Vitor Vianna (11-1-1) vs. Sam Alvey (15-2)
================================== 

Round One

Sam Alvey enters the arena with a HUGE SMILE on his face. He makes his way to the cage.  Plants a kiss on his fiance and walk into the cage.

Vitor Vianna comes to the cage very serious.  He walks into on some hardcore pumping DMX music. His gets the vaseline applied to his face and steps into the cage.

They square off,  just feeling each other out. Nice body kick by Vitor. Vitor is orthodox and Alvey Southpaw. Alvey throws nice leg kick. But they are just trying to gauge the distance right now. Nice body kick by Alvey.  Another nice kick by Alvey. Straight left by Alvey.  He seems to have found his rhythm. Another kick by Alvey, Vitor responds with body kick.  Another lick kick by Alvey and another. Nice head kick by Vitor but is block.  Another nice leg kick by Vitor. Alvey seems to have left the legs for what reason I’m not sure.  Now Alvey’s back with the kick.  He got 2 in, in a row. Vitor closes the distances puts Alvey’s back on the cage and is trying to get him down.

Rount One 10-9,  Sam Alvey

Round Two

They touch gloves. And Alvey starts off with strong leg kick. Tries to send a straight left down the pipe and another. Alvey connects with another leg kick. Vitor REALLY needs to pick up the pace here.  Nice straight left / leg kick combo by Alvey. Vitor closes distance and clinches. Not Alvey’s back is on the cage as Vitor is working for the takedown.  Nice knee by Alvey.  Vitor changes levels after eating a bad tasting knee to the gut and takes Alvey down.  It seems like the end is near but Alvey escapes and gets to his feet.  Vitor is draped over him like a scarf and  is trying to get him back down. Alvey creates separation and now they are back in the middle of cage.  With 1 minute left, Alvey is losing this round.  Alvey throws another straight left.  Alvey misses with a right hook at Vitor kicks. Vitor closes distance then takes Alvey’s back and has his back!!!! His has both hooks in and Alveys is on his hands and feet trying to shake him off!! Round ends!1

Round Two 10-9, Vitor Vianna

Round Three

This is crucial. I have it tied up. Alvey needs to go back to the leg kicks.  Vitor controls the range and then controls the distance. He shoots and clinches. He’s trying to get his back standing again. Oh my gosh! He’s behind him. Unbelievable. Alvey fights and squares back up. They are still clinched and then for some odd reason Vitor back out and lets Alvey go. What the hell?!?!?!?!?!

Nice leg kick by Alvey.  Vitor closes the distance with a nice level change shot and then gets behind Alvey. Then for some reason he lets go again.  Alvey has started kicking again. There’s 1 minute left and Alvey is now getting caught with punches and Vitor changes levels again and close distance and then lets go again.  They exchange and Alvey is getting the better of the exchange and then right as the bell sound Vitor puts a hook right on his chin and Sam Alvey does the “stanky leg” and the round is over.

Round Three 10-9 Vitor Vianna

Alexander Shlemenko vs. Zelg Galesic
=============================== 

Round One

Galesic comes to the cage deedie-bopping to Vanilla Ice’s “Ice Ice Baby.”  Good selection!  He steps in the cage and now Alexander Shlemenko is on his way.  Shlemenko has a “Fedor Emelianenko” type of serious look on his face.

Hell, I’m not even fighting and I’m a little bit nervous. LOL.

Shlemenko a southpaw take Galesic down. Galesic delivers a powerful upkick to Alexander’s face. Alexander gets hit with another upkick and lets Galesic up.  I’m not sure why Shlemenko went for the takedown. He only has 4 or 5 submission wins.  Shlemenko closes distance and delivers nice short shots.  Works the head with pressure and catches Galesic in a guillotine. He locks it in tight. DONSKIES!!!!!!

Submission win – SHLEMENKO!!!

 Brian Rogers vs. Victor O’Donnell
============================= 

Round One

They touch gloves. Rogers hits nice inside leg kick then a knee while clinching.  Victor’s back is on the cage Rogers is working the knees. I’m having a problem typing. I know Rogers personally and I’m nervous like a hooker in church. Victor thorws nice head kick and Rogers blocks.

I can’t even tell you what Rogers did I gotta see the replay. He just unleashed a can of whup ass!! Goodness gracious!! Okay I see it on the replay. A right head kick to the dome followed by a 3 piece with no biscuits and no sides. LOL.

This fight was sweet.

 Bryan Baker (15-2) vs. Jared Hess (11-2-1)
====================== 

After some lengthy promos, we are ready to go.  Bryan Baker looks like he is game and Hess looks very relaxed. Baker crawls into the cage.

Round One

The fighters square off.  both are orthodox. Hess is throwing bombs and now clinches. Hess is looking for the takedown and almost secures it. He gets Baker’s back. HAS BOTH HOOKS IN!! Sinks in the choke but Baker gets out. AMAZING! They are standing and Baker gives Hess a knee. The scramble and Hess end up on his back in the upside down guard and eats punches.  They are back on their feet. Hess comes in and eats a strong knee. He attempts to clinch and Baker catches him in a front choke/guillotine.  Hess is trying to get out. He slips out and is in side control, but Bryan is still holding on to his head.  Bryan lets go and scrambles out and gets to his feet. Hess get his back, Baker hits a standing switch and then secures another front choke / guillotine.  Baker got in on the chokes really nice but Hess was resilient.

Round One Baker (10-9)

Round Two

Hess tries for a sloppy takedown and misses. Baker is working the jab to get the distance and delivers a kick.  Hess shoots again from very far out. He’s in a wrestling front headlock again.  Hess does a nice sit out / boot scoot movement to get out front headlock but scrambles right into an armbar.  He gets out and then Baker goes right back to the head.  Baker is doing a good job staying on the head.  He works his way to Hess’s back and tries to secure the choke but is too “high” on the back. So Baker stay active delivering soft punches just to score. Now Baker has one hook in and is basically doing a nice folkstyle wrestling ride. Hess stand s up but Baker is still on his back  and is tight around Hess’s waist. Hess breaks away and now they are in the center of the ring.  Hess throws a right but eats a right uppercut.  They clinched and Baker secured the takedown and got Hess’s back again. 1o seconds left……. time runs out.

Round Two Baker (10-9)

Round Three

Baker is not messing around and clinches right away and gains control. Hess seems to be fatigued and ready to quit.  Baker takes his back on the ground without hooks in and punches. And then gets in the one hook and proceeds to “ride legs”  and deliver left hands to Hess’s dome.  Baker gets the other hook in and stretches Hess out and now he’s delivering right hands to Hess’s face. Hess defends by rolling to his side and the Baker stops punching and stretches him out again.  Refs stops the abuse.  Hess was looking for a soft spot to lie down.

Ref stoppage at 2:52 in Round Three
