By the second, Curtis, got a little busier, but he still wasn’t able to get inside on the taller Hermansson, who added good movement to his size advantages. Midway through the round, Hermansson stunned Curtis momentarily and “The Joker” went on the attack as the Ohio native covered up, but the “Action-Man” shook off the blows and got off the fence.

In the third, Hermansson continued to stay a step ahead of Curtis, who did get some shots in down the stretch, but not enough to turn the fight around. | Official Scorecards

Pimblett went on the attack as the bout began, and Leavitt responded with a takedown that the Liverpool product rose from immediately. Leavitt kept his opponent locked up until delivering a slam in the second minute, and Pimblett responded with a guillotine choke attempt. That didn’t end the fight, but the two did rise briefly, with Pimblett trying again. As the fighters got back to their feet, Leavitt remained in control against the fence before putting the fight on the mat with 1:25 to go. The pair scrambled upward, and in the final minute, it was another Pimblett choke attempt followed by some strikes as he took Leavitt’s back.

Leavitt tried to implement his grappling attack again in the second round, but Pimblett defended well before going on the offensive with a choke attempt and a knee. He then took Leavitt’s back and locked in the rear naked choke that ended matters at 2:46 of the second stanza.

Pimblett moves to 19-3 with the win. Leavitt falls to 10-2. | Official Scorecards

Gustafsson got clipped and dropped in the opening seconds of the bout, and while he still seemed dazed as he rose, a quick clinch appeared to settle him down.

With the win, the No.11-ranked Krylov moves to 28-9. Gustafsson falls to 18-8. | Official Scorecards

After a fast-paced start on the feet, Goldy tried to slow McCann down with her grappling attack, but when “Meatball Molly” broke free, she let loose with her strikes, attempting to mimic her March win over Luana Carolina, and while the spinning elbow didn’t end the fight, it did stun Goldy and open her up for a barrage of strikes that brought referee Herb Dean to stop the fight at 3:52 of the opening frame.

With the win, McCann moves to 13-4. Goldy falls to 6-3. | Official Scorecards

Craig tried to drag Oezdemir to the mat in the early going, nearly locking up a leg as he got his foe down. Oezdemir was now forced to defend, and he did so effectively, finding his way upright in the second minute. Craig didn’t let him stay on his feet for long, and he worked from his back to secure a submission, but again, Oezdemir eluded trouble and returned to his feet, where he looked to have some success, but it was unclear if his strikes were hurting Craig or if the Scotland native was playing possum.

In the second, Craig showed off his standup attack as Oezdemir calmly fired back to stay busy, and in the third, Oezdemir rattled Craig in the first minute of round three. But after landing a couple hard shots on his grounded foe, Oezdemir let him up in order to avoid a submission attempt. Craig did pull the fight to the mat in the second minute, but only briefly, and it was Oezedmir who stuck to his guns and kept it standing for the rest of the bout. | Official Scorecards

In the opening minute of round two, Klein dropped Jones with a punch upstairs, and while the Welshman recovered quickly, he remained grounded for a spell, and then locked up against the fence when the two stood. Once separated, Jones landed some good strikes, but a missed hip throw allowed Klein to avoid a trip to the mat.

Jones tried to make a statement early in the third as he tried a jumping submission, but he missed and wound up on his back. Klein was fine with this, as he controlled the action from the top position until the pair rose with a minute left. | Official Scorecards

It took less than 30 seconds for Diakiese to take Hadzovic down, and he kept him there for the remainder of the round, and the pattern continued in the second stanza, with Hadzovic unable to garner any offense. Even when Hadzovic did get upright, Diakiese stayed locked on before dragging the bout back to the mat. A clash of heads with a minute left bloodied Hadzovic and brought a stoppage to the action by referee Herb Dean, but after the Octagonside physician cleared him, it was back to the fight, which didn’t get better for Hadzovic, who was grounded and kept on the mat for the third round, as well. | Official Scorecards

Wood stung Rosa with a right hand early on, and he was looking good on the feet in his new weight class. In the second minute, a calf kick floored Rosa briefly, and when the American got back to his feet, he was having issues dealing with Wood’s speed and work rate, and with the calf kicks still coming, that was another problem for “Boston Strong,” who did get a respite when he scored a takedown in the final minute and nearly locked in a choke with seconds to go.

Keeping it standing in the second, Wood pecked and poked at Rosa with a variety of strikes, clearly securing the round, against the gritty Rosa, who was still looking for a way to turn things around. That opportunity didn’t come in the third, despite his best efforts, and Wood had a successful 145-pound debut for his London fans. | Official Scorecards

Amirkhani (17-8) went all-in for the takedown in the opening minute, and while he ate a series of elbows and got bloodied, he remained committed, getting his foe to the mat. Pearce (13-4) stayed busy, but Amirkhani was relentless as he looked for a submission. With two minutes left, the two separated and rose, spending a bit of time standing before Amirkhani looked to bring the fight back to the mat, and the two battled there until the horn.

“Mr. Finland” scored well with his strikes early in the second, prompting a takedown by Pearce, who fired off punches and knees on his foe until the pair rose. They returned to the mat, Pearce in control with his strikes as he attempted to close the show, and at 4:10 of round two, he did, with referee Dan Movahedi halting the bout. | Official Scorecards

Mokaev pressed the action immediately, suplexing Johnson a minute into the fight. Johnson rose immediately, but “The Punisher” remained locked on, controlling the action while throwing in the occasional trip to the mat while on his opponent’s back.

There was more of the same from Mokaev in round two, with him finally grounding Johnson for an extended spell with two minutes to go. Johnson continued to defend well, but Mokaev was piling up the control time, and he continued to do so through the rest of the fight, allowing him to extend his unbeaten run. | Official Scorecards

Herbert rebounded in the second, getting off to a good start in the first two minutes before Nelson halted his momentum with some more clinch work. After a minute against the fence, Herbert got loose and worked at close range before opening things up from range.

Herbert defended a takedown attempt from Nelson well early in the third, landing himself in top position. The Brit kept him grounded for much of the round, with Nelson getting up and trying to rally in the closing minute. | Official Scorecards

There was more of the same back and forth action in the second, but this time, Bohm was able to find more daylight for her standup game, and she seemed to hurt Leonardo with body shots late, but the Louisianan used her grappling to recover and get through the round.

In the third, both fighters continued to battle on fairly even terms, with a late third-round takedown by Leonardo serving her well on the final scorecards. | Official Scorecards

Dalby tried to go on the attack to start the second stanza, only to be grounded by Silva once more, but with a little over three minutes to go, “Danish Dynamite” reversed position, got in some ground strikes, and once he rose to his feet, it was clear that the Brazilian was winded, opening the door for Dalby to turn up the heat.

In the third, Dalby opened with his own takedown, a dangerous spot to be in with grappling wizard Silva, and soon, the Brazilian got into the top position, but Dalby fought well from his back with an omoplata attempt, and he held on for the victory. | Official Scorecards
