Jon Fitch vs. Marcelo Alfaya Results
Early in round one, Fitch landed a low kick. Then he pressed his opponent into the cage wall. Alfaya turned things around on him and netted a takedown- yep, I said that ALFAYA netted a takedown. Moments later, Alfaya took his back. And surprisingly, he had his opponent's arm caught in a figure four. Fitch got his arm out but the big man kept his position. Fitch got up some and slammed his adversary back into the canvas to no avail.
Eventually, just before the bell, Fitch escaped the position and got to his feet. Then came the bell.
Round one goes to Alfaya.
Round two started very different. Fitch took his opponent down quickly, evaded a leg lock attempt, and pounded on his adversary big time. But Alfaya turned him over for a moment and took his back, only to watch Fitch escape, get to his feet, and press him into the wall. From there came the knees. Then Alfaya turned him into the cage, where Fitch shirked multiple takedown attempts before the bigger fighter took him down again. Tried to take his back, and Fitch got up again. While on their feet, Fitch landed an uppercut. And then the two went at it, with Fitch connecting more, but Alfaya hitting harder.
That round was close.
The third round clearly went to Fitch. First, he beat his adversary up some on his feet with sheer quantity of strikes. Next, the former UFC fighter put Alfaya on his back and beat him up badly when there. And finally, after an Alfaya takedown, Fitch turned things over on him and beat him up a little bit more.
That second round, one that Alfaya controlled more of, but Fitch was more impressive with at the end, will decide things.

Justin Gaethje vs. Dan Lauzon (Gaethje wins by 2nd round TKO): These guys came to fight in a big time way. Gaethje hurt Lauzon with low kicks that literally dropped him to the ground in the first. That along with a huge body punch and a nice spinning back elbow netted him the initial stanza easily. In round two, Gaethje hurt his opponent to the legs again. After that, he went up top with a crazy right hand that ended things.
Trust me when I say that this kid is someone to watch- he hits like a truck.
Marlon Moraes vs. Carson Beebe (Moraes wins by TKO in round one): This was not a long fight, but it was an exciting one. Beebe literally charged Moraes, looking to take him down and/or throw lots of punches at him. Moraes shirked the takedowns and the two went at it. But Moraes landed a big time left hand during the skirmish, which dropped Beebe in a clear way. Fun stuff.
