Okami looks good – let’s hope he brings it!

Round One
They come out active and each throw a few short kicks and jabs. Boetsch connects but Okami counters and connects. Boetsch is throwing strikes with bad intentions…he means business. Okami is quick to defend but his counters are short and not really effective. He keeps throwing single punches that connect but don’t really cause any damage. Boetsch keeps throwing some nice strong body kicks followed by a jab. Okami connects and looks dazed for a second.

Okami throws a super quick head kick and definitely tags Boetsch. He looks a little out of it as Okami continues to connect with short head strikes. I think Okami broke Boetsch’s nose with a straight jab. He shakes his head and touches his nose. Oh, and there’s blood. Totally broken. Boetsch throws a wicked hook and connects. Okami totally felt that.

Round Two
Boetsch is a gamer – he comes out sharp but Okami throws more jabs and connects with a wicked knee to the body. That had to hurt!

Okami pushes Boetsch against the cage and kind of holds him there. He’s not really doing anything. He is trying to take Boetsch down and he get snagged in a guillotine! Boetsch seems to have that pretty deep but he doesn’t have full guard. Okami pulls out of it and is now on top of Boetsch. Boetsch looks beat – his arms have to be tired after that submission attempt.

Okami attacks with short strikes from half guard. Okami starts to move into mount but Boetsch deflects. Okami is trying an kimora – he might get this…

Okami let go of the submission and now he is just pounding Boetsch from the mount. Okami connects with bombs from the mount but the round ends. Boetsch survives.

Round Three
The come out strong and active right away. Boetsch connects with bombs – uppercut after uppercut, head kicks and more uppercuts! OMG! He knocks Okami out after like 8 full on strikes to the face! That was SICK. Okami sure can take some punishment but Boetsch just kept connecting with those strong uppercuts. Awesome fight!!

Results: Obv. Tim Boetsch by TKO in Round 3. That was amazing!

Ok, so what’s up with Palaszewski’s hair? Is that a Vans logo?

Hioki looks ripped up and calm as hell.

Round One
They come out pretty aggressive. Hioki tags Palaszewski, but he just shakes it off. They go through more feeling-out and Hioki keeps throwing out straight front kicks like jabs.

Hioki takes Palaszewski down, though he is kind of in a guillotine. Hioki ends up on top in side control and just keeps pounding on Palaszewski’s head. Hioki tries for a mounted crucifix but really just ends up punching and elbowing him in the head. Hioki swings around for a wicked arm bar but Palascewski gets out of it somehow!

Hioki ends up on top in full guard and continues pounding Palascewski’s head. He keeps connecting – hammer fists looks so painful. Hioki is just dominating Palascewski – controlling him and definitely inflicting damage.

Round Two
They both come out a little slower this round but still very active. Palascewski throws a few sharp leg kicks but Hioki avoids them. Hioki was tagged by a nice jab and continues circling.

Palascewski’s striking looks good – he’s throwing some really big shots. Hioki throws some nice jabs and connects, but Palascewski counters with some great combos. Hioki throws a sweet high roundhouse kick but misses.

Hioki throws a bit of a low blow but Palascewski recovers. Then Palascewski hits Hioki with a low blow. The round ends in a scramble.

Round Three
Palascewski comes out aggressive and they go to the clinch against the cage. Hioki throws Palascewski down to the mat and gets him into almost side control. Hioki stays active and throws short punches to Palascewski’s head. Hioki throws some wicked elbows to Palascewski’s head and face. Brutal!

Hioki gets him in side control and then takes Palascewski’s back. He gets both hooks in and works for the rear naked choke. Palascewski defends well and starts to get to his feet. Hioki gets a body triangle on Palascewski and pulls him back on the ground. Hioki is still working for the rear naked choke but the round ends and Palascewski survives.

Results: Judges’ decision! What a fight! Hioki wins by unanimous decision. What an excellent fight – Hioki was so active throwing straight kicks, roundhouse kicks, fast jabs and nice takedowns. He tried so hard for the rear naked choke, but Palascewski did a great job defending.

Lauzon looks like he put on some more mass, which I think is great for him. He’s talented and that extra strength should help him get to the next level.

Pettis looks pumped! I love watching this guy fight.

Round One
They come out pretty active. Pettis goes for a strong kick early but Lauzon blocks it. That had to hurt though. Both fighters striking looks sharp and they are throwing a lot of combinations.

Lauzon is controlling the octagon until OMG Pettis knocks Lauzon out with a fast-as-lightning head kick! Holy crap that was fast! Lauzon is out cold before he hits the ground. Wow.

Result: Pettis wins by KO in 1 min 21 sec. WOW!
