CTC Sunday Night Fights 5: Winner vs. Sass

Sunday, Week 1, December 2013 in Ontario, Canada

MAIN EVENT

Lightweight: Andre Winner (14-7-1) vs. Paul Sass (14-2, 1-0 CTC)

Andre Winner has excellent technical kickboxing, though without one punch knockout power, he has decent takedown, and submission defense, but is known to struggle against high level wrestlers! Winner recently lost a two fight winning streak, when he dropped a Split Decision to Rob Sinclair! Paul Sass opened his CTC career in style, scoring with a rear naked choke submission victory late in the second round against Alex Ricci!

CO-MAIN EVENT

Heavyweight: Josh Barnett (33-7, 1-1 CTC) vs. Lavar Johnson (18-7, 1-0 CTC)

Josh Barnett opened the Heavyweight Title tournament as everyone expected, submitting Mike Russow late in the first round with an armbar, but he ended up getting upset in the semi-finals, as he dropped a decision to eventual Heavyweight Champion Philip De Fries! Lavar Johnson put in an impressive performance in his CTC debut, battling James Thompson into the fourth round before finally knocking him out in the main event of Sunday Night Fights 1!

UNDERCARD

Lightweight: Finals Of An 8-Man Tournament In The Lightweight Division: Winner Earns A Spot In The Season 2 Lightweight Tournament

Quarter-Final Match-Ups

Lightweight Quarter-Final: Simon Marini (9-4) vs. Chris Horodecki (18-4-1)

Simon Marini has decent wrestling, and ground game, but isn't much of a stand-up fighter! Marini is coming off a decision loss to Tim Chemelli! Chris Horodecki is a kickboxer, with technically proficient hands, and powerful kicks in his arsenal, he also has decent takedown, and submission defense! Horodecki is coming of a three (non-tournament) fight run with Bellator, earning a decision victory over Chris Saunders, fighting to a draw with Mike Corey, and is coming off a first round knock out loss to Mike Richman!

Lightweight Quarter-Final: Mark Holst (10-3) vs. Mike Sledzion (3-1, 1-0 CTC)

A kickboxer, Mark Holst has decent striking skills, but can be taken down, and has very little defense once he's on the ground! Since being released by the UFC after losing both his fights, by decision to John Gunderson, and by submission to Paul Sass, Holst has won two straight, and is coming off a second round submission victory over Stephane Lamarche! Mike Sledzion didn't look bad in his CTC debut, taking Kurt Southern down at will on his way to a unanimous decision victory!

Lightweight Quarter-Final: Alex Ricci (4-1, 0-1 CTC) vs. Graham Spencer (9-1)

Alex Ricci had trouble getting off any sort of offense in his CTC debut, though some excellent submission defense got him deep into the second round before he finally fell victim to a Rear Naked Choke from Paul Sass! Graham Spencer has a background in Judo going back to his childhood, and cross-trained to jiu jitsu later on, and has a stifling top game in MMA! Spencer is on a three fight winning streak, and is coming off a decision victory over Shane Nelson!

Lightweight Quarter-Final: Jesse Ronson (8-2) vs. Kurt Southern (10-4, 0-1 CTC)

A former WPKA kickboxing world champion, Ronson has transitioned to MMA. While Ronson likes to strike, he makes the most of his weak wrestling, with a developing submission game! Ronson is on a three fight winning streak, and is coming off a second round submission victory over Tony Hervey! Kurt Southern was taken down at will by Mike Sledzion, en route to a unanimous decision loss in his CTC debut!

Lightweight: Gesias Cavalcante (16-5-1, 2 NC) vs. Roger Huerta (21-7-1, 1 NC)

Gesias Cavalcante is a kickboxer, with strong hands, he has decent wrestling, that sets up his jiu jitsu game, headed by an excellent submission attack! Cavalcante is coming off a split decision loss to Isaac Vallie-Flagg! Roger Huerta is a strong wrestler, with excellent takedowns, and good positional grappling, and ground and pound! Huerta is on a four fight losing streak, and coming off a loss by knock out with a soccer kick to Zorobabel Moreira!

Lightweight: Eddie Alvarez (24-3) vs. Dustin Hazelett (12-7)

Eddie Alvarez was Bellator's first Lightweight Champion, he is an excellent striker with powerful hands, but also has good wrestling, and can work both ground and pound, and submissions on the ground! Alvarez is on a two fight winning streak since losing his Lightweight Championship to Michael Chandler, with a first round TKO over Shinya Aoki, and a first round knock out of Patricky Freire! Dustin Hazelett has been accused of being all flash and no substance on the ground, due to his explosive submission arsenal, but bad positional grappling! Dustin Hazelett was released by the UFC back in December 2010, after suffering consecutive losses to Paul Daley, Rick Story, and Mark Bocek, and has not fought MMA since!

Lightweight: J.J. Ambrose (20-4, 1 NC) vs. Marcus Davis (20-9, 1 NC)

J.J. Ambrose is a good kickboxer, but lacks power, his ground game is excellent, as he is very accurate with his ground and pound, and is dangerous with submissions. While Ambrose can also threaten submission from his back, his positioning, and escapes are sub par! Ambrose is on a three fight winning streak, and fought twice with Bellator this year before signing on with CTC, scoring a third round submission victory over Shamar Bailey, and a unanimous decision win over Toby Imada! A former boxer, Marcus Davis has good technical striking, but also has a strong ground game, including ground and pound, and submissions, however, his wrestling and takedowns are not great! Davis is coming off a no contest after he kneed Waachiim Spiritwolf in the groin!

Lightweight: Tyson Griffin (15-6) vs. Carlo Prater (30-12-1)

Tyson Griffin is a strong wrestler, with excellent clinch work, and good takedown, he has excellent ground defense, but few attacking options from the ground, he also has decent striking if the fight stays standing! Griffin's stay in the UFC was terminated after he lost four out of his last five fights, and is coming off a first round knock out loss to Bart Palaszewski! Carlo Prater has some decent striking, but has good submissions and submission defense on the ground, and is good from the bottom! Prater run in the UFC ended when he was released after losing back to back bouts against T.J. Grant, and Marcus LeVesseur!

Lightweight: Efrain Escudero (18-5) vs. Curt Warburton (12-3)

Efrain Escudero has good boxing to set up his wrestling, and strong takedowns, he has a good top game, and can work either ground and pound, or submissions! Escudero was released from the UFC after losing consecutive fights to Jacob Volkmann, and Mac Danzig!

Predictions

mmaaddict 55% (11 of 20) (Season Total: 64% (89 of 140))

Jingo (Season Total: 50% (105 of 210))

wekka (Season Total: 60% (48 of 80))

mistaken (Season Total: 55% (11 of 20))

Well it's time for the awarding of the Season 1 Prediction Prize!

With 64% predictions, mmaaddict is our best predictor of the first season!

mmaaddict may select one fighter to participate in one of our six Season 2 Tournaments, send me a private message with the Division of your choice out of these six, and I'll send you a list of fighters available to be picked:

Womens Lightweight

Womens Heavyweight

Bantamweight

Lightweight

Middleweight

Cruiserweight (235 lbs)

Note: With 15 competitors in each division (8 for the championship, and 7 for the tournament) already selected to participate, most of the top end of each division will not be available, your list of selections will likely be from the dregs of the division, and a couple decent veterans coming off a loss. Starting in Season 3 (when we go down to the standard one tournament in each division) there will likely be a better selection.

In the past (the one time I awarded a prediction prize in my other CTC diary set in the Cornellverse) I rewarded participation as much as accuracy, and since Jingo has far more total predictions than anyone else, and has been a constant predictor since the start of the season, I have decided to allow him to pick a fighter as well, just PM me the division of your choice Jingo, and I'll send you the list of available fighters in that division.

Note: This secondary prize will only be awarded in the case that another competitor has significantly (50+) more total predictions than the winner, and so will not be handed out every year.

Hope you will all continue following in Season 2! With title fights in all 12 divisions (possibly two at Light Heavyweight), it should get pretty interesting!

A Fantastic bout that headlined Bellator's Wednesday, Week 4, August 2013 fight card, Koreshkov tries to use his striking game to take out Askren, but as usual Askren's dominant ground game won the day, as he guillotined Koreshkov at 4:09 of Round 2 to retain the Bellator Welterweight Title!

Upset of the Year: Racheal Swatez defeats Seo Hee Ham (CTC)

In an entertaining back and forth fight, Rachael Swatez managed to do enough to convince the judges to award her a unanimous decision over highly touted Korean fighter Seo Hee Ham!

Canadian Tournament Combat 16: Season 2 Premiere

Friday, Week 1, January 2014 in Quebec, Canada

MAIN EVENT

CTC Heavyweight Title: Philip De Fries (12-3, 1 NC, 3-0 CTC) vs. Chris Tuchscherer (24-4, 3-0 CTC)

Philip De Fries comes off a Rise of the Year performance in CTC's first season, scoring a first round submission over Tim Hague to become an alternate, and entering the Championship Bracket due to a leave of absence by Sergei Kharitonov! De Fries then proceeded to take a decision from Josh Barnett in the Semi-Finals, and score a fifth round submission victory over Cole Konrad to become the first ever CTC Heavyweight Champion! The challenger, Chris Tuchscherer also had a good run, submitting Chris Barnett in the first round in the Quarter-Finals, knocking out Andrei Arlovski in the second round in the Semi-Finals, and scoring a first round TKO victory over Ruslan Magomedov to win the Season 1 Heavyweight Tournament Championship!

CO-MAIN EVENT

Middleweight Championship Quarter-Final: Thales Leites (21-4, 1-0 CTC) vs. Jason Miller (26-9, 1 NC, 2-0 CTC)

Thales Leites looked impressive on his return after a couple years out of the MMA game, submitting Mamed Khalidov late in the first round in his CTC debut! Jason Miller has done well for himself during CTC's first season, opening his CTC career with first round submission victories over Riki Fukuda, and Jack Marshman!

UNDERCARD

Middleweight Tournament Quarter-Final: Keith Jardine (17-12-2, 0-1 CTC) vs. Jason Day (21-12, 2-0 CTC)

While Keith Jardine looked impressive in his CTC debut, fighting tooth and nail into the third round, he was eventually knocked out with a head kick by Murilo Rua! Jason Day's powerful fists have led to a couple impressive victories in the CTC cage, a second round knockout of Tomasz Drwal, and a second round TKO victory over Dragan Tesanovic!

Middleweight Tournament Quarter-Final: Denis Kang (35-16-2, 2 NC, 1-0 CTC) vs. Jesse Bongfeldt (22-9-1, 1-1 CTC)

Denis Kang had no trouble with David Loiseau in their fight at Canada Day Clash 1, submitting Loiseau with a kneebar just 1:56 into their main event fight! Jesse Bongfeldt didn't have the start to his time with the CTC he might have liked, when he was knocked out in the third round by Kendall Grove at Canada Day Clash, but he bounced back, taking home Fight of the Night honours for his first round knock out victory over Todd Gouwenberg at CTC 8!

PRELIMINARY CARD

Middleweight Championship Quarter-Final: Murilo Rua (21-11-1, 1-0 CTC) vs. Kendall Grove (18-11, 1 NC, 1-0 cTC)

Murilo Rua looked really good in his return from retirement to fight in the CTC, waging an exciting war with Keith Jardine, before eventually knocking Jardine out with a head kick in the third round! Kendall Grove did well in his CTC debut, carrying most of the action in his fight with Jesse Bongfeldt, before knocking him out in the third round!

Middleweight Championship Quarter-Final: Danillo Villefort (14-4, 1-0 CTC) vs. Joe Doerksen (49-16, 1-0 CTC)

Danillo Villefort showed off his ground game in his CTC debut against Luiz Cane, allowing Cane to get off very little offense, and eventually slapping on a guillotine for the submission in the second round! Joe Doerksen's CTC debut sure didn't last long, as he quickly slapped a guillotine on Ivan Salaverry, submitting him just over three minutes into the first round!

Middleweight Championship Quarter-Final: Jake Rosholt (13-3, 1 NC, 1-0 CTC) vs. Mamed Khalidov (27-5-2, 1-1 CTC)

Jake Rosholt was dominant in his CTC debut, but couldn't find a way to finish, despite outstriking Luke Harris, taking him down on three of four attempts, and maintaining top control. He scored an easy Unanimous Decision victory! Mamed Khalidov didn't get the start to his CTC career he had hoped for, as he was submitted by Thales Leites late in the first round of his CTC debut, however, Khalidov would bounce back, taking a first round TKO victory over Bola Omoyele in his next fight!

Middleweight Tournament Quarter-Final: Riki Fukuda (19-8, 0-1 CTC) vs. Brett Cooper (22-8, 3-0 CTC)

Riki Fukuda controlled much of his fight with Jason Miller from the clinch, until Miller slapped on a standing guillotine, handing Fukuda the submission loss! Brett Cooper earned his spot in the tournament the hard way, winning three fights in one night to win the Canada Day Clash Middleweight Tournament with first round submission victories over John Salter in the Quarter-Finals, and Bola Omoyele in the Semi-Finals, and a fourth round submission victory over Dongi Yang in the Tournament Final!

Middleweight Tournament Quarter-Final: David Loiseau (21-11, 0-1 CTC) vs. Rumen Dimitrov (13-1-2)

David Loiseau had no answers for Denis Kang in their Main Event match-up at Canada Day Clash, as Kang submitted Loiseau in just 1:56, Loiseau has just returned from recovering from injuries sustained in that fight! Rumen Dimitrov fought twice for UCMMA in 2013, dropping a decision to Jason Tan, and taking a decision victory over John Phillips!

Middleweight Alternate: Jack Marshman (12-3, 1-2 CTC) vs. Svetoslav Savov (10-4, 1-1 CTC)

Jack Marshman didn't get the start he wanted to his CTC career, dropping a close fought Split Decision to Bola Omoyele in the Quarter-Finals of the Canada Day Clash Middleweight Tournament, and losing by first round submission to Jason Miller, but bounced back in his last fight, knocking out Nabil Khatib with a head kick in just 29 seconds! Svetoslav Savov also participated in the Canada Day Clash Middleweight Tournament, gaining a first round submission victory over Dragan Tesanovic, before dropping a Split Decision to Dongi Yang in the Semi-Finals!

Canadian Tournament Combat 17

Friday, Week 2, January 2014 in The Maritimes, Canada

MAIN EVENT

Womens Lightweight Championship Quarter-Final: Jessica Rakoczy (2-3, 1 NC, 1-0 CTC) vs. Naho Sugiyama (10-1)

Jessica Rakoczy did what she had to to win her CTC debut, a boring defensive striking match with Sally Krumdiack, that was mercifully brought to an end 45 seconds into the second round when Rakoczy knocked Krumdiack down, and pounded her out for the TKO victory! Naho Sugiyama is a newcomer to the CTC cage, but is considered one of the best fighters in the world at 105 lbs! She steps up to 125 to compete in the CTC! She fought twice last year with JEWELS, scoring a first round TKO victory over Fukuko Hamada, and a first round submission victory over Emi Fujino!

CO-MAIN EVENT

Womens Lightweight Championship Quarter-Final: Ayaka Hamasaki (9-0) vs. Tara Larosa (22-2, 1-0 CTC)

Ayaka Hamasaki is yet another newcomer to the CTC, another highly ranked Flyweight out of the Japanese promotion JEWELS, undefeated so far in her pro career! Hamasaki fought twice last year, picking up a second round submission victory over Yuko Oya, and a Unanimous Decision victory over Takaya Hashi! Tara Larosa looked good in her CTC debut, dominating Marianna Kheyfets for 4:17, before locking her in a kimura to pick up the submission victory!

UNDERCARD

Womens Lightweight Championship Quarter-Final: Carina Damm (18-6, 1-0 CTC) vs. Claudia Gadelha (8-0, 1-0 CTC)

Carina Damm had an exciting back and forth contest with Karla Benitez in her CTC debut, and though Damm was outstruck on the feet, her takedowns, and ground work were enough to gain her a Unanimous Decision victory! Claudia Gadelha didn't have too much trouble with Katja Kankaanpaa in her CTC debut, picking up the TKO victory late in the first round, after finally getting past Kankaanpaa's takedown defense!

Womens Lightweight Championship Quarter-Final: Joanne Calderwood (6-0, 1-0 CTC) vs. Kyoko Yakabayashi (13-4-1, 1-0 CTC)

Joanne Calderwood kept Felice Herrig's kickboxing game in check for most of their fight, while letting her own fists fly, outstriking Herrig on the feet to earn a Unanimous Decision victory in her CTC debut! Kyoko Takabayashi did well in her CTC debut, outstriking Barb Honchak on the feet, and taking her down at will, making the judges job easy in awarding Takabayashi with the Unanimous Decision victory!

PRELIMINARY CARD

Womens Lightweight Tournament Quarter-Final: Katja Kankaanpaa (6-1, 0-1 CTC) vs. Jessica Eye (9-2, 0-1 CTC)

Katja Kankaanpaa didn't look very good in her CTC debut, getting off almost no offense, before finally being taken down, and succumbing to Claudia Gadelha's ground game, taking the TKO loss late in the first round! Jessica Eye had an exciting back and forth fight in her CTC debut, with fellow kickboxer Sofia Bagherdai, but Bagherdai managed to do slightly more in the striking, sticking Eye with the Unanimous Decision loss!

Womens Lightweight Tournament Quarter-Final: Karla Benitez (6-3, 1 NC, 0-1 CTC) vs. Ashley Cummins (5-1, 2-0 CTC)

Karla Benitez had an exciting back and forth contest with Carina Damm in her CTC debut, but while Benitez won the fight on the feet, Damm did just enough with her ground game to secure the judges vote, sticking Benitez with a Unanimous Decision loss! Rising prospect Ashley Cummins looked good in her CTC debut, a first round TKO victory over Heather Clark, but had more trouble in her next fight with Mika Nagano, a boring contest fought in the clinch, in which Cummins did enough to secure the decision on two judges scorecards, picking up the Split Decision victory!

Womens Lightweight Tournament Quarter-Final: Emi Tomimatsu (7-5, 2-0 CTC) vs. Kyra Gracie (3-0, 3-0 CTC)

Emi Tomimatsu hasn't seemed to be very tested in her CTC career thusfar, gaining a TKO victory over Nicdali Rivera-Calanoc in just 2:56 in her CTC debut, and taking just 3:12 to gain the first round submission victory over Heather Clark! Kyra Gracie fought her way into the tournament the hard way, winning the Womens Lightweight Tournament at CTC Sunday Night Fights 1! She made her first two fights look easy, scoring first round submission victories over Sarah McLeod in the Quarter-Finals, and Lena Ovchynnikova in the Semi-Finals, before scoring the submission late in the third round over Lynn Alvarez in the tournament final!

Womens Lightweight Tournament Quarter-Final: Sofia Bagherdai (5-2, 1-0 CTC) vs. Valerie Letourneau (5-3, 1-0 CTC)

Sofia Bagherdai looked excellent in her CTC debut, outstriking Jessica Eye in a back and forth fight, to earn a Unanimous Decision victory! Valerie Letourneau controlled the pace of the fight, and outstruck Hanna Sillen in her CTC debut to gain the Unanimous Decision victory!

Womens Lightweight Alternate: Lena Ovchynnikova (9-3, 1-1 CTC) vs. Marianna Kheyfets (5-2, 0-1 CTC)

Lena Ovchynnikova had an excellent start to the CTC Sunday Night Fights 1 Womens Lightweight Tournament, gaining a first round submission over Michelle Waterson in the Quarter-Finals, but then was submitted in the first round by Kyra Gracie! Marianna Kheyfets had plenty of trouble with Tara Larosa in her CTC debut, and Larosa needed only 4:17 to gain the submission victory!

Womens Lightweight: Hanna Sillen (3-2, 0-1 CTC) vs. Lynn Alvarez (7-4, 2-1 CTC)

Hanna Sillen did not look good in her CTC debut, as she was outstruck by Valerie Letourneau, losing a Unanimous Decision! Lynn Alvarez had a great start to the Sunday Night Fights 1 Womens Lightweight Tournament, gaining a first round submission victory over Jocelyn Lybarger in the Quarter-Finals, a first round knock out victory over Megumi Morioka in the Semi-Finals, before taking a third round submission loss to Kyra Gracie in the tournament final!

Canadian Tournament Combat 18

Friday, Week 3, January 2014 in British Columbia, Canada

MAIN EVENT

Bantamweight Championship Quarter-Final: Antonio Banuelos (21-8, 1-0 CTC) vs. Miguel Angel Torres (40-6, 0-1 CTC)

Antonio Banuelos looked impressive in his first CTC fight, using superior striking, both on the feet, and on the ground, coupled with near perfect (7 of 8) takedown defense, to take a Unanimous Decision victory over Casey Olson! Miguel Angel Torres was the opposite of impressive in his first CTC bout, as despite having some control in the clinch, he got off almost no offense, and was dominated on the feet, taking a unanimous decision loss against Damacio Page!

CO-MAIN EVENT

Bantamweight Championship Quarter-Final: Damacio Page (16-8, 1-0 CTC) vs. Alexis Vila (11-3, 0-1 CTC)

While Damacio Page was controlled in the clinch for portions of his first CTC fight, he dominated on the feet, doing enough to take home a Unanimous Decision over Miguel Angel Torres! Alexis Vila had a period of control in his first CTC fight, but ended up trapped in a kneebar submission by Masakazu Imanari just past the six minute mark of the bout!

UNDERCARD

Bantamweight Championship Quarter-Final: John Fraser (11-3, 1-0 CTC) vs. Kenji Osawa (19-10-2, 1-0 CTC)

John Fraser was quick about taking care of his first CTC victory, taking down Adrian Wooley, and pounding him out for the TKO victory in just over five minutes! Kenji Osawa got more damage in on the feet, and took his opponent down at will in his first CTC bout, gaining a Unanimous Decision victory over Jeff Curran!

Bantamweight Championship Quarter-Final: Masakazu Imanari (26-11-2, 1-0 CTC) vs. Masakatsu Ueda (18-2-2, 1-0 CTC)

Masakazu Imanari looked pretty good in his first CTC bout, though he was controlled briefly in the clinch, he took home a first round kneebar submission victory over Alexis Vila! Masakatsu Ueda took only 5 minutes to take down Giorgio Andrews, take his back, and lock in the rear naked choke, taking home the submission victory in his first CTC fight!

PRELIMINARY CARD

Bantamweight Tournament Quarter-Final: Wilson Reis (16-4, 3-0 CTC) vs. Jeff Curran (33-16-1, 0-1 CTC)

Wilson Reis fought his way to a place in the Bantamweight Tournament by winning the Sunday Night Fights 2 Bantamweight Tournament, taking Unanimous Decisions over Rodolfo Marques in the Quarter-Finals, and Kyoji Horiguchi in the Semi-Finals, before scoring a first round submission victory over Shintaro Ishiwatari in the Tournament Final! Jeff Curran got in little offense, and was dominated both on the feet, and in the clinch in losing a Unanimous Decision to Kenji Osawa in his CTC debut!

Bantamweight Tournament Quarter-Final: LC Davis (17-4, 1-0 CTC) vs. Nick Denis (12-3, 1-0 CTC)

LC Davis had little trouble with former UFC fighter Walel Watson in his CTC debut, taking just over five minutes to knock Watson down with punches, and pound him out on the ground for the TKO victory! If you blinked you probably missed Nick Denis' first fight, as he took just over a minute to knock Ken Stone down, and pound him out with strikes for the TKO victory!

Bantamweight Tournament Quarter-Final: Aljamain Sterling (7-0, 1-0 CTC) vs. Cole Escovedo (17-10, 0-1 CTC)

Aljamain Sterling out worked Mike Reilly in his CTC debut, controlling in the clinch, and from top control, and getting in enough offense to earn a Unanaimous Decision victory! Cole Escovedo's first CTC fight was a hard fought contest that made the decision hard for the judges, but his opponent, Manny Tapia did enough to earn the victory on two of the judges scorecards, handing Escovedo a Split Decision loss!

Bantamweight Tournament Quarter-Final: Giorgio Andrews (8-1, 0-1 CTC) vs. Manny Tapia (12-4-1, 1-0 CTC)

Giorgio Andrews got in absolutely no offense, while being taken down, and passed all over by Masakatsu Ueda, before Ueda locked on the rear naked choke, handing Andrews a submission loss! Manny Tapia's first fight was a hard fought affair, where Tapia did just enough to be awarded the Split Decision victory!

Bantamweight Alternate Bout: Josh Hill (8-1, 1-1, CTC) vs. Ken Stone (11-5, 0-1 CTC)

Josh Hill started off well, in a dominating performance against Ryan Diaz, earning an easy Unanimous Decision in the Sunday Night Fights 2 Bantamweight Tournament, but lost in the Semi-Finals, being dominated in turn, and losing a decision to Shintaro Ishiwatari! Ken Stone would like to have his CTC debut fight back, as he was TKOed by Nick Denis in just over a minute!

Bantamweight: Casey Olson (14-5, 0-1 CTC) vs. Adrian Wooley (7-4, 0-1 CTC)

Aside from getting one takedown,and landing some ground and pound, Casey Olson was pretty much completely dominated in his first CTC fight, losing a Unanimous Decision to Antonio Banuelos! Adrian Wooley didn't get in any offense in his CTC debut against John Fraser, and was TKOed just under the six minute mark into the fight, taking the loss!
