Lightweight Grand Prix Final Bout (155-pound limit)

Eddie Alvarez vs. Toby Imada

Round one: Fight time! Both fighters take to the center of the cage and Alvarez quickly becomes the aggressor. Imada tries to land a knee in the clinch but it's ineffective. They are both now locked against the cage -- Alvarez sneaks in some nice body shots en route to a thundering takedown. Back to their feet. Alvarez presses him against the cage and the pair jockey for position. Alvarez stays busy with more body shots, but Imada turns the tide suddenly with a trip. They get back to their feet again and Alvarez presses him against the cage ... once again. Imada creates distance and lands a kick to the leg. Alvarez lands a stiff left, while Imada misses with a looping right. They are now slugging it out in the center of the cage. Nothing significant lands for either fighter and the round ends with Imada in the process of securing a takedown, which he never finished.

Round two: Alvarez storms out of the gates to start round two and drops Imada with a huge shot. He follows it up with another as Imada crashes to the floor. Imada does his best to survive, but he's clearly hurt bad. Alvarez is now in full mount dishing out punishment. Imada has no choice but to roll and give up his back. Alvarez takes advantage of the situation and quickly throws in the hooks and locks in a fight-ending rear naked choke. Alvarez' family, as well as the crowd, leaps from their seats in celebration.

Final result: Eddie Alvarez defeats Toby Imada via submission (rear naked choke) in round two

MIddleweight Grand Prix Final Bout (185-pound limit)

Hector Lombard vs. Jared Hess

Round one: Finally ... some tournament action! Lombard is the clear favorite and looks the part. The former Olympian is built like a brick shit house and has insane MMA skills to boot. Good luck, Mr. Hess. Here we go! Hess keeps his distance in the early going, throwing some weak jabs and low kicks. Lombard pounces and nails a powerful takedown 30 seconds into the action. He's now on top trying to soften up his opponent, but he can't hold him down for long -- Hess makes his way to his feet rather quickly. Hess works Lombard against the cage, angling for a takedown but no dice. Hess throws a few leg kicks, but nothing serious during a lull in the action. Lombard suddenly drops Hess to his knees with a clean right hook, but he somehow recovers. He comes on strong to try and finish but Hess does a great job of surviving and battling back. Strangely enough, he looks more comfortable now than he has all fight -- perhaps all he needed was to get blasted to get into this thing.

Round two: Lombard comes out aggressive, looking to finish the fight. Hess keeps him at bay. Hess apparently is the recipient of an inadvertent eye poke and the action is stopped. Action starts back up less than a minute later -- Hess appears fine ... for now. His left eye is almost shut, which has little or nothing to do with the poke. Hess pulls guard in the stand up once the fight resumes rather than getting stalked. He's not doing much from the bottom position with Lombard in his full guard. Lombard isn't doing much, either. Now he starts landing some punches but nothing serious. The referee stands them up. Hess hits a nice little straight right and then a left kick to the body. His confidence appears to be growing. He goes for a takedown as the final seconds tick down to end the round, but Lombard defends.

Round three: Both fighters feel each other out in the early going before Lombard closes the distance and hits a nice trip that sends the pair crashing to the canvas. Hess covers up as Lombard tries to pound his skull into bits. It was apparently very effective -- Hess is GUSHING blood. It looks like a murder seen on the canvas. The referee stops the action so the ringside physician can check the carnage. The action is restarted; however, it is quickly stopped again as Hess is covered in red. It's a bad cut to say the least. He pleads his case to the physician again, and, once again, the physician gives him the green light to continue. On the restart, Lombard goes for the takedown right away to finish what he started -- his back is covered in blood from Hess' cut. He lands in side control, but Hess does a fine job of avoiding further damage. Lombard is now in North-South position but isn't doing much with it. Hess gets to his feet briefly and attempts a trip, which doesn't work against the seasoned Judoka. Round ends with Lombard on Hess's back. The crowd gets loud more than likely giving Hess much-deserved credit for refusing to quit.

Round four: Hess' blood flow appears to be stemmed for now -- the corner did a nice job of cleaning him up. Lomabard drills him with a nice shot early and then nails a takedown. Blood is now flowing. The crowd chants "Hector," encouraging the Cuban to finish the fight. During a brief lull in the action, the referee stops the action so the physician can once again check Hess' cut. On his way in, you can see the physician saying, "Enough already." One minute later the fight is stopped. Lombard takes home the win, but Hess did everything in his power to survive. It just wasn't enough.

Final result:Hector Lombard defeats Jared Hess via technical knockout (cut) in round three

Non Tournament Action:

Jorge Masvidal vs. Eric Reynolds (160-pound limit)

Round one: Nice fight here between two fighters bounced from the lightweight tournament, including Masvidal who was an early favorite. He looks extremely confident this evening ... let's see if it's for good reason. Here we go! Both fighters exchange weak jabs to start the action and Masvidal lands a nice shot quickly thereafter. Reynolds misses with a flying knee and Masvidal takes him to the ground. He lets him get back to his feet for some reason and lands a knee on his way up. Masvidal lands another nice shot but nothing serious. He's peppering Reynolds with jabs. Reynolds fires back. Masvidal's body language indicates that he may feel like he's too good for Reynolds. Masvidal begins to heat it up with some nice strikes that are finding their marks ... maybe he's right. Reynolds backs Masvidal into the corner with some kicks and tries a crazy spinning kick, which fails. Masvidal drills him as the round ends and the two exchange words before heading back to their corners.

Round two: Second frame begins with Masvidal working the jab, going for the clinch and trying to hit the takedown. He unleashes a flurry of punches while Reynolds is on the ground and the crowd erupts. Reynolds escapes, but eats some shots in the process. He attempts a spinning backfist, but Masvidal eventually gets him back on the ground, He's working his ground and pound and Martin throws up a triangle that barely misses. Masvidal now gets to his feet while Reynolds is on the ground. He follows him back to the mat only to let him up and start drilling him with hellish knees and accurate punches. Reynolds is hurt. The crowd is going nuts. Great action. Masvidal gets it back to the mat and goes for what appears to be a tight side choke, but Reynolds survives. Masvidal ends up in full mount, dropping bombs. Reynolds is eventually able to get to a knee, but Masvidal is draped around his neck. Round ends just like that.

Round three: Reynolds needs this round and comes out guns blazing, barely missing with a nice overhand right. Reynolds swings wildly and Masvidal is able to take him to the canvas. Masvidal is in side mount limited by a choke that Reynolds has secured ... for now. Masvidal breaks free and gets in full mount. This could be trouble for Reynolds. Reynolds bucks and gives up his back. Masvidal softens him up with some shots and is looking to sink in the hooks. He settles for a body triangle and sinks in the choke. It's deep. Real deep. Reynolds taps before taking a snooze. Solid fight. Reynolds showed heart, but the confident Masvidal was just way too much to handle.

Final result: Jorge Masvidal defeats Eric Reynolds via submission (rear naked choke) in round three

Josh Martin vs. Sergio Morais (170-pound limit)

Round one: Morais is clearly the crowd favorite. Both fighters touch gloves ... and here we go. Morais goes for the single, but Martin isn't having it. Morais is now trying to take him down from behind still with no luck. Martin finally breaks free. Back in the center of the cage. Morais misses -- barely -- with a spinning backfist. He goes for another single and gets this one, ending up in Martin's full guard. Morais now raining down punches, but Martin is doing a good job of keeping him at bay. But Morais secures full mount eventually and Martin is in trouble. Martin is doing a decent job of avoiding major damage, rolling to try and reverse and he does. There's just one problem: He rolls into a tight Morais triangle. He tries to break free, but it's too tight. Morais takes a win back to Brazil ... and almost a neck.

Final result: Sergio Morais defeats Josh Martin via submission (triangle choke) in round one

Rosi Sexton vs Valerie Coolbaugh (120-pound limit)

Round one: Coolbaugh comes out glowing. Rosi is not so rosey -- she means business. Rosie immediately goes for the clinch and presses Coolbaugh against the cage, working for and getting the takedown. Rosi now works the ground and pound and easily transitions to side control. She's now in full mount, battering Coolbaugh's temples. Coolbaugh gives up her back to avoid the punishment and Rosi immediately works for the rear naked choke. Back to full mount. Coolbaugh somehow reverses, but ends up in omoplata. She escapes, but Rosi is once again in side mount dishing it out. Rosi goes for an armbar and nails it. Coolbaugh taps to avoid snappage. Game over.

Final result: Rosi Sexton defeats Valerie Coolbaugh via submission (armbar) in round one
