Josh Labree and Nelson Laborn had a very lackluster first round. The round was spent with Laborn pressing Labree up against the cage working for a takedown.

He passed to mount with about twelve seconds left and started raining down punches. The ref warned and stopped the fight with a second left.

Halfway through Leuff landed a punch to the face of Kelly and was deducted a point. MMARecap scored it for Lueff 29-27 but the judges’ were actually split. All three scored it 29-27, but one scored it for Kelly which is hard to figure out how.

He started to land his punches instead of clinching before scoring a takedown. Once there Willard gave up his back and Alvarado was able to lock in a rear naked choke. Willard tried to fight his way out but Alvarado held the choke and Willard was forced to stop the fight.

He had Maglish rocked and then went for a takedown. He passed to mount and rained down multiple punches. As the round ended, Maglish gave up his back and Collatti was like a machine gun firing punch after punch. The doctor came in to check on Maglish as he was cut by his eye. He was cleared to fight, but then opted to not come out for the second round and thus Collatti was ruled the winner.
