The pace dipped slightly in the second, and while Sanders started strong, Colares ended the frame with a slam that was followed by him taking the back on the ground and nearly finishing the Tennessee product with strikes.

The two featherweights continued to wage war in gritty fashion in order to break the fight open in the third, with each having their moments until the judges rendered their verdict.

Michailidis was throwing bombs in the first round, and while Bhullar largely defended well, enough got in to give the Greece native an early lead. And with under two minutes to go, Michailidis took the fight to the mat and continued to stay in control for the rest of the round.

The Greek battler continued to outwork Bhullar over the final two rounds as well, and though Bhullar was never in any serious danger, he didn’t put together enough consistent offense to leave the Octagon with the victory.

Carolina rebounded with a solid second round that could have evened the fight on the scorecards, and though Botelho started out the third in control again on the feet, Carolina got the edge from the top position and made things interesting again as she fished for a rear naked choke in the closing stages of the bout.

Carolina missed weight for the bout at 128.5 pounds.

Brown looked for a takedown to kick off the final round, but Kamaka reversed position on the way to the mat and got into his foe’s guard. After a spell on the mat, the two rose and resumed their standup battle. Kamaka pushed Brown to the mat at the midway point and had a spell of control, but Brown got to his feet and landed some hard shots that were answered by Kamaka until a shot put the Hawaiian on the deck. Brown looked for the kimura again, but Kamaka got free just before the horn ended a fight to remember.

Stamann opened the second with his first takedown of the fight, but the two didn’t stay there long. While standing, Stamann’s straight shots landed until Dvalishvili got his own takedown in the second minute. After another standup sequence, Dvalishvili locked in a guillotine choke and pulled guard, but Stamann got loose and rose to his feet. A slam by Dvalishvili looked good for the scorecards, as did a throw in the closing minute of the frame.

Dvalishvili’s relentless work rate didn’t fade in the final round, and though Stamann had some of his best moments on the ground in the frame, this was the Georgian’s fight.

Jotko took an early lead in the first round, but once Strickland got into a rhythm where he was able to get in the role of aggressor, he began to land some flush shots on the Poland native that had Jotko on the defensive and throwing some flashy strikes in an attempt to counter.

The next two frames followed a similar pattern, with Strickland calmly pecking and poking at Jotko with his strikes, and while Jotko had his moments, his offense wasn’t consistent enough to turn the fight in his favor.

As the bout opened, Swanson did his best to close the distance to keep Chikadze from getting his kicks off, but the Georgian soon found his range and landed a flush left kick to the liver. Swanson fell to the mat and tried to grab a leg, but Chikadze eluded the comeback attempt and landed a series of ground strikes until referee Jason Herzog stopped the fight at 1:03 of the opening frame.

With the win, the No.14-ranked Chikadze moves to 13-2. The No.15-ranked Swanson falls to 27-12.

Bloodied after taking several hard shots, Reyes didn’t back down in the second round, and just when it seemed like Prochazka was going to pull away, Reyes drilled him with return fire that kept “Denisa” honest. Midway through the round, Reyes hurt Prochazka with a left hand, prompting a takedown attempt that nearly ended the fight when Reyes caught him in a guillotine choke. Prochazka escaped and landed some ground strikes before the two rose, and this time, Prochazka wouldn’t be denied, as he pursued Reyes and landed a right elbow followed by a spinning left elbow that put Reyes down and out, with referee Herb Dean halting the bout at 4:29 of round two.
