle's right arm and looks for a keylock, but can't lock the muscular heavyweight's arm up. When the 10-second clapper sounds, Ayala smashes away with a salvo of right hands to punctuate the round.

Round 2

Ayala busted up Prindle something serious.
The two heavyweights touch gloves to begin the round and Ayala takes the center of the cage. Ayala shoots and takes Prindle down less than 25 seconds into the frame. Prindle is trying to push off the cage while Ayala lands short punches and knees to the body from side control. Ayala continues to fire off right hands and now he's trying to isolate Prindle's arm, but the American Soldier escapes and they're back up. Ayala gets another relatively easy takedown and now he's in half guard halfway through the period. Ayala steps over into side control with little resistance from Prindle.

Ayala gets full mount and peppers Prindle with short lefts. Ayala postures up and lands some methodical punches. Prindle isn't doing much to escape from the bottom as Ayala traps Prindle's right wrist from side control while dropping left hands. Ayala concludes the frame dropping more punches from side control.

Tristen Critchfield scores the round 10-9 Ayala

Round 3

Prindle's face is cut and badly swollen around the eyes as the third round starts, prompting a quick check from the ringside physician. Ayala starts the final frame with a cracking overhand right, but throws it so hard he slips in front of Prindle, who can't capitalize. The Porterville, Calif., native shoots another single-leg takedown, but Prindle is able to sprawl and get back to his feet this time. Prindle throws a pair of hooks, Ayala ducks under and this time his single is successful. Ayala shucks Prindle's legs by again, moving right into side mount and going to work in the same fashion as the first two rounds. Prindle is exhausted but so is Ayala, so the Californian just keeps plodding away and threatening the keylock. Referee Kerry Hatley calls for time and Prindle is wincing through his swollen right eye. He tells Hatley, “He poked me,” and then gets another visit with the ringside doctor. The doctor gives Prindle a vision test, holding up three fingers. Prindle struggles to answer and the doc chuckles to Hatley, “I don't think he can see.” Hatley then waves the fight on the doctor's event.

Sherdog Scores

The Result

Javy Ayala def. Eric Prindle via TKO (Doctor Stoppage) R3 2:05

Cortez Coleman vs. Daniel Miller

Round 1

Miller clips Coleman with a right cross as he's advancing, but Coleman returns moments later with a short left hook that trips Miller up a bit. The middleweights clinch and drive into the cage, pummelling for underhooks. Miller tries to change levels and narrowly avoids a big right uppercut from Coleman. Miller runs forward into another takedown attempt and this time he does eat a short right from Coleman before falling to the butt scoot. Miller regains his feet, approaches Coleman, then desperately tries to pull guard. Miller tries again in the same vein and fails and as Coleman turns his back and walks away, Miller jumps up and runs him into the fence. “The Crazy Cowboy” stuffs it, then beats Miller to the mat with short punches. The Fort Worth, Texas, native falls to his back and holds onto half guard. Coleman face cranks Miller and passes into mount for a moment before Miller regains half guard. Miller has absolutely no offense to speak of at this point. Coleman keeps the pressure on with a crossface and lands short right hands. Coleman tries to go for an arm-triangle choke but is nowhere near it. However, Miller rolls and nearly gives up his back. Coleman uses a half nelson to keep him on the mat and keeps smashing away. Coleman gets a top crucifix for a moment and lands a stream of punches before the bell.

Round 2

Miller was no match for Coleman.
Miller reaches at Coleman with his arms out and eats a right uppercut for his troubles. Miller awkwardly flicks his jab out and walks into a left hand this time. Miller circles the outside sheepishly, sticking his left arm out and praying for a takedown. He tries to pull guard again and winds up getting hammered by Coleman and conceding half guard again. Coleman slowly tries to free himself from half guard while grinding with right elbows on Miller. Coleman looks like he's going to pass to full mount, but passes to side all the way on the farside, then gets another top crucifix, but can't land many shots before Miller wriggles free.

Miller turns his back again and once more Coleman uses the half nelson to reaffirm top position and the Oklahoma native gets to full mount with 45 seconds to work. Coleman postures up and tries to punch through Miller's guard. Miller turns his back and Coleman smashes away with right hands on his trapped and outmatched opponent. Under heavy fire, Miller tells referee Don Turnage he wants out and the referee obliges him.

The Result

Season 10 Heavyweight Tournament:

Round 1

Hale trudges forward cautiously on the stocky southpaw, who circles around the cage. Hale attacks with a right hand, Ivanov fires back and initiates an over-under clinch. For 90 seconds, they jockey for position, thumping one another with body shots and knees until Ivanov separates and cracks Hale with a left hook. Ivanov clinches up again and tries to foot sweep Hale to the mat, but can't connect. They separate again and Ivanov cracks Hale with a pair of good hooks. He follows up with a right hook that stumbles the Arizonian up, but Ivanov doesn't push the issue.

Hale gets to the turtle position, but Ivanov grabs a guillotine and runs him into the cage. Ivanov controls Hale with the front headlock while peppering him with more punches. Hale gets to his feet and is raked by three more hooks before escaping to safety. After the near finish, the pace slows considerably in the second half of the round. Both heavyweights load up with wild overhands that sail wide. With 20 seconds to spare in the round, Ivanov lands two pawing left hooks.

Round 3

The Bulgarian finally gets double underhooks but can't get the takedown, instead opting to crack Hale with another left hook. He fires another but can't get to Hale, who clinches. Ivanov finally tackles “Rare Breed” to the mat, but nearly gets his back taken. He shakes the bloodied Hale over the top and winds up on top in full guard. The exhausted Ivanov tries to score with left hands and hammerfists but can't do real damage to the battered Hale. Hale seeks to tie up Ivanov's arms, but can't do a great job of that at this point. With 1:40 to fight, referee Dan Miragliotta stands them up. Hale tries to rush Ivanov, but Ivanov simply clinches then disengages after catching a breath. The final 30 seconds tick down with Ivanov cautiously circling away from Hale, who hasn't got the ability to swing for the fences.

The spindly Russian continues to land knees before switching to short left-handed punches. As Volkov continues to unload with short shots, Holota looks like he wants absolutely no part of this fight and just crumples to the canvas. Now on top, Volkov tees off with a barrage of unanswered left hands. Holata turns over and appears to have nothing less to offer, so referee Jason Herzog is forced to intervene.

The Result

Alexander Volkov def. Mark Holota via TKO (Punches) R1 1:21

Round 1

Photo: K. Mills/Sherdog.com

Johnson uncorked on Martinez.
Johnson begins by exploring the range with his left jab, but Martinez marches him back with a right hand. Martinez flurries and drives into a body lock, pressing Johnson's back to the cage. Johnson turns him around but Martinez pulls off a nifty lateral drop and claims half guard. Martinez crossfaces Johnson hard and grinds his forearm into his face. Martinez flurries for a moment but can't land with real substance. Sensing Martinez is tired, Johnson backs him down with the long jab and heavy shots behind it. Martinez gets sloppy in pursuit of ground and pound and Johnson shrimps away, getting back to his feet.

Martinez walks himself back to the fence and the UFC and Strikforce veteran unloads on him with both hands. A right hook to the body bends Martinez over, a right uppercut rocks him worse and a left hook puts him down on the mat. Johnson dives and follows up with right hands and referee Dan Miragliotta is all over it.

The Result

Lavar Johnson def. Ryan Martinez via TKO (Punches) R1 4:22

Bellator Bantamweight Championship: Eduardo Dantas vs. Anthony Leone

Round 1

Dantas switches stances while stalking Leone, checking him with a front kick. Dantas tries a few jabs before whipping a right kick that Leone catches. Leone tries to use his free hand to flurry on Dantas, but misses nearly every punch. Nonetheless, Leone powers through and gets the takedown into full guard. Dantas works an active guard and looks for a pair of armbars, but the active Leone keeps moving and stays out of danger. Dantas throws hammerfists from the bottom while keeping his guard open, moving to butterfly hooks and looking to attack Leone from the bottom. Leone keeps swimming through Dantas' arms and staying out of danger but can't muster much offense himself. With a minute to go in the round, Leone finally starts to land short punches and elbows while slowing Dantas' guard. Leone lands a good sharp left elbow before the bell.

Round 2

Photo: K. Mills/Sherdog.com

Dantas pulled off an amazing submission.
Both fighters more active with their jabs as round two begins, but it remains a controlled pace. Dantas edges forward until Leone attempts a punch rush and circles out. Dantas finally lands a glancing left hook and attempts to follow with a flying knee. Leone drives for a takedown and the champion defends capably and circles off the fence. Dantas rips a body kick, then a low kick, but as he throws the latter, Leone throws a left hook and knocks him off balance. Leone doubles his wide right hook and hits nothing but air.

Dantas isn't landing the hardest strikes, but he is effectively keeping Leone on the outside. Leone throws a jab and a wild spinning back fist that hit the air. A right hand and shot follow, but Dantas shows incredible flexibility in limplegging out of a high single, then spins out of the follow-up. He continues to spin out of Leone's desperate attempts at his legs, as referee Jason Herzog warns him not to grab the fence. Leone tries to grab his ankle, and Dantas steps backwards over Leone's body and drops right into back mount with Leone's left arm trapped -- an absolutely breathtaking transition. A likely shellshocked Leone instantly gives up the rear-naked choke and is forced to tap. Incredible submission victory by the Bellator bantamweight champion.

The Result

Eduardo Dantas def. Anthony Leone via Submission (Rear-Naked Choke) R2 2:04
