After the first few minutes of back and forth action with both fighters landing, Amir started to take control and land a punch that had Blackburn wobbling and in danger. Blackburn was able to recover, but never able to gain control of the contest with Amir controlling the action and landing kicks at will, he walks away with a Unanimous decision win. ROADHOUSE!! (30-27, 30-27, 30-27)
Filthy Tom Lawlor and Aaron Simpson go for broke
Tom Lawlor mauled Aaron Simpson completely in the first round as he repeatedly anded punches on Simpson and wobbled him repeatedly. Simpson showed heart and a rock hard chin as he persevered through that round and came back in the next two to get the split decision win. The crowd booed heavily as they thought, as I did, that Lawlor deserved the nod. (29-28, 29-28, 29-28)
Hencho En Mexico gets tapped and snapped by Dunham
Efrain Escudero dominated Dunham in the first round landing hard shots and coming close to stopping the young pasty fighter. Dunham came back and won the second round and in the third caught Efrain in an arm bar and looks to have broken his arm before Efrain tapped. Someone's "O" had to go, and unfortunately for Efrain it was his.
Not so good stuff Maynard
The Stockton Homie bloodied "The Bully" but Maynard was able to control where the fight took place while trying to KO his TUF nemesis. Gray looked unimpressive in his victory and would be put through the meat grinder by BJ Penn if he should be the next in line. Gray was able to wobble the younger Diaz brother on a couple occasions and didn't want anything to do with Diaz's Jiu-Jitsu game. The judges rendered it a split decision win for Maynard. (29-28, 27-30, 29-28)
