Brendan Kornberger vs. Krasimir Mladenov

Round 1: OK fellas, if you think I'm typing out Mladenov and Kornberger as the action happens, you're sorely mistaken. Lad in black, Korn in the black and red, Tognoni is the ref. Bas is in rare, completely untenable form tonight. Korn walks into a counter with his hands zombie-like. Lad's nickname is "The Wrestler" and he lives up to it with a quick takedown. Riding time for the Bulgarian as he's got back control. Korn stands, but Lad smashes a couple of hammerfists in. Korn up, Lad takes him down. Korn up, Lad with a nice hip toss now. Side control and a good punch to the body. Korn starts to scramble, north-south position. Korn with some nice dirty boxing and stuff's Lad's takedown this time. They exchange rights and Lad backs off. Front kick from Korn. Lazy leg kick from Korn and he gets taken down off it. Full guard.

10-9 Mladenov

Round 2: Hard to see with the mini screen as we have to listen to some backstage schlub interrupt the fight with some backstage fluffery. We're back to full screen and Korn is being bullied down as he went straight back. Lad in side control, now half, nor Korn getting to his feet and trying to punch and knee Lad. Lad with the takedown yet again and he's on the back. Couple of punches from Wrestler. Korn up. Nice short right from Lad. Korn looking the fresher fighter here. Another lazy kick and another big takedown. Lad has shown zero top control so far and it holds up here, too as Korn is right back to standing. Outside leg kick from Lad. Korn seems to suffer from the old Rashad Evans syndrome, in that he has good movement when they're in free motion, but as he goes to strike, he keeps his head straight and doesn't quite seem to know what to do with the rest of his body. They stare awkwardly at each other as the round ends.

10-9 Mladenov

Round 3: Uppercut lands for Korn. 90 seconds in and Lad thunks in a left hand. They clinch and Korn stuff's the toss attempt of Lad. Lad shoots from way outside into a single and manages to ankle pick Korn. Full guard. Korn tossing some soft lobs from the bottom and Lad answers with a heavy left.

Morales backing up, Hansen punches into a single leg and gets the takedown barely a minute in. Morales with a high full guard. Hansen tried for a slam, but fails - still gets it back to the ground. Huge elbow from Hansen and Morales is leaking early. Armbar attempt from Rudy fails. This prompts a Bas recollection of Kevin Randleman whaling on him. Also Bas with the Monty Python references. A bit more and Winslow pauses it to let the doctor look at the cut. The doc allows it, and they're back standing. Not for long as Hansen is back on top after a quick takedown. Side control. Hansen threatening an arm triangle with 30 seconds left.

10-8 Hansen

Round 2: Morales with a nice jump knee as Hansen came in for a takedown. Solid strike, but Hansen gets the takedown regardless.

We're paused to a standstill here, but Winslow seems content to let Bryson work. Morales with some short punches from the bottom. Snoozefest here. Morales finally gets to a knee... gets up with just under 20 seconds... and that's the round.

Round 1: Cella in blue, Davis in black, our ref is Steve Mazzagatti. Davis with a nice right hand to start.

Finally, Davis manages to clasp his hands together and pick up Cella for the takedown. Full guard. Cella with some elbows from the bottom. There's some GNP from Davis, but Maz has gone into JUST BLEED mode and stands them up. They're kicking and punching like solid kickpunchers are wont to do, and go after it until the round ends.

10-9 Davis

Round 2: Davis mixing up his leg, body and head work well to open up here.... Well. Davis pushed Cella to the ground and then rushed in with a soccer kick. Cella appears to be OK, but Maz takes a point and rightfully so. Nice leg kick from Cella. Davis with a pair of 1-2 combos. Nice takedown from Davis and he's in full guard. DDJR with a couple of punches before Cella regains posture control. Elbows and left hands rain down from the Nevadan. Half guard. Cella looking for a kimura, but it doesn't appear to be there. 30 seconds to go, Davis postures up when the clapper sounds and gets in solid punches before the bell ends the frame.

9-9 Davis

Round 3: Bas can't do basic arithmetic, but what else is new? Cella whiffs on a bunch of strikes. Davis with the takedown about a minute in. Full guard. It's an open guard, but Davis isn't looking to pass. Maz is tired of it and stands them up with about 2:50 on the clock. Cella punches in, but it leads to a clinch, which isn't helping him. Davis reverses and fights for a single.... and gets it. 1:40 to go. Not much happening. Davis with a left, but whatever. Davis with a flurry at the end.
